Patent ID: 11452128

Abstract:
Methods for handling uplink transmissions between a user equipment (UE) and a base station in a 5G NR system are described. In implementations, a UE (110) receives, from the base station (120), a first radio resource control message (505) that includes a network-set SkipUplinkTxDynamic field indicating a first configuration for a skip uplink transmission function. The UE determines, regardless of the network-set SkipUplinkTxDynamic field, a user-equipment-set SkipUplinkTxDynamic field (510) that indicates a second configuration for the skip uplink transmission function. The UE transmits, to the base station, a radio resource complete message (515) that includes an indicator of the user-equipment-set SkipUplinkTxDynamic field to override the network-set SkipUplinkTxDynamic field. Afterwards, in various implementations, the UE processes uplink transmissions using the second configuration for the skip uplink transmission function.
