Abstract

A wireless device receives a configured grant (CG) configuration indicating: a period of the CG configuration, and a number of consecutive slots for transmission occasions within the period. The wireless device transmits uplink data, via a transmission occasion of the transmission occasions. A hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process index (ID) for transmission of the uplink data is based on: the number of consecutive slots for the transmission occasions within the period, and an offset for the transmission occasion of the transmission occasions within the period. The offset is based on an order of the transmission occasion among the transmission occasions within the period.

Claims (58)

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 a configured grant (CG) configuration indicating:

a period of the CG configuration; and

a number of consecutive slots for transmission occasions within the period; and

transmit uplink data, via a transmission occasion of the transmission occasions, wherein a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process index (ID) for transmission of the uplink data is based on:

the number of consecutive slots for the transmission occasions within the period; and

an offset for the transmission occasion of the transmission occasions within the period, wherein the offset is based on an order of the transmission occasion among the transmission occasions within the period.

2. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the HARQ process ID is associated with a first symbol of the transmission of the uplink data.

3. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the HARQ process ID is congruent modulo with a number of HARQ processes indicated by the CG configuration.

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

determine not to transmit in a second transmission occasion of the transmission occasions within the period based on one or more criteria; and

not increment, based on determining not to transmit in the second transmission occasion, the HARQ process ID.

5. The wireless device of claim 4 , wherein the one or more criteria comprises at least one of:

the second transmission occasion colliding with a downlink (DL) symbol indicated by a time division duplex (TDD) common configuration or a TDD dedicated configuration; or

the second transmission occasion colliding with a symbol of a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SSB) with an index provided by an SSB configuration.

6. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the offset is based on a K-th transmission occasion of the transmission occasions within the period.

7. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the HARQ process ID is determined in response to the CG configuration indicating multiple-physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) CGs in the period.

8. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the CG configuration comprises:

a first parameter indicating the period of the CG configuration; and

a second parameter indicating the number of consecutive slots for the transmission occasions within the period.

9. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein:

the transmission occasion occurs earliest within the period among the transmission occasions; and

a value of the offset for the transmission occasion is zero.

10. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein a third value of the offset, for a third transmission occasion occurs after a second transmission occasion within the period, is based on incrementing, by one, a second value of the offset for the second transmission occasion.

11. A base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to:

transmit, to a wireless device, a configured grant (CG) configuration indicating:

a period of the CG configuration; and

a number of consecutive slots for transmission occasions within the period; and

receive uplink data, via a transmission occasion of the transmission occasions, wherein a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process index (ID) for transmission of the uplink data is based on:

the number of consecutive slots for the transmission occasions within the period; and

an offset for the transmission occasion of the transmission occasions within the period, wherein the offset is based on an order of the transmission occasion among the transmission occasions within the period.

12. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the HARQ process ID is associated with a first symbol of the transmission of the uplink data.

13. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the HARQ process ID is congruent modulo with a number of HARQ processes indicated by the CG configuration.

14. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to:

determine not to receive in a second transmission occasion of the transmission occasions within the period based on one or more criteria; and

not increment, based on determining not to receive in the second transmission occasion, the HARQ process ID.

15. The base station of claim 14 , wherein the one or more criteria comprises at least one of:

the second transmission occasion colliding with a downlink (DL) symbol indicated by a time division duplex (TDD) common configuration or a TDD dedicated configuration; or

the second transmission occasion colliding with a symbol of a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SSB) with an index provided by an SSB configuration.

16. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the offset is based on a K-th transmission occasion of the transmission occasions within the period.

17. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the HARQ process ID is based on the CG configuration indicating multiple-physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) CGs in the period.

18. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the CG configuration comprises:

a first parameter indicating the period of the CG configuration; and

a second parameter indicating the number of consecutive slots for the transmission occasions within the period.

19. The base station of claim 11 , wherein:

the transmission occasion occurs earliest within the period among the transmission occasions; and

a value of the offset for the transmission occasion is zero.

20. 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 configured grant (CG) configuration indicating:

a period of the CG configuration; and

a number of consecutive slots for transmission occasions within the period; and

transmit uplink data, via a transmission occasion of the transmission occasions, wherein a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process index (ID) for transmission of the uplink data is based on:

the number of consecutive slots for the transmission occasions within the period; and

an offset for the transmission occasion of the transmission occasions within the period, wherein the offset is based on an order of the transmission occasion among the transmission occasions within the period.
