Dynamic downlink control information timing indications in new radio

A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

• memory;
• and
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
• receive downlink control information (DCI) that includes a timing value indicating a timing of an opportunity, subsequent to reception of the DCI, for transmission or reception of a communication corresponding to the DCI;
• determine an uplink opportunity for transmission of the communication or a downlink opportunity for reception of the communication based at least in part on the timing of the opportunity,
• wherein a counter for determining the uplink opportunity is incremented only for transmission time intervals (TTIs) in which the UE is allowed to transmit the communication in an uplink channel, or
• wherein a counter for determining the downlink opportunity is incremented only for TTIs in which the UE can expect to receive the communication in a downlink channel;
• and
• transmit or receive the communication in the uplink opportunity or the downlink opportunity.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for wireless communication, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the one or more processors to:
• receive downlink control information (DCI) that includes a timing value indicating a timing of an opportunity, subsequent to reception of the DCI, for transmission or reception of a communication corresponding to the DCI;
• determine an uplink opportunity for transmission of the communication or a downlink opportunity for reception of the communication based at least in part on the timing of the opportunity,
• wherein a counter for determining the uplink opportunity is incremented only for transmission time intervals (TTIs) in which the UE is allowed to transmit the communication in an uplink channel, or
• wherein a counter for determining the downlink opportunity is incremented only for TTIs in which the UE can expect to receive the communication in a downlink channel;
• and
• transmit or receive the communication in the uplink opportunity or the downlink opportunity.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for receiving downlink control information (DCI) that includes a timing value indicating a timing of an opportunity, subsequent to reception of the DCI, for transmission or reception of a communication corresponding to the DCI;
• means for determining an uplink opportunity for transmission of the communication or a downlink opportunity for reception of the communication based at least in part on the timing of the opportunity,
• wherein a counter for determining the uplink opportunity is incremented only for transmission time intervals (TTIs) in which the UE is allowed to transmit the communication in an uplink channel, or
• wherein a counter for determining the downlink opportunity is incremented only for TTIs in which the UE can expect to receive the communication in a downlink channel;
• and
• means for transmitting or receiving the communication in the uplink opportunity or the downlink opportunity.
