Abstract

A wireless device receives configuration parameters of a bandwidth part comprising resource block (RB) sets, wherein control channel elements (CCEs) are across the RB sets and a subset of the CCEs, within each RB set of the RB sets, are indexed from a same initial value. Control information is received via one or more CCEs of a first subset, of the CCEs, within an RB set of the RB sets. The wireless device transmits a signal via an uplink resource based on an index of a CCE of the one or more CCEs.

Claims (52)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, configuration parameters of a control resource set in a bandwidth part (BWP), wherein:

the control resource set comprises control channel elements (CCEs) across a first resource block (RB) set of the BWP and a second RB set of the BWP;

the first RB set comprises a first subset of the CCEs, wherein first index values of the first subset start from a first initial value; and

the second RB set comprises a second subset of the CCEs, wherein second index values of the second subset start from a second initial value that is the same as the first initial value;

receiving a control information via one or more CCEs of the first subset; and

transmitting a signal via an uplink resource based on an index of a CCE of the one or more CCEs of the first subset, wherein the index is determined based on the first index values of the first subset starting from the first initial value that is the same as the second initial value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first initial value and the second initial value are each zero, and wherein the first indexes of the first subset and the second indexes of the second subset are each in an ascending order.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters further indicate that a frequency domain resource allocation pattern of the control resource set is replicated for each of the first RB set and the second RB set, and wherein physical radio resources of the CCEs of the control resource set are mapped to the first RB set and the second RB set.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the uplink resource is determined further based on a total number of the first subset of the CCEs, within the first RB set, associated with the control resource set.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters indicate one or more RB sets, comprising the first RB set, for a search space associated with the control resource set.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the search space comprises the one or more CCEs of the first subset of the CCEs associated with the control resource set within the first RB set.

7. The method claim 5 , wherein the search space, associated with the control resource set, is configured with one or more monitoring frequency location indications, each frequency location indication corresponding to a respective RB set of RB sets of the BWP, wherein the RB sets comprise the first RB set and the second RB set.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink resource is determined based on:

a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource index indicated by the control information; and

a PUCCH resource index offset determined based on the index of the CCE.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CCE is a starting CCE of the one or more CCEs.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a second control information via one or more second CCEs of the second subset, of the CCEs, within the second RB set; and

transmitting a second signal via a second uplink resource based on a second index of a CCE of the one or more second CCEs of the second subset, wherein the second index is determined based on the second index values of the second subset starting from the second initial value that is the same as the first initial value.

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 configuration parameters of a control resource set in a bandwidth part (BWP), wherein:

the control resource set comprises control channel elements (CCEs) across a first resource block (RB) set of the BWP and a second RB set of the BWP;

the first RB set comprises a first subset of the CCEs, wherein first index values of the first subset start from a first initial value; and

the second RB set comprises a second subset of the CCEs, wherein second index values of the second subset start from a second initial value that is the same as the first initial value;

receive a control information via one or more CCEs of the first subset; and

transmit a signal via an uplink resource based on an index of a CCE of the one or more CCEs of the first subset, wherein the index is determined based on the first index values of the first subset starting from the first initial value that is the same as the second initial.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first initial value and the second initial value are each zero, and wherein the first indexes of the first subset and the second indexes of the second subset are each in an ascending order.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the configuration parameters further indicate that a frequency domain resource allocation pattern of the control resource set is replicated for each of the first RB set and the second RB set, and wherein physical radio resources of the CCEs of the control resource set are mapped to the first RB set and the second RB set.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the configuration parameters indicate one or more RB sets comprising the first RB set, for a search space associated with the control resource set.

15. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the search space comprises the one or more CCEs of the first subset of the CCEs associated with the control resource set within the first RB set.

16. The wireless device claim 14 , wherein the search space, associated with the control resource set, is configured with one or more monitoring frequency location indications, each frequency location indication corresponding to a respective RB set of RB sets of the BWP, wherein the RB sets comprise the first RB set and the second RB set.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the uplink resource is determined based on:

a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource index indicated by the control information; and

a PUCCH resource index offset determined based on the index of the CCE.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the CCE is a starting CCE of the one or more CCEs.

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

receive a second control information via one or more second CCEs of the second subset, of the CCEs, within the second RB set; and

transmit a second signal via a second uplink resource based on a second index of a CCE of the one or more second CCEs of the second subset, wherein the second index is determined based on the second index values of the second subset starting from the second initial value that is the same as the first initial value.

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 configuration parameters of a control resource set in a bandwidth part (BWP), wherein:

the control resource set comprises control channel elements (CCEs) across a first resource block (RB) set of the BWP and a second RB set of the BWP;

the first RB set comprises a first subset of the CCEs, wherein first index values of the first subset start from a first initial value; and

the second RB set comprises a second subset of the CCEs, wherein second index values of the second subset start from a second initial value that is the same as the first initial value;

transmit a control information via one or more CCEs of the first subset; 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 configuration parameters;

transmit a signal via an uplink resource based on an index of a CCE of the one or more CCEs of the first subset, wherein the index is determined based on the first index values of the first subset starting from the first initial value that is the same as the second initial.
