Abstract

A wireless device may receive radio resource control (RRC) messaging. The wireless device may receive a signal. The signal may be received via a physical downlink channel. The signal may start at a time that is based on a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure, a starting symbol, and a non-zero offset symbol value.

Claims (39)

1 . A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, radio resource control (RRC) messaging associated with downlink transmission;

receiving, via a physical downlink channel, a signal that starts, at a time in a time duration, based on:

a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure;

a starting symbol indicated in the RRC messaging; and

a non-zero offset symbol value indicated in the RRC messaging.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the non-zero offset symbol value based on a field, in the RRC messaging, that indicates one or more possible starting positions of transmission in the time duration.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the non-zero offset symbol value corresponds to one slot of the time duration.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the non-zero offset symbol value indicates a quantity of symbols associated with the time duration.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the physical downlink channel is a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the physical downlink channel is a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the non-zero offset symbol value is seven.

8 . 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 radio resource control (RRC) messaging associated with downlink transmission;

receive, via a physical downlink channel, a signal that starts, at a time in a time duration, based on:

a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure;

a starting symbol indicated in the RRC messaging; and

a non-zero offset symbol value indicated in the RRC messaging.

9 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to determine the non-zero offset symbol value based on a field, in the RRC messaging, that indicates one or more possible starting positions of transmission in the time duration.

10 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the non-zero offset symbol value corresponds to one slot of the time duration.

11 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the non-zero offset symbol value indicates a quantity of symbols associated with the time duration.

12 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the physical downlink channel is a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

13 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the physical downlink channel is a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

14 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the non-zero offset symbol value is seven.

15 . A system comprising:

a base station; and

a wireless device;

wherein the base station is configured to transmit radio resource control (RRC) messaging associated with downlink transmission; and

wherein the wireless device is configured to receive, via a physical downlink channel, a signal that starts, at a time in a time duration, based on:

a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure;

a starting symbol indicated in the RRC messaging; and

a non-zero offset symbol value indicated in the RRC messaging.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the wireless device is further configured to determine the non-zero offset symbol value based on a field, in the RRC messaging, that indicates one or more possible starting positions of transmission in the time duration.

17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the non-zero offset symbol value corresponds to one slot of the time duration.

18 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the non-zero offset symbol value indicates a quantity of symbols associated with the time duration.

19 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the physical downlink channel is a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

20 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the non-zero offset symbol value is seven.
