In the example of FIG. 2, base station 105-a may dynamically configure MBB UE 115-a to monitor for a preemption indication for an uplink or downlink transmission (or a set of uplink or downlink transmissions). In particular, base station 105-a may transmit a monitoring indication 210 in a grant on carrier 205-a to UE 115-a that indicates whether UE 115-a is to monitor for a preemption indication for an uplink or downlink transmission scheduled by the grant. The monitoring indication 210 may be a one-bit field, where a one may indicate that UE 115-a is to monitor for a preemption indication (e.g., used when the scheduled uplink or downlink transmission is likely to be preempted by a low latency transmission), and a zero may indicate that UE 115-a is to avoid monitoring for a preemption indication (e.g., used when the scheduled uplink or downlink transmission will not be or is not likely to be preempted by a low latency transmission). Base station 105-a may then communicate with UE 115-a on carrier 205-b based on whether the monitoring indication 210 indicates that UE 115-a is to monitor for a preemption indication for an uplink or downlink transmission scheduled by the grant or that UE 115-a is to avoid monitoring for the preemption indication for the uplink or downlink transmission scheduled by the grant.
