Abstract

Systems and methods for handling transmissions and retransmissions on a periodic preconfigured uplink resource (PUR) are provided. Respective resources for transmission and retransmission can be determined and configured for a wireless device to prevent blocking of a new data transmission on a PUR opportunity by a retransmission attempt. Responsive to determining that a first transmission on the PUR was unsuccessful, a second resource can be configured for the retransmission.

Claims (30)

1. A method performed by a wireless device, comprising:

configuring the wireless device with a periodic first preconfigured uplink resource (PUR) for data transmission;

determining that a first transmission on the configured first PUR was unsuccessful;

receiving dynamic scheduling information indicating to retransmit the unsuccessful first transmission on a second resource, wherein the second resource is one of a non-PUR resource and a PUR resource other than the configured periodic first PUR, and wherein the second resource does not block a time-frequency resource of the configured periodic first PUR; and

retransmitting the first transmission on the second resource.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first PUR configuration includes at least one of a PUR transmission length and a PUR period.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the PUR period defines a duration between subsequent transmission opportunities.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the periodic first PUR is configured by radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

5. A wireless device comprising a radio interface and processing circuitry configured to:

configure the wireless device with a periodic first preconfigured uplink resource (PUR) for data transmission;

determine that a first transmission on the configured first PUR was unsuccessful;

receive dynamic scheduling information indicating to retransmit the unsuccessful first transmission on a second resource, wherein the second resource is one of a non-PUR resource and a PUR resource other than the configured periodic first PUR, and wherein the second resource does not block a time-frequency resource of the configured periodic first PUR; and

retransmit the first transmission on the second resource.

6. The wireless device of claim 5 , wherein the first PUR configuration includes at least one of a PUR transmission length and a PUR period.

7. The wireless device of claim 6 , wherein the PUR period defines a duration between subsequent transmission opportunities.

8. The wireless device of claim 5 , wherein the periodic first PUR is configured by RRC signaling.

9. A method performed by a network node, comprising:

configuring a wireless device with a periodic first preconfigured uplink resource (PUR) for data transmission;

responsive to determining that a first transmission on the first PUR was unsuccessful, transmitting dynamic scheduling information indicating to retransmit the unsuccessful first transmission on a second resource, wherein the second resource is one of a non-PUR resource and a PUR resource other than the configured periodic first PUR, and wherein the second resource does not block a time-frequency resource of the configured periodic first PUR; and

receiving the first transmission on the second resource.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first PUR configuration includes at least one of a PUR transmission length and a PUR period.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the PUR period defines a duration between subsequent transmission opportunities.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the periodic first PUR is configured by RRC signaling.

13. A network node comprising a radio interface and processing circuitry configured to:

configure a wireless device with a periodic first preconfigured uplink resource (PUR) for data transmission;

responsive to determining that a first transmission on the first PUR was unsuccessful, transmit dynamic scheduling information indicating to retransmit the unsuccessful first transmission on a second resource, wherein the second resource is one of a non-PUR resource and a PUR resource other than the configured periodic first PUR, and wherein the second resource does not block a time-frequency resource of the configured periodic first PUR; and

receive the first transmission on the second resource.

14. The network node of claim 13 , wherein the first PUR configuration includes at least one of a PUR transmission length and a PUR period.

15. The network node of claim 14 , wherein the PUR period defines a duration between subsequent transmission opportunities.

16. The network node of claim 13 , wherein the periodic first PUR is configured by RRC signaling.
