Abstract

A wireless device receives a first configuration parameter indicating whether data of a logical channel is allowed to be transmitted using a configured grant of type 1 and a second configuration parameter indicating whether data of the logical channel is allowed to be transmitted using a configured grant of type 1 while in RRC inactive state. The wireless device may transmit or not transmit data of the logical channel while in RRC connected state and while in RRC inactive state using configured grants of type 1 based on the configuration parameters.

Claims (48)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device:

a first radio resource control (RRC) configuration parameter indicating whether data of a first logical channel is allowed to be transmitted based on a configured grant of type 1; and

a second RRC configuration parameters indicating whether data of the first logical channel is allowed to be transmitted based on a configured grant of type 1 while the wireless device is in an RRC inactive state;

wherein:

the type 1 is one of a plurality of configured grant types; and

the first RRC configuration parameter and the second RRC configuration parameter are specific to configured grants of type 1;

transmitting, while in an RRC connected state, data of the first logical channel based on:

a first configured grant of type 1; and

the first RRC configuration parameter indicating that data of the first logical channel is allowed to be transmitted based on a configured grant of type 1; and

transmitting, while in the RRC inactive state, data of the first logical channel based on:

a second configured grant of type 1; and

the second RRC configuration parameter indicating that data of the first logical channel is allowed to be transmitted based on a configured grant of type 1 while the wireless device is in the RRC inactive state.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving an RRC release message indicating transitioning of the wireless device from the RRC connected state to the RRC inactive state.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the RRC release message comprises one or more third configuration parameters for uplink data transmission while the wireless device is in the RRC inactive state.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the transmitting, while in the RRC inactive state, the data of the first logical channel is based on the one or more third configuration parameters.

5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising starting a time alignment timer with a time alignment timer value, wherein the one or more third configuration parameters indicate the time alignment timer value.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the transmitting, while in the RRC inactive state, the data of the first logical channel is based on the time alignment timer running.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting, while in the RRC inactive state, the data of the first logical channel is based on a timing advance value.

8. 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:

a first radio resource control (RRC) configuration parameter indicating whether data of a first logical channel is allowed to be transmitted based on a configured grant of type 1; and

a second RRC configuration parameters indicating whether data of the first logical channel is allowed to be transmitted based on a configured grant of type 1 while the wireless device is in an RRC inactive state;

wherein:

the type 1 is one of a plurality of configured grant types; and

the first RRC configuration parameter and the second RRC configuration parameter are specific to configured grants of type 1;

transmit, while in an RRC connected state, data of the first logical channel based on:

a first configured grant of type 1; and

the first RRC configuration parameter indicating that data of the first logical channel is allowed to be transmitted based on a configured grant of type 1; and

transmit, while in the RRC inactive state, data of the first logical channel based on:

a second configured grant of type 1; and

the second RRC configuration parameter indicating that data of the first logical channel is allowed to be transmitted based on a configured grant of type 1 while the wireless device is in the RRC inactive state.

9. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive an RRC release message indicating transitioning of the wireless device from the RRC connected state to the RRC inactive state.

10. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the RRC release message comprises one or more third configuration parameters for uplink data transmission while the wireless device is in the RRC inactive state.

11. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein transmitting, while in the RRC inactive state, the data of the first logical channel is based on the one or more third configuration parameters.

12. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to start a time alignment timer with a time alignment timer value, wherein the one or more third configuration parameters indicate the time alignment timer value.

13. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein transmitting, while in the RRC inactive state, the data of the first logical channel is based on the time alignment timer running.

14. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the transmitting, while in the RRC inactive state, the data of the first logical channel is based on a timing advance value.

15. 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: receive, from the base station: a first radio resource control (RRC) configuration parameter indicating whether data of a first logical channel is allowed to be transmitted based on a configured grant of type 1; and a second RRC configuration parameters indicating whether data of the first logical channel is allowed to be transmitted based on a configured grant of type 1 while the wireless device is in an RRC inactive state; wherein: the type 1 is one of a plurality of configured grant types; and the first RRC configuration parameter and the second RRC configuration parameter are specific to configured grants of type 1; transmit, while in an RRC connected state, data of the first logical channel based on: a first configured grant of type 1; and the first RRC configuration parameter indicating that data of the first logical channel is allowed to be transmitted based on a configured grant of type 1; and transmit, while in the RRC inactive state, data of the first logical channel based on: a second configured grant of type 1; and the second RRC configuration parameter indicating that data of the first logical channel is allowed to be transmitted based on a configured grant of type 1 while the wireless device is in the RRC inactive state.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive an RRC release message indicating transitioning of the wireless device from the RRC connected state to the RRC inactive state.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the RRC release message comprises one or more third configuration parameters for uplink data transmission while the wireless device is in the RRC inactive state.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein transmitting, while in the RRC inactive state, the data of the first logical channel is based on the one or more third configuration parameters.

19. The system of claim 17 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to start a time alignment timer with a time alignment timer value, wherein the one or more third configuration parameters indicate the time alignment timer value.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein transmitting, while in the RRC inactive state, the data of the first logical channel is based on the time alignment timer running.
