Abstract

A wireless device receives one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages. The one or more RRC messages comprise configuration parameters, for physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), indicating: a plurality of power control parameter sets; and a plurality of pathloss reference signals (RSs). A medium access control control element (MAC CE) is received. The MAC CE indicates: an identity of a power control parameter set of the plurality of power control parameter sets; and a pathloss RS, of the plurality of pathloss RSs, associated with the power control parameter set. A downlink control information is received. The downlink control information indicates: the identity of the power control parameter set; and one or more uplink resources of the PUSCH. A transport block with a transmission power determined based on the pathloss RS associated with the power control parameter set is transmitted via the one or more uplink resources.

Claims (71)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters, for physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), indicating:

a plurality of power control parameter sets; and

a plurality of pathloss reference signals (RSs);

receiving a medium access control control element (MAC CE) indicating:

an identity of a power control parameter set of the plurality of power control parameter sets; and

a pathloss RS, of the plurality of pathloss RSs, associated with the power control parameter set;

receiving a downlink control information indicating:

the identity of the power control parameter set; and

one or more uplink resources of the PUSCH; and

transmitting, via the one or more uplink resources, a transport block with a transmission power determined based on the pathloss RS associated with the power control parameter set.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of power control parameter sets comprises an identifier of one of the plurality of pathloss RSs.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the power control parameter set comprises an identifier of the pathloss RS.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of power control parameter sets comprises one or more of:

an identifier of a pathloss RS of the plurality of pathloss RSs;

an identifier of an alpha set for a PUSCH pathloss estimation; and

an identifier of a closed loop power control index for the PUSCH pathloss estimation.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink control information comprises a sounding reference signal resource indicator.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the sounding reference signal resource indicator indicates the power control parameter set.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MAC CE comprises a serving cell identity.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more uplink resources comprise:

one or more frequency domain resources; and

one or more time domain resources.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identity of the power control parameter set comprise an index of the power control parameter set.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the transmission power based on the power control parameter set.

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 radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters, for physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), indicating:

a plurality of power control parameter sets; and

a plurality of pathloss reference signals (RSs);

receive a medium access control control element (MAC CE) indicating:

an identity of a power control parameter set of the plurality of power control parameter sets; and

a pathloss RS, of the plurality of pathloss RSs, associated with the power control parameter set;

receive a downlink control information indicating:

the identity of the power control parameter set; and

one or more uplink resources of the PUSCH; and

transmit, via the one or more uplink resources, a transport block with a transmission power determined based on the pathloss RS associated with the power control parameter set.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein each of the plurality of power control parameter sets comprises an identifier of one of the plurality of pathloss RSs.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the power control parameter set comprises an identifier of the pathloss RS.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein each of the plurality of power control parameter sets comprises one or more of:

an identifier of a pathloss RS of the plurality of pathloss RSs;

an identifier of an alpha set for a PUSCH pathloss estimation; and

an identifier of a closed loop power control index for the PUSCH pathloss estimation.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the downlink control information comprises a sounding reference signal resource indicator.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the sounding reference signal resource indicator indicates the power control parameter set.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the MAC CE comprises a serving cell identity.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more uplink resources comprise:

one or more frequency domain resources; and

one or more time domain resources.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the identity of the power control parameter set comprise an index of the power control parameter set.

20. A system comprising:

a plurality of power control parameter sets; and

a plurality of pathloss reference signals (RSs);

transmit a medium access control control element (MAC CE) indicating:

an identity of a power control parameter set of the plurality of power control parameter sets; and

a pathloss RS, of the plurality of pathloss RSs, associated with the power control parameter set; and

transmit a downlink control information indicating:

the identity of the power control parameter set; and

one or more uplink resources of the PUSCH; and

a wireless device comprising:
