Abstract

A wireless device receives one or more messages indicating transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for downlink transmissions. The wireless device receives a medium access control control element (MAC CE) activating a plurality of TCI states of the TCI states. The wireless device receives, based on a reference signal identified during a random access procedure and before receiving downlink control information (DCI) indicating a TCI state from the plurality of TCI states, one or more downlink signals.

Claims (49)

1. 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 one or more messages indicating transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for downlink transmissions;

receive a medium access control control element (MAC CE) activating a plurality of TCI states of the TCI states; and

receive, based on a reference signal identified during a random access procedure and before receiving downlink control information (DCI) indicating a TCI state from the plurality of TCI states, one or more downlink signals.

2. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:

receive the DCI indicating the TCI state; and

receive, after receiving the DCI, one or more second downlink signals based on the TCI state.

3. The wireless device of claim 1 , further comprising initiating the random access procedure for:

a reconfiguration with synchronization procedure; or

an initial access procedure.

4. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the reference signal is used until the DCI, indicating the TCI state, is received.

5. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more messages are one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages.

6. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more downlink signals comprise a reception of at least one of:

a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);

a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); or

a second reference signal.

7. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive the one or more downlink signals further based on a spatial filter corresponding to the reference signal.

8. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to determine the spatial filter to be a same spatial filter used for reception of the reference signal.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless device, cause the wireless device to:

receive one or more messages indicating transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for downlink transmissions;

receive a medium access control control element (MAC CE) activating a plurality of TCI states of the TCI states; and

receive, based on a reference signal identified during a random access procedure and before receiving downlink control information (DCI) indicating a TCI state from the plurality of TCI states, one or more downlink signals.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:

receive the DCI indicating the TCI state; and

receive, after receiving the DCI, one or more second downlink signals based on the TCI state.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to initiate the random access procedure for:

a reconfiguration with synchronization procedure; or

an initial access procedure.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the reference signal is used until the DCI, indicating the TCI state, is received.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the one or more messages are one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages.

14. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more messages indicating transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for downlink transmissions;

receiving a medium access control control element (MAC CE) activating a plurality of TCI states of the TCI states; and

receiving, based on a reference signal identified during a random access procedure and before receiving downlink control information (DCI) indicating a TCI state from the plurality of TCI states, one or more downlink signals.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

receiving the DCI indicating the TCI state; and

receiving, after the receiving the DCI, one or more second downlink signals based on the TCI state.

16. The method of claim 14 , further comprising initiating the random access procedure for:

a reconfiguration with synchronization procedure; or

an initial access procedure.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the reference signal is used until the DCI, indicating the TCI state, is received.

18. The method of claim 14 , wherein the one or more messages are one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages.

19. The method of claim 14 , wherein the one or more downlink signals comprise a reception of at least one of:

a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);

a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); or

a second reference signal.

20. The method of claim 14 , further comprising receiving the one or more downlink signals further based on a spatial filter corresponding to the reference signal.
