Error correction-based scheduling for wireless communications

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:
• obtain forward error correction encoding information for data packets associated with a traffic flow of a user equipment (UE), wherein the forward error correction encoding information indicates that the data packets associated with the traffic flow are encoded according to a forward error correction encoding scheme;
• transmit control signaling that schedules communication of the data packets associated with the traffic flow for the UE based at least in part on the forward error correction encoding information;
• and
• communicate the data packets associated with the traffic flow with the UE based at least in part on a quantity of transmission resources indicated by the control signaling for transmission of the data packets and the forward error correction encoding information.

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

• transmitting forward error correction encoding information for data packets associated with a traffic flow of the UE, wherein the forward error correction encoding information indicates that the data packets associated with the traffic flow are encoded according to a forward error correction encoding scheme;
• receiving control signaling that schedules transmission of the data packets associated with the traffic flow to a network entity based at least in part on the forward error correction encoding information;
• and
• transmitting the data packets associated with the traffic flow to the network entity based at least in part on a quantity of transmission resources indicated by the control signaling for transmission of the data packets and the forward error correction encoding information.
