Abstract

A wireless device receives configuration parameters, of a cell, that indicate: first control resource sets (coresets) associated with a first coreset pool index, and second coresets associated with a second coreset pool index. A downlink control information is received that indicates a coreset pool index and a power saving indication indicating a power saving operation on the cell. The wireless device applies the power saving operation on the first coresets, of the cell, based on the coreset pool index, in the downlink control information, being the first coreset pool index.

Claims (75)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, configuration parameters of a cell, the configuration parameters indicating:

first control resource sets (coresets) associated with a first coreset pool index; and

second coresets associated with a second coreset pool index;

receiving a downlink control information indicating:

a coreset pool index; and

a power saving indication indicating a power saving operation on the cell; and

applying the power saving operation on the first coresets, of the cell, based on the coreset pool index, in the downlink control information, being the first coreset pool index.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters comprise, for each coreset of the first coresets and the second coresets, at least one of:

a respective coreset identifier identifying the coreset;

a respective frequency resource indication indicating frequency resources for the coreset;

a respective time duration parameter indicating a number of symbols of the coreset;

a respective control channel element (CCE) resource element group (REG) mapping type indicator; and

a respective coreset pool index indicating one of the first coreset pool index and the second coreset pool index.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

monitoring downlink control channels in the first coresets; and

monitoring the downlink control channels in the second coresets.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters are received in one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink control information is received via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the cell.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the applying the power saving operation on the first coresets comprises skipping monitoring downlink control channels on the first coresets for a time duration.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the first coresets are associated with a first transmission and reception point (TRP) of a plurality of TRPs of a base station; and

the second coresets are associated with a second TRP of the plurality of TRPs.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

not applying the power saving operation on the second coresets based on the coreset pool index being different from the second coreset pool index.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein not applying the power saving operation on the second coresets comprises continuing monitoring downlink control channels in the second coresets.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a second downlink control information comprising a second power saving indication indicating the power saving operation on the cell and not comprising the coreset pool index; and

applying the power saving operation on the first coresets and the second coresets of the cell in response to the coreset pool index being absent from the second downlink control information.

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 configuration parameters of a cell, the configuration parameters indicating:

first control resource sets (coresets) associated with a first coreset pool index; and

second coresets associated with a second coreset pool index;

receive a downlink control information indicating:

a coreset pool index; and

a power saving indication indicating a power saving operation on the cell; and

apply the power saving operation on the first coresets, of the cell, based on the coreset pool index, in the downlink control information, being the first coreset pool index.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the configuration parameters comprise, for each coreset of the first coresets and the second coresets, at least one of:

a respective coreset identifier identifying the coreset;

a respective frequency resource indication indicating frequency resources for the coreset;

a respective time duration parameter indicating a number of symbols of the coreset;

a respective control channel element (CCE) resource element group (REG) mapping type indicator; and

a respective coreset pool index indicating one of the first coreset pool index and the second coreset pool index.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to:

monitor downlink control channels in the first coresets; and

monitor the downlink control channels in the second coresets.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the configuration parameters are received in one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the downlink control information is received via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the cell.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein to apply the power saving operation on the first coresets, the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to skip monitoring downlink control channels on the first coresets for a time duration.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein:

the first coresets are associated with a first transmission and reception point (TRP) of a plurality of TRPs of a base station; and

the second coresets are associated with a second TRP of the plurality of TRPs.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to:

not apply the power saving operation on the second coresets based on the coreset pool index being different from the second coreset pool index, wherein the not applying the power saving operation comprises continue monitoring downlink control channels in the second coresets.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to:

receive a second downlink control information comprising a second power saving indication indicating the power saving operation on the cell and not comprising the coreset pool index; and

apply the power saving operation on the first coresets and the second coresets of the cell in response to the coreset pool index being absent from the second downlink control information.

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 configuration parameters of a cell, the configuration parameters indicating:

first control resource sets (coresets) associated with a first coreset pool index; and

second coresets associated with a second coreset pool index; and

transmit a downlink control information indicating:

a coreset pool index; and

a power saving indication indicating a power saving operation on the cell; 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 configuration parameters of the cell;

receive the downlink control information; and

apply the power saving operation on the first coresets, of the cell, based on the coreset pool index, in the downlink control information, being the first coreset pool index.
