Techniques for alternative semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) parameter implementation in association with preemption of use of resources corresponding to other SPS parameters are described. Wireless devices may be implicitly informed with respect to implementing alternative resources corresponding to one or more alternative SPS parameters when use of resources corresponding to first SPS parameters is preempted. A disruption indication (DI), such as used to indicate preemption of downlink transmission on downlink SPS allocated resources and/or a cancellation indication of uplink transmission on uplink SPS allocated resources, may be used to inform (e.g., implicitly) one or more wireless devices to employ alternative resources corresponding to alternative SPS parameters available to the wireless devices. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
