Abstract

A wireless device may receive, via at least one control resource set (coreset) of coresets configured for repetitions of downlink control information (DCI), a repetition of the DCI scheduling a transport block. The wireless device may receive the transport block using a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state of a coreset with a lowest coreset index among the coresets in response to: the DCI not comprising a TCI field, and a time offset between the DCI and the transport block being equal to, or greater than, a threshold.

Claims (67)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more configuration parameters indicating a single frequency network (SFN) scheme;

receiving, via at least one control resource set (coreset) of coresets configured for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetition, a repetition of downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

receiving the PDSCH using transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states of the coresets in response to:

the one or more configuration parameters indicating the SFN scheme;

the DCI not comprising a TCI field; and

a time offset between the DCI and the PDSCH being equal to or greater than a threshold.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising monitoring the coresets for repetitions of the DCI in a plurality of PDCCH monitoring occasions.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving one or more messages comprising the one or more configuration parameters.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters further indicate the threshold.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein:

the one or more configuration parameters further indicate coreset indexes for the coresets; and

each coreset of the coresets is identified by a respective coreset index of the coreset indexes.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters further indicate, for the coreset, a coreset index among the coreset indexes of the coresets.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the time offset between the DCI and the PDSCH is a time offset between a PDCCH monitoring occasion, of PDCCH monitoring occasions for the repetition of the DCI, and the PDSCH.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the repetition of the DCI is one of:

a time domain control channel repetition; or

a frequency domain control channel repetition.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

monitoring a second coreset of the coresets that is not configured for PDCCH repetition;

receiving, via the second coreset, a second DCI scheduling a second PDSCH; and

receiving the second PDSCH using a second TCI state of the second coreset in response to:

the second DCI not comprising a TCI field; and

a second time offset between the second DCI and the second PDSCH being equal to or greater than the threshold.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the threshold is a time duration for quasi co-location (timeDurationForQCL).

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 one or more configuration parameters indicating a single frequency network (SFN) scheme;

receive, via at least one control resource set (coreset) of coresets configured for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetition, a repetition of downlink control information (DCII scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

receive the PDSCH using transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states of the coresets in response to:

the one or more configuration parameters indicating the SFN scheme;

the DCI not comprising a TCI field; and

a time offset between the DCI and the PDSCH being equal to or greater than a threshold.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to monitor the coresets for repetitions of the DCI in a plurality of PDCCH monitoring occasions.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive one or more messages comprising the one or more configuration parameters.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters further indicate the threshold.

15. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein:

the one or more configuration parameters further indicate coreset indexes for the coresets;

each coreset of the coresets is identified by a respective coreset index of the coreset indexes; and

the one or more configuration parameters further indicate, for the coreset, a coreset index among the coreset indexes of the coresets.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the time offset between the DCI and the PDSCH is a time offset between a PDCCH monitoring occasion, of PDCCH monitoring occasions for the repetition of the DCI, and the PDSCH.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the repetition of the DCI is one of:

a time domain control channel repetition; or

a frequency domain control channel repetition.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:

monitor a second coreset of the coresets that is not configured for PDCCH repetition;

receive, via the second coreset, a second DCI scheduling a second PDSCH; and

receive the second PDSCH using a second TCI state of the second coreset in response to:

the second DCI not comprising a TCI field; and

a second time offset between the second DCI and the second PDSCH being equal to or greater than the threshold.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the threshold is a time duration for quasi co-location (timeDurationForQCL).

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 one or more configuration parameters indicating a single frequency network (SFN) scheme;

transmit, via control resource sets (coresets) configured for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetition, repetitions of downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

transmit the PDSCH based on transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states of the coresets in response to:

the one or more configuration parameters indicating the SFN scheme;

the DCI not comprising a TCI field; and

a time offset between the DCI and the PDSCH being equal to or greater than a threshold; and

a wireless device comprising 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 the one or more configuration parameters;

receive, via at least one coreset of the coresets, a repetition, of the repetitions, of the DCI; and

receive the PDSCH using the TCI states in response to:

the one or more configuration parameters indicating the SFN scheme;
