Abstract

A wireless device may receive at least one message. The at least one message may comprise: first configuration parameters for a first semi-persistent scheduling (SPS), second configuration parameters for a second SPS, and a maximum number of uplink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes shared among the first SPS and the second SPS. A first downlink control information (DCI) indicating a first resource assignment for the first SPS may be received. A second DCI indicating a second resource assignment for the second SPS may be received. A first transport block (TB) associated with a first HARQ process identifier may be transmitted, employing the first resource assignment. A second TB associated with a second HARQ process identifier may be transmitted, employing the second resource assignment. The second HARQ process identifier of the second SPS may be determined at least based on the first HARQ process identifier of the first SPS.

Claims (48)

1. A method performed by a wireless device comprising:

receiving one or more radio resource control messages comprising first configuration parameters for a first semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) the first configuration parameters indicating:

a semi-persistent uplink interval;

a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifier offset; and

a number of uplink semi-persistent HARQ processes;

receiving a downlink control information indicating a resource assignment for the first SPS;

determining a HARQ process identifier for a current transmission time interval as a sum of the HARQ process identifier offset and a value determined based on:

the current transmission time interval;

the semi-persistent uplink interval; and

the number of uplink semi-persistent HARQ processes; and

transmitting, employing the resource assignment, a transport block (TB) of the first SPS associated with a HARQ process identified by the HARQ process identifier.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more radio resource control messages indicate a plurality of offset values comprising the HARQ process identifier offset and a second HARQ process identifier offset.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the HARQ process identifier offset is obtained at least based on a first sequence identifier associated with the first SPS.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more radio resource control messages further comprise the first sequence identifier.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first sequence identifier is obtained at least based on the first configuration parameters.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a second HARQ process identifier offset value is determined based on the HARQ process identifier offset plus a first parameter of the first configuration parameters.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more radio resource control messages further comprise third configuration parameters shared among the first SPS and a second SPS.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more radio resource control messages further comprise second configuration parameters for a second SPS.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein a second HARQ process identifier offset value for the second SPS is the HARQ process identifier offset plus a first parameter of the first configuration parameters.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second configuration parameters indicate:

a second semi-persistent uplink interval;

a second HARQ process identifier offset; and

a second number of uplink semi-persistent HARQ processes.

11. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

receive one or more radio resource control messages comprising first configuration parameters for a first semi-persistent scheduling (SPS), the first configuration parameters indicating:

a semi-persistent uplink interval;

a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifier offset; and

a number of uplink semi-persistent HARQ processes;

receive a downlink control information indicating a resource assignment for the first SPS;

determine a HARQ process identifier for a current transmission time interval as a sum of the HARQ process identifier offset and a value determined based on:

the current transmission time interval;

the semi-persistent uplink interval; and

the number of uplink semi-persistent HARQ processes; and

transmit, employing the resource assignment, a transport block (TB) of the first SPS associated with a HARQ process identified by the HARQ process identifier.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more radio resource control messages indicate a plurality of offset values comprising the HARQ process identifier offset and a second HARQ process identifier offset.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the HARQ process identifier offset is obtained at least based on a first sequence identifier associated with the first SPS.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the one or more radio resource control messages further comprise the first sequence identifier.

15. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the first sequence identifier is obtained at least based on the first configuration parameters.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein a second HARQ process identifier offset value is determined based on the HARQ process identifier offset plus a first parameter of the first configuration parameters.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more radio resource control messages further comprise third configuration parameters shared among the first SPS and a second SPS.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more radio resource control messages further comprise second configuration parameters for a second SPS.

19. The wireless device of claim 18 , wherein a second HARQ process identifier offset value for the second SPS is the HARQ process identifier offset plus a first parameter of the first configuration parameters.

20. The wireless device of claim 18 , wherein the second configuration parameters indicate:

a second semi-persistent uplink interval;

a second HARQ process identifier offset; and

a second number of uplink semi-persistent HARQ processes.
