Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed. In an example from the perspective of a User Equipment (UE) configured with bundled transmission, the UE initializes a configured uplink grant. The UE performs a plurality of transmissions within a bundle of a Medium Access Control Protocol Data Unit (MAC PDU) using the configured uplink grant. The UE stops a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) timer in response to a first transmission of the plurality of transmissions, wherein the DRX timer is not stopped in response to one or more second transmissions of the plurality of transmissions. When the DRX timer is running, the UE monitors a downlink control channel for an uplink grant for retransmission.

Abstract: A wireless device, a network node, a core node and methods for handling radio communication of data between the wireless device and the network node in a wireless network. The network node transmits system information related to availability of a potential data bearer dedicated for data tolerating a certain delivery delay, which is received by the wireless device in idle or inactive mode. The wireless device determines whether the potential data bearer is available, based on the system information. When available, the wireless device initiates a transition from idle/inactive mode to connected mode and communicates the data over the potential data bearer. When the potential data bearer is unavailable, the wireless device stays in the idle/inactive mode. When the data is downlink data, the core node sends a paging message indicating a potential data class.
