Abstract

A wireless device receives from a base station, first message(s) comprising configuration parameter(s) indicating: a timing offset and a symbol number identifying a resource of an uplink grant of a configured periodic grant of a first type; and a first periodicity of the configured periodic grant. The first periodicity indicates a time interval between two subsequent resources of the configured periodic grant. Transport block(s) are transmitted via the resource of the configured periodic grant. A second message indicating a request for transmission information associated with the configured periodic grant is received. A third message is transmitted, in response to the second message, indicating: a first value based on a number of transmissions via the resource associated with the configured periodic grant, and/or a second value based on a number of times that the wireless device received no corresponding acknowledgement from the base station in response to the transmissions.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method comprising:
receiving, by a wireless device from a base station, at least one first message comprising at least one configuration parameter indicating:
a timing offset and a symbol number that identify a resource of an uplink grant of a configured periodic grant of a first type; and
a first periodicity of the configured periodic grant of the first type, the first periodicity indicating a time interval between two subsequent resources of the configured periodic grant of the first type;
transmitting, via the resource of the configured periodic grant of the first type, one or more transport blocks; receiving a second message indicating a request for transmission information associated with the configured periodic grant of the first type; and transmitting, in response to the second message, a third message comprising one or more parameters indicating at least one of:
a first value based on a number of transmissions via the resource associated with the configured periodic grant of the first type; and
a second value based on a number of times that the wireless device received no corresponding acknowledgement from the base station in response to the transmissions.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one configuration parameter further indicates a duration determining the first value and the second value.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising activating the configured periodic grant of the first type:
to start from a first symbol based on:
the timing offset; and
the symbol number; and
to reoccur with the first periodicity.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining one or more symbols of the resource of the uplink grant of the configured periodic grant of the first type based on the timing offset, the symbol number, and the first periodicity.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters further indicates at least one of following:
a third value based on a number of times that the wireless device receives a positive or negative acknowledgement from the base station in response to the transmissions via the resource of the configured periodic grant of the first type; and a fourth value based on a number of collisions detected by the wireless device when the wireless device receives no acknowledgement from the base station in response to the transmissions via the configured periodic grant of the first type.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the third message further comprises an indicator that indicates whether the wireless device detects one or more collisions when the wireless device receives no acknowledgement from the base station in response to the transmissions via the configured periodic grant of the first type.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining a failure of transmitting the one or more transport blocks in response to receiving no corresponding response from the base station; and incrementing a counter by one in response to determining the failure.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first message comprises an identifier of the configured periodic grant of the first type.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second message further comprises the identifier of the configured periodic grant of the first type.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the third message further comprises the identifier of the configured periodic grant of the first type.

11 . A method comprising:
transmitting, by a base station to a wireless device, at least one first message comprising at least one configuration parameter indicating:
a timing offset and a symbol number that identify a resource of an uplink grant of a configured periodic grant of a first type; and
a first periodicity of the configured periodic grant of the first type, the first periodicity indicating a time interval between two subsequent resources of the configured periodic grant of the first type;
receiving, via the resource of the configured periodic grant of the first type, one or more transport blocks; transmitting a second message indicating a request for transmission information associated with the configured periodic grant of the first type; and receiving, in response to the second message, a third message comprising one or more parameters indicating at least one of:
a first value based on a number of transmissions via the resource associated with the configured periodic grant of the first type; and
a second value based on a number of times that the wireless device received no corresponding acknowledgement from the base station in response to the transmissions.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the at least one configuration parameter further indicates a duration determining the first value and the second value.

13 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising activating the configured periodic grant of the first type:
to start from a first symbol based on:
the timing offset; and
the symbol number; and
to reoccur with the first periodicity.

14 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising determining one or more symbols of the resource of the uplink grant of the configured periodic grant of the first type based on the timing offset, the symbol number, and the first periodicity.

15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the one or more parameters further indicates at least one of following:
a third value based on a number of times that the wireless device receives a positive or negative acknowledgement from the base station in response to the transmissions via the resource of the configured periodic grant of the first type; and a fourth value based on a number of collisions detected by the wireless device when the wireless device receives no acknowledgement from the base station in response to the transmissions via the configured periodic grant of the first type.

16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the third message further comprises an indicator that indicates whether the wireless device detects one or more collisions when the wireless device receives no acknowledgement from the base station in response to the transmissions via the configured periodic grant of the first type.

17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the at least one configuration parameter further comprises a power offset value determining a transmit power for a transmission of the one or more transport blocks.

18 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the at least one first message comprises an identifier of the configured periodic grant of the first type.

19 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the second message further comprises the identifier of the configured periodic grant of the first type.

20 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the third message further comprises the identifier of the configured periodic grant of the first type.
