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 control resource sets (coresets); a first group of search space sets for monitoring the plurality of coresets in a first mode; and a second group of search space sets for monitoring the plurality of coresets in a second mode. Reference signals for radio link monitoring are selected based on the first group of search space sets. The reference signals for the radio link monitoring are measured for both in the first mode and the second mode.

Claims (46)

1. A method comprising:

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

a plurality of control resource sets (coresets);

a first group of search space sets for monitoring the plurality of coresets in a first mode; and

a second group of search space sets for monitoring the plurality of coresets in a second mode, wherein the first group of search space sets are unmonitored in the second mode, and the second group of search space sets are unmonitored in the first mode;

selecting, based on the first group of search space sets and the second group of search space sets, reference signals, associated with the first group of search space sets, for radio link monitoring in both the first mode and the second mode; and

measuring, both in the first mode and the second mode, the reference signals for the radio link monitoring.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising indicating out-of-synch (OoS) during the measuring based on a quality of the reference signals being worse than a threshold.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising indicating in-synch (IS) during the measuring based on a quality of the reference signals being better than a threshold.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selecting the reference signals is further based on the one or more configuration parameters not indicating at least one reference signal for the radio link monitoring.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising monitoring at least one coreset of the plurality of coresets based on the reference signals.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the monitoring the at least one coreset based on the reference signals comprises that one or more demodulation reference signals (DMRSs) of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) reception in the at least one coreset are quasi co-located with the reference signals.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the monitoring the at least one coreset based on the reference signals comprises that one or more active transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states of the at least one coreset indicate the reference signals.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selecting the reference signals is further based on monitoring periodicities of the first group of search space sets.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters indicate the monitoring periodicities.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selecting the reference signals is further based on a plurality of coreset indexes of the plurality of coresets.

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 control resource sets (coresets);

a first group of search space sets for monitoring the plurality of coresets in a first mode; and

a second group of search space sets for monitoring the plurality of coresets in a second mode, wherein the first group of search space sets are unmonitored in the second mode, and the second group of search space sets are unmonitored in the first mode;

select, based on the first group of search space sets and the second group of search space sets, reference signals, associated with the first group of search space sets, for radio link monitoring in both the first mode and the second mode; and

measure, both in the first mode and the second mode, the reference signals for the radio link monitoring.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to indicate out-of-synch (OoS) during measurement of the reference signals based on a quality of the reference signals being worse than a threshold.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to indicate in-synch (IS) during measurement of the reference signals based on a quality of the reference signals being better than a threshold.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein selection of the reference signals is further based on the one or more configuration parameters not indicating at least one reference signal for the radio link monitoring.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to monitor at least one coreset of the plurality of coresets based on the reference signals.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein monitoring of the at least one coreset based on the reference signals comprises that one or more demodulation reference signals (DMRSs) of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) reception in the at least one coreset are quasi co-located with the reference signals.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein selection of the reference signals is further based on monitoring periodicities of the first group of search space sets.

18. The wireless device of claim 17 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters indicate the monitoring periodicities.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein selection of the reference signals is further based on a plurality of coreset indexes of the plurality of coresets.

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 control resource sets (coresets);

a first group of search space sets for monitoring the plurality of coresets in a first mode; and

a second group of search space sets for monitoring the plurality of coresets in a second mode, wherein the first group of search space sets are unmonitored in the second mode, and the second group of search space sets are unmonitored in the first mode; 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;

select, based on the first group of search space sets and the second group of search space sets, reference signals, associated with the first group of search space sets, for radio link monitoring in both the first mode and the second mode; and

measure, both in the first mode and the second mode, the reference signals for the radio link monitoring.
