Abstract
A wireless device may receive configuration information for a plurality of periodic resource allocations. A downlink control information (DCI) may be received comprising an indication of activation or release of at least one periodic resource allocation of the plurality of periodic resource allocations. After receiving the DCI, a medium access control (MAC) subheader comprising a logical channel identifier (LCID) that identifies a confirmation MAC control element may be sent. The confirmation MAC control element may comprise a plurality of fields, and at least one of the plurality of fields may indicate receipt of the indication of activation or release by using a same value to indicate either the activation or the release.
Claims56
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless device, configuration information for a plurality of resource allocations;
- receiving downlink control information (DCI) that comprises an indication of activation or release of at least one resource allocation of the plurality of resource allocations;
- and
- sending, after receiving the DCI:
- a medium access control (MAC) subheader comprising a logical channel identifier (LCD) that identifies a confirmation MAC control element;
- and
- the confirmation MAC control element comprising a plurality of fields, wherein at least one of the plurality of fields indicates receipt of the indication of activation or release by using a same value to indicate either the activation or the release.
A wireless device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:
- receive configuration information for a plurality of resource allocations;
- receive downlink control information (DCI) that comprises an indication of activation or release of at least one resource allocation of the plurality of resource allocations;
- and
- send, after receiving the DCI:
- a medium access control (MAC) subheader comprising a logical channel identifier (LCID) that identifies a confirmation MAC control element;
- and
- the confirmation MAC control element comprising a plurality of fields, wherein at least one of the plurality of fields indicates receipt of the indication of activation or release by using a same value to indicate either the activation or the release.
A method comprising:
- sending, by a base station, configuration information for a plurality of resource allocations;
- sending downlink control information (DCI) that comprises an indication of activation or release of at least one resource allocation of the plurality of resource allocations;
- and
- receiving, after sending the DCI:
- a medium access control (MAC) subheader comprising a logical channel identifier (LCD) that identifies a confirmation MAC control element;
- and
- the confirmation MAC control element comprising a plurality of fields, wherein at least one field of the plurality of fields indicates receipt of the indication of activation or release by using a same value to indicate either the activation or the release.
A base station comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to:
- send configuration information for a plurality of resource allocations;
- send downlink control information (DCI) that comprises an indication of activation or release of at least one resource allocation of the plurality of resource allocations;
- and
- receive, after sending the DCI:
- a medium access control (MAC) subheader comprising a logical channel identifier (LCID) that identifies a confirmation MAC control element;
- and
- the confirmation MAC control element comprising a plurality of fields, wherein at least one of the plurality of fields indicates receipt of the indication of activation or release by using a same value to indicate either the activation or the release.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a wireless device to:
- receive configuration information for a plurality of resource allocations;
- receive downlink control information (DCI) that comprises an indication of activation or release of at least one resource allocation of the plurality of resource allocations;
- and
- send, after receiving the DCI:
- a medium access control (MAC) subheader comprising a logical channel identifier (LCD) that identifies a confirmation MAC control element;
- and
- the confirmation MAC control element comprising a plurality of fields, wherein at least one of the plurality of fields indicates receipt of the indication of activation or release by using a same value to indicate either the activation or the release.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a base station to:
- send configuration information for a plurality of resource allocations;
- send downlink control information (DCI) that comprises an indication of activation or release of at least one resource allocation of the plurality of resource allocations;
- and
- receive, after sending the DCI:
- a medium access control (MAC) subheader comprising a logical channel identifier (LCD) that identifies a confirmation MAC control element;
- and
- the confirmation MAC control element comprising a plurality of fields, wherein at least one of the plurality of fields indicates receipt of the indication of activation or release by using a same value to indicate either the activation or the release.
A system comprising:
- a base station;
- and
- a wireless device,
- wherein the wireless device comprises:
- one or more first processors;
- and
- first memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the wireless device to:
- receive, from the base station, configuration information for a plurality of resource allocations;
- receive downlink control information (DCI) that comprises an indication of activation or release of at least one resource allocation of the plurality of resource allocations;
- and
- send, after receiving the DCI:
- a medium access control (MAC) subheader comprising a logical channel identifier (LCD) that identifies a confirmation MAC control element;
- and
- the confirmation MAC control element comprising a plurality of fields, wherein at least one of the plurality of fields indicates receipt of the indication of activation or release by using a same value to indicate either the activation or the release, and
- wherein the base station comprises:
- one or more second processors;
- and
- second memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the base station to:
- send the configuration information for the plurality of resource allocations.
