Abstract

A base station and/or a wireless device may communicate using a plurality of wireless resources. Multiple carriers may be used for a transmission such that portions of the transmission may be transmitted using different carriers. Multiple carrier transmission may be independently configured for each of a plurality of wireless resources.

Claims (66)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages that indicate a hopping pattern for physical resource blocks (PRBs) of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource of a cell, wherein the PRBs comprise a first PRB and a second PRB; and

sending, via the PUCCH resource and based on the hopping pattern, uplink control information (UCI), wherein the sending the UCI comprises:

sending at least a first portion of the UCI via the first PRB and using a first control resource set (CORESET) pool of the cell; and

sending at least a second portion of the UCI via the second PRB and using a second CORESET pool of the cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hopping pattern indicates carrier switching between the sending the at least the first portion of the UCI and the sending the at least the second portion of the UCI.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the sending the at least the first portion of the UCI via the first PRB comprises sending only the first portion of the UCI via the first PRB; and

the sending the at least the second portion of the UCI via the second PRB comprises sending only the second portion of the UCI via the second PRB.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hopping pattern indicates that:

intra-slot frequency hopping is enabled; or

intra-slot frequency hopping is not enabled.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the hopping pattern indicates that intra-slot frequency hopping is enabled,

a first indicator of the first PRB is different from a second indicator of the second PRB, and

the sending the UCI comprises sending the at least the first portion of the UCI and sending the at least the second portion of the UCI via a same slot based on the hopping pattern indicating that intra-slot frequency hopping is enabled.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the first CORESET pool of the cell is associated with a first carrier and the second CORESET pool of the cell is associated with a second carrier;

the configuration parameters indicate first spatial relation information for the first carrier and second spatial relation information for the second carrier;

the sending the at least the first portion of the UCI via the first PRB comprises sending, via the first carrier and based on the first spatial relation information, at least the first portion of the UCI; and

the sending the at least the second portion of the UCI via the second PRB comprises sending, via the second carrier and based on the second spatial relation information, at least the second portion of the UCI.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hopping pattern indicates that inter-carrier hopping is enabled, and wherein the sending the at least the first portion of the UCI using the first CORESET pool and the sending the at least the second portion of the UCI using the second CORESET pool is based on inter-carrier hopping.

8. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages indicating configuration parameters for a cell, wherein the configuration parameters indicate, for a wireless resource:

a first physical resource block (PRB), associated with a first spatial domain filter, for a first portion of an uplink transmission; and

a second PRB, associated with a second spatial domain filter, for a second portion of the uplink transmission; and

sending, via the wireless resource, the uplink transmission, wherein the sending the uplink transmission comprises:

sending the first portion based on the first PRB and the first spatial domain filter; and

sending the second portion based on the second PRB and the second spatial domain filter.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein:

the first spatial domain filter is associated with a first control resource set (CORESET) pool; and

the second spatial domain filter is associated with a second CORESET pool.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the uplink transmission comprises at least one of:

uplink control information; or

a transport block.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the wireless resource comprises at least one of:

a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource; or

a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein:

the first spatial domain filter is associated with a first carrier and the second spatial domain filter is associated with a second carrier;

the sending the first portion comprises transmitting, via the first carrier, the first portion; and

the sending the second portion comprises transmitting, via the second carrier, the second portion.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the configuration parameters indicate that inter-carrier hopping is enabled, and wherein the sending the uplink transmission is based on inter-carrier hopping.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein:

the first portion of the uplink transmission is a first hop of the uplink transmission; and

the second portion of the uplink transmission is a second hop of the uplink transmission, wherein the configuration parameters further indicate a hopping pattern comprising the first hop and the second hop.

15. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages indicating configuration parameters for a cell, wherein the configuration parameters indicate, for a wireless resource:

a first physical resource block (PRB), associated with a first carrier, for a first portion of an uplink transmission; and

a second PRB, associated with a second carrier, for a second portion of the uplink transmission; and

sending, via the wireless resource, the uplink transmission, wherein the sending the uplink transmission comprises:

sending the first portion based on the first PRB; and

sending the second portion based on the second PRB.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein:

the first carrier is associated with a first control resource set (CORESET) pool; and

the second carrier is associated with a second CORESET pool.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the uplink transmission comprises at least one of:

uplink control information; or

a transport block.

18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the wireless resource comprises at least one of:

a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource; or

a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource.

19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the configuration parameters indicate that inter-carrier hopping and intra-slot hopping are enabled.

20. The method of claim 15 , wherein:

the first portion of the uplink transmission is a first hop of the uplink transmission; and

the second portion of the uplink transmission is a second hop of the uplink transmission, wherein the configuration parameters further indicate a hopping pattern comprising the first hop and the second hop.
