Abstract

A base station may transmit, to a wireless device, a first downlink control information (DCI) associated with a first control resource set (coreset) pool index. The first DCI may trigger transmission of a reference signal. The base station may transmit, to the wireless device, a second DCI associated with a second coreset pool index. The second DCI may schedule a downlink signal with a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state. Based on the first coreset pool index and the second coreset pool index being the same, the base station may transmit, to the wireless device, the reference signal with the TCI state.

Claims (38)

1. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a base station and to a wireless device, a first downlink control information (DCI) associated with a first control resource set (coreset) pool index, the first DCI triggering transmission of a reference signal;

transmitting, to the wireless device, a second DCI associated with a second coreset pool index, the second DCI scheduling a downlink signal with a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state; and

based on the first coreset pool index and the second coreset pool index being the same, transmitting, to the wireless device, the reference signal with the TCI state.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference signal is an aperiodic channel state information reference signal.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a scheduling offset between the first DCI and the reference signal is less than a beam switch timing threshold of the wireless device.

4. The method of claim 1 , determining that a scheduling offset between the first DCI and the reference signal is less than a beam switch timing threshold of wireless device.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, via a first coreset with the first coreset pool index, the first DCI.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising transmitting, via a second coreset with the second coreset pool index, the second DCI.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference signal and the downlink signal overlap in time.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the reference signal and the downlink signal overlapping in time comprises the reference signal and the downlink signal overlapping in at least one symbol.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, to the wireless device, one or more configuration parameters indicating one or more trigger states of transmission of the reference signal.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the wireless device, a third DCI associated with a third coreset pool index, the third DCI triggering transmission of a second reference signal;

transmitting, to the wireless device, a fourth DCI associated with a fourth coreset pool index, the fourth DCI scheduling a second downlink signal with a second TCI state; and

based on the third coreset pool index and the fourth coreset pool index being different, skipping monitoring for at least one of:

the second reference signal; or

the second downlink signal.

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, first downlink control information (DCI) associated with a first control resource set (coreset) pool index, the first DCI triggering transmission of a reference signal;

transmit, to the wireless device, a second DCI associated with a second coreset pool index, the second DCI scheduling a downlink signal with a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state; and

based on the first coreset pool index and the second coreset pool index being the same, transmit, to the wireless device, the reference signal with the TCI state.

12. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the reference signal is an aperiodic channel state information reference signal.

13. The base station of claim 11 , wherein a scheduling offset between the first DCI and the reference signal is less than a beam switch timing threshold of the wireless device.

14. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to determine that a scheduling offset between the first DCI and the reference signal is less than a beam switch timing threshold of the wireless device.

15. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to transmit, via a first coreset with the first coreset pool index, the first DCI.

16. The base station of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to transmit, via a second coreset with the second coreset pool index, the second DCI.

17. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the reference signal and the downlink signal overlap in time.

18. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to transmit, to the wireless device, one or more configuration parameters indicating one or more trigger states of transmission of the reference signal.

19. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to, based on the first coreset pool index and the second coreset pool index being different, skip monitoring for at least one of:

the reference signal; or

the downlink signal.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

transmit, to a wireless device, first downlink control information (DCI) associated with a first control resource set (coreset) pool index, the first DCI triggering transmission of a reference signal;

transmit, to the wireless device, a second DCI associated with a second coreset pool index, the second DCI scheduling a downlink signal with a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state; and

based on the first coreset pool index and the second coreset pool index being the same, transmit, to the wireless device, the reference signal with the TCI state.
