US Patent 11711842 Aggregation factor associations in uplink and downlink transmissions

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a control signal indicating a resource allocation for either an uplink transmission or a downlink transmission. The UE may identify, based at least in part on a modulation and coding scheme indicated in the control signal, an aggregation factor of the uplink transmission or the downlink transmission. The UE may communicate with the base station by either transmitting the uplink transmission or receiving the downlink transmission in accordance with the resource allocation and the aggregation factor.
