Abstract

A wireless device activates one or more transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for decoding physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). A wireless device transmits a sounding reference signal (SRS) with a spatial domain transmission filter determined based on a reference signal in an activated TCI state, of the one or more TCI states, with the lowest TCI state index among one or more TCI state indexes of the one or more TCI states.

Claims (48)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more messages comprising one or more configuration parameters for a cell, wherein the one or more configuration parameters indicate:

transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for decoding physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource;

receiving a medium access control control element (MAC CE) activating one or more TCI states of the TCI states;

in response to the one or more configuration parameters not indicating a spatial relation for the SRS resource and not indicating a control resource set in the cell, determining a spatial domain transmission filter based on a reference signal in an activated TCI state, wherein the activated TCI state has the lowest TCI state index among one or more TCI state indexes of the one or more TCI states; and

transmitting, via the SRS resource, an SRS with the spatial domain transmission filter.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the spatial domain transmission filter is used for a reception of the reference signal.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TCI states are for decoding PDSCH in a downlink bandwidth part (BWP) of the cell.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising activating the downlink BWP as an active downlink BWP of the cell, wherein the activated TCI state is applicable to reception of the PDSCH in the downlink BWP of the cell.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the activated TCI state being applicable to the reception of the PDSCH comprises at least one demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) port of the PDSCH of the downlink BWP of the cell being quasi co-located with the reference signal in response to:

receiving a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling the PDSCH for the downlink BWP; and

the DCI indicating the activated TCI state.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters do not indicate beam management for a usage of the SRS resource.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cell operates in a frequency range 2.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters further indicate TCI state indexes for the TCI states.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the activated TCI state indicates a quasi co-location type (QCL type) for the reference signal, and wherein the QCL type is QCL type D.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein an active uplink BWP of the cell comprises the SRS resource.

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 messages comprising one or more configuration parameters for a cell, wherein the one or more configuration parameters indicate:

transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for decoding physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource;

receive a medium access control control element (MAC CE) activating one or more TCI states of the TCI states;

in response to the one or more configuration parameters not indicating a spatial relation for the SRS resource and not indicating a control resource set in the cell, determine a spatial domain transmission filter based on a reference signal in an activated TCI state, wherein the activated TCI state has the lowest TCI state index among one or more TCI state indexes of the one or more TCI states; and

transmit, via the SRS resource, an SRS with the spatial domain transmission filter.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the spatial domain transmission filter is used for a reception of the reference signal.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the TCI states are for decoding PDSCH in a downlink bandwidth part (BWP) of the cell.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to activate the downlink BWP as an active downlink BWP of the cell, wherein the activated TCI state is applicable to reception of the PDSCH in the downlink BWP of the cell.

15. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the activated TCI state being applicable to the reception of the PDSCH comprises at least one demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) port of the PDSCH of the downlink BWP of the cell being quasi co-located with the reference signal in response to the instructions further causing the wireless device to:

receive a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling the PDSCH for the downlink BWP; and

the DCI indicating the activated TCI state.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters do not indicate beam management for a usage of the SRS resource.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the cell operates in a frequency range 2.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the activated TCI state indicates a quasi co-location type (QCL type) for the reference signal, and wherein the QCL type is QCL type D.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein an active uplink BWP of the cell comprises the SRS resource.

20. A system comprising:

a base station;

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, from the base station, one or more messages comprising one or more configuration parameters for a cell, wherein the one or more configuration parameters indicate:

transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for decoding physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource;

receive, from the base station, a medium access control control element (MAC CE) activating one or more TCI states of the TCI states;

in response to the one or more configuration parameters not indicating a spatial relation for the SRS resource and not indicating a control resource set in the cell, determine a spatial domain transmission filter based on a reference signal in an activated TCI state, wherein the activated TCI state has the lowest TCI state index among one or more TCI state indexes of the one or more TCI states; and

transmit, to the base station and via the SRS resource, an SRS with the spatial domain transmission filter.
