Fast radio link control error recovery with low latency transmissions

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for detecting, at a receiving device, a transmission error based at least in part on a state of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process;
• means for initiating a timer based at least in part on the detection of the transmission error;
• means for determining that the timer has expired before a grant for a retransmission for the HARQ process has been received;
• and
• means for reporting, to a transmitting device, the transmission error based at least in part on the determination.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the apparatus to:
• detect, at a receiving device, a transmission error based at least in part on a state of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process;
• initiate a timer based at least in part on the detection of the transmission error;
• determine that the timer has expired before a grant for a retransmission for the HARQ process has been received;
• and
• report, to a transmitting device, the transmission error based at least in part on the determination.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communication, the code comprising instructions executable to:

• detect, at a receiving device, a transmission error based at least in part on a state of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process;
• initiate a timer based at least in part on the detection of the transmission error;
• determine that the timer has expired before a grant for a retransmission for the HARQ process has been received;
• and
• report, to a transmitting device, the transmission error based at least in part on the determination.
