Abstract

A wireless device receives a message indicating that each bit of a dormancy indication bitmap corresponds to at least one cell of one or more secondary cells. The wireless device receives a first downlink control information comprising a first dormancy indication bitmap. The message indicates a correspondence between a first bit of the first dormancy indication bitmap and at least one first cell of the one or more secondary cells. The wireless device transitions the at least one first cell from a dormancy to a non-dormancy, based on the first bit having a first value.

Claims (72)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more radio resource control messages comprising a power saving radio network temporary identifier (PS-RNTI) for a power saving (PS) mode and a downlink control information (DCI), wherein the DCI comprises a plurality of blocks and notifies power saving information;

receiving, by the wireless device, a message indicating that each bit of a dormancy indication bitmap corresponds to at least one cell of one or more secondary cells;

receiving, based on the PS-RNTI, a first DCI comprising a first dormancy indication bitmap, wherein the message indicates a correspondence between a first bit of the first dormancy indication bitmap and at least one first cell of the one or more secondary cells;

determining the first DCI for indicating the PS mode based on a HARQ process number of the first DCI being set to a predefined value;

in response to determining the first DCI for indicating the PS mode, enabling the PS mode;

transitioning the at least one first cell from a dormancy to a non-dormancy, based on the first bit having a first value;

transitioning at least one second cell, of the one or more secondary cells, from a non-dormancy to a dormancy, in response to:

the first dormancy indication bitmap comprising a second bit corresponding to the at least one second cell; and

the second bit having a second value different from the first value;

reporting channel quality indicator (CQI)/precoding matrix indicator (PMI)/rank indicator (RI)/precoding type indicator (PTI)/channel state information-reference signal resource indicator (CRI) for the at least one second cell according to a periodicity configured for the at least one second cell, in response to the at least one second cell being transitioned to the dormancy;

receiving a second DCI indicating disabling the PS mode; and

in response to one or more fields of the second DCI being set to a predetermined value, switching, by the wireless device, from the PS mode to a normal access mode.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the dormancy of the at least one first cell is a power saving state of the at least one first cell; and

the non-dormancy of the at least one first cell is a non-power saving state of the at least one first cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising monitoring, by the wireless device, a control channel of the at least one first cell after the transitioning to the non-dormancy.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the monitoring is in response to the transitioning.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the wireless device does not monitor the control channel of the at least one first cell before the transitioning to the non-dormancy.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message is a radio resource control message.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message comprises a primary cell configuration of a primary cell and one or more secondary cells configurations of the one or more secondary cells.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a third DCI comprising a second dormancy indication bitmap comprising the first bit; and

transitioning the at least one first cell from the non-dormancy to the dormancy based on the first bit having a second value different from the first value.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

skipping monitoring one or more PS signal according to one or more PS signal parameters, in response to disabling the PS mode.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device skips monitoring physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a discontinuous reception (DRX) active time of a DRX cycle in the PS mode.

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 one or more radio resource control messages comprising a power saving radio network temporary identifier (PS-RNTI) for a power saving (PS) mode, and a downlink control information (DCI), wherein the DCI comprises a plurality of blocks and notifies power saving information;

receive a message indicating that each bit of a dormancy indication bitmap corresponds to at least one cell of one or more secondary cells;

receive, based on the PS-RNTI, a first DCI comprising a first dormancy indication bitmap, wherein the message indicates a correspondence between a first bit of the first dormancy indication bitmap and at least one first cell of the one or more secondary cells;

determine the first DCI for indicating the PS mode based on a HARQ process number of the first DCI being set to a predefined value;

in response to determining the first DCI for indicating the PS mode, enable the PS mode;

transition the at least one first cell from a dormancy to a non-dormancy, based on the first bit having a first value;

transition at least one second cell, of the one or more secondary cells, from a non-dormancy to a dormancy, in response to:

the first dormancy indication bitmap comprising a second bit corresponding to the at least one second cell; and

the second bit having a second value different from the first value;

report channel quality indicator (CQI)/precoding matrix indicator (PMI)/rank indicator (RI)/precoding type indicator (PTI)/channel state information-reference signal resource indicator (CRI) for the at least one second cell according to a periodicity configured for the at least one second cell, in response to the at least one second cell being transitioned to the dormancy;

receive a second DCI indicating disabling the PS mode; and

in response to one or more fields of the second DCI being set to a predetermined value, switch, by the wireless device, from the PS mode to a normal access mode.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein:

the dormancy of the at least one first cell is a power saving state of the at least one first cell; and

the non-dormancy of the at least one first cell is a non-power saving state of the at least one first cell.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to monitor a control channel of the at least one first cell after the transitioning to the non-dormancy.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the monitoring is in response to the transitioning.

15. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to not monitor the control channel of the at least one first cell before the transitioning to the non-dormancy.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the message comprises a primary cell configuration of a primary cell and one or more secondary cells configurations of the one or more secondary cells.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:
