Abstract

A wireless device receives one or more messages comprising one or more configuration parameters. The one or more configuration parameters indicate a plurality of transmission configuration indication (TCI) states. comprise at least one configuration parameter of a first downlink transmission group and a second downlink transmission group. A medium access control control element (MAC CE) is received. The MAC CE comprises: a first field identifying one of the first downlink transmission group and the second downlink transmission group; and a second field activating one or more TCI states, of the plurality of TCI states, for a downlink transmission group identified by the first field. A downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a transport block is received. In response to receiving the DCI, the transport block based on a TCI state among the one or more TCI states of the downlink transmission group is received.

Claims (56)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more messages comprising one or more configuration parameters:

indicating a plurality of transmission configuration indication (TCI) states; and

comprising at least one configuration parameter of a first downlink transmission group and a second downlink transmission group;

receiving a medium access control control element (MAC CE) comprising:

a first field identifying one of the first downlink transmission group and the second downlink transmission group; and

a second field activating one or more TCI states, of the plurality of TCI states, for a downlink transmission group identified by the first field;

receiving a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a transport block; and

in response to receiving the DCI, receiving the transport block based on a TCI state among the one or more TCI states of the downlink transmission group.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters indicate a plurality of downlink transmission groups for a plurality of control resource sets (coresets), wherein each coreset of the plurality of coresets is associated with a respective downlink transmission group of the plurality of downlink transmission groups.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the receiving the DCI comprises receiving the DCI in a coreset, among the plurality of coresets, associated with the downlink transmission group of the plurality of downlink transmission groups.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the receiving the MAC CE comprises receiving the MAC CE in the coreset.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first field comprises a coreset index associated with the coreset, wherein the coreset index indicates the downlink transmission group.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters indicate the coreset index for the coreset.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI indicates the TCI state among the one or more TCI states of the downlink transmission group.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the transport block based on the TCI state comprises that one or more antenna ports of demodulation reference signals of the transport block are quasi co-located with a reference signal indicated by the TCI state.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one of the first downlink transmission group and the second downlink transmission group is the first downlink transmission group based on a value of the first field being equal to a first value.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one of the first downlink transmission group and the second downlink transmission group is the second downlink transmission group based on a value of the first field being equal to a second value.

11. 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 one or more configuration parameters:

indicating a plurality of transmission configuration indication (TCI) states; and

comprising at least one configuration parameter of a first downlink transmission group and a second downlink transmission group;

receive a medium access control control element (MAC CE) comprising:

a first field identifying one of the first downlink transmission group and the second downlink transmission group; and

a second field activating one or more TCI states, of the plurality of TCI states, for a downlink transmission group identified by the first field;

receive a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a transport block; and

in response to receiving the DCI, receive the transport block based on a TCI state among the one or more TCI states of the downlink transmission group.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters indicate a plurality of downlink transmission groups for a plurality of control resource sets (coresets), wherein each coreset of the plurality of coresets is associated with a respective downlink transmission group of the plurality of downlink transmission groups.

13. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the receiving the DCI comprises receiving the DCI in a coreset, among the plurality of coresets, associated with the downlink transmission group of the plurality of downlink transmission groups.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the first field comprises a coreset index associated with the coreset, wherein the coreset index indicates the downlink transmission group.

15. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters indicate the coreset index for the coreset.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the DCI indicates the TCI state among the one or more TCI states of the downlink transmission group.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the reception of the transport block based on the TCI state comprises one or more antenna ports of demodulation reference signals of the transport block are quasi co-located with a reference signal indicated by the TCI state.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the one of the first downlink transmission group and the second downlink transmission group is the first downlink transmission group based on a value of the first field being equal to a first value.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the one of the first downlink transmission group and the second downlink transmission group is the second downlink transmission group based on a value of the first field being equal to a second value.

20. 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 one or more configuration parameters:

indicating a plurality of transmission configuration indication (TCI) states; and

comprising at least one configuration parameter of a first downlink transmission group and a second downlink transmission group;

transmit a medium access control control element (MAC CE) comprising:

a first field identifying one of the first downlink transmission group and the second downlink transmission group; and

a second field activating one or more TCI states, of the plurality of TCI states, for a downlink transmission group identified by the first field;

transmit a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a transport block; and

in response to transmitting the DCI, transmit the transport block based on a TCI state among the one or more TCI states of the downlink transmission group; and
