SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROL OF CONFIGURED UL AND DL TRANSMISSIONS

Systems and methods are disclosed for control of configured transmissions in a cellular communications system. A method performed by a wireless communication device includes receiving, from a base station, a configuration of a set of symbols for one or more configured transmissions and monitoring for a Downlink Control Information (DCI) that uses a particular DCI format. The method further includes, when the wireless communication device does not detect a DCI that uses the particular DCI format and either: (a) a semi-static Time Division Duplexing (TDD) configuration received by the wireless communication device indicates the set of symbols configured for the one or more configured transmissions as flexible or (b) the wireless communication device did not receive a semi-static TDD configuration, making a determination of whether the one or more configured transmissions are allowed to be transmitted or are received based on whether a parameter is configured.
