Abstract

A wireless device receives first configuration parameter(s) indicating that a first search space and a second search space are used together for reception of DCI and a second configuration parameter indicating a value of a DRX timer. The wireless device receives first DCI based on: monitoring in a CORESET based on the first search space and in first symbol(s), and monitoring in a CORESET based on the second search space and in second symbol(s) that are after the first symbol(s). The wireless device may start the DRX timer with the value in a third symbol that is after the second symbol(s).

Claims (44)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device from a base station:

at least one first configuration parameter indicating that a first search space and a second search space are used together for reception of downlink control information; and

a second configuration parameter indicating a value of a discontinuous reception (DRX) timer;

receiving, from a base station, first downlink control information based on:

monitoring in a control resource set (CORESET) based on the first search space and in one or more first symbols; and

monitoring in a CORESET based on the second search space and in one or more second symbols that are after the one or more first symbols; and

starting the DRX timer with the value in a third symbol that is after the one or more second symbols.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the first search space is associated with a first CORESET; and

the second search space is associated with a second CORESET.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DRX timer is a DRX inactivity timer.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the wireless device is in a DRX Active time while the DRX inactivity timer is running.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first search space and the second search space are wireless device specific search spaces.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first search space and the second search space are common search spaces.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a parameter in first configuration parameters of the first search space has the same value as a corresponding parameter in second configuration parameters of the second search space.

8. 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, from a base station:

at least one first configuration parameter indicating that a first search space and a second search space are used together for reception of downlink control information; and

a second configuration parameter indicating a value of a discontinuous reception (DRX) timer;

receive, from a base station, first downlink control information based on:

monitoring in a control resource set (CORESET) based on the first search space and in one or more first symbols; and

monitoring in a CORESET based on the second search space and in one or more second symbols that are after the one or more first symbols; and

start the DRX timer with the value in a third symbol that is after the one or more second symbols.

9. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein:

the first search space is associated with a first CORESET; and

the second search space is associated with a second CORESET.

10. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the DRX timer is a DRX inactivity timer.

11. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the wireless device is in a DRX Active time while the DRX inactivity timer is running.

12. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the first search space and the second search space are wireless device specific search spaces.

13. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the first search space and the second search space are common search spaces.

14. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein a parameter in first configuration parameters of the first search space has the same value as a corresponding parameter in second configuration parameters of the second search space.

15. A system comprising:

a base station; and

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, from the base station: at least one first configuration parameter indicating that a first search space and a second search space are used together for reception of downlink control information; and a second configuration parameter indicating a value of a discontinuous reception (DRX) timer; receive first downlink control information based on: monitoring in a control resource set (CORESET) based on the first search space and in one or more first symbols; and monitoring in a CORESET based on the second search space and in one or more second symbols that are after the one or more first symbols; and start the DRX timer with the value in a third symbol that is after the one or more second symbols.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein:

the first search space is associated with a first CORESET; and

the second search space is associated with a second CORESET.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the DRX timer is a DRX inactivity timer.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the wireless device is in a DRX Active time while the DRX inactivity timer is running.

19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the first search space and the second search space are wireless device specific search spaces.

20. The system of claim 15 , wherein a parameter in first configuration parameters of the first search space has the same value as a corresponding parameter in second configuration parameters of the second search space.
