In this way, by jointly activating and/or releasing multiple downlink SPS configurations, multiple uplink CG configurations, and/or the like using a single DCI message, aspects described herein may conserve network resources, base station resources, UE resources, and/or the like relative to current approaches that use multiple DCIs to separately activate and/or release the multiple downlink SPS configurations, the multiple uplink CG configurations, and/or the like. Furthermore, some aspects described herein may constrain a length of the bit sequence in the single DCI message to be less than or equal to a length of a DCI field used for separate activation and/or release, which avoids incurring additional overhead by ensuring that the joint activation and/or joint release technique(s) do not impact a size of the DCI message. In a similar respect, an existing DCI field (e.g., a HARQ process number) may be used to indicate which configuration(s) are to be activated and/or released, thus avoiding a need to introduce a new DCI field to indicate which configuration(s) are to be activated and/or released, which would otherwise require that the new DCI field be padded in a Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) to avoid increasing the DCI size.
