Abstract

A wireless device receives one or more configuration parameters indicating: a discontinuous reception (DRX) operation and to transmit a report at a first symbol. The wireless device transmits the report at the first symbol based on a second symbol being in an active time of the DRX operation, where the second symbol occurs a number of symbols prior to the first symbol, and the number of symbols is determined based on an open-loop timing advance (TA) value.

Claims (56)

1 . A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising:

a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration indicating:

a DRX hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) round trip time (RTT) timer; and

a DRX retransmission timer; and

a configured grant (CG) configuration of a configured uplink grant, wherein the CG configuration indicates whether to start the DRX HARQ RTT timer for uplink transmissions of the configured uplink grant;

transmitting a transport block using the configured uplink grant; and

in response to transmitting the transport block, not starting the DRX retransmission timer, for a HARQ process associated with the configured uplink grant, based on the CG configuration indicating to not start the DRX HARQ RTT timer for the uplink transmissions of the configured uplink grant.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the transport block is in response to:

the receiving the one or more RRC messages comprising the CG configuration; and

the configured uplink grant being a configured grant Type 1.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a downlink control information (DCI) activating a configured grant Type 2, wherein the transmitting the transport block is in response to receiving the DCI activating the configured grant Type 2.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the CG configuration comprises a periodicity of the configured uplink grant.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

not starting the DRX HARQ RTT timer based on the CG configuration indicating to not start the DRX HARQ RTT timer for the uplink transmissions of the configured uplink grant.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more RRC messages do not comprise an uplink HARQ mode for the HARQ process.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transport block is transmitted via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission.

8 . A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising:

a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration indicating:

a DRX hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) round trip time (RTT) timer; and

a DRX retransmission timer; and

a configured grant (CG) configuration of a configured uplink grant, wherein the CG configuration indicates whether to start the DRX HARQ RTT timer for uplink transmissions of the configured uplink grant;

transmit a transport block using the configured uplink grant; and

in response to transmitting the transport block, not start the DRX retransmission timer,

for a HARQ process associated with the configured uplink grant, based on the CG configuration indicating to not start the DRX HARQ RTT timer for the uplink transmissions of the configured uplink grant.

9 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein transmitting the transport block is in response to:

the receiving the one or more RRC messages comprising the CG configuration; and

the configured uplink grant being a configured grant Type 1.

10 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:

receive a downlink control information (DCI) activating a configured grant Type 2, wherein the transmitting the transport block is in response to receiving the DCI activating the configured grant Type 2.

11 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the CG configuration comprises a periodicity of the configured uplink grant.

12 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:

not start the DRX HARQ RTT timer based on the CG configuration indicating to not start the DRX HARQ RTT timer for the uplink transmissions of the configured uplink grant.

13 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more RRC messages do not comprise an uplink HARQ mode for the HARQ process.

14 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the transport block is transmitted via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless device, cause the wireless device to:

receive one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising:

a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration indicating:

a DRX hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) round trip time (RTT) timer; and

a DRX retransmission timer; and

a configured grant (CG) configuration of a configured uplink grant, wherein the CG configuration indicates whether to start the DRX HARQ RTT timer for uplink transmissions of the configured uplink grant;

transmit a transport block using the configured uplink grant; and

in response to transmitting the transport block, not start the DRX retransmission timer, for a HARQ process associated with the configured uplink grant, based on the CG configuration indicating to not start the DRX HARQ RTT timer for the uplink transmissions of the configured uplink grant.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein transmitting the transport block is in response to:

the receiving the one or more RRC messages comprising the CG configuration; and

the configured uplink grant being a configured grant Type 1.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:

receive a downlink control information (DCI) activating a configured grant Type 2, wherein the transmitting the transport block is in response to receiving the DCI activating the configured grant Type 2.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the CG configuration comprises a periodicity of the configured uplink grant.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:

not start the DRX HARQ RTT timer based on the CG configuration indicating to not start the DRX HARQ RTT timer for the uplink transmissions of the configured uplink grant.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more RRC messages do not comprise an uplink HARQ mode for the HARQ process.
