Abstract

A base station determines to activate an antenna panel for transmission of a transport block. A determination is made for a time domain resource assignment field in a downlink control information (DCI), a slot offset value based on an activation delay of the antenna panel such that the slot offset value is larger than the activation delay. The base station transmits the DCI scheduling the transmission of the transport block.

Claims (55)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a base station from a wireless device, a capability message indicating an activation delay of an antenna panel of the wireless device;

determining, by the base station, to activate the antenna panel for transmission of a transport block;

determining a slot offset value based on the activation delay of the antenna panel such that the slot offset value is larger than the activation delay;

transmitting, to the wireless device, a downlink control information (DCI) comprising a time domain resource assignment field with the slot offset value, wherein the DCI:

schedules the transmission of the transport block; and

indicates activation of the antenna panel; and

transmitting the transport block in a time slot based on the slot offset value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transport block comprises a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising activating, by the wireless device, the antenna panel based on receiving the DCI.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the activating the antenna panel comprises performing, by the wireless device, at least one of:

transmitting on uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) via the antenna panel;

transmitting physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) via the antenna panel; and

transmitting sounding reference signal (SRS) via the antenna panel.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the activating the antenna panel comprises performing, by the wireless device, at least one of:

monitoring physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) via the antenna panel; and

receiving downlink shared channel (DL-SCH) via the antenna panel.

6. The method of claim 3 , further comprising completing the activating the antenna panel in the activation delay of the antenna panel.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein the activating the antenna panel comprises switching from a second antenna panel to the antenna panel.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the activation delay of the antenna panel based on receiving a capability message, from the wireless device, indicating an antenna panel activation capability of the wireless device.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI further comprises a field with a value indicating an antenna panel index of the antenna panel.

10. 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:

receive, from a wireless device, a capability message indicating an activation delay of an antenna panel of the wireless device;

determine to activate the antenna panel for transmission of a transport block;

determine a slot offset value based on the activation delay of the antenna panel such that the slot offset value is larger than the activation delay;

transmit, to the wireless device, a downlink control information (DCI) comprising a time domain resource assignment field with the slot offset value, wherein the DCI:

schedules the transmission of the transport block; and

indicates activation of the antenna panel; and

transmit the transport block in a time slot based on the slot offset value.

11. The base station of claim 10 , wherein the transport block comprises a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

12. The base station of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station to activate the antenna panel of the wireless device based on receiving the DCI.

13. The base station of claim 12 , wherein the activation of the antenna panel further causes the base station to:

receive on uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) via the antenna panel;

receive physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) via the antenna panel; and

receive sounding reference signal (SRS) via the antenna panel.

14. The base station of claim 12 , wherein the activation of the antenna panel causes the base station to:

transmit physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) via the antenna panel; and

transmit downlink shared channel (DL-SCH) via the antenna panel.

15. The base station of claim 12 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station to complete the activation of the antenna panel in the activation delay of the antenna panel.

16. The base station of claim 12 , wherein the activation of the antenna panel comprises switching from a second antenna panel to the antenna panel.

17. The base station of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station to determine the activation delay of the antenna panel based on receiving a capability message, from the wireless device, indicating an antenna panel activation capability of the wireless device.

18. A system comprising:

a wireless device; and

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:

receive, from the wireless device, a capability message indicating an activation delay of an antenna panel of the wireless device;

determine to activate the antenna panel for transmission of a transport block;

determine a slot offset value based on the activation delay of the antenna panel such that the slot offset value is larger than the activation delay; and

transmit, to the wireless device, a downlink control information (DCI) comprising a time domain resource assignment field with the slot offset value, wherein the DCI:

schedules the transmission of the transport block; and

indicates activation of the antenna panel; and

transmit the transport block in a time slot based on the slot offset value.
