Abstract

A wireless device receives one or more configuration parameters indicating a plurality of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for uplink transmissions. The wireless device transmits, for a random access procedure, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission with a spatial filter. The wireless device receives a medium access control control element (MAC CE) indicating activation of more than one TCI states of the plurality of TCI states. The wireless device transmits, with the spatial filter used during the random access procedure, one or more uplink signals before receiving a downlink control information (DCI) indicating a TCI state from the more than one TCI states.

Claims (36)

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 configuration parameters indicating a plurality of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for uplink transmissions;

transmit, for a random access procedure, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission with a spatial filter;

receive a medium access control control element (MAC CE) indicating activation of more than one TCI state of the plurality of TCI states; and

transmit, with the spatial filter used during the random access procedure, one or more uplink signals before receiving a downlink control information (DCI) indicating a TCI state from the more than one TCI state.

2. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the spatial filter is based on a default uplink TCI state.

3. The wireless device of claim 2 , wherein the default uplink TCI state is associated with a synchronization signal block (SSB).

4. The wireless device of claim 3 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters further comprise an association between the uplink TCI state and the SSB.

5. The wireless device of claim 3 , wherein the SSB is used as a default pathloss reference signal (PL-RS).

6. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive, after transmitting the one or more uplink signals, the DCI indicating the TCI state.

7. The wireless device of claim 6 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to transmit one or more second uplink signals based on a second spatial filter associated with the TCI state.

8. 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, one or more configuration parameters indicating a plurality of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for uplink transmissions;

receive, from the wireless device and for a random access procedure, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission based on a spatial filter;

transmit, to the wireless device, a medium access control control element (MAC CE) indicating activation of more than one TCI state of the plurality of TCI states; and

receive, from the wireless device and based on the spatial filter used during the random access procedure, one or more uplink signals before transmitting a downlink control information (DCI) indicating a TCI state from the more than one TCI state.

9. The base station of claim 8 , wherein receiving the one or more uplink signals is based on a default uplink TCI state.

10. The base station of claim 9 , wherein the default uplink TCI state is associated with a synchronization signal block (SSB).

11. The base station of claim 10 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters further comprise an association between the uplink TCI state and the SSB.

12. The base station of claim 10 , wherein the SSB is used as a default pathloss reference signal (PL-RS).

13. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to transmit, to the wireless device and after the receiving the one or more uplink signals, the DCI indicating the TCI state.

14. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to receive, from the wireless device, one or more second uplink signals based on the TCI state.

15. 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 configuration parameters indicating a plurality of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for uplink transmissions;

transmit, for a random access procedure, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission with a spatial filter;

receive a medium access control control element (MAC CE) indicating activation of more than one TCI state of the plurality of TCI states; and

transmit, with the spatial filter used during the random access procedure, one or more uplink signals before receiving a downlink control information (DCI) indicating a TCI state from the more than one TCI state.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the spatial filter is based on a default uplink TCI state.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the default uplink TCI state is associated with a synchronization signal block (SSB).

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters further comprise an association between the uplink TCI state and the SSB.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the SSB is used as a default pathloss reference signal (PL-RS).

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive, after transmitting the one or more uplink signals, the DCI indicating the TCI state.
