Abstract

A downlink control information (DCI) is received. The DCI indicates one or more transmission configuration indication (TCI) states. A first pathloss between a transmission reception point (TRP) and a first panel of a wireless device is measured based on one or more pathloss reference signals (RSs). A second pathloss between the TRP and a second panel of the wireless device is measured based on the one or more pathloss RSs. A pathloss is determined based on a quantity of the one or more TCI states indicated by the DCI. The pathloss is a combined pathloss based on the first pathloss and the second pathloss in response to the quantity being equal to one. The pathloss is one of the first pathloss and the second pathloss in response to the quantity being greater than one. A transport block is transmitted with a transmission power based on the pathloss.

Claims (59)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, a downlink control information (DCI) indicating one or more transmission configuration indication (TCI) states;

measuring, based on one or more pathloss reference signals (RSs):

a first pathloss between a transmission reception point (TRP) and a first panel of the wireless device; and

a second pathloss between the TRP and a second panel of the wireless device;

determining a pathloss based on a quantity of the one or more TCI states indicated by the DCI, wherein:

in response to the quantity being equal to one, the pathloss is a combined pathloss based on the first pathloss and the second pathloss; and

in response to the quantity being greater than one, the pathloss is one of the first pathloss and the second pathloss; and

transmitting a transport block with a transmission power based on the pathloss.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising measuring an additional pathloss between the TRP and an additional panel of the wireless device.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the combined pathloss is further based on the additional pathloss.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more pathloss RSs comprise:

one or more channel state information reference signals; or

one or more synchronization signal blocks.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more TCI states comprises one or more downlink RSs.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more TCI states comprises one or more sounding RSs.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the combined pathloss is an average of the first pathloss and the second pathloss.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the combined pathloss is a linear combination of the first pathloss and the second pathloss.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission power is an output transmission power of power control based on the pathloss.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the power control based on the pathloss comprises a power control procedure for a physical uplink shared channel.

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 a downlink control information (DCI) indicating one or more transmission configuration indication (TCI) states;

measure, based on one or more pathloss reference signals (RSs):

a first pathloss between a transmission reception point (TRP) and a first panel of the wireless device; and

a second pathloss between the TRP and a second panel of the wireless device;

determine a pathloss based on a quantity of the one or more TCI states indicated by the DCI, wherein:

in response to the quantity being equal to one, the pathloss is a combined pathloss based on the first pathloss and the second pathloss; and

in response to the quantity being greater than one, the pathloss is one of the first pathloss and the second pathloss; and

transmit a transport block with a transmission power based on the pathloss.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to measure an additional pathloss between the TRP and an additional panel of the wireless device.

13. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the combined pathloss is further based on the additional pathloss.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more pathloss RSs comprise:

one or more channel state information reference signals; or

one or more synchronization signal blocks.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein each of the one or more TCI states comprises one or more downlink RSs.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein each of the one or more TCI states comprises one or more sounding RSs.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the combined pathloss comprises an average of the first pathloss and the second pathloss.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the combined pathloss comprises a linear combination of the first pathloss and the second pathloss.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the transmission power comprises an output transmission power of a power control procedure based on the pathloss.

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 a downlink control information (DCI) indicating one or more transmission configuration indication (TCI) states;

transmit one or more pathloss reference signals (RSs);

receive a transport block with a transmission power based on a pathloss; 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:

receive the DCI;

measure, based on the one or more pathloss RSs:

a first pathloss between a transmission reception point (TRP) and a first panel of the wireless device; and

a second pathloss between the TRP and a second panel of the wireless device;

determine the pathloss based on a quantity of the one or more TCI states indicated by the DCI, wherein:

in response to the quantity being equal to one, the pathloss is a combined pathloss based on the first pathloss and the second pathloss; and

in response to the quantity being greater than one, the pathloss is one of the first pathloss and the second pathloss; and

transmit the transport block with the transmission power based on the pathloss.
