Abstract

Wireless communication techniques using search space sets are described. A downlink channel may be monitored using search space sets based on one or more conditions. For example, a downlink channel may be monitored on a first search space set during a first time period (e.g., before an expiration of a timer) and/or a downlink channel may be monitored on a second search space set during a second time period (e.g., after an expiration of a timer).

Claims (72)

1 . A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device while a bandwidth part (BWP) inactivity timer is running, downlink control information (DCI);

starting, based on the DCI, a second timer for monitoring a first downlink control channel on a first SS set; and

based on an expiration of the second timer:

stopping monitoring the first downlink control channel on the first SS set; and

starting monitoring a second downlink control channel different from the first downlink control channel.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

based on the DCI:

stopping monitoring the second downlink control channel; and

starting monitoring the first downlink control channel on the first SS set.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving one or more configuration parameters associated with a power saving configuration, wherein the DCI comprises a command indicating activation of the power saving configuration.

4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

monitoring, based on the one or more configuration parameters, the first downlink control channel on the first SS set.

5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters indicate at least one of:

a periodicity of the first downlink control channel on the first SS set;

a quantity of resource blocks in a frequency domain;

a BWP indicator indicating a bandwidth of a cell; or

a control resource set.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, via the first downlink control channel on the first SS set, a downlink assignment; and

receiving, based on the downlink assignment, at least one transport block.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, via the first downlink control channel on the first SS set, an uplink grant; and

transmitting, based on the uplink grant, at least one transport block.

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:

receive, while a bandwidth part (BWP) inactivity timer is running, downlink control information (DCI);

start, based on the DCI, a second timer for monitoring a first downlink control channel on a first SS set; and

based on an expiration of the second timer:

stop monitoring the first downlink control channel on the first SS set; and

start monitoring a second downlink control channel different from the first downlink control channel.

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

based on the DCI:

stop monitoring the second downlink control channel; and

start monitoring the first downlink control channel on the first SS set.

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

receive one or more configuration parameters associated with a power saving configuration, wherein the DCI comprises a command indicating activation of the power saving configuration.

11 . The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further configure the wireless device to:

monitor, based on the one or more configuration parameters, the first downlink control channel on the first SS set.

12 . The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters indicate at least one of:

a periodicity of the first downlink control channel on the first SS set;

a quantity of resource blocks in a frequency domain;

a BWP indicator indicating a bandwidth of a cell; or

a control resource set.

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

receive, via the first downlink control channel on the first SS set, a downlink assignment; and

receive, based on the downlink assignment, at least one transport block.

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

receive, via the first downlink control channel on the first SS set, an uplink grant; and

transmit, based on the uplink grant, at least one transport block.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause:

receiving, while a bandwidth part (BWP) inactivity timer is running, downlink control information (DCI);

starting, based on the DCI, a second timer for monitoring a first downlink control channel on a first SS set; and

based on an expiration of the second timer:

stopping monitoring the first downlink control channel on the first SS set; and

starting monitoring a second downlink control channel different from the first downlink control channel.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause:

based on the DCI:

stop monitoring the second downlink control channel; and

start monitoring the first downlink control channel on the first SS set.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause receiving one or more configuration parameters associated with a power saving configuration, wherein the DCI comprises a command indicating activation of the power saving configuration.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause monitoring, based on the one or more configuration parameters, the first downlink control channel on the first SS set.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters indicate at least one of:

a periodicity of the first downlink control channel on the first SS set;

a quantity of resource blocks in a frequency domain;

a BWP indicator indicating a bandwidth of a cell; or

a control resource set.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause:

receiving, via the first downlink control channel on the first SS set, a downlink assignment; and

receiving, based on the downlink assignment, at least one transport block.
