Methods, wireless devices, and network nodes for handling uplink communication activities.

Abstract

This process involves wireless devices, network nodes, and the methods employed by these devices to handle uplink communication operations. The wireless device (130) receives (601) a set of uplink resources periodically allocated to the device. Configure the set of supporting resources: a) The first procedure includes the first physical uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission of Message A (MsgA) communication operation. b) The second procedure includes the uplink transmission operations of, or corresponding to, the two-step Random Access Channel (RACH) procedure, including the first physical Random Access Channel (RACH) transmission and the second PUSCII transmission. and / or c) the third procedure includes the uplink transmission activities of, or correspondingly, the four-step RACH procedure includes the second PRACH transmission activity, and the third PUSCH transmission activity. The Time Advance (TA) value of at least one of the transmission activities is: i) configurable in a way independent between the PUSCH and PRACH transmission activities, ii) configured as zero (0), and the wireless device (130) does not validate the TA value, and / or iii) explicitly configured and validated before transmission from inactive or idle mode.
