Abstract

A wireless device may receive, via a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion of PDCCH monitoring occasions for PDCCH repetition in a slot, a repetition of a downlink control information (DCI) triggering transmission of an uplink signal. The wireless device may transmit the uplink signal based on a number of symbols starting from a last symbol of a second PDCCH monitoring occasion among the PDCCH monitoring occasions of the slot. The second PDCCH monitoring occasion may have a latest ending time among ending times of the PDCCH monitoring occasions.

Claims (60)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device and via a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion of PDCCH monitoring occasions for PDCCH repetition in a slot, a repetition of a downlink control information (DCI) triggering transmission of an uplink signal; and

transmitting the uplink signal with a transmission power determined based on a number of symbols:

after a last symbol of a second PDCCH monitoring occasion among the PDCCH monitoring occasions of the slot, wherein the second PDCCH monitoring occasion has a latest ending time among ending times of the PDCCH monitoring occasions; and

before a starting symbol of the uplink signal.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising monitoring a plurality of control resource sets (coresets) in the PDCCH monitoring occasions for PDCCH monitoring.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the second PDCCH monitoring occasion among the PDCCH monitoring occasions.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink signal is a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI indicates:

a secondary cell (SCell) dormancy; or

a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) PDSCH release.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink signal is at least one of:

an aperiodic sounding reference signal (SRS);

a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission; and

a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission.

7. The method of claim 2 , wherein the monitoring the plurality of coresets comprises monitoring a plurality of search space sets associated with the plurality of coresets.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the uplink signal based on the last symbol of the second PDCCH monitoring occasion is in response to receiving one or more configuration parameters indicating the PDCCH repetition.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

monitoring a coreset in second PDCCH monitoring occasions, wherein the coreset is not associated with PDCCH repetition;

receiving, via a PDCCH monitoring occasion of the second PDCCH monitoring occasions of the coreset, a second DCI triggering transmission of a second uplink signal; and

transmitting the second uplink signal based on a last symbol of the PDCCH monitoring occasion that the wireless device receives the second DCI.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission power is determined based on a sum of one or more transmit power control (TPC) values indicated by one or more second DCIs.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more second DCIs are received between:

a second number of symbols before a previous uplink transmission occasion of a previous uplink signal; and

the number of symbols before an uplink transmission occasion of the uplink signal.

12. 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, via a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion of PDCCH monitoring occasions for PDCCH repetition in a slot, a repetition of a downlink control information (DCI) triggering transmission of an uplink signal; and

transmit the uplink signal with a transmission power determined based on a number of symbols:

after a last symbol of a second PDCCH monitoring occasion among the PDCCH monitoring occasions of the slot, wherein the second PDCCH monitoring occasion has a latest ending time among ending times of the PDCCH monitoring occasions; and

before a starting symbol of the uplink signal.

13. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to monitor a plurality of control resource sets (coresets) in the PDCCH monitoring occasions for PDCCH.

14. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to determine the second PDCCH monitoring occasion among the PDCCH monitoring occasions.

15. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the DCI indicates:

a secondary cell (SCell) dormancy; or

a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) PDSCH release.

16. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the uplink signal is at least one of:

a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK);

an aperiodic sounding reference signal (SRS);

a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission; or

a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission.

17. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the monitoring the plurality of coresets comprises monitoring a plurality of search space sets associated with the plurality of coresets.

18. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the transmitting the uplink signal based on the last symbol of the second PDCCH monitoring occasion is in response to receiving one or more configuration parameters indicating the PDCCH repetition.

19. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:

monitor a coreset in second PDCCH monitoring occasions, wherein the coreset is not associated with PDCCH repetition;

receive, via a PDCCH monitoring occasion of the second PDCCH monitoring occasions of the coreset, a second DCI triggering transmission of a second uplink signal; and

transmit the second uplink signal based on a last symbol of the PDCCH monitoring occasion that the wireless device receives the second DCI.

20. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the transmission power is determined based on a sum of one or more transmit power control (TPC) values indicated by one or more second DCIs.

21. The wireless device of claim 20 , wherein the one or more second DCIs are received between:

a second number of symbols before a previous uplink transmission occasion of a previous uplink signal; and

the number of symbols before an uplink transmission occasion of the uplink signal.

22. 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 repetitions of a downlink control information (DCI) in physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasions for downlink control channel repetition in a slot, wherein the DCI triggers transmission of an uplink signal; 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, via a first PDCCH monitoring occasion of the PDCCH monitoring occasions for the downlink control channel repetition in the slot, a repetition of the DCI triggering transmission of the uplink signal; and

transmit the uplink signal with a transmission power determined based on a number of symbols:

after a last symbol of a second PDCCH monitoring occasion among the PDCCH monitoring occasions, wherein the second PDCCH monitoring occasion has a latest ending time among ending times of the PDCCH monitoring occasions; and

before a starting symbol of the uplink signal.
