In the example of FIG. 4, base station 105-b may transmit an interpretation indication 410 (e.g., in an RRC message) on carrier 405-a that indicates whether UE 115-b is to interpret future indications received from base station 105-b and pertaining to uplink transmissions on a carrier as either preemption indications or permission indications. That is, since preemption indications and permission indications may be transmitted in DCI having a same format (i.e., signaled using the same mechanism (e.g., same bit)), and the UE 115-b may monitor for preemption indications and permission indications using the same techniques, it may be appropriate for UE 115-b to identify whether DCI received from base station 105-b includes a preemption indication or a permission indication for MBB and low latency communication multiplexing.
The interpretation indication 410 may be a one-bit field, where a one may indicate that future indications received from base station 105-b and pertaining to uplink transmissions on a carrier correspond to preemption indications, and a zero may indicate that future indications received from base station 105-b and pertaining to uplink transmissions on a carrier correspond to permission indications (or vice versa). That is, the interpretation indication 410 may indicate to UE 115-b that the use case or purpose of future indications corresponds to preemption indications or permission indications. UE 115-b may therefore receive the interpretation indication 410 and may determine whether to interpret future indications as preemption indications or permission indications.
