Abstract

A wireless device may determine that a reference signal associated with a first control resource set (coreset) pool index overlaps in time with a downlink signal associated with a second coreset pool index. Based on the first coreset pool index and the second coreset pool index being the same, the wireless device may receive the reference signal with a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state of the downlink signal.

Claims (40)

1. A method comprising:

determining, by a wireless device, that a reference signal associated with a first control resource set (coreset) pool index overlaps in time with a downlink signal associated with a second coreset pool index, wherein:

the first coreset pool index is associated with a plurality of first coresets with a plurality of first coreset indexes; and

the second coreset pool index is associated with a plurality of second coresets with a plurality of second coreset indexes; and

based on the first coreset pool index and the second coreset pool index being the same, receiving the reference signal with a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state of the downlink signal.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference signal is an aperiodic channel state information reference signal.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, via a first coreset with the first coreset pool index, first downlink control information (DCI) triggering transmission of the reference signal.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising receiving, via a second coreset with the second coreset pool index, second DCI scheduling the downlink signal.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein a scheduling offset between the first DCI and the reference signal is less than a beam switch timing threshold.

6. The method of claim 3 , determining that a scheduling offset between the first DCI and the reference signal is less than a beam switch timing threshold.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, from a base station, one or more configuration parameters indicating one or more trigger states of transmission of the reference signal.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining that a second reference signal associated with a third coreset pool index overlaps in time with a second downlink signal associated with a fourth coreset pool index; and

based on the third coreset pool index and the fourth coreset pool index being different, dropping at least one of:

the second reference signal; or

the second downlink signal.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink signal is a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission or a second reference signal.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference signal and the downlink signal overlapping in time comprises the reference signal and the downlink signal overlapping in at least one symbol.

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:

determine that a reference signal associated with a first control resource set (coreset) pool index overlaps in time with a downlink signal associated with a second coreset pool index, wherein:

the first coreset pool index is associated with a plurality of first coresets with a plurality of first coreset indexes; and

the second coreset pool index is associated with a plurality of second coresets with a plurality of second coreset indexes; and

based on the first coreset pool index and the second coreset pool index being the same, receive the reference signal with a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state of the downlink signal.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the reference signal is an aperiodic channel state information reference signal.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive, via a first coreset with the first coreset pool index, first downlink control information (DCI) triggering transmission of the reference signal.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive, via a second coreset with the second coreset pool index, second DCI scheduling the downlink signal.

15. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein a scheduling offset between the first DCI and the reference signal is less than a beam switch timing threshold.

16. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to determine that a scheduling offset between the first DCI and the reference signal is less than a beam switch timing threshold.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to determine receive, from a base station, one or more configuration parameters indicating one or more trigger states of transmission of the reference signal.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to, based on the first coreset pool index and the second coreset pool index being different, drop at least one of:

the reference signal; or

the downlink signal.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the downlink signal is a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission or a second reference signal.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

determine that a reference signal associated with a first control resource set (coreset) pool index overlaps in time with a downlink signal associated with a second coreset pool index wherein:

the first coreset pool index is associated with a plurality of first coresets with a plurality of first coreset indexes; and

the second coreset pool index is associated with a plurality of second coresets with a plurality of second coreset indexes; and

based on the first coreset pool index and the second coreset pool index being the same, receive the reference signal with a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state of the downlink signal.
