Abstract
Provided is a method of operating a wireless device in a communication network. Operations corresponding to the method include receiving (510) a scheduling message that includes a schedule identifying multiple transmission blocks, TBs. Operations further include dynamically generating (530) an acknowledgement timer value that corresponds to the TBs.
Claims26
A method of operating a wireless device in a communication network, the method comprising:
- receiving a scheduling message that includes a schedule identifying a plurality of transmission blocks (TBs);
- and
- dynamically generating an acknowledgement timer value that is based on the number of TBs of the plurality of TBs, wherein the acknowledgement timer value comprises a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Round Trip Time (HARQ RTT) timer value that is generated as 7+I*N in which N is a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) repetition factor and I is the number of the TBs of the plurality of TBs identified in the scheduling message.
A wireless device comprising:
- processing circuitry;
- and
- memory coupled with the processing circuitry, wherein the memory includes instructions that when executed by the processing circuitry causes the wireless device to:
- receive a scheduling message that includes a schedule identifying a plurality of transmission blocks (TBs);
- and
- dynamically generate an acknowledgement timer value that is based on the number of TBs of the plurality of TBs, wherein the acknowledgement timer value comprises a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Round Trip Time (HARQ RTT) timer value that is generated as 7+I*N in which N is a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) repetition factor and I is the number of the TBs of the plurality of TBs identified in the scheduling message.
A method of operating a radio access network node (RAN) in a communication network, the method comprising:
- sending, to a wireless device, a scheduling message that includes a schedule identifying a plurality of transmission blocks (TBs), and that causes the wireless device to dynamically generate an acknowledgement timer value that is based on the number of the TBs of the plurality of TBs, wherein the acknowledgement timer value comprises a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Round Trip Time (HARQ RTT) timer value that is generated as 7+I*N in which N is a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) repetition factor and I is the number of the TBs of the plurality of TBs identified in the scheduling message.
A radio access network (RAN) node, comprising:
- processing circuitry;
- and
- memory coupled with the processing circuitry, wherein the memory includes instructions that when executed by the processing circuitry causes the RAN node to send, to a wireless device, a scheduling message that includes a schedule identifying a plurality of transmission blocks (TBs) and that causes the wireless device to dynamically generate an acknowledgement timer value that is based on the number of TBs of the plurality of TBs, wherein the acknowledgement timer value comprises a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Round Trip Time (HARQ RTT) timer value that is generated as 7+I*N in which N is a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) repetition factor and I is the number of the TBs of the plurality of TBs identified in the scheduling message.
