Abstract

A wireless device receives, during a discontinuous reception (DRX) active time of a DRX operation of the wireless device, a response to a message that comprises a preamble and a transport block. The DRX active time is determined based on a time window that starts at least one symbol after a transmission occasion of the transport block.

Claims (30)

1. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a wireless device, a Message A comprising a preamble and a transport block; and

receiving, during a discontinuous reception (DRX) active time of a DRX operation of the wireless device, a response to the Message A, wherein the DRX active time is based on a time window, for receiving the response to the Message A, that starts at least one symbol after a transmission occasion of the transport block.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transport block indicates a wireless device identity.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining that the DRX operation is in the DRX active time based on the time window running.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising stopping the time window in response to receiving the response.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the time window starts from a first symbol of a control resource set of the wireless device that is the at least one symbol after the transmission occasion.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the Message A is for a two-step random access procedure.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transport block comprises a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) medium access control control element (MAC CE) indicating a C-RNTI of the wireless device.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the C-RNTI indicates an identity of the wireless device.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising monitoring, for the response and based on the transport block comprising the C-RNTI MAC CE, one or more downlink control channels using the C-RNTI.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the response is a downlink control information (DCI) addressed to the C-RNTI.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising determining that a two-step random access procedure completes successfully based on the DCI being addressed to the C-RNTI.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising monitoring one or more downlink control channels for the response using a Message B radio network temporary identifier.

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:

transmit a Message A comprising a preamble and a transport block; and

receive, during a discontinuous reception (DRX) active time of a DRX operation of the wireless device, a response to the Message A, wherein the DRX active time is based on a time window, for receiving the response to the Message A, that starts at least one symbol after a transmission occasion of the transport block.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the transport block indicates a wireless device identity.

15. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to determine that the DRX operation is in the DRX active time based on the time window running.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to stop the time window in response to receiving the response.

17. The wireless device of claim 16 , wherein the time window starts from a first symbol of a control resource set of the wireless device that is the at least one symbol after the transmission occasion.

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

monitor, for the response and based on the transport block comprising a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) medium access control control element (MAC CE) indicating a C-RNTI of the wireless device, one or more downlink control channels using the C-RNTI, wherein the response is a downlink control information (DCI) addressed to the C-RNTI; and

determine that a two-step random access procedure completes successfully based on the DCI being addressed to the C-RNTI.

19. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to monitor one or more downlink control channels for the response using a Message B radio network temporary identifier.

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

transmit a Message A comprising a preamble and a transport block; and

receive, during a discontinuous reception (DRX) active time of a DRX operation of the wireless device, a response to the Message A, wherein the DRX active time is based on a time window, for receiving the response to the Message A, that starts at least one symbol after a transmission occasion of the transport block.
