Abstract

A wireless device receives a radio resource control (RRC) release message indicating a small data transmission (SDT) time window for an SDT in an RRC inactive state. The wireless device transmits, during the SDT time window, an initial uplink transmission using a first power control adjustment (PCA) state being reset to zero. The wireless device transmits, using a second PCA state, a second uplink transmission. In response to the second uplink transmission being subsequent to the initial uplink transmission during the SDT time window, the second PCA state is based on the first PCA state and one or more transmit power control command values received during the SDT time window.

Claims (40)

1. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the wireless device to:

receive a radio resource control (RRC) release message indicating a small data transmission (SDT) time window for an SDT in an RRC inactive state;

transmit, during the SDT time window, an initial uplink transmission using a first power control adjustment (PCA) state being reset to zero; and

transmit, using a second PCA state, a second uplink transmission, wherein, in response to the second uplink transmission being subsequent to the initial uplink transmission during the SDT time window, the second PCA state is based on:

the first PCA state; and

one or more transmit power control command values received during the SDT time window.

2. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the RRC release message further indicates one or more configured uplink grants for the SDT in the RRC inactive state.

3. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to start the SDT time window based on initiating the SDT.

4. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the initial uplink transmission is via a first configured uplink grant of one or more configured uplink grants.

5. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the second uplink transmission is via a second configured uplink grant of one or more configured uplink grants.

6. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein:

the initial uplink transmission is a new transmission of a first transport block; and

the second uplink transmission is a new transmission of a second transport block.

7. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to determine a transmission power, for transmitting the second uplink transmission, based on the first PCA state and the one or more transmit power control command values.

8. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:

monitor, during the SDT time window, a downlink control channel; and

receive, via the downlink control channel and during the SDT, one or more uplink grants comprising the one or more transmit power control command values.

9. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more uplink grants comprise one or more dynamic grants.

10. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein a transmission power of the second uplink transmission comprises a sum of the first PCA state and the one or more transmit power control command values.

11. 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 a radio resource control (RRC) release message indicating a small data transmission (SDT) time window for an SDT in an RRC inactive state;

transmit, during the SDT time window, an initial uplink transmission using a first power control adjustment (PCA) state being reset to zero; and

transmit, using a second PCA state, a second uplink transmission, wherein, in response to the second uplink transmission being subsequent to the initial uplink transmission during the SDT time window, the second PCA state is based on:

the first PCA state; and

one or more transmit power control command values received during the SDT time window.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the RRC release message further indicates one or more configured uplink grants for the SDT in the RRC inactive state.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to start the SDT time window based on initiating the SDT.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein transmitting the initial uplink transmission is via a first configured uplink grant of one or more configured uplink grants.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein transmitting the second uplink transmission is via a second configured uplink grant of one or more configured uplink grants.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein:

the initial uplink transmission is a new transmission of a first transport block; and

the second uplink transmission is a new transmission of a second transport block.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to determine a transmission power, for transmitting the second uplink transmission, based on the first PCA state and the one or more transmit power control command values.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:

monitor, during the SDT time window, a downlink control channel; and

receive, via the downlink control channel and during the SDT, one or more uplink grants comprising the one or more transmit power control command values.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the one or more uplink grants comprise one or more dynamic grants.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein a transmission power of the second uplink transmission comprises a sum of the first PCA state and the one or more transmit power control command values.
