Abstract
Aspects described herein relate to transmitting hybrid automatic repeat/request (HARQ) data in continuous packet connectivity (CPC) mode. Data is transmitted to a network according to a discontinuous transmit (DTX) cycle in a CPC mode. The CPC mode can be exited, however, based at least in part on detecting available HARQ data for transmission. In this regard, a next transmission opportunity configured for transmitting the available HARQ data is determined, where the next transmission opportunity is not within a transmission time instance defined by the DTX cycle, and the available HARQ data is transmitted during the next transmission opportunity outside of the CPC mode.
