Abstract

Wireless communications may be used to support data processing. A plurality of resources may be indicated for a wireless device to use to communicate and/or process data. Data may be received and processed based on groups of the plurality of resources to be used. For example, the plurality of resources to be used may be associated with different resource groups.

Claims (61)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, configuration parameters of a plurality of control resource sets (CORESETs) grouped into a plurality of control resource set (CORESET) groups;

receiving, via a channel associated with a first CORESET of the plurality of CORESETs, first downlink control information (DCI) indicating a first scheduled transmission of a first transport block (TB);

after receiving the first DCI and based on the first CORESET and a second CORESET of the plurality of CORESETs being in different CORESET groups, receiving, via a channel associated with the second CORESET, second DCI indicating a second scheduled transmission of a second TB, wherein the second scheduled transmission starts earlier than the first scheduled transmission;

receiving the second TB;

receiving the first TB; and

transmitting a first acknowledgment for the first TB and a second acknowledgement for the second TB.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

processing the second TB and the first TB such that the receiving the second TB and the receiving the first TB are based on the first CORESET and the second CORESET being in different CORESET groups.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the second TB starts earlier than a start of the receiving the first TB.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the second TB starts earlier than completion of the receiving the first TB.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the second TB is completed prior to a start of the receiving the first TB.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein completion of the receiving the second DCI is later than completion of the receiving the first DCI.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a first CORESET group associated with a first CORESET group index comprises the first CORESET, and wherein a second CORESET group associated with a second CORESET group index comprises the second CORESET.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the first acknowledgment for the first TB and the second acknowledgement for the second TB comprises: based on the first CORESET and the second CORESET being in different CORESET groups, transmitting the second acknowledgement prior to the transmitting the first acknowledgment.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the first acknowledgment for the first TB and the second acknowledgement for the second TB comprises: based on the first CORESET and the second CORESET being in different CORESET groups, transmitting the second acknowledgement after the transmitting the first acknowledgment.

10. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, configuration parameters of a plurality of control resource sets (CORESETs) grouped into a plurality of control resource set (CORESET) groups;

receiving, via a channel associated with a first CORESET of the plurality of CORESETs, first downlink control information (DCI) indicating a first scheduled transmission of a first transport block (TB);

after receiving the first DCI, receiving, via a channel associated with a second CORESET of the plurality of CORESETs, second DCI indicating a second scheduled transmission of a second TB, wherein the second scheduled transmission starts earlier than the first scheduled transmission;

based on the first CORESET and the second CORESET being in different CORESET groups, processing the second TB and the first TB; and

transmitting a first uplink signal associated with the first TB and a second uplink signal associated with the second TB.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the receiving the second DCI is based on the first CORESET and the second CORESET being in different CORESET groups.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the processing the second TB comprises at least one of:

receiving the second TB;

allocating the second TB to a second hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process different from a first HARQ process for the first TB;

decoding the second TB; or

generating the second uplink signal to transmit the second TB.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the processing the first TB comprises at least one of:

receiving the first TB;

allocating the first TB to a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process different from a second HARQ process for the second TB;

decoding the first TB; or

generating the first uplink signal to transmit the first TB.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first uplink signal comprises at least one of:

a first acknowledgment for the first TB; or

a first uplink shared channel signal comprising the first TB.

15. The method of claim 10 , further comprising: based on the first CORESET and the second CORESET being in different CORESET groups:

receiving the second TB based on the second DCI; and

receiving the first TB based on the first DCI.

16. The method of claim 10 , further comprising: based on the first CORESET and a third CORESET being in a same CORESET group:

receiving the first TB; and

dropping a third TB indicated by third DCI associated with the third CORESET.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the dropping the third TB comprises at least one of:

skipping allocating the third TB to a second hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process;

skipping decoding the third TB; or

skipping generating a third acknowledgement for the third TB.

18. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, configuration parameters of a plurality of control resource sets (CORESETs) grouped into a plurality of control resource set (CORESET) groups;

receiving, via a channel associated with a first CORESET of the plurality of CORESETs, first downlink control information (DCI) indicating a first scheduled transmission of a first transport block (TB);

receiving, via a channel associated with a second CORESET of the plurality of CORESETs, second DCI indicating a second scheduled transmission of a second TB, wherein the second scheduled transmission starts earlier than the first scheduled transmission; and

based on the first CORESET and the second CORESET being in different CORESET groups:

processing the second TB; and

processing the first TB after processing the second TB.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the processing the first TB comprises generating a first uplink signal to transmit the first TB, and wherein the processing the second TB comprises generating a second uplink signal to transmit the second TB.

20. The method of claim 18 , further comprising: based on the first CORESET and the second CORESET being in different CORESET groups:

transmitting the second TB based on the second DCI; and

transmitting the first TB based on the first DCI.

21. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of CORESETs are CORESETs of a same cell.

22. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the first scheduled transmission of the first TB is a first scheduled downlink transmission received by the wireless device; and

the second scheduled transmission of the second TB is a second scheduled downlink transmission received by the wireless device.
