Abstract

According to some embodiments, a method performed by a wireless device for transmitting a transport block comprises obtaining a first uplink aggregation factor. The first uplink aggregation factor is an integer value greater than one. The method further comprises obtaining a second uplink aggregation factor. The second uplink aggregation factor is an integer value greater than one and is different than the first uplink aggregation factor. The method further comprises: determining that a transport block is associated with a type of radio network temporary identifier (RNTI); selecting one of the first or second uplink aggregation factor based on the type of RNTI associated with the transport block; and transmitting the transport block on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) according to the selected uplink aggregation factor.
