Claim:
1. A method of transmitting hybrid automatic repeat/request (HARQ) data in continuous packet connectivity (CPC) mode, comprising: transmitting data to a network according to a discontinuous transmit (DTX) cycle in a CPC mode; exiting the CPC mode based at least in part on detecting available HARQ data scheduled for transmission according to a HARQ configuration that indicates one or more transmission opportunities for transmitting HARQ data independent of the DTX cycle; determining a next transmission opportunity of the one or more transmission opportunities configured for transmitting the available HARQ data, where the next transmission opportunity is not within a transmission time instance defined by the DTX cycle; and transmitting the available HARQ data during the next transmission opportunity outside of the CPC mode.
