Abstract

A wireless device receives configuration parameters of an unlicensed cell. The wireless device may receive a DCI indicating a downlink assignment or a release of a SPS configuration. The wireless device may transmit a HARQ feedback, associated with the DCI, via the unlicensed cell. The transmission of the HARQ feedback may be based on multiplexing the HARQ feedback in a first HARQ feedback codebook and using one or more first unlicensed parameters, for transmission via the unlicensed cell, in response to the DCI being associated with a first priority. The transmission of the HARQ feedback may be based on multiplexing the HARQ feedback in a second HARQ feedback codebook and using one or more second unlicensed parameters, for transmission via the unlicensed cell, in response to the DCI being associated with a second priority.

Claims (57)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, configuration parameters of an unlicensed cell;

receiving a downlink control information indicating an assignment for a downlink transport block (TB) or release of a first semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration;

wherein the downlink TB or the first SPS configuration is associated with one of a first priority and a second priority; and

transmitting a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback via the unlicensed cell and based on:

a first HARQ feedback codebook and one or more first unlicensed parameters in response to the downlink TB or the first SPS configuration being associated with the first priority; and

a second HARQ feedback codebook and one or more second unlicensed parameters in response to the downlink TB or the first SPS configuration being associated with the second priority.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the one or more first unlicensed parameters comprise one or more first listen-before-talk (LBT) parameters; and

the one or more second unlicensed parameters comprise one or more second LBT parameters.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising performing an LBT procedure, wherein:

the transmitting the HARQ feedback is based on the LBT procedure indicating a clear channel;

the LBT procedure is based on the one or more first LBT parameters in response to transmitting the HARQ feedback using the first HARQ feedback codebook; and

the LBT procedure is based on the one or more second LBT parameters in response to transmitting the HARQ feedback using the second HARQ feedback codebook.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

the assignment indicates radio resources for reception of the downlink TB; and

the HARQ feedback is for the downlink TB.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

the downlink control information comprises a field; and

a value of the field indicates one of the first priority and the second priority.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

the transmitting the HARQ feedback is in a first timing; and

the first timing is based on a value of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) to HARQ feedback timing field of the downlink control information.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising receiving a first configuration parameter indicating a subslot duration, wherein:

the transmitting the HARQ feedback is via an uplink channel; and

the first timing is further based on a numerology of the uplink channel and the subslot duration.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein:

the first configuration parameter indicates the sub slot duration in number of symbols; and

a duration of a symbol is based on the numerology of the uplink channel.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the first priority is associated with a first service type; and

the second priority is associated with a second service type.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the assignment indicates radio resources for reception of the downlink TB; and

the HARQ feedback is for the downlink TB.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the downlink control information comprises a field; and

a value of the field indicates one of the first priority and the second priority.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the transmitting the HARQ feedback is in a first timing; and

the first timing is based on a value of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) to HARQ feedback timing field of the downlink control information.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising receiving a first configuration parameter indicating a subslot duration, wherein:

the transmitting the HARQ feedback is via an uplink channel; and

the first timing is further based on a numerology of the uplink channel and the subslot duration.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein:

the first configuration parameter indicates the sub slot duration in number of symbols; and

a duration of a symbol is based on the numerology of the uplink channel.

15. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving first configuration parameters, of the first SPS configuration, comprising one or more parameters indicating that the first SPS configuration is associated with one of the first priority and the second priority.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the first HARQ feedback codebook comprises one or more first HARQ feedbacks associated with the first priority; and

the second HARQ feedback codebook comprises one or more second HARQ feedbacks associated with the second priority.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the downlink control information indicates activation of a second SPS configuration; and

the assignment is associated with the second SPS configuration.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising receiving second configuration parameters, of the second SPS configuration, comprising one or more parameters indicating that the second SPS configuration is associated with one of the first priority and the second priority.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the one or more parameters indicate that the second SPS configuration is associated with one of the first HARQ feedback codebook and the second HARQ feedback codebook.

20. The method of claim 17 , further comprising validating the downlink control information as a valid activation downlink control information for activation of a plurality of assignments comprising the assignment.
