Abstract

A wireless device may receive a first TB associated with a first HARQ process number. The wireless device may determine to defer a first HARQ feedback, associated with the first TB, from a first timing to a second timing. The wireless device may receive, in a third timing, a second TB associated with the first HARQ process number. The wireless device may transmit the first HARQ feedback in the second timing or may drop the first HARQ feedback based on the second timing and the third timing.

Claims (42)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, a first transport block (TB) associated with a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process number;

determining to defer a first HARQ feedback, associated with the first TB, from a first timing to a second timing;

receiving, in a third timing, a second TB associated with the first HARQ process number; and

transmitting the first HARQ feedback in the second timing or dropping the first HARQ feedback based on the second timing and the third timing.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining to defer the first HARQ feedback is based on the first timing overlapping with a symbol that:

is a downlink symbol based on a semi-static configuration; or

is associated with a synchronization signal block; or

belongs to a control resource set (CORESET) associated with a common search space that is used in receiving system information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first TB and the second TB is associated with a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising receiving configuration parameters of the SPS configuration.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second timing is an earliest timing, after the first timing, not overlapping with a symbol that:

is a downlink symbol based on a semi-static configuration; or

is associated with a synchronization signal block; or

belongs to a control resource set (CORESET) associated with a common search space that is used in receiving system information.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first timing is based on a value of a field of a downlink control information (DCI).

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the first HARQ feedback in the second timing or the dropping the first HARQ feedback is based on the second timing and the third timing in response to the first HARQ feedback being a deferred HARQ feedback.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the first HARQ feedback in the second timing or the dropping the first HARQ feedback is based on a time difference between the second timing and the third timing.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third timing is prior to the second timing.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the first HARQ feedback in the second timing or the dropping the first HARQ feedback is based on a processing time.

11. 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 transport block (TB) associated with a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process number;

determine to defer a first HARQ feedback, associated with the first TB, from a first timing to a second timing;

receive, in a third timing, a second TB associated with the first HARQ process number; and

transmit the first HARQ feedback in the second timing or drop the first HARQ feedback based on the second timing and the third timing.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein determining to defer the first HARQ feedback is based on the first timing overlapping with a symbol that:

is a downlink symbol based on a semi-static configuration; or

is associated with a synchronization signal block; or

belongs to a control resource set (CORESET) associated with a common search space that is used in receiving system information.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein at least one of the first TB and the second TB is associated with a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive configuration parameters of the SPS configuration.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the second timing is an earliest timing, after the first timing, not overlapping with a symbol that:

is a downlink symbol based on a semi-static configuration; or

is associated with a synchronization signal block; or

belongs to a control resource set (CORESET) associated with a common search space that is used in receiving system information.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first timing is based on a value of a field of a downlink control information (DCI).

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein transmitting the first HARQ feedback in the second timing or dropping the first HARQ feedback is based on the second timing and the third timing in response to the first HARQ feedback being a deferred HARQ feedback.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein transmitting the first HARQ feedback in the second timing or dropping the first HARQ feedback is based on a time difference between the second timing and the third timing.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the third timing is prior to the second timing.

20. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein transmitting the first HARQ feedback in the second timing or dropping the first HARQ feedback is based on a processing time.
