Abstract

Uplink resources for semi-persistent channel state information (SP-CSI) reports and other uplink transport block transmissions may be managed. If resources allocated to the SP-CSI reports overlap, in time, with resources allocated to the uplink transport block transmissions, a determination of whether to drop an SP-CSI report may be made. Various selection criteria may be used to make this determination.

Claims (76)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, an activation indication of semi-persistent channel state information (SP-CSI) reporting associated with a cell;

receiving, by the wireless device, an uplink grant indicating scheduled transport block transmission associated with the cell; and

based on scheduled transmission of a SP-CSI report via a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) of the cell overlapping, in time, with scheduled transmission of a transport block via a second PUSCH of the cell, and based on one or more selection criteria:

transmitting, via the second PUSCH, the transport block; and

not transmitting, via the first PUSCH, the SP-CSI report.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more selection criteria comprise a timing criterion associated with at least one of:

the first PUSCH; or

the second PUSCH.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the timing criterion comprises a time interval indicated by DCI comprising the uplink grant.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more selection criteria comprise a periodicity criterion, wherein the not transmitting the SP-CSI report is based on a comparison of:

a periodicity associated with transport block transmission; and

a periodicity associated with SP-CSI report transmission.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more selection criteria comprise a size criterion, and wherein the not transmitting the SP-CSI report is based on a size of the transport block.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more selection criteria comprise a size criterion, and wherein the not transmitting the SP-CSI report is based on a comparison of:

a size of the SP-CSI report; and

a size of the transport block.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more selection criteria comprise a priority criterion, and wherein the not transmitting the SP-CSI report is based on a priority of a logical channel associated with the transport block.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising the one or more selection criteria.

9. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, an activation indication of semi-persistent channel state information (SP-CSI) reporting associated with a carrier;

receiving, by the wireless device, an uplink grant indicating a scheduled physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for a transport block associated with the carrier; and

based on a scheduled PUSCH for an SP-CSI report associated with the carrier overlapping, in time, with the scheduled PUSCH for the transport block, and based on one or more selection criteria:

transmitting a first PUSCH comprising the transport block; and

not transmitting a second PUSCH associated with the SP-CSI report.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the one or more selection criteria comprise a timing criterion associated with at least one of:

the first PUSCH; or

the second PUSCH.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the timing criterion comprises a time interval indicated by DCI comprising the uplink grant.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the one or more selection criteria comprise a periodicity criterion, wherein the not transmitting the second PUSCH is based on a comparison of:

a periodicity associated with transport block transmission; and

a periodicity associated with SP-CSI report transmission.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the one or more selection criteria comprise a size criterion, and wherein the not transmitting the second PUSCH is based on a size of the transport block.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the one or more selection criteria comprise a size criterion, and wherein the not transmitting the second PUSCH is based on a comparison of:

a size of the SP-CSI report; and

a size of the transport block.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the one or more selection criteria comprise a priority criterion, and wherein the not transmitting the second PUSCH is based on a priority of a logical channel associated with the transport block.

16. The method of claim 9 , further comprising receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising the one or more selection criteria.

17. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a base station to a wireless device, an activation indication of semi-persistent channel state information (SP-CSI) reporting associated with a cell;

transmitting, to the wireless device, an uplink grant indicating scheduled transport block transmission associated with the cell; and

based on scheduled reception of a SP-CSI report via a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) of the cell overlapping, in time, with scheduled reception of a transport block via a second PUSCH of the cell, and based on one or more selection criteria:

receiving, via the second PUSCH, the transport block; and

not receiving, via the first PUSCH, the SP-CSI report.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the one or more selection criteria comprise a timing criterion associated with at least one of:

the first PUSCH; or

the second PUSCH.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the timing criterion comprises a time interval indicated by DCI comprising the uplink grant.

20. The method of claim 17 , wherein the one or more selection criteria comprise a periodicity criterion, wherein the not receiving the SP-CSI report is based on a comparison of:

a periodicity associated with transport block transmission; and

a periodicity associated with SP-CSI report transmission.

21. The method of claim 17 , wherein the one or more selection criteria comprise a size criterion, and wherein the not receiving the SP-CSI report is based on a size of the transport block.

22. The method of claim 17 , wherein the one or more selection criteria comprise a size criterion, and wherein the not receiving the SP-CSI report is based on a comparison of:

a size of the SP-CSI report; and

a size of the transport block.

23. The method of claim 17 , wherein the one or more selection criteria comprise a priority criterion, and wherein the not receiving the SP-CSI report is based on a priority of a logical channel associated with the transport block.

24. The method of claim 17 , further comprising transmitting, to the wireless device, a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising the one or more selection criteria.

25. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a base station to a wireless device, an activation indication of semi-persistent channel state information (SP-CSI) reporting associated with a carrier;

transmitting, to the wireless device, an uplink grant indicating a scheduled physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for a transport block associated with the carrier; and

based on a scheduled PUSCH for a SP-CSI report associated with the carrier overlapping, in time, with the scheduled PUSCH for the transport block, and based on one or more selection criteria:

receiving a first PUSCH comprising the transport block; and

not receiving a second PUSCH associated with the SP-CSI report.

26. The method of claim 25 , wherein the one or more selection criteria comprise a timing criterion associated with at least one of:

the first PUSCH; or

the second PUSCH.

27. The method of claim 26 , wherein the timing criterion comprises a time interval indicated by DCI comprising the uplink grant.

28. The method of claim 25 , wherein the one or more selection criteria comprise a periodicity criterion, wherein the not receiving the second PUSCH is based on a comparison of:

a periodicity associated with transport block transmission; and

a periodicity associated with SP-CSI report transmission.

29. The method of claim 25 , wherein the one or more selection criteria comprise a size criterion, and wherein the not receiving the second PUSCH is based on a size of the transport block.

30. The method of claim 25 , wherein the one or more selection criteria comprise a size criterion, and wherein the not receiving the second PUSCH is based on a comparison of:

a size of the SP-CSI report; and

a size of the transport block.

31. The method of claim 25 , wherein the one or more selection criteria comprise a priority criterion, and wherein the not receiving the second PUSCH is based on a priority of a logical channel associated with the transport block.

32. The method of claim 25 , further comprising transmitting, to the wireless device, a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising the one or more selection criteria.
