Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for managing resources for cooperative uplink transmission. A base station may determine different groups for a plurality of user equipments (UEs) participating in cooperative uplink transmission, and transmit mode configurations indicating whether or not UEs in each group are configured to transmit data as a data source or to relay data received from another UE configured to transmit data as a data source. A UE may participate, with one or more other UEs, in cooperative uplink transmission to the base station, wherein each UE belongs to a group. The UE may determine, for a transmission time interval (TTI), at least one operation to perform for the cooperative uplink transmission based, at least in part, on a group number of a group to which the UE belongs and an index of the TTI.
