Abstract

A wireless device receives, from a base station, a first uplink grant, for a first transport block (TB) of a hybrid acknowledgment repeat request (HARQ) process. The wireless device cancels an uplink transmission of the first TB of the HARQ process based on receiving a pre-emption indication indicating cancellation of transmission via one or more uplink resources indicated by the first uplink grant. The wireless device determines, after cancelling the uplink transmission of the first TB of the HARQ process, that a received second uplink grant is used for a new transmission of a second TB associated with the HARQ process. The wireless device transmits, to the base station, the second TB of the HARQ process based on the determining.

Claims (47)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device from a base station, a first uplink grant, for a first transport block (TB) of a hybrid acknowledgment repeat request (HARQ) process associated with a new data indication (NDI);

receiving a group common downlink control information (DCI) comprising a pre-emption indication indicating cancellation of transmission via one or more uplink resources indicated by the first uplink grant;

cancelling an uplink transmission of the first TB of the HARQ process based on the receiving the pre-emption indication;

determining the NDI associated with the HARQ process as being toggled after cancelling the uplink transmission of the first TB of the HARQ process;

determining that a received second uplink grant is used for a new transmission of a second TB associated with the HARQ process based on the NDI associated with the HARQ process being toggled; and

transmitting, by the wireless device to the base station, the second TB of the HARQ process based on the determining.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a first new data indicator associated with the first uplink grant comprises a first value.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

storing, by the wireless device, the first value of the first uplink grant; and

maintaining, by the wireless device, the first value after cancelling the uplink transmission indicated by the first uplink grant.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein a second new data indicator associated with the second uplink grant comprises a second value different from the first value.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising determining that a new data indication of the HARQ process is toggled based on the second value being different from the first value.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the transmitting the second TB of the HARQ process is based on the new data indication being toggled.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second TB is different from the first TB.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting of the second TB is an initial transmitting of the second TB.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first uplink grant is included in a first downlink control information comprising a process identifier of the HARQ process.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the second uplink grant is included in a second downlink control information comprising the process identifier of the HARQ process.

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:

receive, from a base station, a first uplink grant for a first transport block (TB) of a hybrid acknowledgment repeat request (HARQ) process associated with a new data indication (NDI);

receive a group common downlink control information (DCI) comprising a pre-emption indication indicating cancellation of transmission via one or more uplink resources indicated by the first uplink grant;

cancel an uplink transmission of the first TB of the HARQ process based on the receiving the pre-emption indication;

determine the NDI associated with the HARQ process as being toggled after cancelling the uplink transmission of the first TB of the HARQ process;

determine that a received second uplink grant is used for a new transmission of a second TB associated with the HARQ process based on the NDI associated with the HARQ process being toggled; and

transmit, by the wireless device to the base station, the second TB of the HARQ process based on the determining.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein a first new data indicator associated with the first uplink grant comprises a first value.

13. The wireless device of claim 12 , further comprising:

storing, by the wireless device, the first value of the first uplink grant; and

maintaining, by the wireless device, the first value after cancelling the uplink transmission indicated by the first uplink grant.

14. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein a second new data indicator associated with the second uplink grant comprises a second value different from the first value.

15. The wireless device of claim 14 , further comprising determining that a new data indication of the HARQ process is toggled based on the second value being different from the first value.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the transmitting the second TB of the HARQ process is based on the new data indication being toggled.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the second TB is different from the first TB.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the transmitting of the second TB is an initial transmitting of the second TB.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein:

the first uplink grant is included in a first downlink control information comprising a process identifier of the HARQ process; and

the second uplink grant is included in a second downlink control information comprising the process identifier of the HARQ process.

20. 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, from a base station, a first uplink grant for a first transport block (TB) of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process associated with a new data indication (NDI);

receive a group common downlink control information (DCI) comprising a pre-emption indication indicating cancellation of transmission via one or more uplink resources indicated by the first uplink grant;

cancel an uplink transmission of the first TB of the HARQ process based on the receiving the pre-emption indication;

determine the NDI associated with the HARQ process as being toggled after cancelling the uplink transmission of the first TB of the HARQ process;

determine that a received second uplink grant is used for a new transmission of a second TB associated with the HARQ process based on the NDI associated with the HARQ process being toggled; and

transmit, by the wireless device to the base station, the second TB of the HARQ process based on the determining.
