Abstract

A base station may transmit, to a wireless device, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) comprising a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), wherein the PDCCH includes PDCCH candidates from search space sets, associated with control resource sets (coresets), configured for repetition. The base station may transmit, to the wireless device, a transport block via the PDSCH, wherein resource block (RB) numbering of the PDSCH starts from a lowest RB of a coreset with a lowest index among the coresets.

Claims (34)

1. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a base station to a wireless device, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) comprising a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), wherein the PDCCH includes PDCCH candidates from search space sets, associated with control resource sets (coresets), configured for repetition; and

transmitting, to the wireless device, a transport block via the PDSCH, wherein resource block (RB) numbering of the PDSCH starts from a lowest RB of a coreset with a lowest index among the coresets.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, via the search space sets associated with the coresets, repetitions of the DCI.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the search space sets are common search space sets.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a DCI format of the DCI is DCI format 1_0.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting one or more messages comprising one or more configuration parameters indicating that the search space sets, associated with the coresets, are configured for repetition.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the lowest RB of the coreset is an RB with a lowest starting frequency among one or more starting frequencies of one or more RBs of the coreset.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the DCI comprises a resource indication field with a value indicating a virtual RB; and

a starting RB, for receiving the transport block, is determined based on a summation of the lowest RB and the virtual RB.

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, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) comprising a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), wherein the PDCCH includes PDCCH candidates from search space sets, associated with control resource sets (coresets), configured for repetition; and

transmit, to the wireless device, a transport block via the PDSCH, wherein resource block (RB) numbering of the PDSCH starts from a lowest RB of a coreset with a lowest index among the coresets.

9. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to transmit, via the search space sets associated with the coresets, repetitions of the DCI.

10. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the search space sets are common search space sets.

11. The base station of claim 8 , wherein a DCI format of the DCI is DCI format 1_0.

12. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to transmit one or more messages comprising one or more configuration parameters indicating that the search space sets, associated with the coresets, are configured for repetition.

13. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the lowest RB of the coreset is an RB with a lowest starting frequency among one or more starting frequencies of one or more RBs of the coreset.

14. The base station of claim 8 , wherein:

the DCI comprises a resource indication field with a value indicating a virtual RB; and

a starting RB, for receiving the transport block, is determined based on a summation of the lowest RB and the virtual RB.

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

receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) comprising a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), wherein the PDCCH includes PDCCH candidates from search space sets, associated with control resource sets (coresets), configured for repetition; and

receive a transport block via the PDSCH, wherein resource block (RB) numbering of the PDSCH starts from a lowest RB of a coreset with a lowest index among the coresets.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to monitor, via the search space sets associated with the coresets, for repetitions of the DCI.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the search space sets are common search space sets.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein a DCI format of the DCI is DCI format 1_0.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the lowest RB of the coreset is an RB with a lowest starting frequency among one or more starting frequencies of one or more RBs of the coreset.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein:

the DCI comprises a resource indication field with a value indicating a virtual RB; and

a starting RB, for receiving the transport block, is determined based on a summation of the lowest RB and the virtual RB.
