  • Publication number: 20220217712
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may communicate with a network device in an idle or disconnected state using preconfigured uplink resources (PURs). The UE may transmit uplink data, and may begin to monitor for a PUR response message corresponding to the uplink data after a configurable time offset. The Base station may indicate the configurable time offset in an RRC release message, another message, or the UE may select the configurable time offset from a set of configurable time offsets based on one or more system parameter values. Additionally, the UE may not monitor for PUR response messages after every PUR occasion during which it transmits uplink data.
