Abstract

A wireless device receives configuration parameters of a primary cell and a secondary cell. The secondary cell may be a scheduling cell for the primary cell. The wireless device may monitor, for scheduling information of the primary cell, search space(s) of the secondary cell based on the secondary cell being activated. The wireless device may receive a DCI via the secondary cell and in response to the monitoring. The DCI may comprise a first field and a second field. A first value of the first field may indicate first scheduling information. A second value of the second field may indicate that the first scheduling information is for scheduling the primary cell. The wireless device may receive or transport a transport block via the primary cell and based on the first scheduling information.

Claims (40)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, configuration parameters of a primary cell and a secondary cell, wherein the secondary cell is a scheduling cell for the primary cell;

monitoring, for scheduling information of the primary cell, one or more search spaces of the secondary cell based on the secondary cell being activated;

receiving, via the secondary cell and in response to the monitoring, a downlink control information (DCI) comprising:

a first field with a first value indicating first scheduling information; and

a second field with a second value indicating that the first scheduling information is for scheduling the primary cell; and

receiving or transmitting a transport block via the primary cell and based on the first scheduling information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein one or more first configuration parameters, received by the wireless device, indicate that the secondary cell is the scheduling cell for the primary cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving an activation deactivation medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) indicating activation of the secondary cell.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more search spaces are wireless device specific search spaces.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the primary cell is based on a dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) carrier.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the DSS carrier is shared between a first radio access technology and a second radio access technology.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the configuration parameters comprise first configuration parameters of the one or more search spaces; and

the monitoring is based on the first configuration parameters.

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 configuration parameters of a primary cell and a secondary cell, wherein the secondary cell is a scheduling cell for the primary cell;

monitor, for scheduling information of the primary cell, one or more search spaces of the secondary cell based on the secondary cell being activated;

receive, via the secondary cell and in response to the monitoring, a downlink control information (DCI) comprising:

a first field with a first value indicating first scheduling information; and

a second field with a second value indicating that the first scheduling information is for scheduling the primary cell; and

receive or transmit a transport block via the primary cell and based on the first scheduling information.

9. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein one or more first configuration parameters, received by the wireless device, indicate that the secondary cell is the scheduling cell for the primary cell.

10. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive an activation deactivation medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) indicating activation of the secondary cell.

11. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more search spaces are wireless device specific search spaces.

12. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the primary cell is based on a dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) carrier.

13. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the DSS carrier is shared between a first radio access technology and a second radio access technology.

14. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein:

the configuration parameters comprise first configuration parameters of the one or more search spaces; and

the monitoring is based on the first configuration parameters.

15. A system comprising:

a base station; and

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, from the base station, configuration parameters of a primary cell and a secondary cell, wherein the secondary cell is a scheduling cell for the primary cell; monitor, for scheduling information of the primary cell, one or more search spaces of the secondary cell based on the secondary cell being activated; receive, via the secondary cell and in response to the monitoring, a downlink control information (DCI) comprising: a first field with a first value indicating first scheduling information; and a second field with a second value indicating that the first scheduling information is for scheduling the primary cell; and receive or transmit a transport block via the primary cell and based on the first scheduling information.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein one or more first configuration parameters, received by the wireless device, indicate that the secondary cell is the scheduling cell for the primary cell.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive an activation deactivation medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) indicating activation of the secondary cell.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the one or more search spaces are wireless device specific search spaces.

19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the primary cell is based on a dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) carrier.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the DSS carrier is shared between a first radio access technology and a second radio access technology.
