Abstract
A hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process for cells configurable for multiple uplink grants is provided. A new rule to define the HARQ process identifiers (IDs) for configured grant is introduced, in cases when multiple configured grant configurations are used. In some embodiments, a method performed by a wireless device for a HARQ process in a cell configurable for multiple configured uplink grants is provided. The method comprises receiving an uplink grant comprising a HARQ process ID; determining that a HARQ process associated with the HARQ process ID is configured for a configured uplink grant based on a HARQ process ID offset; and starting or restarting a configured grant timer for the HARQ process. Selectively starting the configured grant timer depending on whether an identified HARQ process belongs to one of the multiple configured grant configurations, enables the gNB flexibility to schedule retransmissions or not.
