Gap period configuration

Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for gap period configuration. One apparatus includes a receiver that receives a configuration message. The configuration message includes information that configures one or more gap periods within a transmission period. The apparatus also includes a transmitter that transmits data in the transmission period. The receiver receives a control indication message in the one or more gap periods.

1 . An apparatus comprising a user equipment, wherein the apparatus comprises:
 a receiver that receives a configuration message from a base station, wherein the configuration message comprises information that configures one or more gap periods within a transmission period; and   a transmitter that transmits data to the base station in the transmission period, wherein:
 the receiver further receives a control indication message from the base station in the one or more gap periods; 
 the control indication message comprises information indicating whether data transmitted in the transmission period is to switch between a grant-free transmission and a grant-based transmission; and 
 the control indication message comprises transmission pattern information comprising a size of transmission data, a redundancy version of transmission data, a modulation and code scheme of transmission data, a number of transmission repetitions, or some combination thereof.
