Abstract

A wireless device receives: a value for a discontinuous reception (DRX) inactivity timer; and a semi-persistent channel state information (SP-CSI) radio network temporary identifier (RNTI). receive a first downlink control information (DCI) corresponding to the SP-CSI RNTI is received. The SP-CSI RNTI indicates: activation of SP-CSI reporting; and no uplink grant for uplink packet transmission. The DRX inactivity timer is started based on the first DCI indicating the activation of the SP-CSI reporting. The DRX inactivity timer controls monitoring for DCIs of the SP-CSI RNTI. a transport block is transmitted based on receiving, while the DRX inactivity timer is running, a second DCI.

Claims (47)

1. A method by a wireless device, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, a value for a discontinuous reception (DRX) inactivity timer;

receiving, from the base station, a first downlink control information (DCI) corresponding to a semi-persistent channel state information (SP-CSI) radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), the first DCI including a CSI request and a value indicating

no uplink packet transmission;

transmitting, to the base station, an SP-CSI on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the first DCI; and

receiving, from the base station, a second DCI while the DRX inactivity timer is running based on the first DCI.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a plurality of CSI trigger states indicating a plurality of channel state information reporting configurations.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

measuring CSI reference signals, based on the plurality of CSI reporting configurations, in response to receiving the first DCI.

4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

monitoring a control channel in response to the DRX inactivity timer running.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first DCI indicates resources for transmission of the SP-CSI.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first DCI indicates transmission of the SP-CSI via the PUSCH.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device is in DRX active time in response to the DRX inactivity timer running.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

monitoring a control channel in response to the DRX inactivity timer running.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the base station, a transport block based on the second DCI.

10. A wireless device comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor, wherein the processor is configured to control to:

receive, from a base station, a value for a discontinuous reception (DRX) inactivity timer,

receive, from the base station, a first downlink control information (DCI) corresponding to a semi-persistent channel state information (SP-CSI) radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), the first DCI including a CSI request and a value indicating

no uplink packet transmission,

transmit, to the base station, an SP-CSI on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the first DCI, and

receive, from the base station, a second DCI while the DRX inactivity timer is running based on the first DCI.

11. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to control to receive a plurality of CSI trigger states indicating a plurality of CSI reporting configurations.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to control to measure CSI reference signals, based on the plurality of CSI reporting configurations, in response to receiving the first DCI.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to control to monitor a control channel in response to the DRX inactivity timer running.

14. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the first DCI indicates resources for transmission of the SP-CSI.

15. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the first DCI indicates transmission of the SP-CSI via the PUSCH.

16. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the wireless device is in DRX active time in response to the DRX inactivity timer running.

17. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to control to:

transmit, to the base station, a transport block based on the second DCI.

18. A method by a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a wireless device, a value for a discontinuous reception (DRX) inactivity timer;

transmitting, to the wireless device, a first downlink control information (DCI) corresponding to a semi-persistent channel state information (SP-CSI) radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), the first DCI including a CSI request and a value indicating no uplink packet transmission;

receiving, from the wireless device, a SP-CSI on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the first DCI; and

transmitting, to the wireless device, a second DCI while the DRX inactivity timer is running based on the first DCI.

19. A base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor, wherein the processor is configured to control to:

transmit, to a wireless device, a value for a discontinuous reception (DRX) inactivity timer,

transmit, to the wireless device, a first downlink control information (DCI) corresponding to a semi-persistent channel state information (SP-CSI) radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), the first DCI including a CSI request and a value indicating no uplink packet transmission,

receive, from the wireless device, a SP-CSI on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the first DCI, and

transmit, to the wireless device, a second DCI while the DRX inactivity timer is running based on the first DCI.
