Abstract

A wireless device comprises one or more processors and memory storing instructions, When executed by the one or more processors, the instructions cause the wireless device to receive one or more messages comprising an uplink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) round-trip-time (RTT) timer value expressed in units of symbols and an uplink discontinuous reception (DRX) retransmission timer value expressed in units of slot lengths, transmit a transport block via an uplink data channel, start an uplink HARQ RTT timer with the uplink HARQ RTT timer value in response to transmitting the transport block, start an uplink DRX retransmission timer with the uplink DRX retransmission timer value in response to the uplink HARQ RTT timer expiring, monitor a downlink control channel while the uplink DRX retransmission timer is running.

Claims (46)

1. 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 one or more radio resource control messages comprising an uplink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) round-trip-time (RTT) timer value expressed in units of symbols and an uplink discontinuous reception (DRX) retransmission timer value expressed in units of slot lengths;

transmit a transport block via an uplink data channel;

start an uplink HARQ RTT timer with the uplink HARQ RTT timer value in response to transmitting the transport block, wherein the uplink HARQ RTT timer value indicates a first number of symbols;

start an uplink DRX retransmission timer with the uplink DRX retransmission timer value in response to the uplink HARQ RTT timer expiring, wherein the uplink DRX retransmission timer value indicates a second number of slot lengths; and

monitor a downlink control channel while the uplink DRX retransmission timer is running.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the symbols correspond to first symbols of the uplink data channel.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the slot lengths correspond to first slot lengths of the uplink data channel.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the instructions that when executed by the one or more processor cause the wireless device to receive a downlink control information comprising transmission parameters of the transport block.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the instructions that when executed by the one or more processor cause the wireless device to receive a downlink control information comprising transmission parameters of the transport block.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the instructions that when executed by the one or more processor cause the wireless device to receive a downlink control information comprising transmission parameters of the transport block.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein:

the one or more radio resource control messages further comprise configuration parameters of a first cell and a second cell;

the downlink control information is received via the first cell; and

the transport block is transmitted via the second cell.

8. The method of claim 4 , wherein:

the one or more radio resource control messages further comprise configuration parameters of a first cell;

the downlink control information is received via the first cell; and

the transport block is transmitted via the first cell.

9. The method of claim 4 , wherein:

the downlink control information indicates a HARQ process for the transport block; and

the uplink HARQ RTT timer and the uplink DRX retransmission timer are associated with the HARQ process.

10. The method of claim 4 , wherein the downlink control information indicates a numerology of the uplink data channel.

11. The method of claim 4 , wherein the instructions that when executed by the one or more processor cause the wireless device to receive a second downlink control information indicating retransmission of the transport block.

12. The method of claim 5 , wherein:

the one or more radio resource control messages further comprise configuration parameters of a first cell and a second cell;

the downlink control information is received via the first cell; and

the transport block is transmitted via the second cell.

13. The method of claim 5 , wherein:

the one or more radio resource control messages further comprise configuration parameters of a first cell;

the downlink control information is received via the first cell; and

the transport block is transmitted via the first cell.

14. The method of claim 5 , wherein:

the downlink control information indicates a HARQ process for the transport block; and

the uplink HARQ RTT timer and the uplink DRX retransmission timer are associated with the HARQ process.

15. The method of claim 5 , wherein the downlink control information indicates a numerology of the uplink data channel.

16. The method of claim 5 , wherein the instructions that when executed by the one or more processor cause the wireless device to receive a second downlink control information indicating retransmission of the transport block.

17. The method of claim 6 , wherein:

the one or more radio resource control messages further comprise configuration parameters of a first cell and a second cell;

the downlink control information is received via the first cell; and

the transport block is transmitted via the second cell.

18. The method of claim 6 , wherein:

the downlink control information indicates a HARQ process for the transport block; and

the uplink HARQ RTT timer and the uplink DRX retransmission timer are associated with the HARQ process.

19. The method of claim 6 , wherein the downlink control information indicates a numerology of the uplink data channel.

20. The method of claim 6 , wherein the instructions that when executed by the one or more processor cause the wireless device to receive a second downlink control information indicating retransmission of the transport block.
