Abstract

A wireless device receives a first downlink control information indicating activation of a semi-persistent channel state information reporting. A first medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) is transmitted confirming the first downlink control information. The first MAC CE is identified by a first MAC subheader with a first logical channel identifier for the semi-persistent channel state information reporting. A second downlink control information indicating activation of a configured uplink grant is received. A second MAC CE confirming the second downlink control information is transmitted. The second MAC CE is identified by a second MAC subheader with a second logical channel identifier for the configured uplink grant.

Claims (49)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device from a base station, a first downlink control information indicating activation of a semi-persistent channel state information reporting;

transmitting, by the wireless device to the base station, a first medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) confirming reception of the first downlink control information, wherein the first MAC CE is identified by a first MAC subheader with a first logical channel identifier for the semi-persistent channel state information reporting;

transmitting a semi-persistent channel state information report for the semi-persistent channel state information reporting based on the first downlink control information;

receiving a second downlink control information indicating activation of a configured uplink grant; and

transmitting, by the wireless device to the base station, a second MAC CE confirming the second downlink control information, wherein the second MAC CE is identified by a second MAC subheader with a second logical channel identifier for the configured uplink grant.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first MAC CE has a fixed size of zero bits.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second MAC CE has a fixed size of zero bits.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first logical channel identifier is different from the second logic channel identifier.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting uplink data packets via the configured uplink grant in response to receiving the second downlink control information.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a third downlink control information indicating deactivation of the configured uplink grant; and

transmitting the second MAC CE confirming the third downlink control information.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising stopping transmission of data packets on the configured uplink grant in response to receiving the third downlink control information.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the semi-persistent channel state information report comprises one or more values of:

channel quality indicator (CQI);

precoding matrix indicator (PMI);

rank indicator (RI);

channel state information reference signal resource indicator (CRI); and

layer 1-reference signal received power (L1-RSRP).

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the semi-persistent channel state information report is measured based on one or more reference signals, wherein the one or more reference signals comprise at least one of:

channel state information reference signals; or

synchronization signal blocks.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a third downlink control information indicating deactivation of the semi-persistent channel state information reporting; and

transmitting the first MAC CE confirming the third downlink control information.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising deactivating the semi-persistent channel state information reporting in response to receiving the third downlink control information.

12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising stopping transmission of a semi-persistent channel state information report in response to receiving the third downlink control information.

13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving one or more messages comprising:

first configuration parameters of a plurality of semi-persistent reporting of channel state information reporting; and

second configuration parameters of a configured uplink grant for uplink transmission.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the second configuration parameters comprise at least one of:

a power control parameter;

a transform precoder indicator;

a number of hybrid automatic repeat request process;

a value of periodicity of the configured uplink grant;

a time resource configuration;

a frequency resource configuration;

a modulation and coding scheme indication; or

a repetition number.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the first configuration parameters comprise at least one of the following:

radio resources of one or more reference signals;

report quantity indication;

a report periodicity;

frequency granularity for one or more channel state information reports; or

measurement restriction configurations.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising transmitting the semi-persistent channel state information report based on the first configuration parameters of the semi-persistent channel state information reporting in response to receiving the first downlink control information.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the wireless device transmits the semi-persistent channel state information report with the report periodicity.

18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the wireless device transmits the semi-persistent channel state information report based on the one or more reference signals.
