Abstract

A wireless device receives one or more messages indicating a handover to a cell of a second base station. The one or more messages comprise configuration parameters of the cell. The configuration parameters indicate a plurality of power control parameter sets (PCPSs). The configuration parameters indicate a plurality of downlink reference signals. A downlink reference signal of the plurality of downlink reference signals is determined based on measurements of the plurality of downlink reference signals. A PCPS is selected from the plurality of PCPSs. The PCPS is associated with the downlink reference signal. An uplink transmission power is determined, based on the PCPS, for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) of the cell. An uplink transport block is transmitted with the uplink transmission power via the PUSCH of the cell.

Claims (63)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device from a first base station, one or more messages indicating a handover to a cell of a second base station, the one or more messages comprising configuration parameters of the cell, wherein the configuration parameters indicate:

a plurality of power control parameter sets (PCPSs); and

a plurality of downlink reference signals;

determining, based on measurements of the plurality of downlink reference signals, a downlink reference signal of the plurality of downlink reference signals;

selecting a PCPS, from the plurality of PCPSs, that is associated with the downlink reference signal;

determining, based on the PCPS, an uplink transmission power for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) of the cell; and

transmitting, with the uplink transmission power, an uplink transport block via the PUSCH of the cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, based on the uplink transmission power and a ramping power value, a second uplink transmission power for the PUSCH of the cell.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising retransmitting, with the second uplink transmission power, the uplink transport block via the PUSCH of the cell.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the measurements of the plurality of downlink reference signals comprise one or more measurements of a reference signal received power of the plurality of downlink reference signals.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the measurements of the plurality of downlink reference signals comprise one or more measurements of a signal to interference plus noise ratio of the plurality of downlink reference signals.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PCPS comprises at least one of:

an identifier of a pathloss reference signal;

an identifier of a p0 and alpha set; or

a closed loop power control index.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein radio resources of the PUSCH are configured by the first base station via a radio resource control reconfiguration message.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first base station comprises:

a source cell; or

a source base station.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cell comprises a target cell or a target base station.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the downlink reference signal comprises determining the downlink reference signal with a best radio link quality of the plurality of downlink reference signals.

11. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors;

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

receive, from a first base station, one or more messages indicating a handover to a cell of a second base station, the one or more messages comprising configuration parameters of the cell, wherein the configuration parameters indicate:

a plurality of power control parameter sets (PCPSs); and

a plurality of downlink reference signals;

determine, based on measurements of the plurality of downlink reference signals, a downlink reference signal of the plurality of downlink reference signals;

select a PCPS, from the plurality of PCPSs, that is associated with the downlink reference signal;

determine, based on the PCPS, an uplink transmission power for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) of the cell; and

transmit, with the uplink transmission power, an uplink transport block via the PUSCH of the cell.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to determine, based on the uplink transmission power and a ramping power value, a second uplink transmission power for the PUSCH of the cell.

13. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to retransmit, with the second uplink transmission power, the uplink transport block via the PUSCH of the cell.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the measurements of the plurality of downlink reference signals comprise one or more measurements of a reference signal received power of the plurality of downlink reference signals.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the PCPS comprises at least one of:

an identifier of a pathloss reference signal;

an identifier of a p0 and alpha set; or

a closed loop power control index.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein radio resources of the PUSCH are configured by the first base station via a radio resource control reconfiguration message.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first base station comprises:

a source cell; or

a source base station.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the cell comprises:

a target cell; or

a target base station.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to determine the downlink reference signal with a best radio link quality of the plurality of downlink reference signals.

20. A system comprising:

a base station comprising:

one or more second processors;

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

transmit one or more messages indicating a handover to a cell of a second base station, the one or more messages comprising configuration parameters of the cell, wherein the configuration parameters indicate:

a plurality of power control parameter sets (PCPSs); and

a plurality of downlink reference signals;

transmit the plurality of downlink reference signals; and

a wireless device comprising:

one or more processors;

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