Abstract

One or more transmission parameters for data transmission may be determined for wireless communications. A wireless device may determine transmission parameters for data transmission based on configuration associated with control signaling. For example, the transmission parameters (e.g., transmission beam, transmission power, etc.) may be determined based on a selected spatial relation, among multiple spatial relations, corresponding to a control channel.

Claims (33)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, downlink control information (DCI) scheduling transmission via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource of a cell;

determining a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource, among one or more PUCCH resources, associated with a lowest PUCCH resource index; and

based on the determined PUCCH resource being activated with at least two spatial relations, sending, via the PUSCH resource, a transport block using a transmission power determined based on a signal strength of a reference signal indicated by a first spatial relation in an ordered set comprising the at least two spatial relations.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining one or more transmission parameters based on the reference signal indicated by the first spatial relation wherein the sending the transport block comprises sending the transport block using the one or more transmission parameters.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sending the transport block comprises sending the transport block using a spatial domain transmission filter determined based on a spatial domain filter used to receive or transmit a reference signal indicated by the first spatial relation.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the PUCCH resource is based on determining that the DCI does not comprise an indication of a spatial relation.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving an activation command activating, for the determined PUCCH resource, the at least two spatial relations.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the first spatial relation is associated with a first transmission and reception point (TRP) of the cell; and

a second spatial relation in the ordered set comprising the at least two spatial relations is associated with a second TRP of the cell.

7. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, downlink control information (DCI) scheduling transmission via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource of a cell;

determining a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource, among one or more PUCCH resources, associated with a lowest PUCCH resource index; and

based on the PUCCH resource being activated with at least two spatial relations, sending, via the PUSCH resource, a transport block using a transmission power determined based on a signal strength of a reference signal indicated by a spatial relation, among the at least two spatial relations, associated with a lowest spatial relation index among spatial relation indexes of the at least two spatial relations.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the spatial relation comprises a first spatial relation in an ordered set comprising the at least two spatial relations.

9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising determining one or more transmission parameters based on the reference signal indicated by the spatial relation wherein the sending the transport block comprises sending the transport block using the one or more transmission parameters.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the sending the transport block comprises using a spatial domain transmission filter determined based on a spatial domain filter used to receive or transmit a reference signal indicated by the spatial relation.

11. The method of claim 7 , further comprising receiving an activation command activating, for the determined PUCCH resource, the at least two spatial relations.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein:

the spatial relation is associated with a first transmission and reception point (TRP) of the cell; and

a second spatial relation among the at least two spatial relations is associated with a second TRP of the cell.

13. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, downlink control information (DCI) scheduling transmission via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource of a cell;

determining a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource, among one or more PUCCH resources, associated with a lowest PUCCH resource index; and

based on the PUCCH resource being activated with a spatial relation that is associated with at least two reference signals, sending, via the PUSCH resource, a transport block using one or more transmission parameters determined based on a reference signal, among the at least two reference signals, associated with a lowest reference signal index among reference signal indexes of the at least two reference signals.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the PUCCH resource is activated with at least two spatial relations comprising the spatial relation, wherein the spatial relation is associated with a lowest spatial relation index among spatial relation indexes of the at least two spatial relations.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the one or more transmission parameters comprises a spatial domain transmission filter, and wherein the method further comprises determining the spatial domain transmission filter based on a spatial domain filter used to receive or transmit the reference signal.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the one or more transmission parameters comprises a transmission power, and wherein the method further comprises determining the transmission power based on a signal strength of the reference signal as received by the wireless device.

17. The method of claim 13 , wherein the reference signal is a first reference signal in an ordered set comprising the at least two reference signals.

18. The method of claim 13 , wherein the determining the PUCCH resource is based on determining that the DCI does not comprise an indication of a spatial relation.

19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the PUCCH resource is based on determining that the DCI corresponds to a first DCI format.

20. The method of claim 7 , wherein the determining the PUCCH resource is based on determining that the DCI corresponds to a first DCI format.
