Abstract

A base station receives, from a wireless device, at least one first measurement report of at least one synchronization signal of a cell. One or more channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs) of the cell are selected based on: the at least one first measurement report; and a first antenna port of the one or more CSI-RSs being quasi-collocated with a second port of the at least one synchronization signal. At least one second measurement report of the one or more CSI-RSs is received. At least one first CSI-RS of the one or more CSI-RSs is selected based on the at least one second measurement report. A downlink control information initiating a random access procedure of the cell is transmitted. The random access procedure is based on the at least one first CSI-RS.

Claims (47)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a base station from a wireless device, at least one first measurement report of at least one synchronization signal of a cell;

selecting one or more channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs) of the cell based on:

the at least one first measurement report; and

a first antenna port of the one or more CSI-RSs being quasi-collocated with a second port of the at least one synchronization signal;

receiving at least one second measurement report of the one or more CSI-RSs;

selecting, based on the at least one second measurement report, at least one first CSI-RS of the one or more CSI-RSs; and

transmitting a downlink control information initiating a random access procedure of the cell, the random access procedure being based on the at least one first CSI-RS.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cell is a secondary cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first measurement report indicates at least one first index of the at least one synchronization signal.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first measurement report indicates at least one first received signal strength of the at least one synchronization signal.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one second measurement report indicates at least one second index of a second CSI-RS selected by the wireless device among the one or more CSI-RSs.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the at least one second measurement report indicates at least one second received signal strength of the second CSI-RS.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the base station transmits, to the wireless device via the cell, the at least one synchronization signal.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein each of the at least one synchronization signal comprises a primary synchronization signal and a secondary synchronization signal.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink control information further comprises at least one random access preamble.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink control information is scrambled by a cell radio network temporary identifier.

11. A base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to:

receive, from a wireless device, at least one first measurement report of at least one synchronization signal of a cell;

select one or more channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs) of the cell based on:

the at least one first measurement report; and

a first antenna port of the one or more CSI-RSs being quasi-collocated with a second port of the at least one synchronization signal;

receive at least one second measurement report of the one or more CSI-RSs;

select, based on the at least one second measurement report, at least one first CSI-RS of the one or more CSI-RSs; and

transmit a downlink control information initiating a random access procedure of the cell, the random access procedure being based on the at least one first CSI-RS.

12. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the cell is a secondary cell.

13. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the at least one first measurement report indicates at least one first index of the at least one synchronization signal.

14. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the at least one first measurement report indicates at least one first received signal strength of the at least one synchronization signal.

15. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the at least one second measurement report indicates at least one second index of a second CSI-RS selected by the wireless device among the one or more CSI-RSs.

16. The base station of claim 15 , wherein the at least one second measurement report indicates at least one second received signal strength of the second CSI-RS.

17. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station to transmit, to the wireless device via the cell, the at least one synchronization signal.

18. The base station of claim 17 , wherein each of the at least one synchronization signal comprises a primary synchronization signal and a secondary synchronization signal.

19. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the downlink control information further comprises at least one random access preamble.

20. A system comprising:

a wireless device; and

a base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to:

receive, from the wireless device, at least one first measurement report of at least one synchronization signal of a cell;

select one or more channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs) of the cell based on:

the at least one first measurement report; and

a first antenna port of the one or more CSI-RSs being quasi-collocated with a second port of the at least one synchronization signal;

receive at least one second measurement report of the one or more CSI-RSs;

select, based on the at least one second measurement report, at least one first CSI-RS of the one or more CSI-RSs; and

transmit a downlink control information initiating a random access procedure of the cell, the random access procedure being based on the at least one first CSI-RS.
