Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for wireless communications. A base station may transmit parameters for a configured grant and a dynamic grant. The parameters may indicate numbers of transmissions of transport blocks within a bundle of a configured grant and within a bundle of a dynamic grant. A wireless device may transmit a first transport block, within a bundle of a configured grant, a first number of times. The wireless device may transmit a second transport block, within a bundle of a dynamic grant, a second number of times.

Claims (77)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device and from a base station, one or more radio resource control messages indicating:

a second number of transmissions for a transport block within a bundle of a dynamic grant;

transmitting, within the bundle of the configured grant, a first transport block; and

causing, based on the first number of transmissions and based on the first RV pattern, one or more first retransmissions, within the bundle of the configured grant, of the first transport block.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising activating, after receiving the one or more radio resource control messages, the configured grant, wherein the configured grant is for one or more uplink transmissions of a configured grant Type 1.

receiving an uplink grant scheduling the first transport block; or

a quantity of total transmissions of the first transport block being equal to the first number.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more first retransmissions comprise one or more hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) retransmissions.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configured grant comprises at least one uplink radio resource.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving an indication of the dynamic grant;

causing, based on the second number of transmissions and based on a second RV pattern, one or more second retransmissions, within the bundle of the dynamic grant, of the second transport block.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising terminating the one or more second retransmissions of the second transport block, based on a quantity of total transmissions of the second transport block being equal to the second number.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the indication of the dynamic grant further comprises the second RV pattern.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more first retransmissions, within the bundle of the configured grant, are triggered without waiting for feedback from the transmitting the first transport block.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bundle of the configured grant comprises a transmission time interval (TTI) bundle.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more radio resource control messages further indicate:

a first parameter enabling transmission time interval (TTI) bundling for the configured grant; and

a second parameter enabling TTI bundling for the dynamic grant.

13. 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, one or more radio resource control messages indicating:

a first number of transmissions for a transport block within a bundle of a configured grant;

a first redundancy version (RV) pattern for the first number of transmissions; and

a second number of transmissions for a transport block within a bundle of a dynamic grant;

transmit, within the bundle of the configured grant, a first transport block; and

cause, based on the first number of transmissions and based on the first RV pattern, one or more first retransmissions, within the bundle of the configured grant, of the first transport block.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to activate, after receiving the one or more radio resource control messages, the configured grant, wherein the configured grant is for one or more uplink transmissions of a configured grant Type 1.

15. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to activate, after receiving a control message transmitted via a physical downlink control channel, the configured grant, wherein the configured grant is for one or more uplink transmissions of a configured grant Type 2.

16. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to terminate the one or more first retransmissions of the first transport block based on one or more of:

receiving an uplink grant scheduling the first transport block; or

a quantity of total transmissions of the first transport block being equal to the first number.

17. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the one or more first retransmissions comprise one or more hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) retransmissions.

18. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the configured grant comprises at least one uplink radio resource.

19. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive an indication of the dynamic grant;

transmit, within the bundle of the dynamic grant, a second transport block; and

cause, based on the second number of transmissions and based on a second RV pattern, one or more second retransmissions, within the bundle of the dynamic grant, of the second transport block.

20.
