Abstract

A wireless device may receive downlink control information (DCI) scheduling uplink repetitions of a transport block. Based on a sounding reference signal resource indicator (SRI) field being absent in the DCI, the wireless device may transmit: a first repetition of the transport block with a first transmission power based on a first pathloss reference signal (RS); and a second repetition of the transport block with a second transmission power based on a second pathloss RS.

Claims (61)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, downlink control information (DCI) scheduling uplink repetitions of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission; and

based on a sounding reference signal resource indicator (SRI) field being absent in the DCI, transmitting:

a first repetition of the PUSCH transmission with a first transmission power based on a first pathloss reference signal (RS) with index equal to zero; and

a second repetition of the PUSCH transmission with a second transmission power based on a second pathloss reference RS with index equal to one.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the first pathloss reference RS is a first default pathloss reference RS; and

the second pathloss reference RS is a second default pathloss reference RS.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising selecting, based on the SRI field being absent from the DCI:

the first pathloss reference RS with index equal to zero as the first default pathloss reference RS; and

the second pathloss reference RS with index equal to one as the second default pathloss reference RS.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting is further based on both a first SRI field and a second SRI field being absent in the DCI, wherein the DCI does not comprise any SRI field.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising receiving one or more messages comprising one or more configuration parameters, wherein the one or more configuration parameters indicate:

a first sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set; and

a second SRS resource set.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein:

the first SRI field is absent in the DCI based on a number of SRS resources in the first SRS resource set being equal to one; and

the second SRI field is absent in the DCI based on a number of SRS resources in the second SRS resource set being equal to one.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein:

the one or more configuration parameters indicate a plurality of indexes for a plurality of pathloss reference RSs comprising the first pathloss reference RS and the second pathloss reference RS; and

each pathloss reference RS of the plurality of pathloss reference RSs is indicated by a respective index of the plurality of indexes that comprise the index of the first pathloss reference RS and the index of the second pathloss reference RS.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising determining:

the first transmission power based on a first reference signal indicated by the first pathloss reference RS with index zero; and

the second transmission power based on a second reference signal indicated by the second pathloss reference RS with index one.

9. The method of claim 5 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters indicate, for both the first SRS resource set and the second SRS resource set, an SRS usage parameter that is set to codebook or that is set to non-codebook resource set.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI comprises a time domain resource alignment (TDRA) field indicating a number of repetitions of the PUSCH transmission.

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 downlink control information (DCI) scheduling uplink repetitions of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission; and

based on a sounding reference signal resource indicator (SRI) field being absent in the DCI, transmit:

a first repetition of the PUSCH transmission with a first transmission power based on a first pathloss reference reference signal (RS) with index equal to zero; and

a second repetition of the PUSCH transmission with a second transmission power based on a second pathloss reference RS with index equal to one.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein:

the first pathloss reference RS is a first default pathloss reference RS; and

the second pathloss reference RS is a second default pathloss reference RS.

13. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to select, based on the SRI field being absent from the DCI:

the first pathloss reference RS with index equal to zero as the first default pathloss reference RS; and

the second pathloss reference RS with index equal to one as the second default pathloss reference RS.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the transmitting is further based on both a first SRI field and a second SRI field being absent in the DCI, wherein the DCI does not comprise any SRI field.

15. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive one or more messages comprising one or more configuration parameters, wherein the one or more configuration parameters indicate:

a first sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set; and

a second SRS resource set.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein:

the first SRI field is absent in the DCI based on a number of SRS resources in the first SRS resource set being equal to one; and

the second SRI field is absent in the DCI based on a number of SRS resources in the second SRS resource set being equal to one.

17. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein:

the one or more configuration parameters indicate a plurality of indexes for a plurality of pathloss reference RSs comprising the first pathloss reference RS and the second pathloss reference RS; and

each pathloss reference RS of the plurality of pathloss reference RSs is indicated by a respective index of the plurality of indexes that comprise the index of the first pathloss reference RS and the index of the second pathloss reference RS.

18. The wireless device of claim 17 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to determine:

the first transmission power based on a first reference signal indicated by the first pathloss reference RS with index zero; and

the second transmission power based on a second reference signal indicated by the second pathloss reference RS with index one.

19. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters indicate, for both the first SRS resource set and the second SRS resource set, an SRS usage parameter that is set to codebook or that is set to non-codebook resource set.

20. A system comprising:

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

transmit downlink control information (DCI) scheduling uplink repetitions of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission; and

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

receive, from the base station, the DCI scheduling the uplink repetitions of the PUSCH transmission; and

in response to a sounding reference signal resource indicator (SRI) field being absent in the DCI, transmit:

a first repetition of the PUSCH transmission with a first transmission power based on a first pathloss reference signal (RS) with index equal to zero and mapped to a first power control parameter set of power control parameter sets; and

a second repetition of the PUSCH transmission with a second transmission power based on a second pathloss reference RS with index equal to one and mapped to a second power control parameter set of the power control parameter sets.
