Abstract

A method may include receiving, by a wireless device, configuration parameters indicating a switching scheme for switching a first beam and a second beam over physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission occasions. The method may include receiving downlink control information indicating repetitions of a transport block (TB) via the PDSCH transmission occasions. The method may include receiving, based on the switching scheme, a first repetition of the repetitions of the TB with the first beam via a first transmission occasion of the PDSCH transmission occasions, and a second repetition of the repetitions of the TB with the second beam via a second transmission occasion of the PDSCH transmission occasions.

Claims (54)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, configuration parameters indicating a switching scheme for switching a first beam and a second beam over physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission occasions;

receiving downlink control information indicating repetitions of a transport block (TB) via the PDSCH transmission occasions; and

receiving, based on the switching scheme:

a first repetition of the repetitions of the TB with the first beam via a first transmission occasion of the PDSCH transmission occasions; and

a second repetition of the repetitions of the TB with the second beam via a second transmission occasion of the PDSCH transmission occasions.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the switching scheme indicates a slot level interval for switching the first beam and the second beam over the PDSCH transmission occasions.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the slot level interval comprises one or more contiguous slots.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the switching scheme indicates an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol level interval for switching the first beam and the second beam over the PDSCH transmission occasions.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the PDSCH transmission occasions include one or more contiguous PDSCH transmission occasions; and

the switching scheme indicates a time interval for switching the first beam and the second beam over the one or more contiguous PDSCH transmission occasions.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the PDSCH transmission occasions include one or more contiguous PDSCH transmission occasions; and

the switching scheme indicates a time interval for switching the first beam and the second beam over a number of the one or more contiguous PDSCH transmission occasions.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the PDSCH transmission occasions comprises at least one redundancy version (RV) of the TB.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising decoding the TB based on the first repetition and the second repetition.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first beam and the second beam are switched over every occasion of the PDSCH transmission occasions.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first beam and the second beam are switched over every other occasion of the PDSCH transmission occasions.

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 configuration parameters indicating a switching scheme for switching a first beam and a second beam over physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission occasions;

receive downlink control information indicating repetitions of a transport block (TB) via the PDSCH transmission occasions; and

receive, based on the switching scheme:

a first repetition of the repetitions of the TB with the first beam via a first transmission occasion of the PDSCH transmission occasions; and

a second repetition of the repetitions of the TB with the second beam via a second transmission occasion of the PDSCH transmission occasions.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the switching scheme indicates a slot level interval for switching the first beam and the second beam over the PDSCH transmission occasions.

13. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the slot level interval comprises one or more contiguous slots.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the switching scheme indicates an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol level interval for switching the first beam and the second beam over the PDSCH transmission occasions.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein:

the PDSCH transmission occasions include one or more contiguous PDSCH transmission occasions; and

the switching scheme indicates a time interval for switching the first beam and the second beam over the one or more contiguous PDSCH transmission occasions.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein:

the PDSCH transmission occasions include one or more contiguous PDSCH transmission occasions; and

the switching scheme indicates a time interval for switching the first beam and the second beam over a number of the one or more contiguous PDSCH transmission occasions.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein each of the PDSCH transmission occasions comprises at least one redundancy version (RV) of the TB.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first beam and the second beam are switched over every occasion of the PDSCH transmission occasions.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first beam and the second beam are switched over every other occasion of the PDSCH transmission occasions.

20. A system comprising:

a base station comprising:

one or more first processors; and

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

transmit configuration parameters indicating a switching scheme for switching a first beam and a second beam over physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission occasions;

transmit downlink control information indicating repetitions of a transport block (TB) via the PDSCH transmission occasions; and

transmit, based on the switching scheme:

a first repetition of the repetitions of the TB with the first beam via a first transmission occasion of the PDSCH transmission occasions; and

a second repetition of the repetitions of the TB with the second beam via a second transmission occasion of the PDSCH transmission occasions; and

a wireless device comprising:

one or more second processors; and

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

receive the configuration parameters;

receive the downlink control information; and

receive, based on the switching scheme the first repetition with the first beam via the first transmission occasion and the second repetition with the second beam via the second transmission occasion.
