Abstract

Wireless communications are described. Failure recovery associated with resource(s) may be used. A wireless device may select, based on a determined failure, a suitable candidate resource for cell(s), such as secondary cell(s). The wireless device may use the suitable candidate resource, such as a candidate beam, for an uplink channel transmission via a secondary cell, for example, until a new uplink channel configuration/activation is received.

Claims (57)

1 . A method comprising:

transmitting, by a wireless device, a first uplink signal associated with beam failure recovery (BFR) for a cell, wherein the first uplink signal indicates a candidate beam reference signal (RS) associated with the cell; and

after completing the BFR for the cell, transmitting a second uplink signal using a spatial filter that is based on whether the cell is a primary cell or a secondary cell.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, after transmitting the second uplink signal, at least one indication of a spatial relation associated with at least one second uplink control channel transmission; and

transmitting, based on a second spatial filter associated with the spatial relation, a third uplink signal, wherein the second spatial filter is different from the spatial filter associated with the at least one second uplink control channel transmission.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the first uplink signal comprises transmitting, via a second cell different from the cell, a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE).

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, prior to transmitting the first uplink signal, a scheduling request; and

receiving, based on the scheduling request, an uplink grant,

wherein the transmitting the first uplink signal comprises transmitting, based on the uplink grant, a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE).

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, during a first symbol, a response to the first uplink signal,

wherein the receiving the response completes the BFR for the cell, and

wherein the transmitting the second uplink signal comprises transmitting, after a quantity of symbols following the first symbol, the second uplink signal.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the spatial filter is used for reception of the candidate beam RS by the wireless device, and

wherein the spatial filter is associated with a transmit beam.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second uplink signal comprises one of:

an uplink control channel signal,

an uplink shared channel signal, or

a sounding reference signal.

8 . A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the wireless device to:

transmit a first uplink signal associated with beam failure recovery (BFR) for a cell, wherein the first uplink signal indicates a candidate beam reference signal (RS) associated with the cell; and

after the BFR for the cell is completed, transmit a second uplink signal using a spatial filter that is based on whether the cell is a primary cell or a secondary cell.

9 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the wireless device to:

receive, after transmitting the second uplink signal, at least one indication of a spatial relation associated with at least one second uplink control channel transmission; and

transmit, based on a second spatial filter associated with the spatial relation, a third uplink signal, wherein the second spatial filter is different from the spatial filter associated with the at least one second uplink control channel transmission.

10 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the wireless device to transmit the first uplink signal by transmitting, via a second cell different from the cell, a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE).

11 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the wireless device to:

transmit, prior to transmitting the first uplink signal, a scheduling request;

receive, based on the scheduling request, an uplink grant; and

transmit the first uplink signal by transmitting, based on the uplink grant, a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE).

12 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the wireless device to:

receive, during a first symbol, a response to the first uplink signal; and

transmit the second uplink signal by transmitting, after a quantity of symbols following the first symbol, the second uplink signal, wherein receiving the response completes the BFR for the cell.

13 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the spatial filter is used for reception of the candidate beam RS by the wireless device, and wherein the spatial filter is associated with a transmit beam.

14 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the second uplink signal comprises one of:

an uplink control channel signal,

an uplink shared channel signal, or

a sounding reference signal.

15 . One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed, configure a wireless device to:

transmit a first uplink signal associated with beam failure recovery (BFR) for a cell, wherein the first uplink signal indicates a candidate beam reference signal (RS) associated with the cell; and

after the BFR for the cell is completed, transmit a second uplink signal using a spatial filter that is based on whether the cell is a primary cell or a secondary cell.

16 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the wireless device to:

receive, after transmitting the second uplink signal, at least one indication of a spatial relation associated with at least one second uplink control channel transmission; and

transmit, based on a second spatial filter associated with the spatial relation, a third uplink signal, wherein the second spatial filter is different from the spatial filter associated with the at least one second uplink control channel transmission.

17 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the wireless device to transmit the first uplink signal by transmitting, via a second cell different from the cell, a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE).

18 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the wireless device to:

transmit, prior to transmitting the first uplink signal, a scheduling request;

receive, based on the scheduling request, an uplink grant; and

transmit the first uplink signal by transmitting, based on the uplink grant, a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE).

19 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the wireless device to:

receive, during a first symbol, a response to the first uplink signal; and

transmit the second uplink signal by transmitting, after a quantity of symbols following the first symbol, the second uplink signal, wherein receiving the response completes the BFR for the cell.

20 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the spatial filter is used for reception of the candidate beam RS by the wireless device, and wherein the spatial filter is associated with a transmit beam.
