The disclosure relates in some aspects to techniques for use in systems where a plurality of devices with different priority levels share a common set of resources for communication (e.g., downlink transmissions). Certain aspects provide a new indication channel and a procedure to signal scheduling information (e.g., priority information). Such information may serve as an indicator for possible new grants. Such information may additionally serve as an indicator for higher-priority scheduling conflicts or include explicit commands that result from conflicts (e.g., conflicts relating to puncturing of resources allocated for transmissions to lower priority devices).
