Patent ID: 10097260

Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure describe an indication channel for wireless communications that indicates whether an ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) transmission is present in a current mini-slot within an enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) slot. A base station may determine that an indication message is to be transmitted within the eMBB slot. The indication message may indicate that at least a portion of the mini-slot of the eMBB slot is used for the URLLC transmission. The base station may allocate one or more resources to an indication channel in a same mini-slot as the portion of the mini-slot to be used for the URLLC transmission. The base station may transmit the indication message during the mini-slot on the indication channel using the allocated one or more resources. A UE may receive the indication channel and process at least the portion of the mini-slot based on whether the indication message is received.
