US Patent 11191078 Traffic-priority-based transmission power fallback for interference mitigation

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described to provide priority traffic grant-less access to pre-defined communication resources that are semi-persistently scheduled. A set of semi-persistent communication resources may be reserved for use by priority traffic. If the semi-persistent resources are not used for priority traffic, the semi-persistent resources may be scheduled for use by other types of traffic. As priority traffic is identified, the priority traffic may be transmitted using the semi-persistent resource without having those communication resources granted by a scheduling entity. Such grant-less access to the semi-persistent resources may result in collisions between the scheduled traffic and the priority traffic. To mitigate interference between different traffic types, the scheduled traffic may be transmitted using a transmission power that ensures an interference parameter indicative of an amount of interference imposed by the scheduled traffic on the priority traffic satisfies an interference threshold.
