Abstract

A wireless device receives: a value for a discontinuous reception (DRX) inactivity timer; and a semi-persistent channel state information (SP-CSI) radio network temporary identifier (RNTI). receive a first downlink control information (DCI) corresponding to the SP-CSI RNTI is received. The SP-CSI RNTI indicates: activation of SP-CSI reporting; and no uplink grant for uplink packet transmission. The DRX inactivity timer is started based on the first DCI indicating the activation of the SP-CSI reporting. The DRX inactivity timer controls monitoring for DCIs of the SP-CSI RNTI. a transport block is transmitted based on receiving, while the DRX inactivity timer is running, a second DCI.

Claims (56)

1. A method by a wireless device, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, information on at least one channel state information (CSI) trigger state for at least one CSI reporting;

receiving, from the base station, a first downlink control information (DCI) associated with a semi-persistent channel state information (SP-CSI) radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), the first DCI including a CSI request field for activating a CSI trigger state and an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) indicator indicating whether UL-SCH is transmitted or not; and

transmitting, to the base station, an SP-CSI report on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the first DCI,

wherein the UL-SCH is transmitted in case that a value of UL-SCH indicator is 1, and

wherein the UL-SCH is not transmitted in case that value of UL-SCH indicator is 0.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the CSI trigger state is one of the at least one CSI trigger state for the at least one CSI reporting.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the base station, a value for a discontinuous reception (DRX) inactivity timer; and

receiving, from the base station, a second DCI while the DRX inactivity timer is running based on the first DCI.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

monitoring a control channel in response to the DRX inactivity timer running.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first DCI indicates resources for transmitting the SP-CSI report.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first DCI indicates transmission of the SP-CSI report via the PUSCH.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein the wireless device is in DRX active time in response to the DRX inactivity timer running.

8. A wireless device comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to control to:

receive, from a base station, information on at least one channel state information (CSI) trigger state for at least one CSI reporting,

receive, from the base station, a first downlink control information (DCI) associated with a semi-persistent channel state information (SP-CSI) radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), the first DCI including a CSI request field for activating a CSI trigger state and an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) indicator indicating whether UL-SCH is transmitted or not, and

transmit, to the base station, an SP-CSI report on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the first DCI,

wherein the UL-SCH is transmitted in case that a value of UL-SCH indicator is 1, and

wherein the UL-SCH is not transmitted in case that value of UL-SCH indicator is 0.

9. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the CSI trigger state is one of the at least one CSI trigger state for the at least one CSI reporting.

10. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to control to:

receive, from the base station, a value for a discontinuous reception (DRX) inactivity timer, and

receive, from the base station, a second DCI while the DRX inactivity timer is running based on the first DCI.

11. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to control to monitor a control channel in response to the DRX inactivity timer running.

12. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the first DCI indicates resources for transmitting the SP-CSI report.

13. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the first DCI indicates transmission of the SP-CSI report via the PUSCH.

14. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the wireless device is in DRX active time in response to the DRX inactivity timer running.

15. A method by a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a wireless device, information on at least one channel state information (CSI) trigger state for at least one CSI reporting;

transmitting, to the wireless device, a first downlink control information (DCI) associated with a semi-persistent channel state information (SP-CSI) radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), the first DCI including a CSI request field for activating a CSI trigger state and an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) indicator indicating whether UL-SCH is transmitted or not; and

receiving, from the wireless device, a SP-CSI report on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the first DCI,

wherein the UL-SCH is received in case that a value of UL-SCH indicator is 1, and

wherein the UL-SCH is not received in case that value of UL-SCH indicator is 0.

16. The method of claim 15 ,

wherein the CSI trigger state is the at least one CSI trigger state for the at least one CSI reporting.

17. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the wireless device, a value for a discontinuous reception (DRX) inactivity timer; and

transmitting, to the wireless device, a second DCI while the DRX inactivity timer is running based on the first DCI.

18. A base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to control to:

transmit, to a wireless device, information on at least one channel state information (CSI) trigger state for at least one CSI reporting,

transmit, to the wireless device, a first downlink control information (DCI) associated with a semi-persistent channel state information (SP-CSI) radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), the first DCI including a CSI request field for activating a CSI trigger state and an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) indicator indicating whether UL-SCH is transmitted or not, and

receive, from the wireless device, a SP-CSI report on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the first DCI,

wherein the UL-SCH is received in case that a value of UL-SCH indicator is 1, and

wherein the UL-SCH is not received in case that value of UL-SCH indicator is 0.

19. The base station of claim 18 ,

wherein the CSI trigger state is one of the at least one CSI trigger state for the at least one CSI reporting.

20. The base station of claim 18 , wherein the processor is further configured to control to:

transmit, to the wireless device, a value for a discontinuous reception (DRX) inactivity timer, and

transmit, to the wireless device, a second DCI while the DRX inactivity timer is running based on the first DCI.
