Abstract
Provided are a communication apparatus, a scheduling node, and communication methods for a communication apparatus and a scheduling node. The communication apparatus comprises a transceiver, which, in operation, receives an indication configuration defining one or more configured grant, CG configurations to which an indication of unused CG transmission occasions, TOs, is applicable, and circuitry, which, in operation, generates, based on the indication configuration, the indication of unused CG TOs indicating unused TOs in a number n of TOs of the one or more CG configurations, wherein the transceiver, in operation, transmits the indication of unused CG TOs.
Claims15
A communication apparatus, comprising:
- a transceiver, which, in operation, receives an indication configuration defining one or more configured grant (CG) configurations, to which an indication of unused CG transmission occasions (TOs) is applicable;
- and
- circuitry, which, in operation, generates, based on the indication configuration, the indication of unused CG TOs indicating unused TOs in a number n of TOs of the one or more CG configurations;
- wherein the transceiver, in operation, transmits the indication of unused CG TOs.
A scheduling node, comprising:
- circuitry, which, in operation, determines an indication configuration defining one or more configured grant (CG) configurations, to which an indication of unused CG transmission occasions (TOs) is applicable;
- and
- a transceiver, which, in operation, transmits the indication configuration, and receives the indication of unused CG TOs indicating unused TOs in a number n of TOs of the one or more CG configurations.
A communication method for a communication apparatus, comprising the steps of:
- receiving an indication configuration defining one or more configured grant (CG) configurations, to which an indication of unused CG transmission occasions (TOs) is applicable;
- generating, based on the indication configuration, the indication of unused CG TOs indicating unused TOs unused TOs in a number n of TOs for of the one or more CG configurations;
- and
- transmitting the indication of unused CG TOs.
