Abstract
A wireless device (14) is configured for use in a wireless communication system (10). The wireless device (14) configures a number of parallel hybrid automatic repeat request, HARQ, processes (18) as being available for use. The wireless device (14) discontinuously monitors a downlink control channel (20), including monitoring the downlink control channel (20) during an active time (24) that is based on how many of the configured number of parallel HARQ processes (18) are used.

A method performed by a wireless device configured for use in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- configuring a number of parallel hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes as being available for use;
- and
- discontinuously monitoring a downlink control channel, including monitoring the downlink control channel during an active time that is based on how many of the configured number of parallel HARQ processes are used.
A method performed by a network node configured for use in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- transmitting, to a wireless device, control signaling that configures the wireless device to discontinuously monitor a downlink control channel by monitoring the downlink control channel during an active time that is based on how many of a number of configured parallel hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes are used.
