Assignee: QUALCOMM INCORPORATED
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 7:
8. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
a transceiver;
a memory configured to store instructions; and
at least one processor communicatively coupled with the transceiver and the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
determine a resource block allocation for a single-carrier waveform associated with time domain processing, wherein the resource block allocation is determined based on one of:
(a) a semi-static assignment of resource blocks via radio resource control (RRC) signaling and varies based on a predetermined pattern received via a network entity indication, or
(b) receiving a media access control (MAC) control element (CE),
transmitting an acknowledgment to the network entity in response to receiving the MAC CE; and
utilizing the resource block allocation a period of time after transmission of the acknowledgment to the network entity, or
(c) receiving an assignment to one or more distinct resource block allocations via downlink control information (DCI), wherein the DCI includes a first stage cross-slot DCI controlling the resource block allocation and a second stage DCI indicating scheduling parameters other than the resource block allocation;

configure data for transmission or reception according to the single-carrier waveform and based on the determined resource block allocation; and
transmit or receiving the data according to the single-carrier waveform and the determined resource block allocation to a network entity.
