Control information-based packet stitching of self-scheduled uplink transmissions

A network entity, comprising:

• one or more memories storing processor-executable code;
• and
• one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the network entity to:
• transmit control signaling that indicates an uplink resource pool associated with user equipment (UE) self-scheduled transmissions;
• receive a plurality of units associated with a coded packet via a plurality of time-frequency resources from the uplink resource pool associated with the UE self-scheduled transmissions, wherein each unit of the plurality of units includes respective control information indicating at least a location of that unit within an ordered sequence of the plurality of units and a respective portion of a plurality of portions the coded packet;
• and
• process the plurality of units in association with:
• an attempt to individually decode the respective control information within each unit of the plurality of units, and
• an attempt to jointly decode the plurality of portions of the coded packet in accordance with the ordered sequence of the plurality of units.

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

• receiving control signaling that indicates an uplink resource pool associated with UE self-scheduled transmissions;
• generating a coded packet based on an uplink data payload;
• and
• transmitting a plurality of units associated with the coded packet via a plurality of time-frequency resources from the uplink resource pool associated with the UE self-scheduled transmissions, wherein each unit of the plurality of units includes:
• respective control information indicating at least a location of that unit within an ordered sequence of the plurality of units, and
• a respective portion of a plurality of portions of the coded packet.
