Abstract

A wireless device transmits, to a base station, at least one first measurement report of at least one synchronization signal of a cell. An indication, of one or more channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs) of the cell, is received from the base station based on: the at least one first measurement report. and a first antenna port of the one or more CSI-RSs being quasi-collocated with a second port of the at least one synchronization signal. Based on the indication, at least one second measurement report of the one or more CSI-RSs is transmitted. Based on the at least one second measurement report, a downlink control information is received that initiates a random access procedure of the cell based on at least one first CSI-RS from the one or more CSI-RSs.

Claims (42)

1. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a wireless device to a base station, at least one first measurement report of at least one synchronization signal of a cell;

receiving, from the base station, an indication of one or more channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs), of the cell, based on:

the at least one first measurement report; and

a first antenna port of the one or more CSI-RSs being quasi-collocated with a second port of the at least one synchronization signal;

transmitting, based on the indication, at least one second measurement report of the one or more CSI-RSs; and

receiving, based on the at least one second measurement report, a downlink control information initiating a random access procedure of the cell based on at least one first CSI-RS from the one or more CSI-RSs.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cell is a secondary cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first measurement report indicates at least one first index of the at least one synchronization signal.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first measurement report indicates at least one first received signal strength of the at least one synchronization signal.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one second measurement report indicates at least one second index of a second CSI-RS selected from the one or more CSI-RSs.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the at least one second measurement report indicates at least one second received signal strength of the second CSI-RS.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, from the base station and via the cell, the at least one synchronization signal, wherein each of the at least one synchronization signal comprises a primary synchronization signal and a secondary synchronization signal.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink control information is scrambled by a cell radio network temporary identifier.

9. 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:

transmit, to a base station, at least one first measurement report of at least one synchronization signal of a cell;

receive, from the base station, an indication of one or more channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs), of the cell, based on:

the at least one first measurement report; and

a first antenna port of the one or more CSI-RSs being quasi-collocated with a second port of the at least one synchronization signal;

transmit, based on the indication, at least one second measurement report of the one or more CSI-RSs; and

receive, based on the at least one second measurement report, a downlink control information initiating a random access procedure of the cell based on at least one first CSI-RS from the one or more CSI-RSs.

10. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the cell is a secondary cell.

11. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one first measurement report indicates at least one first index of the at least one synchronization signal.

12. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one first measurement report indicates at least one first received signal strength of the at least one synchronization signal.

13. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one second measurement report indicates at least one second index of a second CSI-RS selected from the one or more CSI-RSs.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the at least one second measurement report indicates at least one second received signal strength of the second CSI-RS.

15. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive, from the base station and via the cell, the at least one synchronization signal, and wherein each of the at least one synchronization signal comprises a primary synchronization signal and a secondary synchronization signal.

16. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the downlink control information is scrambled by a cell radio network temporary identifier.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless device, cause the wireless device to:

transmit, to a base station, at least one first measurement report of at least one synchronization signal of a cell;

receive, from the base station, an indication of one or more channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs), of the cell, based on:

the at least one first measurement report; and

a first antenna port of the one or more CSI-RSs being quasi-collocated with a second port of the at least one synchronization signal;

transmit, based on the indication, at least one second measurement report of the one or more CSI-RSs; and

receive, based on the at least one second measurement report, a downlink control information initiating a random access procedure of the cell based on at least one first CSI-RS from the one or more CSI-RSs.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the at least one first measurement report indicates at least one of:

one first index of the at least one synchronization signal; or

at least one first received signal strength of the at least one synchronization signal.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the at least one second measurement report indicates at least one second index of a second CSI-RS selected from the one or more CSI-RSs and at least one second received signal strength of the second CSI-RS.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive, from the base station and via the cell, the at least one synchronization signal, and wherein each of the at least one synchronization signal comprises a primary synchronization signal and a secondary synchronization signal.
