Abstract

A method including receiving, by a wireless device equipped with multiple panels, downlink control information (DCI) indicating one or more transmission configuration indication (TCI) states. The method including determining, based on a quantity of the one or more TCI states being greater than one, a first pathloss, for a first panel of the multiple panels based on a first pathloss reference signal (RS), and a second pathloss, for a second panel of the multiple panels based on a second pathloss RS. The method including transmitting, via at least one of the first panel and the second panel, an uplink signal with a transmission power based on the first pathloss and the second pathloss.

Claims (49)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device equipped with multiple panels, downlink control information (DCI) indicating one or more transmission configuration indication (TCI) states;

determining, based on a quantity of the one or more TCI states being greater than one:

a first pathloss for a first panel of the multiple panels based on a first pathloss reference signal (RS); and

a second pathloss for a second panel of the multiple panels based on a second pathloss RS; and

transmitting, via at least one of the first panel and the second panel, an uplink signal with a transmission power based on the first pathloss and the second pathloss.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining comprises measuring the first pathloss and the second pathloss.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first pathloss is between the first panel and a transmission reception point (TRP), and the second pathloss is between the second panel and the TRP.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first pathloss RS or the second pathloss RS comprise:

a channel state information reference signal; or

a synchronization signal block.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more TCI states comprises one or more downlink RSs.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more TCI states comprises one or more sounding RSs.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission power is an output transmission power of power control based on the first pathloss RS and the second pathloss RS.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the power control comprises a power control procedure for a physical uplink shared channel.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a message activating a TCI state set comprising the one or more TCI states.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving one or more messages indicating the first pathloss RS and the second pathloss RS.

11. A wireless device comprising:

multiple panels comprising a first panel and a second panel;

one or more processors; and

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

receive downlink control information (DCI) indicating one or more transmission configuration indication (TCI) states;

determine, based on a quantity of the one or more TCI states being greater than one:

a first pathloss for the first panel based on a first pathloss reference signal (RS); and

a second pathloss for the second panel based on a second pathloss RS; and

transmit, via at least one of the first panel and the second panel, an uplink signal with a transmission power based on the first pathloss and the second pathloss.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to measure the first pathloss and the second pathloss.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first pathloss is between the first panel and a transmission reception point (TRP), and the second pathloss is between the second panel and the TRP.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein at least one of the first pathloss RS or the second pathloss RS comprise:

a channel state information reference signal; or

a synchronization signal block.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein each of the one or more TCI states comprises one or more downlink RSs.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein each of the one or more TCI states comprises one or more sounding RSs.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the transmission power is an output transmission power of power control based on the first pathloss RS and the second pathloss RS.

18. The wireless device of claim 17 , wherein the power control comprises a power control procedure for a physical uplink shared channel.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , further comprising receiving a message activating a TCI state set comprising the one or more TCI states.

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 downlink control information (DCI) indicating one or more transmission configuration indication (TCI) states; and

a wireless device comprising:

multiple panels comprising a first panel and a second panel;

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 DCI;

determine, based on a quantity of the one or more TCI states being greater than one:

a first pathloss for the first panel based on a first pathloss reference signal (RS); and

a second pathloss for the second panel based on a second pathloss RS; and

transmit, via at least one of the first panel and the second panel, an uplink signal with a transmission power based on the first pathloss and the second pathloss.
