Abstract

A wireless device triggers transmission of a scheduling request (SR) based on triggering a beam failure recovery (BFR) of a secondary cell. A configured transmission of the SR based on transmitting a medium access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) is stopped. The transmission comprises a BFR medium access control control element (BFR MAC CE) comprising information of the BFR triggered prior to assembling of the MAC PDU.

Claims (33)

1. A method comprising:

triggering, by a wireless device, transmission of a scheduling request (SR) based on triggering a beam failure recovery (BFR) of a secondary cell; and

stopping a configured transmission of the SR based on transmitting a medium access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) comprising a BFR medium access control control element (BFR MAC CE) comprising information of the BFR.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising triggering transmission of a second SR based on triggering a second BFR of a second secondary cell.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising transmitting the second SR.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the transmitting the second SR is based on the triggering of the second BFR occurring after assembling of the MAC PDU.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the BFR MAC CE does not comprise information of the second BFR triggered after assembling of the MAC PDU.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising continuing the second BFR.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the transmitting the second SR is based on the continuing the second BFR.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the stopping the configured transmission of the SR comprises completing the BFR of the secondary cell.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the BFR MAC CE comprising the information of the BFR comprises that the BFR MAC CE comprises a first field indicating a first cell index of the secondary cell with the BFR.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the BFR MAC CE comprising the information of the BFR comprises the BFR MAC CE comprising a second field indicating a candidate reference signal index indicating a candidate reference signal for the secondary cell with the BFR.

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:

trigger transmission of a scheduling request (SR) based on triggering a beam failure recovery (BFR) of a secondary cell; and

stop a configured transmission of the SR based on transmitting a medium access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) comprising a BFR medium access control control element (BFR MAC CE) comprising information of the BFR.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to trigger transmission of a second SR based on triggering a second BFR of a second secondary 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 transmit the second SR.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the transmission of the second SR is based on the triggering of the second BFR occurring after assembling of the MAC PDU.

15. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the BFR MAC CE does not comprise information of the second BFR triggered after assembling of the MAC PDU.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to continue the second BFR.

17. The wireless device of claim 16 , wherein the transmission of the second SR is based on the continuation of the second BFR.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the stopping of the configured transmission of the SR comprises completing the BFR of the secondary cell.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the BFR MAC CE comprising the information of the BFR comprises the BFR MAC CE comprising a first field indicating a first cell index of the secondary cell with the BFR.

20. A system comprising:

a base station; and

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, from the base station, one or more configuration parameters indicating one or more resources for a configured transmission of a scheduling request (SR);

trigger transmission of the SR based on triggering a beam failure recovery (BFR) of a secondary cell; and

stop the configured transmission of the SR based on transmitting a medium access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) comprising a BFR medium access control control element (BFR MAC CE) comprising information of the BFR.
