Abstract

A wireless device receives one or more messages comprising configuration parameters indicating a plurality of configured grant configurations for one or more bandwidth parts (BWPs) of a cell. A downlink control information is received. The downlink control information indicates activation or release of a first configured grant configuration, among the plurality of configured grant configurations, for a first BWP of the one or more BWPs. A confirmation indicating that the wireless device received the downlink control information indicating the activation or release of the first configured grant configuration is transmitted. The confirmation comprises at least one of: an identifier of the first BWP; and an identifier of a sub-band of the first BWP.

Claims (51)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more messages comprising configuration parameters indicating a plurality of configured grant configurations for bandwidth parts (BWPs) of a cell;

receiving a downlink control information indicating activation or release of a first configured grant configuration, among the plurality of configured grant configurations, for a first BWP of the BWPs;

validating the downlink control information as a configured grant activation or a configured grant activation release based on one or more values of one or more fields of the downlink control information; and

based on the validating the downlink control information:

activating or releasing the first configured grant configuration; and

transmitting a confirmation indicating that the wireless device received the downlink control information indicating the activation or the release of the first configured grant configuration, wherein the confirmation comprises:

an identifier of the first BWP; and

an identifier of a sub-band of a plurality of sub-bands of the first BWP.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first configured grant configuration is for the sub-band of the first BWP.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the sub-band is a listen-before-talk sub-band.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the confirmation further comprises an identifier of the cell.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the confirmation further comprises an identifier of the first configured grant configuration.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the confirmation is a medium-access control control element (MAC CE).

7. 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 one or more messages comprising configuration parameters indicating a plurality of configured grant configurations for bandwidth parts (BWPs) of a cell;

receive a downlink control information indicating activation or release of a first configured grant configuration, among the plurality of configured grant configurations, for a first BWP of the BWPs;

validate the downlink control information as a configured grant activation or a configured grant activation release based on one or more values of one or more fields of the downlink control information; and

based on validating the downlink control information:

activate or release the first configured grant configuration based on a validation of the downlink control information as a configured grant activation or a configured grant activation release; and

transmit a confirmation indicating that the wireless device received the downlink control information indicating the activation or the release of the first configured grant configuration, wherein the confirmation comprises:

an identifier of the first BWP; and

an identifier of a sub-band of a plurality of sub-bands of the first BWP.

8. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the first configured grant configuration is for the sub-band of the first BWP.

9. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the sub-band is a listen-before-talk sub-band.

10. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the confirmation further comprises an identifier of the cell.

11. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the confirmation further comprises an identifier of the first configured grant configuration.

12. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the confirmation is a medium-access control control element (MAC CE).

13. A system comprising:

a base station comprising;

one or more first processors; and

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

transmit one or more messages comprising configuration parameters indicating a plurality of configured grant configurations for bandwidth parts (BWPs) of a cell; and

transmit a downlink control information indicating activation or release of a first configured grant configuration, among the plurality of configured grant configurations, for a first BWP of the BWPs; and

a wireless device comprising:

one or more second processors; and

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

receive the one or more messages and the downlink control information;

validate the downlink control information as a configured grant activation or a configured grant activation release based on one or more values of one or more fields of the downlink control information; and

based on validating the downlink control information:

activate or release the first configured grant configuration based on a validation of the downlink control information as a configured grant activation or a configured grant activation release; and

transmit, to the base station, a confirmation indicating that the wireless device received the downlink control information indicating the activation or the release of the first configured grant configuration, wherein the confirmation comprises:

 an identifier of the first BWP; and

 an identifier of a sub-band of a plurality of sub-bands of the first BWP.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the first configured grant configuration is for the sub-band of the first BWP.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the sub-band is a listen-before-talk sub-band.

16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the confirmation further comprises an identifier of the cell.

17. The system of claim 13 , wherein the confirmation further comprises an identifier of the first configured grant configuration.

18. The system of claim 13 , wherein the confirmation is a medium-access control control element (MAC CE).
