Abstract

A wireless device receives, from a base station, configuration parameters indicating a plurality of bandwidth parts of a cell. Power measurements that indicate a listen before talk (LBT) failure on each of the plurality of bandwidth parts are performed. a radio link failure of the cell is declared in response to the power measurements indicating the LBT failure on each of the plurality of bandwidth parts.

Claims (63)

1. A method comprising the following acts executed by a wireless device:

receiving, from a base station, configuration parameters indicating a plurality of bandwidth parts of a cell;

performing power measurements that indicate a listen before talk (LBT) failure on each of the plurality of bandwidth parts; and

declaring a radio link failure of the cell in response to the power measurements indicating the LBT failure on each of the plurality of bandwidth parts.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

receiving the configuration parameters comprises receiving one or more radio resource control messages comprising the configuration parameters;

the configuration parameters, for each of the plurality of bandwidth parts, comprise at least one of:

a subcarrier spacing;

a cyclic prefix;

a number of contiguous physical resource blocks (PRB);

an index for each of the plurality of bandwidth parts; or

an offset of a first PRB relative to a first PRB of bandwidth of the cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters indicate at least one of:

a plurality of radio link monitoring reference signals (RLM-RS); or

a monitoring priority order for each bandwidth part of the plurality of bandwidth parts of the cell.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters indicate at least a monitoring priority order for each bandwidth part of the plurality of bandwidth parts of the cell; and wherein the performing power measurements that indicate a LBT failure on each of the plurality of bandwidth parts is based on the monitoring priority order for each bandwidth part of the plurality of bandwidth parts.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the performance of the power measurements comprises performing a reference signal receive power (RSRP) measurement or a received power detection on each of the plurality of bandwidth parts.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the LBT failure on a bandwidth part of the plurality of bandwidth parts indicates a radio link monitoring reference signal (RLM-RS) not being transmitted on the bandwidth part of the plurality of bandwidth parts.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the LBT failure on a bandwidth part of the plurality of bandwidth parts indicates a low channel quality on a bandwidth part of the plurality of bandwidth parts.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the declaring the radio link failure comprises reporting out an of synchronization (OOS) status to a higher layer above a physical layer.

20. A system comprising:
