Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for autonomous uplink confirmation triggering. One method includes receiving an autonomous uplink command from a network unit. The method includes triggering an autonomous uplink confirmation in response to receiving the autonomous uplink command. The method includes transmitting the autonomous uplink confirmation to the network unit in response to triggering the autonomous uplink confirmation to indicate reception of the autonomous uplink command.
Claims20
A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- receiving an autonomous uplink (AUL) command;
- triggering an AUL confirmation in response to the received AUL command;
- and
- transmitting the AUL confirmation in response to the triggered AUL confirmation,
- wherein the AUL confirmation is transmitted via a medium access control-control element (MAC-CE),
- wherein the MAC-CE comprises a bit that indicates a state of a resource identification, an activation of the resource identification, or a deactivation of the resource identification,
- wherein the AUL confirmation has a priority higher than:
- a MAC-CE for a buffer status report (BSR) excluding a BSR included for padding;
- a MAC-CE for a power headroom report (PHR), an extended PHR, or a dual connectivity (DC) PHR, or a combination thereof;
- a MAC-CE for a sidelink (SL) BSR excluding a SL BSR included for padding;
- data from a logical channel excluding data from an uplink common control channel (UL-CCCH);
- a MAC-CE for a recommended bit rate query;
- a MAC-CE for a BSR included for padding;
- and
- a MAC-CE for a sidelink BSR included for padding.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the UE to:
- receive an autonomous uplink (AUL) command;
- trigger an AUL confirmation in response to the received AUL command;
- and
- transmit the AUL confirmation in response to the triggered AUL confirmation,
- wherein the AUL confirmation is transmitted via a medium access control-control element (MAC-CE),
- wherein the MAC-CE comprises a bit that indicates a state of a resource identification, an activation of the resource identification, or a deactivation of the resource identification,
- wherein the AUL confirmation has a priority higher than:
- a MAC-CE for a buffer status report (BSR) excluding a BSR included for padding;
- a MAC-CE for a power headroom report (PHR), an extended PHR, or a dual connectivity (DC) PHR, or a combination thereof;
- a MAC-CE for a sidelink (SL) BSR excluding a reports BSR included for padding;
- data from a logical channel excluding data from an uplink common control channel (UL-CCCH);
- a MAC-CE for a recommended bit rate query;
- a MAC-CE for a BSR included for padding;
- and
- a MAC-CE for a sidelink BSR included for padding.
A base station, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the base station to:
- transmit an autonomous uplink (AUL) command, wherein the AUL command triggers an AUL confirmation;
- and
- receive the AUL confirmation in response to the triggered AUL confirmation,
- wherein the AUL confirmation is received via a medium access control-control element (MAC-CE),
- wherein the MAC-CE comprises a bit that indicates a state of a resource identification, an activation of the resource identification, or a deactivation of the resource identification,
- wherein the AUL confirmation has a priority higher than:
- a MAC-CE for a buffer status report (BSR) excluding a BSR included for padding;
- a MAC-CE for a power headroom report (PHR), an extended PHR, or a dual connectivity (DC) PHR, or a combination thereof;
- a MAC-CE for a sidelink (SL) BSR excluding a SL BSR included for padding;
- data from a logical channel excluding data from an uplink common control channel (UL-CCCH);
- a MAC-CE for a recommended bit rate query;
- a MAC-CE for a BSR included for padding;
- and
- a MAC-CE for a sidelink BSR included for padding.
A processor for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one controller coupled with at least one memory and configured to cause the processor to:
- receive an autonomous uplink (AUL) command;
- trigger an AUL confirmation in response to the received AUL command;
- and
- transmit the AUL confirmation in response to the triggered AUL confirmation,
- wherein the AUL confirmation is transmitted via a medium access control-control element (MAC-CE),
- wherein the MAC-CE comprises a bit that indicates a state of a resource identification, an activation of the resource identification, or a deactivation of the resource identification,
- wherein the AUL confirmation has a priority higher than:
- a MAC-CE for a buffer status report (BSR) excluding a BSR included for padding;
- a MAC-CE for a power headroom report (PHR), an extended PHR, or a dual connectivity (DC) PHR, or a combination thereof;
- a MAC-CE for a sidelink (SL) BSR excluding a reports BSR included for padding;
- data from a logical channel excluding data from an uplink common control channel (UL-CCCH);
- a MAC-CE for a recommended bit rate query;
- a MAC-CE for a BSR included for padding;
- and
- a MAC-CE for a sidelink BSR included for padding.
