Abstract
A method for handling DL and UL HARQ transmissions for a UE. The method includes performing a first HARQ transmission including information related to a single HARQ process to the UE with an associated new data indicator, NDI. Toggling of the NDI indicates at least a change of information of the single HARQ process over a previous HARQ transmission and the first HARQ transmission moreover starting a C-DRX inactivity timer, and determining that a HARQ NACK has been received for the transmitted information from the UE. The method includes detecting a measurement gap has started and awaiting an end of the measurement gap. If the C-DRX inactivity timer has not expired at a time where the measurement gap has ended, then performing a second HARQ transmission of the information, with associated NDI to the UE for the single HARQ process. The value of the NDI is toggled in relation to a value of the NDI of the first HARQ transmission.
