Management of overlapping semi-persistent scheduling (sps) configured physical downlink shared channel (pdsch) transmission occasions

A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

• identifying one or more semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission occasions in a slot;
• receiving, from a base station (BS) and via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) activation downlink control information (DCI) configured to activate at the UE a SPS configuration,
• the SPS configuration including a configuration index and configured to schedule a SPS PDSCH transmission occasion associated with the configuration index;
• and
• activating or reactivating, in response to the receiving the SPS activation, the SPS PDSCH transmission occasion associated with the configuration index based on:
• a separation in symbols between an end of the SPS activation DCI and a start of an earliest SPS PDSCH transmission occasion of the one or more SPS PDSCH transmission occasions in a same slot as the SPS PDSCH transmission occasion associated with the configuration index;
• or
• a comparison of a first result of applying a first SPS PDSCH transmission occasions collision avoidance procedure and a second result of applying a second SPS PDSCH transmission occasions collision avoidance procedure,
• the first SPS PDSCH transmission occasions collision avoidance procedure applied to a first set of SPS PDSCH transmission occasions including the one or more SPS PDSCH transmission occasions;
• and
• the second SPS PDSCH transmission occasions collision avoidance procedure applied to a second set of SPS PDSCH transmission occasions including the SPS PDSCH transmission occasion associated with the configuration index and the one or more SPS PDSCH transmission occasions.

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• identify a plurality of semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission occasions in a slot;
• a transceiver configured to:
• receive, from a base station (BS) and via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) release configured to release at the UE a SPS configuration including a configuration index,
• the SPS configuration configured to schedule, of the plurality of SPS PDSCH transmission occasions in the slot, a SPS PDSCH transmission occasion associated with the configuration index, the processor further configured to, in response to the receiving the SPS release, perform:
• a first action that is releasing the SPS PDSCH transmission occasion associated with the configuration index followed by applying a first SPS PDSCH transmission occasions collision avoidance procedure to a first set of SPS PDSCH transmission occasions,
• the first set of SPS PDSCH transmission occasions including SPS PDSCH transmission occasions of the plurality of SPS PDSCH transmission occasions remaining after the releasing the SPS PDSCH transmission occasion associated with the configuration index;
• or
• a second action that is applying a second SPS PDSCH transmission occasions collision avoidance procedure to a second set of SPS PDSCH transmission occasions followed by releasing the SPS PDSCH transmission occasion associated with the configuration index,
• the second set of SPS PDSCH transmission occasions including the plurality of SPS PDSCH transmission occasions.
