Abstract

A wireless device receives a downlink control information (DCI) indicating uplink resources in a plurality of consecutive subframes, the DCI comprising a first field and a second field. A position of a first subframe in the plurality of consecutive subframes is determined based on the first field. The first subframe is for transmission of one or more channel state information (CSI) fields. In response to the second field triggering a CSI report, the one or more CSI fields are transmitted in the first subframe.

Claims (36)

1. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

receive a downlink control information (DCI), for an uplink multi-subframe grant (MSFG), scheduling physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resources in a plurality of consecutive PUSCH subframes, the DCI comprising a first field and a second field;

determine, based on the first field, a position of a first PUSCH subframe in which to transmit one or more channel state information (CSI) fields, wherein the first PUSCH subframe is among the plurality of consecutive PUSCH subframes; and

transmit, in the first PUSCH subframe, the one or more CSI fields in response to the second field triggering a CSI report.

2. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the DCI indicates a number of the plurality of consecutive PUSCH subframes.

3. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more CSI fields are associated with one or more CSI processes identified based, at least in part, on the second field.

4. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more CSI fields comprise a channel quality index, a precoding matrix indicator, and a rank indicator.

5. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein:

the DCI further comprises a third field; and

the instructions further cause the wireless device to perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure based, at least, on the third field, the LBT procedure indicating a channel is available for transmission in the first PUSCH subframe.

6. The wireless device of claim 5 , wherein the third field indicates one or more parameters for the LBT procedure, which are used in the LBT procedure to determine a duration of time that a channel is sensed to be idle before transmitting.

7. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the DCI further comprises a transmit power control (TPC) employed for calculating a transmit power for transmission of the one or more CSI fields.

8. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters for a licensed assisted access (LAA) cell comprising the PUSCH resources, the configuration parameters comprising one or more CSI parameters.

9. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more CSI fields are associated with one or more CSI processes identified based, at least in part, on the one or more RRC messages.

10. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the configuration parameters comprise one or more CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) radio resource parameters and one or more CSI interference measurement (CSI-IM) resource parameters.

11. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein:

the DCI further comprises a third field; and

the instructions further cause the wireless device to perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure based, at least, on the third field, the LBT procedure indicating a channel is available for transmission in the first PUSCH subframe.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the third field indicates one or more parameters for the LBT procedure, which are used in the LBT procedure to determine a duration of time that a channel is sensed to be idle before transmitting.

13. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters for a licensed assisted access (LAA) cell comprising the uplink resources, the configuration parameters comprising one or more CSI parameters.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to perform measurements in one or more second subframes according to a subframe pattern configuration, wherein the configuration parameters indicate the subframe pattern configuration.

15. A base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

transmit, to a wireless device, a downlink control information (DCI), for an uplink multi-subframe grant (MSFG), scheduling physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resources in a plurality of consecutive PUSCH subframes, the DCI comprising a first field and a second field;

determine a position, indicated by the first field, of a first PUSCH subframe in which to receive one or more channel state information (CSI) fields, wherein the first PUSCH subframe is among the plurality of consecutive PUSCH subframes; and

receive, from the wireless device in the first PUSCH subframe, the one or more CSI fields in response to the second field triggering a CSI report.

16. The base station of claim 15 , wherein the DCI indicates a number of the plurality of consecutive PUSCH subframes.

17. The base station of claim 15 , wherein the one or more CSI fields are associated with one or more CSI processes identified based, at least in part, on the second field.

18. The base station of claim 15 , wherein the one or more CSI fields comprise a channel quality index, a precoding matrix indicator, and a rank indicator.

19. The base station of claim 15 , wherein:

the DCI further comprises a third field; and

the wireless device performs a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure based, at least, on the third field, the LBT procedure indicating a channel is available for transmission in the first PUSCH subframe.

20. The base station of claim 19 , wherein the third field indicates one or more parameters for the LBT procedure, which are used in the LBT procedure to determine a duration of time that a channel is sensed to be idle before transmitting.
