Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a grant associated with a group common scheduling request (SR) resource. The UE may transmit an SR based at least in part on the UE belonging to a group associated with the group common SR resource. Numerous other aspects are described.

First claim

1 . A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory; and one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
receive a grant associated with a group common scheduling request (SR) resource; and
transmit an SR based at least in part on the UE belonging to a group associated with the group common SR resource.

2 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to identify the group common SR resource based at least in part on a group common cell-specific radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI).

3 . The UE of claim 2 , wherein the grant is scrambled with the C-RNTI.

4 . The UE of claim 2 , wherein the grant is included in a medium access control control element (MAC CE).

5 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to activate the group common SR resource based at least in part on Layer 1 (L1) or Layer 2 (L2) signaling.

6 . The UE of claim 5 , wherein the L1 or L2 signaling includes a group common medium access control control element (MAC CE).

7 . The UE of claim 5 , wherein the L1 or L2 signaling includes group common downlink control information.

8 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to activate the group common SR resource based at least in part on a wake-up signal (WUS).

9 . The UE of claim 8 , wherein the WUS is scrambled with an identifier associated with the group.

10 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the group common SR resource associated with the group does not overlap with a group common SR resource associated with another group.

11 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein contention-based resource selection is limited to UEs within the group.

12 . A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory; and one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
receive reservation information, associated with scheduling requests (SRs), from other UEs; and
selectively transmit an SR based at least in part on a priority of each UE indicated in the reservation information.

13 . The UE of claim 12 , wherein the one or more processors, to selectively transmit the SR, are configured to:
transmit the SR based at least in part on the UE having a higher priority than the other UEs, or refrain from transmitting the SR based at least in part on the UE having a lower priority than the other UEs.

14 . The UE of claim 12 , wherein the priority of each UE of the other UEs is associated with a latency requirement and a respective remaining latency for the UE.

15 . The UE of claim 12 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to retransmit the SR based at least in part on an expiration of a resume SR timer that starts after a failure of the SR.

16 . A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory; and one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
receive a configuration for a default order of UEs for scheduling requests (SRs); and
selectively transmit an SR based at least in part on a location of the UE within the default order.

17 . The UE of claim 16 , wherein the default order orders UEs by priority.

18 . The UE of claim 16 , wherein the one or more processors, to selectively transmit the SR, are configured to transmit the SR based at least in part on the UE being next in order, according to the default order.

19 . A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory; and one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
sense for other UEs using a multiplexing resource for scheduling requests (SRs); and
selectively transmit an SR based at least in part on a result of the sensing.

20 . The UE of claim 19 , wherein the one or more processors, to selectively transmit the SR, are configured to:
transmit the SR based at least in part on the result indicating that another UE is using the multiplexing resource, or refrain from transmitting the SR based at least in part on the result indicating that no other UE is using the multiplexing resource.
