Abstract

A wireless device receives from a base station, one or more messages comprising configuration parameters of a layer 1 reference signal received power reporting for a secondary cell. The configuration parameters indicate resource configurations of a plurality of reference signals on the secondary cell. A medium access control control element indicating activation of the secondary cell is received. In response to the medium access control control element, a layer 1 reference signal received power report for the layer 1 reference signal received power reporting for the secondary cell is transmitted. The layer 1 reference signal received power report comprises: first fields indicating at least one reference signal of the plurality of reference signals; and second fields indicating at least a layer 1 reference signal received power value of the at least one reference signals.

Claims (34)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device from a base station, one or more messages comprising configuration parameters of a layer 1 reference signal received power reporting for a secondary cell, the configuration parameters indicating resource configurations of a plurality of reference signals on the secondary cell;

receiving a medium access control control element indicating activation of the secondary cell; and

transmitting, in response to the medium access control control element, a layer 1 reference signal received power report for the layer 1 reference signal received power reporting for the secondary cell, wherein the layer 1 reference signal received power report comprises:

first fields indicating at least one reference signal of the plurality of reference signals; and

second fields indicating at least a layer 1 reference signal received power value of the at least one reference signal.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a second medium access control control element indicating deactivation of the secondary cell; and

stopping, in response to the second medium access control control element, the transmitting the layer 1 reference signal received power report for the secondary cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a second power value of the at least the layer 1 reference signal received power value is a 4-bit value, indicating a power value relative to a first power value of the at least the layer 1 reference signal received power value.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a first power value of the at least the layer 1 reference signal received power value is a 7-bit value.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the 7-bit value indicates a power value between −140 dbm and −44 dbm.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting a channel quality indicator report for the secondary cell, in response to the medium access control control element.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the channel quality indicator report comprises at least one of:

a channel quality indicator;

a precoding matrix indicator;

a channel state information reference signal resource indicator;

a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block resource indicator; and

a layer indicator.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device transmits the layer 1 reference signal received power report from a first slot a number of slots after a second slot when the wireless device receives the medium access control control element.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the number of slots is a configured value or a predefined value.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device transmits the layer 1 reference signal received power report with a report periodicity.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the report periodicity is indicated the one or more messages.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least the layer 1 reference signal received power value is equal to or greater than a threshold.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the threshold is indicated in a radio resource control message.

14. The method of claim 12 , further comprising transmitting a channel quality indicator report for the secondary cell, in response to a power value of the at least the layer 1 reference signal received power value being equal to or greater than a threshold.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of reference signals comprise at least one of:

a first plurality of channel state information reference signals; and

a second plurality of synchronization signal blocks.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the first plurality of channel state information reference signals are one or more periodic channel state information reference signals.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein a transmission periodicity of the one or more periodic channel state information reference signals is indicated in the one or more messages.

18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters further comprise resource configurations of an uplink control channel for the layer 1 reference signal received power reporting for the secondary cell.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the wireless device transmits the layer 1 reference signal received power report via the uplink control channel.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the uplink control channel is configured on a primary cell, or a physical uplink control channel secondary cell.
