Abstract
A wireless device receives radio resource control (RRC) message(s) comprising configuration parameters for cells comprising licensed assisted access (LAA) cells. Uplink grants for the LAA cells are received. An uplink grant in the uplink grants indicates a channel access priority class. The uplink grants are grouped into grouped grants. A first grouped grant in the grouped grants comprises a first plurality of uplink grants each indicating a same first channel access priority class. Radio resources are allocated, indicated by the first grouped grant, to one or more first logical channels. A plurality of transport blocks corresponding to the first plurality of grants are generated and transmitted.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters for a plurality of cells comprising a plurality of licensed assisted access (LAA) cells;
- receiving, by the wireless device, a plurality of uplink grants for the plurality of LAA cells, wherein an uplink grant in the plurality of uplink grants indicates a channel access priority class;
- grouping the plurality of uplink grants into a plurality of grouped grants, wherein a first grouped grant in the plurality of grouped grants comprises a first plurality of uplink grants each indicating a same first channel access priority class;
- allocating radio resources, indicated by the first grouped grant, to one or more first logical channels;
- generating a plurality of transport blocks corresponding to the first plurality of grants;
- and
- transmitting, by the wireless device, the plurality of transport blocks.
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 one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters for a plurality of cells comprising a plurality of licensed assisted access (LAA) cells;
- receive a plurality of uplink grants for the plurality of LAA cells, wherein an uplink grant in the plurality of uplink grants indicates a channel access priority class;
- group the plurality of uplink grants into a plurality of grouped grants, wherein a first grouped grant in the plurality of grouped grants comprises a first plurality of uplink grants each indicating a same first channel access priority class;
- allocate radio resources, indicated by the first grouped grant, to one or more first logical channels;
- generate a plurality of transport blocks corresponding to the first plurality of grants;
- and
- transmit the plurality of transport blocks.
