iii. As another example, the symbol index E may be indicated as one of the following: 1) the symbol index S, 2) a symbol index S?1, 3) a symbol index S+D?1, 4) the last symbol index in the slot, 5) a symbol index S+D?2, 6) a symbol index S+1, and/or 7) the symbol index S+D. Alternatively, the symbol index E may be determined as one of the symbol indices without separate signaling.
IV. Step 4
1. For the middle slot in the slot set, a single PUSCH resource having the slot duration is allocated to each slot.
7) Data Mapping and DMRS Pattern
A. Data Mapping Type
i. In Embodiment 1, independent (or different) data mapping types may be configured for the first slot and the remaining slots.
1. For example, data mapping type B may be configured for a PUSCH allocated to the first slot, whereas data mapping type A (or B) may be configured for PUSCHs allocated to the middle slot and the last slot.
ii. Alternatively, independent (or different) data mapping types may be configured for the middle slot and the remaining slots.
1. For example, data mapping type A (or B) may be configured for a PUSCH allocated to the middle slot, whereas data mapping type B may be configured for PUSCHs allocated to the first slot and the last slot.
iii. Alternatively, independent data mapping types may be configured for the first slot, the middle slot, and the last slot.
1. For example, data mapping type B may be configured for a PUSCH allocated to the first slot, data mapping type A (or B) may be configured for a PUSCH allocated to the middle slot, and data mapping type A or B may be configured for a PUSCH allocated to the last slot.
