Abstract

A wireless device receives a downlink control information indicating: a transmit power control (TPC) command; and first resource blocks (RBs). A determination is made, based on the TPC command, of a transmission power. The transmission power is used for transmission of: an uplink signal; and one or more transport blocks. A transmission, based on a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure, is performed with the transmission power and via subcarriers of the first RBs: the uplink signal until a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) starting symbol; and the one or more transport blocks starting at the PUSCH starting symbol.

Claims (40)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, a downlink control information indicating:

a transmit power control (TPC) command; and

first resource blocks (RBs);

determining, based on the TPC command, a transmission power used for transmission of:

an uplink signal; and

one or more transport blocks; and

transmitting, based on a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure, with the transmission power and via subcarriers of the first RBs:

the uplink signal until a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) starting symbol; and

the one or more transport blocks starting at the PUSCH starting symbol.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink signal is transmitted at a beginning subframe of an uplink burst during one or more subframes.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising receiving, from a base station, an indication configuring a starting time for the uplink signal.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the uplink signal has a predetermined format.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink signal has a predetermined format.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, from a base station, an indication configuring a starting time for the uplink signal.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink control information (DCI) further indicates the PUSCH starting symbol.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving one or more messages comprising configuration parameters of an unlicensed cell, wherein the one or more messages comprise one or more uplink power control parameters of the unlicensed cell for transmission of the one or more transport blocks.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the transmission power further comprises adjusting a power of the uplink signal and the one or more transport blocks with a same adjusting factor.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink signal is transmitted to reserve a channel.

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 a downlink control information indicating:

a transmit power control (TPC) command; and

first resource blocks (RBs);

determine, based on the TPC command, a transmission power used for transmission of:

an uplink signal; and

one or more transport blocks; and

transmit, based on a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure, with the transmission power and via subcarriers of the first RBs:

the uplink signal until a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) starting symbol; and

the one or more transport blocks starting at the PUSCH starting symbol.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the uplink signal is transmitted at a beginning subframe of an uplink burst during one or more subframes.

13. The wireless device of claim 12 , further comprising receiving, from a base station, an indication configuring a starting time for the uplink signal.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the uplink signal has a predetermined format.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the uplink signal has a predetermined format.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive, from a base station, an indication configuring a starting time for the uplink signal.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the downlink control information (DCI) further indicates the PUSCH starting symbol.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive one or more messages comprising configuration parameters of an unlicensed cell, wherein the one or more messages comprise one or more uplink power control parameters of the unlicensed cell for transmission of the one or more transport blocks.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the determination of the transmission power further comprises adjusting a power of the uplink signal and the one or more transport blocks with a same adjusting factor.

20. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the uplink signal is transmitted to reserve a channel.
