Abstract

A wireless device receives a radio resource control (RRC) release message including: an identifier of a first downlink reference signal (RS) of downlink RSs of a cell; parameters of an uplink resource, corresponding to the first downlink RS, for use in transmission during an RRC inactive state; and a first threshold. In the RRC inactive state, the wireless device transmits a transport block via the uplink resource validated for use in transmission during the RRC inactive state. The uplink resource is validated in response to a reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement value, based on the first downlink RS, not having increased by more than the first threshold when compared to a reference RSRP measurement value.

Claims (48)

1. 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 a radio resource control (RRC) release message comprising:

an identifier of a first downlink reference signal (RS) of downlink RSs of a cell;

parameters of an uplink resource, corresponding to the first downlink RS, for use in transmission during an RRC inactive state; and

a first threshold; and

transmit, in the RRC inactive state, a transport block via the uplink resource validated for use in transmission during the RRC inactive state, wherein the uplink resource is validated in response to a reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement value, based on the first downlink RS, not having increased by more than the first threshold when compared to a reference RSRP measurement value.

2. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the RRC release message indicates a second threshold, and wherein the uplink resource is validated further in response to the reference RSRP measurement value not having decreased by more than the second threshold when compared to the reference RSRP measurement value.

3. The wireless device of claim 2 , wherein the second threshold is a value in decibels.

4. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the first threshold is a value in decibels.

5. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the reference RSRP measurement value is a previous RSRP measurement value.

6. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the downlink RSs comprise synchronization signal blocks (SSBs).

7. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the downlink RSs comprise channel state information (CSI) RSs.

8. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the RSRP measurement value being based on the first downlink RS comprises the RSRP measurement value of the first downlink RS.

9. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the RSRP measurement value of the first downlink RS is the highest value among RSRP measurement values of the downlink RSs.

10. The wireless device of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a cell measurement value, of the cell, based on one or more RSRP measurement values of one or more respective downlink RSs of the downlink RSs, wherein the uplink resource is validated further in response to the one or more downlink RSs comprising the first downlink RS.

11. A base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

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

an identifier of a first downlink reference signal (RS) of downlink RSs of a cell;

parameters of an uplink resource, corresponding to the first downlink RS, for use in transmission during an RRC inactive state; and

a first threshold; and

receive, from the wireless device in the RRC inactive state, a transport block via the uplink resource validated for use in transmission during the RRC inactive state, wherein the uplink resource is validated in response to a reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement value, based on the first downlink RS, not having increased by more than the first threshold when compared to a reference RSRP measurement value.

12. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the RRC release message indicates a second threshold, and wherein the uplink resource is validated further in response to the reference RSRP measurement value not having decreased by more than the second threshold when compared to the reference RSRP measurement value.

13. The base station of claim 12 , wherein the second threshold is a value in decibels.

14. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the first threshold is a value in decibels.

15. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the reference RSRP measurement value is a previous RSRP measurement value.

16. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the downlink RSs comprise synchronization signal blocks (SSBs).

17. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the downlink RSs comprise channel state information (CSI) RSs.

18. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the RSRP measurement value being based on the first downlink RS comprises the RSRP measurement value of the first downlink RS.

19. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the RSRP measurement value of the first downlink RS is the highest value among RSRP measurement values of the downlink RSs.

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 a radio resource control (RRC) release message comprising:

an identifier of a first downlink reference signal (RS) of downlink RSs of a cell;

parameters of an uplink resource, corresponding to the first downlink RS, for use in transmission during an RRC inactive state; and

a first threshold; and

receive a transport block via the uplink resource validated for use in transmission during the RRC inactive state; 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 RRC release message comprising the identifier of the first downlink RS, the parameters of the uplink resource, and the first threshold; and

transmit, in the RRC inactive state, the transport block via the uplink resource validated for use in transmission during the RRC inactive state, wherein the uplink resource is validated in response to a reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement value, based on the first downlink RS, not having increased by more than the first threshold when compared to a reference RSRP measurement value.
