Abstract

A wireless device receives a downlink control information (DCI) comprising a first field indicating a transition of a cell to a dormant state and a second field indicating a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback timing. The wireless device transmits, in response to the DCI indicating the transition and via a physical uplink control channel resource, a positive acknowledgement of a reception of the DCI at a time interval based on the HARQ feedback timing.

Claims (40)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, a downlink control information (DCI) comprising:

a first field indicating a transition of a cell to a dormant state; and

a second field indicating a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback timing; and

transmitting, in response to the DCI indicating the transition, a positive acknowledgement of a reception of the DCI at a time interval based on the HARQ feedback timing.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI is of a DCI format 1_1 comprising a bandwidth part identifier indicating an active bandwidth part of the cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device transmits one or more uplink control information (UCI) bits comprising a bit indicating the positive acknowledgement.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device determines that the DCI indicates the transition of the cell to the dormant state in response to the first field being set to a predefined value.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the predefined value is a value of all bits of the first field being set to one.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transition of the cell to the dormant state comprises switching an active bandwidth part of the cell from a first bandwidth part of the cell to a second bandwidth part of the cell.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI does not schedule a reception via a physical downlink shared channel, PDSCH.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device determines a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource based on a PUCCH resource index indicated by a third field of the DCI.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, by the wireless device during the dormant state, channel state information report for the cell.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dormant state is a time duration during which the wireless device performs at least one of:

stopping monitoring downlink control channels on an active downlink bandwidth part of the cell; and

stopping transmitting uplink channels or signals on an active uplink bandwidth part of the cell.

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 (DCI) comprising:

a first field indicating a transition of a cell to a dormant state; and

a second field indicating a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback timing; and

transmit, in response to the DCI indicating the transition and via a physical uplink control channel resource, a positive acknowledgement of a reception of the DCI at a time interval based on the HARQ feedback timing.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the DCI is of a DCI format 1_1 comprising a bandwidth part identifier indicating an active bandwidth part of the cell.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the wireless device transmits one or more uplink control information (UCI) bits comprising a bit indicating the positive acknowledgement.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the wireless device determines that the DCI indicates the transition of the cell to the dormant state in response to the first field being set to a predefined value.

15. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the predefined value is a value of all bits of the first field being set to one.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the transition of the cell to the dormant state comprises switching an active bandwidth part of the cell from a first bandwidth part of the cell to a second bandwidth part of the cell.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the DCI does not schedule a reception via a physical downlink shared channel, PDSCH.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the wireless device determines a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource based on a PUCCH resource index indicated by a third field of the DCI.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to transmit, during the dormant state, a channel state information report for the cell.

20. A system comprising:

a wireless device comprising one or more first processors and first memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive a downlink control information (DCI) comprising:

a first field indicating a transition of a cell to a dormant state; and

a second field indicating a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback timing; and

transmit, in response to the DCI indicating the transition and via a physical uplink control channel resource, a positive acknowledgement of a reception of the DCI at a time interval based on the HARQ feedback timing; and

a base station comprising one or more second processors and second memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the base station to:

transmit the DCI; and

receive the positive acknowledgement.
