Abstract
In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, a method, including determining, by a user equipment, whether the user equipment is scheduled in one or more time frequency resources of a first transmission time interval or in one or more time frequency resources of a second transmission time interval, where the second transmission time interval is shorter than the first transmission time interval; and based on the determining, adjusting the monitoring of scheduling opportunities within a duration of the first transmission time interval, is disclosed.
Claims23
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and at least one memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform the following:
- determine, by a user equipment, whether the user equipment is scheduled in one or more time frequency resources of a first transmission time interval or in one or more time frequency resources of a second transmission time interval, where the second transmission time interval is shorter than the first transmission time interval;
- and
- based on the determining, adjust the monitoring of scheduling opportunities within a duration of the first transmission time interval.
7-8. (canceled)
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and at least one memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform the following:
- determine, by a base station, whether to schedule a user equipment in one or more time frequency resources of a first transmission time interval or in one or more time frequency resources of a second transmission time interval, where the second transmission time interval is shorter than the first transmission time interval;
- and
- based on the determining, transmit scheduling opportunities to the user equipment within a duration of the first transmission time interval.
(canceled)
17-21. (canceled)
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a user equipment, whether the user equipment is scheduled in one or more time frequency resources of a first transmission time interval or in one or more time frequency resources of a second transmission time interval, where the second transmission time interval is shorter than the first transmission time interval;
- and
- based on the determining, adjusting the monitoring of scheduling opportunities within a duration of the first transmission time interval.
The method according to claim 17, wherein the locations comprise locations within physical resource blocks.
The method according to claim 18, wherein each location comprises one or more orthogonal frequency division multiplexing symbols.
The method according to claim 17, wherein the user equipment determines to perform only one of the skipping or the reading based on user equipment configuration.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
