Abstract

A wireless device receives a first message indicating a first transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state being applicable at a first time for receiving a downlink control channel. A second message is received and indicates a common TCI state being applicable at a second time for: receiving the downlink control channel; and receiving downlink data via a downlink shared channel. The wireless device determines that the second message is received after the first message and that the second time is earlier than the first time. Based on the determining, the downlink control channel is received based on the common TCI state and the downlink data is received via the downlink shared channel based on the common TCI state.

Claims (58)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, a first message indicating a first transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state being applicable at a first time for receiving a downlink control channel;

receiving a second message indicating a common TCI state being applicable at a second time for:

receiving the downlink control channel; and

receiving downlink data via a downlink shared channel;

determining that:

the second message is received after the first message; and

the second time is earlier than the first time; and

based on the determining:

receiving, based on the common TCI state, the downlink control channel; and

receiving, based on the common TCI state, the downlink data via the downlink shared channel.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

based on the determining, ignoring the first message by not applying the first TCI state at the first time.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first message comprises a medium access control control element (MAC-CE) message.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second message comprises a downlink control information (DCI).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first time is a first duration after the receiving the first message, wherein the first duration is preconfigured for the wireless device.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first message further indicates a first duration, and wherein the first time is the first duration after the receiving the first message.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second time is a second duration after the second time.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the second duration is preconfigured for the wireless device.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the second message indicates the second duration.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the downlink control channel comprises monitoring the downlink control channel via one or more control resource sets based on the common TCI state.

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 a first message indicating a first transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state being applicable at a first time for receiving a downlink control channel;

receive a second message indicating a common TCI state being applicable at a second time for:

receiving the downlink control channel; and

receiving downlink data via a downlink shared channel;

determine that:

the second message is received after the first message; and

the second time is earlier than the first time; and

based on the determination:

receive, based on the common TCI state, the downlink control channel; and

receive, based on the common TCI state, the downlink data via the downlink shared channel.

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

based on the determination, ignore the first message by not applying the first TCI state at the first time.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first message comprises a medium access control control element (MAC-CE) message.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the second message comprises a downlink control information (DCI).

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first time is a first duration after the receiving the first message, wherein the first duration is preconfigured for the wireless device.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first message further indicates a first duration, and wherein the first time is the first duration after the receiving the first message.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the second time is a second duration after the second time.

18. The wireless device of claim 17 , wherein the second duration is preconfigured for the wireless device.

19. The wireless device of claim 17 , wherein the second message indicates the second duration.

20. A system comprising:

a base station comprising one or more first processors; and first memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the base station to:

transmit a first message indicating a first transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state being applicable at a first time for receiving a downlink control channel; and

transmit a second message indicating a common TCI state being applicable at a second time for:

receiving the downlink control channel; and

receiving downlink data via a downlink shared channel; and

a wireless device comprising one or more second processors; and second memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive the first message;

receive the second message;

determine that:

the second message is received after the first message; and

the second time is earlier than the first time; and

based on the determination:

receive, based on the common TCI state, the downlink control channel; and

receive, based on the common TCI state, the downlink data via the downlink shared channel.
