Group power control for a secondary cell
Methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer-readable media for power control for a secondary cell are disclosed. Primary and secondary transmit power control (TPC) indexes may indicate positions of first and second TPC commands, respectively, within downlink control information (DCI). Based on one or more of the TPC indexes, TPC commands may be used for sending transport blocks.

receiving an indication associated with activation of resources of the second PUSCH of the secondary cell;
receiving first DCI comprising a plurality of TPC commands, wherein the plurality of TPC commands comprise the second TPC command at the second position, in the first DCI, indicated by the secondary TPC index; and
sending, based on the second TPC command and using the resources of the second PUSCH of the secondary cell, one or more transport blocks.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a message indicating whether the wireless device is expected to monitor a common search space for the DCI.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second TPC command comprises two bits based on the DCI being DCI format 3, and wherein the two bits represent minus one decibel (dB), zero dB, plus one dB, or three dB.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second TPC command comprises a single bit based on the DCI being DCI format 3A, and wherein the single bit represents minus one dB or plus one dB.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the resources comprise periodic resources.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the wireless device, periodic resource allocation configuration parameters configuring a periodic resource allocation for transmission of the one or more transport blocks via the second PUSCH of the secondary cell.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the wireless device, a TPC radio network temporary identifier (RNTI),
wherein the receiving the first DCI comprises monitoring a common search space for the DCI that is associated with the TPC RNTI.
8. 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:
a primary transmit power control (TPC) index indicating a first position, in downlink control information (DCI), of a first TPC command for a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) of a primary cell, and
a secondary TPC index indicating a second position, in the DCI, of a second TPC command for a second PUSCH of a secondary cell;
receive an indication associated with activation of resources of the second PUSCH of the secondary cell;
receive first DCI comprising a plurality of TPC commands, wherein the plurality of TPC commands comprise the second TPC command at the second position, in the first DCI, indicated by the secondary TPC index; and
send, based on the second TPC command and using the resources of the second PUSCH of the secondary cell, one or more transport blocks.
9. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive a message indicating whether the wireless device is expected to monitor a common search space for the DCI.
10. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the second TPC command comprises two bits based on the DCI being DCI format 3, and wherein the two bits represent minus one decibel (dB), zero dB, plus one dB, or three dB.
11. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the second TPC command comprises a single bit based on the DCI being DCI format 3A, and wherein the single bit represents minus one dB or plus one dB.
12. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the resources comprise periodic resources.
13. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive periodic resource allocation configuration parameters configuring a periodic resource allocation for transmission of the one or more transport blocks via the second PUSCH of the secondary cell.
14. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive a TPC radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), and
wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to receive the first DCI by monitoring a common search space for the DCI that is associated with the TPC RNTI.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a wireless device to perform steps comprising:
receiving:
a primary transmit power control (TPC) index indicating a first position, in downlink control information (DCI), of a first TPC command for a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) of a primary cell; and
a secondary TPC index indicating a second position, in the DCI, of a second TPC command for a second PUSCH of a secondary cell;
receiving an indication associated with activation of resources of the second PUSCH of the secondary cell;
receiving first DCI comprising a plurality of TPC commands, wherein the plurality of TPC commands comprise the second TPC command at the second position, in the first DCI, indicated by the secondary TPC index; and
sending, based on the second TPC command and using the resources of the second PUSCH of the secondary cell, one or more transport blocks.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the wireless device to perform further steps comprising receiving a message indicating whether the wireless device is expected to monitor a common search space for the DCI.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the second TPC command comprises two bits based on the DCI being DCI format 3, and wherein the two bits represent minus one decibel (dB), zero dB, plus one dB, or three dB.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the second TPC command comprises a single bit based on the DCI being DCI format 3A, and wherein the single bit represents minus one dB or plus one dB.
