Abstract

A wireless device may receive configuration parameters indicating a minimum scheduling offset value of a bandwidth part (BWP). The minimum scheduling offset value may be a minimum value of one or more possible scheduling offset values, in the time domain, between downlink control information (DCI) and a downlink data channel schedulable by the DCI. The wireless device may receive a first DCI comprising a BWP index of the BWP and a field indicating to apply the minimum scheduling offset value. The wireless device may receive a second DCI indicating a scheduling offset value between the second DCI and a downlink data channel scheduled by the second DCI. The scheduling offset value may be greater than, or equal to, the minimum scheduling offset value based on the field.

Claims (42)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, configuration parameters indicating a minimum scheduling offset value of a bandwidth part (BWP) of a cell, wherein the minimum scheduling offset value is a minimum value of one or more possible scheduling offset values, in a time domain, between downlink control information (DCI) and a downlink data channel schedulable by the DCI;

receiving a first DCI comprising:

a BWP index of the BWP; and

a field indicating whether to apply the minimum scheduling offset value, wherein the field being a first value indicates to apply the minimum scheduling offset value, and wherein the field being a second value indicates not to apply the minimum scheduling offset value;

receiving a second DCI indicating a scheduling offset value between the second DCI and a downlink data channel scheduled by the second DCI, wherein the scheduling offset value is greater than, or equal to, the minimum scheduling offset value based on the field; and

applying the scheduling offset value to determine a duration of micro-sleep after receiving the second DCI and responsive to the field being the first value.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters of a list of time-domain resource allocations, wherein each time-domain resource allocation, in the list, comprises a scheduling offset value between a DCI and downlink data scheduled by the DCI.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the wireless device determines, based on the field indicating to apply the minimum scheduling offset value, that the second DCI does not indicate one or more time-domain resource allocations, from the list, that are smaller than the minimum scheduling offset value.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a third DCI comprising the BWP index indicating the BWP and a field indicating not to apply the minimum scheduling offset value.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising receiving a fourth DCI indicating a second scheduling offset value, wherein the second scheduling offset value is greater than, or equal to, zero based on the field in the third DCI indicating not to apply the minimum scheduling offset value.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters comprise a parameter of the minimum scheduling value of the BWP of the cell.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising the configuration parameters.

8. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive configuration parameters indicating a minimum scheduling offset value of a bandwidth part (BWP) of a cell, wherein the minimum scheduling offset value is a minimum value of one or more possible scheduling offset values, in a time domain, between downlink control information (DCI) and a downlink data channel schedulable by the DCI;

receive a first DCI comprising:

a BWP index of the BWP; and

a field indicating whether to apply the minimum scheduling offset value, wherein the field being a first value indicates to apply the minimum scheduling offset value, and wherein the field being a second value indicates not to apply the minimum scheduling offset value;

receive a second DCI indicating a scheduling offset value between the second DCI and a downlink data channel scheduled by the second DCI, wherein the scheduling offset value is greater than, or equal to, the minimum scheduling offset value based on the field; and

apply the scheduling offset value to determine a duration of micro-sleep after receiving the second DCI and responsive to the field being the first value.

9. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters of a list of time-domain resource allocations, wherein each time-domain resource allocation, in the list, comprises a scheduling offset value between a DCI and downlink data scheduled by the DCI.

10. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to determine, based on the field indicating to apply the minimum scheduling offset value, that the second DCI does not indicate one or more time-domain resource allocations, from the list, that are smaller than the minimum scheduling offset value.

11. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive a third DCI comprising the BWP index indicating the BWP and a field indicating not to apply the minimum scheduling offset value.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive a fourth DCI indicating a second scheduling offset value, wherein the second scheduling offset value is greater than, or equal to, zero based on the field in the third DCI indicating not to apply the minimum scheduling offset value.

13. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the configuration parameters comprise a parameter of the minimum scheduling value of the BWP of the cell.

14. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising the configuration parameters.

15. A base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to:

transmit configuration parameters indicating a minimum scheduling offset value of a bandwidth part (BWP) of a cell, wherein the minimum scheduling offset value is a minimum value of one or more possible scheduling offset values, in a time domain, between downlink control information (DCI) and a downlink data channel schedulable by the DCI;

transmit a first DCI comprising:

a BWP index of the BWP; and

a field indicating whether to apply the minimum scheduling offset value, wherein the field being a first value indicates to apply the minimum scheduling offset value, and wherein the field being a second value indicates not to apply the minimum scheduling offset value; and

transmit a second DCI indicating a scheduling offset value between the second DCI and a downlink data channel scheduled by the second DCI, wherein the scheduling offset value is greater than, or equal to, the minimum scheduling offset value based on the field,

wherein the field being the first value and the scheduling offset value being greater than, or equal to, the minimum scheduling offset value is an indication to apply the scheduling offset value to determine a duration of micro-sleep.

16. The base station of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to transmit one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters of a list of time-domain resource allocations, wherein each time-domain resource allocation, in the list, comprises a scheduling offset value between a DCI and downlink data scheduled by the DCI.

17. The base station of claim 16 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to determine, based on the field indicating to apply the minimum scheduling offset value, that the second DCI does not indicate one or more time-domain resource allocations, from the list, that are smaller than the minimum scheduling offset value.

19. The base station of claim 18 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to transmit a fourth DCI indicating a second scheduling offset value, wherein the second scheduling offset value is greater than, or equal to, zero based on the field in the third DCI indicating not to apply the minimum scheduling offset value.
