Abstract

A wireless device receives message(s) comprising configuration parameters for a cell. A first DCI is received in a first TTI and comprises: a first field indicating a first resource block assignment; and a first trigger field indicating whether the first DCI is a first triggered DCI. A second DCI is received in a second TTI and comprises: a second field indicating a second resource block assignment; and a second trigger field indicating whether the second DCI is a second triggered DCI. A third DCI is received in a third TTI via a common control channel of the cell and comprises a third trigger field indicating a trigger. The first DCI or the second DCI may be selected as a selected DCI at least based on a relative start time of the first TTI and the second TTI. Transport block(s) are transmitted employing the selected DCI in response to the trigger.

Claims (50)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more messages comprising configuration parameters for a cell;

receiving, in a first transmission time interval (TTI), a first downlink control information (DCI) comprising:

a first field indicating a first resource block assignment; and

a first trigger field indicating whether the first DCI is a first triggered DCI;

receiving, in a second TTI, a second DCI comprising:

a second field indicating a second resource block assignment; and

a second trigger field indicating whether the second DCI is a second triggered DCI;

receiving, in a third TTI and via a common control channel of the cell, a third DCI comprising a third trigger field indicating a trigger;

selecting, as a selected DCI, one of the first DCI or the second DCI at least based on a start time of the first TTI and the second TTI; and

transmitting, in response to the trigger, at least one transport block employing the selected DCI.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cell operates according to a frame structure type 3.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first DCI is the first triggered DCI.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second DCI is the second triggered DCI.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one of the first DCI or the second DCI is the first DCI in response to the timing of the first TTI being earlier than the timing of the second TTI, otherwise the one of the first DCI or the second DCI is the second DCI.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first DCI comprises a first timing offset field indicating a first transmission timing offset.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second DCI comprises a second timing offset field indicating a second transmission timing offset.

8. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors;

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive one or more messages comprising configuration parameters for a cell;

receive, in a first transmission time interval (TTI), a first downlink control information (DCI) comprising:

a first field indicating a first resource block assignment; and

a first trigger field indicating whether the first DCI is a first triggered DCI;

receive, in a second TTI, a second DCI comprising:

a second field indicating a second resource block assignment; and

a second trigger field indicating whether the second DCI is a second triggered DCI;

receive, in a third TTI and via a common control channel of the cell, a third DCI comprising a field indicating a trigger; and

transmit, in response to the trigger, at least one transport block employing one of the first DCI or the second DCI that is selected at least based on a timing of the first TTI or the second TTI.

9. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the cell operates according to a frame structure type 3.

10. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the first DCI is the first triggered DCI.

11. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the second DCI is the second triggered DCI.

12. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the one of the first DCI or the second DCI is the first DCI in response to the timing of the first TTI being earlier than the timing of the second TTI, otherwise the one of the first DCI or the second DCI is the second DCI.

13. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the first DCI comprises a first timing offset field indicating a first transmission timing offset.

14. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the second DCI comprises a second timing offset field indicating a second transmission timing offset.

15. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a base station, one or more messages comprising configuration parameters for a cell;

transmitting, in a first transmission time interval (TTI), a first downlink control information (DCI) comprising:

a first field indicating a first resource block assignment; and

a first trigger field indicating whether the first DCI is a first triggered DCI;

transmitting, in a second TTI, a second DCI comprising:

a second field indicating a second resource block assignment; and

a second trigger field indicating whether the second DCI is a second triggered DCI;

transmitting, in a third TTI and via a common control channel of the cell, a third DCI comprising a field indicating a trigger; and

receiving, by the base station, in response to the trigger, at least one transport block employing one of the first DCI or the second DCI that is selected at least based on a timing of the first TTI or the second TTI.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the cell operates according to a frame structure type 3.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the first DCI is the first triggered DCI.

18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the second DCI is the second triggered DCI.

19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the one of the first DCI or the second DCI is the first DCI in response to the timing of the first TTI being earlier than the timing of the second TTI, otherwise the one of the first DCI or the second DCI is the second DCI.

20. The method of claim 15 , wherein the first DCI comprises a first timing offset field indicating a first transmission timing offset.
