Abstract

A method for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetition via a plurality of transmission and reception points (TRPs) including receiving, by a wireless device, one or more configuration parameters indicating a time gap for switching between different spatial domain filters for uplink repetitions. The method may include receiving downlink control information (DCI) scheduling repetitions of a transport block. In an example, the DCI indicates a first spatial domain filter for a first repetition of the repetitions and a second spatial domain filter for a second repetition of the repetitions. The method may include transmitting, with the second spatial domain filter, the second repetition starting from a starting symbol determined based on a last symbol of the first repetition and the time gap.

Claims (52)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more configuration parameters indicating a time gap for switching between different spatial domain filters for uplink repetitions;

receiving downlink control information (DCI) scheduling repetitions of a transport block, wherein the DCI indicates:

a first spatial domain filter for a first repetition of the repetitions; and

a second spatial domain filter for a second repetition of the repetitions; and

transmitting, with the second spatial domain filter, the second repetition starting from a starting symbol determined based on a last symbol of the first repetition and the time gap.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first spatial domain filter is different from the second spatial domain filter.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI further indicates a first starting symbol of the first repetition.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising transmitting, with the first spatial domain filter, the first repetition of the transport block based on the first starting symbol.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting one or more second configuration parameters indicating a minimum gap.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the minimum gap indicates at least one of:

a panel activation latency;

a timing advance adjustment;

a power adjustment latency; or

a power transient gap.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the time gap is a minimum gap between a last symbol of a first uplink transmission associated with a first transmission-and-reception point (TRP) and a starting symbol of a second uplink transmission associated with a second TRP.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein:

the first uplink transmission is the first repetition of the transport block; and

the second uplink transmission is the second repetition of the transport block.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the repetitions of the transport block are Type B physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetitions.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the repetitions of the transport block are Type A physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetitions.

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 configuration parameters indicating a time gap for switching between different spatial domain filters for uplink repetitions;

receive downlink control information (DCI) scheduling repetitions of a transport block, wherein the DCI indicates:

a first spatial domain filter for a first repetition of the repetitions; and

a second spatial domain filter for a second repetition of the repetitions; and

transmit, with the second spatial domain filter, the second repetition starting from a starting symbol determined based on a last symbol of the first repetition and the time gap.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first spatial domain filter is different from the second spatial domain filter.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the DCI further indicates a first starting symbol of the first repetition.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the memory further storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to transmit, with the first spatial domain filter, the first repetition of the transport block based on the first starting symbol.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the memory further storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to transmit one or more second configuration parameters indicating a minimum gap.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the minimum gap indicates at least one of:

a panel activation latency;

a timing advance adjustment;

a power adjustment latency; or

a power transient gap.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the time gap is a minimum gap between a last symbol of a first uplink transmission associated with a first transmission-and-reception point (TRP) and a starting symbol of a second uplink transmission associated with a second TRP.

18. The wireless device of claim 17 , wherein:

the first uplink transmission is the first repetition of the transport block; and

the second uplink transmission is the second repetition of the transport block.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the repetitions of the transport block are Type B physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetitions.

20. A system comprising:

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

transmit one or more configuration parameters indicating a time gap for switching between different spatial domain filters for uplink repetitions; and

transmit downlink control information (DCI) scheduling repetitions of a transport block, wherein the DCI indicates:

a first spatial domain filter for a first repetition of the repetitions; and

a second spatial domain filter for a second repetition of the repetitions; and

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

receive the one or more configuration parameters and the DCI; and

transmit, with the second spatial domain filter, the second repetition starting from a starting symbol determined based on a last symbol of the first repetition and the time gap.
