Abstract
A network node (200), a wireless device (202) and methods therein, for handling discontinuous transmission, DTX, in a communication using multiple uplink carriers. The communication involves a primary uplink carrier using a first Transmission Time Interval, TTI and a secondary uplink carrier using a second TTI which is different than the first TTI. Values of DTX parameters defined for only one of the first and second TTIs are selected (2:4) for the communication, and the wireless device (202) is instructed (2:7) to use the selected values of DTX parameters for transmission on both the primary uplink carrier and the secondary uplink carrier. Thereby, misalignment of DTX cycles employed on the two uplink carriers can be avoided or reduced.
