A network may switch an LTE-NR multiplexing scheme between FDM and TDM, based on power headroom reporting (PHR) or UE triggering. When the switching is applied, whether TDM-based multiplexing is applied only to PUCCH/PRACH transmission or to all UL transmissions may also become obvious.
3. DC at the Same Frequency
(1) Control Channel Reception
A UE may expect one or more control channels in one slot. However, processing power of the UE may be limited. Each control channel may perform the same slot scheduling or cross-slot scheduling. Even if the UE expects to receive a single control channel, the UE may receive a plurality of control channels. In this case, one control channel may perform one identical slot scheduling, and another control channel may perform one cross-slot scheduling. That is, the UE may expect to receive one or more control channels, and instead, each control channel may schedule up to one data channel in each slot.
