Abstract

A wireless device receives one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages. The RRC messages comprise one or more control resource set (coreset) identifiers (IDs) for one or more coresets in a downlink bandwidth part (BWP) of a cell. The wireless device receives a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) indicating activation of an ordered set of two transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for a coreset of the one or more coresets. The coreset is with a lowest coreset ID among the one or more coreset IDs of the one or more coresets. In response to the coreset with the lowest coreset ID being activated with the two TCI states, the wireless device transmits an uplink signal with a spatial domain transmission filter determined based on a first TCI state occurring first in the ordered set of the two TCI states of the coreset.

Claims (62)

1 . A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising one or more control resource set (coreset) identifiers (IDs) for one or more coresets in a downlink bandwidth part (BWP) of a cell;

receiving a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) indicating activation of an ordered set of two transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for a coreset of the one or more coresets, wherein the coreset is with a lowest coreset ID among the one or more coreset IDs of the one or more coresets; and

in response to the coreset with the lowest coreset ID being activated with the two TCI states, transmitting an uplink signal with a spatial domain transmission filter determined based on a first TCI state occurring first in the ordered set of the two TCI states of the coreset.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting, for transmission of the uplink signal, the first TCI state in response to the coreset being activated with the two TCI states.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein octets of the MAC CE comprise:

a first TCI state ID identifying the first TCI state;

a second TCI state ID identifying a second TCI state of the two TCI states, wherein the first TCI state ID occurs in a lower octet than the second TCI state ID;

a serving cell ID; and

a coreset ID of the coreset.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the transmitting the uplink signal using the first TCI state is further in response to the one or more RRC messages comprising a parameter that enables using default transmission parameters for uplink transmissions via the cell.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the transmitting the uplink signal using the first TCI state is further in response to the one or more RRC messages not indicating at least one pathloss reference signal.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein:

the uplink signal is a sounding reference signal (SRS);

the SRS is transmitted via an SRS resource; and

further comprising transmitting the SRS using the first TCI state in response to the SRS resource not being configured or activated with a spatial relation.

7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein:

the uplink signal is transmitted via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource;

the uplink signal is a PUCCH transmission that comprises at least one of:

a scheduling request (SR);

a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK); or

a channel state information (CSI) report; and

further comprising transmitting the PUCCH transmission using the first TCI state in response to the PUCCH resource not being configured or activated with a spatial relation.

8 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the uplink signal is a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission; and further comprising:

transmitting the PUSCH transmission using the first TCI state in response to a downlink control information (DCI) format 0_0 scheduling the PUSCH transmission.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the spatial domain transmission filter is determined based on a reference signal indicated by the first TCI state.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink BWP is an active downlink BWP of the cell.

11 . 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 radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising one or more control resource set (coreset) identifiers (IDs) for one or more coresets in a downlink bandwidth part (BWP) of a cell;

receive a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) indicating activation of an ordered set of two transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for a coreset of the one or more coresets, wherein the coreset is with a lowest coreset ID among the one or more coreset IDs of the one or more coresets; and

in response to the coreset with the lowest coreset ID being activated with the two TCI states, transmit an uplink signal with a spatial domain transmission filter determined based on a first TCI state occurring first in the ordered set of the two TCI states of the coreset.

12 . The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to select, for transmission of the uplink signal, the first TCI state in response to the coreset being activated with the two TCI states.

13 . The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein octets of the MAC CE comprise:

a first TCI state ID identifying the first TCI state;

a second TCI state ID identifying a second TCI state of the two TCI states, wherein the first TCI state ID occurs in a lower octet than the second TCI state ID;

a serving cell ID; and

a coreset ID of the coreset.

14 . The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the transmitting the uplink signal using the first TCI state is further in response to the one or more RRC messages comprising a parameter that enables using default transmission parameters for uplink transmissions via the cell.

15 . The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the transmitting the uplink signal using the first TCI state is further in response to the one or more RRC messages not indicating at least one pathloss reference signal.

16 . The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein:

the uplink signal is a sounding reference signal (SRS); and

the SRS is transmitted via an SRS resource; and

wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:

transmit the SRS using the first TCI state in response to the SRS resource not being configured or activated with a spatial relation.

17 . The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein:

the uplink signal is transmitted via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource;

the uplink signal is a PUCCH transmission that comprises at least one of:

a scheduling request (SR);

a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK); or

a channel state information (CSI) report; and

wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:

transmit the PUCCH transmission using the first TCI state in response to the PUCCH resource not being configured or activated with a spatial relation.

18 . The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the uplink signal is a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission; and

wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:

transmit the PUSCH transmission using the first TCI state in response to a downlink control information (DCI) format 0_0 scheduling the PUSCH transmission.

19 . The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the spatial domain transmission filter is determined based on a reference signal indicated by the first TCI state; and wherein the downlink BWP is an active downlink BWP of the cell.

20 . 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 one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising one or more control resource set (coreset) identifiers (IDs) for one or more coresets in a downlink bandwidth part (BWP) of a cell;

receive a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) indicating activation of an ordered set of two transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for a coreset of the one or more coresets, wherein the coreset is with a lowest coreset ID among the one or more coreset IDs of the one or more coresets; and
