Abstract

A wireless device determines that a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) duration of an uplink grant of a bundle of a configured uplink grant overlaps with a transmission of a message A (MsgA) payload of a two-step random-access procedure of a cell. Based on the determining, the wireless device ignores the uplink grant by not transmitting via a first PUSCH resource of the uplink grant.

Claims (32)

1. A method comprising:

determining, by a wireless device, that a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) duration of an uplink grant of a bundle of a configured uplink grant overlaps with a transmission of a message A (MsgA) payload of a two-step random-access procedure of a cell; and

based on the determining, ignoring the uplink grant by not transmitting via a first PUSCH resource of the uplink grant.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising one or more configuration parameters, of the cell, indicating PUSCH resources for transmission of the MsgA payload of the two-step random-access procedure.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising selecting, based on initiating the two-step random-access procedure, a second PUSCH resource from the PUSCH resources.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising transmitting, via the second PUSCH resource, the MsgA payload in response to the selecting the second PUSCH resource.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising transmitting, for the two-step random-access procedure, a random-access preamble that is mapped to the second PUSCH resource.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configured uplink grant is a configured grant Type 1 or a configured grant Type 2.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PUSCH duration overlapping with the transmission of the MsgA payload via the second PUSCH resource comprises:

overlapping with a first duration of the transmission of the MsgA payload.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PUSCH duration overlapping with the transmission of the MsgA payload via the second PUSCH resource comprises:

overlapping in at least one symbol or at least one slot or at least one subframe.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cell is an unlicensed cell.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the two-step random-access procedure is a contention-free random-access procedure.

11. 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:

determine that a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) duration of an uplink grant of a bundle of a configured uplink grant overlaps with a transmission of a message A (MsgA) payload of a two-step random-access procedure of a cell; and

based on the determining, ignore the uplink grant by not transmitting via a first PUSCH resource of the uplink grant.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:

receive one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising one or more configuration parameters, of the cell, indicating PUSCH resources for transmission of the MsgA payload of the two-step random-access procedure.

13. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to select, based on initiating the two-step random-access procedure, a second PUSCH resource from the PUSCH resources.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to transmit, via the second PUSCH resource, the MsgA payload in response to the selecting the second PUSCH resource.

15. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to transmit, for the two-step random-access procedure, a random-access preamble that is mapped to the second PUSCH resource.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the configured uplink grant is a configured grant Type 1 or a configured grant Type 2.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the PUSCH duration overlapping with the transmission of the MsgA payload via the second PUSCH resource comprises overlapping with a first duration of the transmission of the MsgA payload.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the PUSCH duration overlapping with the transmission of the MsgA payload via the second PUSCH resource comprises overlapping in at least one symbol or at least one slot or at least one subframe.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the cell is an unlicensed cell.

20. A system comprising:

a base station; and

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:

determine that a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) duration of an uplink grant of a bundle of a configured uplink grant overlaps with a transmission of a message A (MsgA) payload of a two-step random-access procedure of a cell; and

based on the determining, ignore the uplink grant by not transmitting, to the base station, via a first PUSCH resource of the uplink grant.
