Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure relate to communication systems, apparatus and methods which enable or support transmitting/receiving downlink control information (DCI) carrying a downlink grant or an uplink grant. A method includes detecting a reference length based on an effective length of a downlink (DL) grant DCI and an effective length of an uplink (UL) grant DCI and calculating a length difference based on the effective DL grant DCI length and the effective UL grant DCI length. A length of a padding field in the DL grant DCI and/or the UL grant DCI is set equal to the calculated length difference such that the lengths of the DL grant DCI and UL grant DCI are both equal to the reference length. Padding bits are inserted in the padding field of the DL grant DCI and/or the UL grant DCI. Thereafter, the DL grant DCI and/or the UL grant DCI is encoded and transmitted to a scheduled entity.

Claim (Index 13):
The apparatus of  claim 9 , further including means for transmitting a configuration to the scheduled entity, the configuration including at least one of:\n a DL grant DCI format indicating the effective DL grant DCI length; a UL grant DCI format indicating the effective UL grant DCI length; or a common total length that is no shorter than both the effective DL grant DCI length and the effective UL grant DCI length.
