Abstract

A method may include transmitting, by a base station to a wireless device via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a downlink control information (DCI) indicating for the wireless device to switch from a second bandwidth part (BWP) to a first BWP as an active BWP. The method may include receiving, in response to the first BWP being activated, a reference signal received power (RSRP) report for the first BWP. The RSRP report may include a reference signal index indicating a reference signal of the first BWP, and a value of an RSRP of the reference signal.

Claims (50)

1. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a base station to a wireless device via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a downlink control information (DCI) indicating for the wireless device to switch from a second bandwidth part (BWP) to a first BWP as an active BWP; and

receiving, in response to the first BWP being activated, a reference signal received power (RSRP) report for the first BWP, wherein the RSRP report comprises:

a reference signal index indicating a reference signal of the first BWP; and

a value of an RSRP of the reference signal.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, to the wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages indicating parameters of:

a first PDCCH and the reference signal, both corresponding to the first BWP; and

the PDCCH and a second reference signal, both corresponding to the second BWP.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the parameters are configuration parameters of a primary cell of a plurality of cells.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the parameters are configuration parameters of a secondary cell of a plurality of cells.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more RRC messages further indicate BWP parameters comprising at least one of:

a frequency location;

a bandwidth;

a value of subcarrier spacing; or

a cyclic prefix.

6. The method of claim 2 , further comprising receiving, from the wireless device and in response to the one or more RRC messages, a radio resource management (RRM) report based on a measurement of a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS).

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting a first DCI via a first PDCCH; and

transmitting a first transport block, based on the first DCI, via the first BWP.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the value of the RSRP of the reference signal is based on a measurement of the reference signal.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference signal comprises at least one of:

one or more channel state information reference signals; or

one or more synchronization signal blocks.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, to the wireless device, a first PDCCH via the first BWP based on the first BWP being activated.

11. A base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

transmit, to a wireless device via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a downlink control information (DCI) indicating for the wireless device to switch from a second bandwidth part (BWP) to a first BWP as an active BWP; and

receive, in response to the first BWP being activated, a reference signal received power (RSRP) report for the first BWP, wherein the RSRP report comprises:

a reference signal index indicating a reference signal of the first BWP; and

a value of an RSRP of the reference signal.

12. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station to transmit, to the wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages indicating parameters of:

a first PDCCH and the reference signal, both corresponding to the first BWP; and

the PDCCH and a second reference signal, both corresponding to the second BWP.

13. The base station of claim 12 , wherein the parameters are configuration parameters of a primary cell of a plurality of cells.

14. The base station of claim 12 , wherein the parameters are configuration parameters of a secondary cell of a plurality of cells.

15. The base station of claim 12 , wherein the one or more RRC messages further indicate BWP parameters comprising at least one of:

a frequency location;

a bandwidth;

a value of subcarrier spacing; or

a cyclic prefix.

16. The base station of claim 12 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station to receive, from the wireless device and in response to the one or more RRC messages, a radio resource management (RRM) report based on a measurement of a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS).

17. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station to:

transmit a first DCI via a first PDCCH; and

transmit a first transport block, based on the first DCI, via the first BWP.

18. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the value of the RSRP of the reference signal is based on a measurement of the reference signal.

19. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the reference signal comprises at least one of:

one or more channel state information reference signals; or

one or more synchronization signal blocks.

20. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station to transmit, to the wireless device, a first PDCCH via the first BWP based on the first BWP being activated.
