Grant-free admission control to a shared channel

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• receiving an admission control parameter from a base station;
• setting a grant-free access threshold based at least in part on the admission control parameter;
• determining eligibility to obtain grant-free access to resources of a shared channel based at least in part on the grant-free access threshold;
• and
• communicating with the base station based at least in part on the determined eligibility.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the apparatus to:
• select an admission control parameter from a plurality of admission control parameters, the selected admission control parameter setting a grant-free access threshold for determining eligibility to obtain grant-free access to resources of a shared channel;
• and
• transmit the selected admission control parameter to configure a user equipment (UE) with the grant-free access threshold.
