Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide a mechanism for flexible scheduling of grants for downlink or uplink transmissions. In some examples, a grant may be scheduled using multiple control signals, where subsequent control signals may modify one or more properties of the grant. For example, the grant may be modified to add a packet to the grant for transmission on a different set of time-frequency resources or a different set of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) layers, modify a time-frequency resource allocation of the grant, modify the waveform utilized for the grant, modify the transmit-diversity scheme utilized for the grant, or indicate specific processing for the packet.

Claim (Index 22):
A scheduling entity in a wireless communication network, comprising:\n a transceiver for wireless communication with a set of one or more scheduled entities; a memory; and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver and the memory, the processor configured to:\n schedule a grant comprising a downlink assignment or an uplink grant for a first packet for a first scheduled entity of a set of one or more scheduled entities in wireless communication with the scheduling entity; \n transmit a first control channel comprising first control information to the first scheduled entity via the transceiver, wherein the first control information comprises the grant for the first packet; \n modify at least one property of a plurality of properties of the grant to produce grant modification information; and \n transmit a second control channel comprising second control information to the first scheduled entity via the transceiver, wherein the second control information comprises at least the grant modification information and is separate from the first control information.
