Techniques are disclosed relating to handling preemptive data services in cellular wireless transmissions. In some embodiments, a device receives a first downlink control information (DCI) message on resources in a first frequency band, where the first DCI message indicates resources for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission. In some embodiments, the device monitors a downlink control channel on a second frequency band, disjoint from the first frequency band. In some embodiments, subsequent to reception of the first DCI message, the detects an indicator in the downlink control channel and reduces the PUSCH transmission in response to the detection.
