Abstract

A wireless device receives a downlink control information (DCI) comprising a first field indicating a transition of a cell to a dormant state and a second field indicating a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback timing. The wireless device transmits, in response to the DCI indicating the transition and via a physical uplink control channel resource, a positive acknowledgement of a reception of the DCI at a time interval based on the HARQ feedback timing.

Claims (39)

1. A method, comprising:

transmitting, from a base station to a wireless device, a downlink control information (DCI), the DCI comprising:

a first field indicating a transition of a cell to a dormant state; and

a second field indicating a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback timing; and

receiving from the wireless device, in response to the DCI indicating the transition, a positive acknowledgement of a reception of the DCI at a time interval based on the HARQ feedback timing.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI is of a DCI format 1_1, the DCI comprising a bandwidth part identifier indicating an active bandwidth part of the cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the base station receives one or more uplink control information (UCI) bits, the one or more UCI bits comprising a bit indicating the positive acknowledgement.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI indicates the transition of the cell to the dormant state in response to the first field being set to a predefined value.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the predefined value is a value of all bits of the first field being set to one.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transition of the cell to the dormant state comprises switching an active bandwidth part of the cell from a first bandwidth of the cell to a second bandwidth part of the cell for the wireless device.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI does not schedule a reception via a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the base station determines a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource based on a PUCCH resource index indicated by a third field of the DCI.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the base station during the dormant state, channel state information report for the cell.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dormant state is a time duration during which the base station performs at least one of:

stopping transmitting to the wireless device downlink control channels on an active downlink bandwidth part of the cell;

stopping receiving from the wireless device uplink channels or signals on an active uplink bandwidth part of the cell; or

receiving from the wireless device channel state information report for the cell.

11. A base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

transmit to a wireless device, a downlink control information (DCI), the DCI comprising:

a first field indicating a transition of a cell to a dormant state; and

a second field indicating a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback timing; and

receive from the wireless device, in response to the DCI indicating the transition and via a physical uplink control channel resource, a positive acknowledgement of a reception of the DCI at a time interval based on the HARQ feedback timing.

12. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the DCI is of a DCI format 1_1, the DCI comprising a bandwidth part identifier indicating an active bandwidth part of the cell.

13. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the base station receives one or more uplink control information (UCI) bits, the one or more UCI bits comprising a bit indicating the positive acknowledgement.

14. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the DCI indicates the transition of the cell to the dormant state in response to the first field being set to a predefined value.

15. The base station of claim 14 , wherein the predefined value is a value of all bits of the first field being set to one.

16. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the transition of the cell to the dormant state comprises switching an active bandwidth part of the cell from a first bandwidth of the cell to a second bandwidth part of the cell for the wireless device.

17. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the DCI does not schedule a reception via a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

18. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the base station determines a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource based on a PUCCH resource index indicated by a third field of the DCI.

19. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to receive, during the dormant state, a channel state information report for the cell.

20. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, a downlink control information (DCI), the DCI comprising: a first field indicating frequency domain resource assignment; and

a second field indicating a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback timing;

determining whether the DCI indicates a transition of a cell to a dormant state based on a value of the first field being set to a predefined value; and

in response to determining that the DCI indicates the transition of the cell to the dormant state:

transitioning the cell to the dormant state; and

transmitting a positive acknowledgement of a reception of the DCI at a time interval based on the HARQ feedback timing.
