Abstract

A wireless device receives a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block. A control order for transmission of a preamble is received. A transmission power is determined for the preamble. The transmission power is based on: a received power value of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) and a power offset value, in response to the wireless device configured with the CSI-RS; and a received power value of the SS/PBCH block and not based on the power offset value, in response to the wireless device not configured with CSI-RS. The preamble is transmitted based on the transmission power.

Claims (41)

1. A method of a wireless device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a synchronization signals and physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block;

receiving a control order for transmission of a preamble in a random access procedure;

determining a transmission power for the preamble based on:

a power offset value based on a transmission power of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) relative to a transmission power of the SS/PBCH block, in case that the wireless device is configured with the CSI-RS, and

a transmission power of the SS/PBCH block and not based on a power offset value, in case that the wireless device is not configured with CSI-RS; and

transmitting the preamble based on the transmission power for the preamble.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI-RS is a periodic CSI-RS.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving one or more configuration parameters indicating the power offset value.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving one or more configuration parameters indicating at least one of one or more CSI-RS subcarriers of resource elements or a CSI-RS sequence.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving one or more configuration parameters indicating at least one of a reference signal power value, a preamble base station received target power, or a configured wireless device transmit power for a cell.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission power for the preamble is based on a sum of a preamble base station received target power and a value of a pathloss measurement.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the value of the pathloss measurement is based on a reference signal power value and a measured received power value of a reference signal.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein:

the reference signal is the CSI-RS in response to the wireless device configured with the CSI-RS; and

the reference signal is at least one synchronization signal in response to the wireless device not configured with CSI-RS.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission power for the preamble employs the value of a pathloss measurement determined based on a received power value of the CSI-RS.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising at least one radio resource control message indicating, in response to the wireless device configured with the CSI-RS:

at least one random access channel used for transmitting the preamble;

a first association between one or more synchronization signals and the CSI-RS; and

a second association between the at least one random access channel and the one or more synchronization signals.

11. A method of a wireless device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, a reference signal power value of a synchronization signals and physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block;

receiving a control order for transmission of a preamble in a random access procedure;

determining a transmission power for the preamble based on:

a power offset value based on a transmission power of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), relative to a transmission power of the SS/PBCH block in case that the wireless device is configured with the CSI-RS, and

a transmission power of the SS/PBCH block and not based on a power offset value, in case that the wireless device is not being configured with the CSI-RS; and

transmitting the preamble based on the transmission power for the preamble.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the CSI-RS is a periodic CSI-RS.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising receiving one or more configuration parameters indicating a periodicity of the CSI-RS.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising receiving one or more configuration parameters indicating at least one of one or more CSI-RS subcarriers of resource elements or a CSI-RS sequence.

15. The method of claim 11 , further comprising receiving one or more configuration parameters indicating at least one of a reference signal power value, a preamble base station received target power, or a configured wireless device transmit power for a cell.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the transmission power for the preamble is based on a sum of a preamble base station received target power and a value of a pathloss measurement.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the value of the pathloss measurement is based on the reference signal power value and a measured received power value of a reference signal.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein:

the reference signal is the CSI-RS in response to the wireless device configured with the CSI-RS; and

the reference signal is at least one synchronization signal in response to the wireless device not configured with CSI-RS.

19. The method of claim 11 , further comprising at least one radio resource control message indicating, in response to the wireless device configured with the CSI-RS:

at least one random access channel used for transmitting the preamble;

a first association between one or more synchronization signals and the CSI-RS; and

a second association between the at least one random access channel and the one or more synchronization signals.
