Techniques for determining a feedback identifier in an inactive communication period

A second network entity for wireless communication, comprising:

• a processing system configured to:
• output, to a first network entity, a configuration to communicate with the second network entity, wherein the configuration indicates a plurality of discontinuous active time periods for the second network entity and a plurality of discontinuous inactive time periods for the second network entity;
• output a configuration of a plurality of configured grant transmission occasions for uplink communications by the first network entity;
• output an indication to reactivate a first configured grant transmission occasion of the plurality of configured grant transmission occasions, the first configured grant transmission occasion scheduled as an invalid occasion due to overlap with a first discontinuous inactive time period of the plurality of discontinuous inactive time periods;
• increment a value for a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifier corresponding to the first configured grant transmission occasion based on a time difference between output of the indication and the first configured grant transmission occasion satisfying a threshold;
• and
• communicate with the first network entity during a second configured grant transmission occasion in accordance with the HARQ process identifier, wherein the HARQ process identifier is based on the first configured grant transmission occasion.

A method of wireless communications performed by a first network entity, comprising:

• receiving a configuration for communicating with a second network entity, wherein the configuration indicates a plurality of discontinuous active time periods for the second network entity and a plurality of discontinuous inactive time periods for the second network entity;
• receiving a configuration of a plurality of configured grant transmission occasions for uplink communications by the first network entity;
• receiving an indication to reactivate a first configured grant transmission occasion of the plurality of configured grant transmission occasions, the first configured grant transmission occasion scheduled as an invalid occasion due to overlap with a first discontinuous inactive time period of the plurality of discontinuous inactive time periods;
• incrementing a value for a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifier corresponding to the first configured grant transmission occasion based on a time difference between receipt of the indication and the first configured grant transmission occasion satisfying a threshold;
• and
• communicating with the second network entity during a second configured grant transmission occasion in accordance with the HARQ process identifier, wherein the HARQ process identifier is based on the first configured grant transmission occasion.
