Abstract

In some embodiments, a wireless device receives a radio resource control (RRC) release message including an identifier of a first synchronization signal block (SSB) among a plurality of SSBs and one or more resource parameters of an uplink resource, corresponding to the first SSB, for use in an RRC inactive state. The wireless device transmits a transport block via the uplink resource, based on determining that the uplink resource is valid for use in the RRC inactive state. The wireless device determines that the uplink resource is valid based on a beam measurement value of the first SSB being higher than or equal to a first threshold.

Claims (54)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state, an RRC release message comprising:

an identifier of a first synchronization signal block (SSB) among a plurality of SSBs of a cell;

one or more resource parameters of an uplink resource, corresponding to the first SSB, for use in transmission during an RRC inactive state; and

a first threshold for validating the transmission via the uplink resource;

transitioning, based on the RRC release message, from the RRC connected state to the RRC inactive state;

determining that the uplink resource is valid for use in the transmission during the RRC inactive state, in response to a beam measurement value of the first SSB being higher than or equal to the first threshold; and

transmitting, based on the determining, a transport block via the uplink resource.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RRC release message further indicates a second threshold for validating the transmission via the uplink resource, and wherein the determining the uplink resource is valid is further based on the beam measurement value of the first SSB being lower than the second threshold.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the beam measurement value comprises a reference signal received power (RSRP) of the first SSB.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the uplink resource is valid further comprises:

determining a cell measurement value, of the cell, based on RSRPs of one or more SSBs of the plurality of SSBs.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the cell measurement value is based on an average value of the RSRPs of the one or more SSBs.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the determining the uplink resource is valid is further based on the one or more SSBs comprising the first SSB.

7. The method of claim 4 , further comprising selecting the cell, from a plurality of cells, based on the cell measurement value being higher than or equal to a third threshold.

8. The method of claim 4 , further comprising receiving system information, of the cell, indicating a number of the one or more SSBs to select from the plurality of SSBs.

9. The method of claim 4 , further comprising selecting the one or more SSBs, from the plurality of the SSBs, based on the RSRPs of the plurality of the SSBs.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transport block is transmitted with the wireless device being in the RRC inactive state.

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, in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state, an RRC release message comprising:

an identifier of a first synchronization signal block (SSB) among a plurality of SSBs of a cell;

one or more resource parameters of an uplink resource, corresponding to the first SSB, for use in transmission during an RRC inactive state; and

a first threshold for validating the transmission via the uplink resource;

transition, based on the RRC release message, from the RRC connected state to the RRC inactive state;

determine that the uplink resource is valid for use in the transmission during the RRC inactive state, in response to a beam measurement value of the first SSB being higher than or equal to the first threshold; and

transmit, based on the determining, a transport block via the uplink resource.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the RRC release message further indicates a second threshold for validating the transmission via the uplink resource, and wherein the determination of the uplink resource being valid is further based on the beam measurement value of the first SSB being lower than the second threshold.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the beam measurement value comprises a reference signal received power (RSRP) of the first SSB.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein to determine the uplink resource is valid, the instructions further cause the wireless device to:

determine a cell measurement value, of the cell, based on RSRPs of one or more SSBs of the plurality of SSBs.

15. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the cell measurement value is based on an average value of the RSRPs of the one or more SSBs.

16. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the determination of the uplink resource being valid is further based on the one or more SSBs comprising the first SSB.

17. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to select the cell, from a plurality of cells, based on the cell measurement value being higher than or equal to a third threshold.

18. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive system information, of the cell, indicating a number of the one or more SSBs to select from the plurality of SSBs.

19. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to select the one or more SSBs, from the plurality of the SSBs, based on the RSRPs of the plurality of the SSBs.

20. A system comprising:

a base station comprising:

one or more first processors; and

first memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the base station to:

transmit, to a wireless device in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state, an RRC release message comprising:

an identifier of a first synchronization signal block (SSB) among a plurality of SSBs of a cell;

one or more resource parameters of an uplink resource, corresponding to the first SSB, for use in transmission during an RRC inactive state; and

a first threshold for validating the transmission via the uplink resource;

transition, for the wireless device and based on the RRC release message, from the RRC connected state to the RRC inactive state; and

receive, via the uplink resource, a transport block based on determination of the uplink resource being valid for use in the transmission during the RRC inactive state, wherein the uplink resource being valid is in response to a beam measurement value of the first SSB being higher than or equal to the first threshold; and

the wireless device comprises:

one or more second processors; and

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

receive, in the RRC connected state, the RRC release message;

transition, based on the RRC release message, from the RRC connected state to the RRC inactive state;

determine that the uplink resource is valid for use in the transmission during the RRC inactive state, in response to the beam measurement value of the first SSB being higher than or equal to the first threshold; and

transmit, based on the determining, the transport block via the uplink resource.
