Abstract
Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to de-prioritization of retransmission. A device determines whether user data is absent in a transport block that is to be retransmitted through a hybrid automatic repeat request process. The device deprioritizes selection of the hybrid automatic repeat request process for one or more transmissions on a configured grant based at least in part on the determination. Through this solution, it is possible to avoid or deprioritize unnecessary retransmissions of the transport blocks without user data.
Claims19
A device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code;
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the device to:
- determine that user data is absent in a transport block for a retransmission through a hybrid automatic repeat request process;
- and
- deprioritize selection of the hybrid automatic repeat request process for the retransmission on a configured grant based at least in part on the determination.
A method comprising:
- determining that user data is absent in a transport block for a retransmission through a hybrid automatic repeat request process;
- and
- deprioritizing selection of the hybrid automatic repeat request process for the retransmission on a configured grant based at least in part on the determination.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for determining that user data is absent in a transport block for a retransmission through a hybrid automatic repeat request process;
- and
- means for deprioritizing selection of the hybrid automatic repeat request process for the retransmission on a configured grant based at least in part on the determination.
