Abstract
A wireless device receives an uplink grant indicating radio resources in consecutive time intervals. A respective packet is stored for each time interval of the consecutive time intervals. in response to determining that the wireless device cannot access a channel for a transmission in a first time interval of the consecutive time intervals: the respective packet stored for the first time interval is not transmitted; and a listen-before-talk procedure indicating that the channel is clear in a second time interval subsequent to the first time interval is performed. The respective packet stored for each time interval of the time intervals is transmitted via time intervals starting from the second time interval to a last time interval of the consecutive time intervals.

A method comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless device, an uplink grant indicating radio resources in m consecutive subframes 0 to m−1, where m is two or more;
- storing, for each subframe of the m consecutive subframes, a respective packet;
- in response to determining that the wireless device cannot access a channel for a transmission in subframe k, kϵ{0, . . . , m−2}:
- not transmitting the respective packet stored for subframe k;
- and
- performing a listen-before-talk procedure indicating that the channel is clear in subframe k+1;
- and
- transmitting, via subframes k+1 to m−1, the respective packet stored for each subframe of subframes k+1 to m−1.
