Abstract

A user equipment (UE) in idle mode may use a preconfigured uplink resource for transmission, retransmission, and/or hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ). For example, the UE may store configuration data for a preconfigured uplink resource and a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) for idle mode communication. In idle mode, the UE generates an uplink transmission using the preconfigured uplink resource. After the uplink transmission, the UE starts a retransmission timer, and monitors physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with the RNTI provided in the configuration data for HARQ acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK).
