Patent ID: 10764833

Abstract:
Some wireless communications systems may support mobile broadband (MBB) communications and low latency communications. To facilitate low latency communications, a base station may assign resources allocated for an MBB transmission for a low latency transmission. As described herein, to limit interference between an MBB transmission and a low latency transmission while maximizing the chances that the MBB transmission is received, an MBB user equipment (UE) may be configured to adjust a transmit power for the MBB transmission to limit the impact on a low latency transmission without preempting the MBB transmission. However, if the MBB UE is unable to adjust the transmit power for the MBB transmission prior to the MBB transmission, the MBB UE may determine whether to drop a portion of the MBB transmission on the resources assigned for the low latency transmission (e.g., based on whether a received power of the MBB transmission exceeds a threshold).
