device (e.g., either a response to the Uplink message or queued device (e.g., either a response to the Uplink message or queued
information waiting to be transmitted), the Network transmits this information waiting to be transmitted), the Network transmits this
message to the device during the reception window. If no message is message to the device during the reception window. If no message is
received by the device after the reception opportunity window has received by the device after the reception opportunity window has
elapsed, the device closes the reception window opportunity and gets elapsed, the device closes the reception window opportunity and gets
back to the normal mode (e.g., continue Uplink transmissions, sleep, back to the normal mode (e.g., continue Uplink transmissions, sleep,
standby, etc.) standby, etc.).
When a Downlink message is sent to a device, a reception When a Downlink message is sent to a device, a reception

3.3.1. SCHC ACK on Downlink 3.3.1. SCHC ACK on Downlink
As explained previously, Downlink transmissions are driven by devices As explained previously, Downlink transmissions are driven by devices

indicates and allows a following Downlink opportunity. For this indicates and allows a following Downlink opportunity. For this
reason, when SCHC bidirectional services are used (e.g., ACK-on-Error reason, when SCHC bidirectional services are used (e.g., ACK-on-Error
fragmentation mode), the SCHC protocol implementation needs to fragmentation mode), the SCHC protocol implementation needs to
consider the times when a Downlink message (e.g., SCHC consider the times when a Downlink message (e.g., SCHC
Acknowledgement (ACK) can be sent and/or received. Acknowledgement (ACK)) can be sent and/or received.
For the Uplink ACK-on-Error fragmentation mode, a Downlink For the Uplink ACK-on-Error fragmentation mode, a Downlink
opportunity MUST be indicated by the last fragment of every window, opportunity MUST be indicated by the last fragment of every window,

Number (FCN) value, i.e., FCN = All-0 or FCN = All-1. The FCN is the Number (FCN) value, i.e., FCN = All-0 or FCN = All-1. The FCN is the
tile index in a specific window. The combination of the FCN and the tile index in a specific window. The combination of the FCN and the
window number uniquely identifies a SCHC Fragment, as explained in window number uniquely identifies a SCHC Fragment, as explained in
[RFC8724]. The device sends the fragments in sequence and, after [RFC8724]. The device sends the fragments in sequence and, after
transmitting FCN = All-0 or FCN = All-1, it opens up a reception transmitting FCN = All-0 or FCN = All-1, it opens up a reception
