Abstract

A wireless device receives configuration parameters, of a cell. The parameters indicates a first reference signal (RS) of a first transmission reception point (TRP) of the cell, a second RS of a second TRP of the cell, random access channel (RACH) resources of a RACH of the cell, and a power offset value for the first TRP. The wireless device adjusts a first received power value of the first RS by the power offset value. The wireless device transmits a preamble, via the RACH resources, to the first TRP in response to selecting the first RS for an RS. The wireless device transmits a preamble, via the RACH resources, to the second TRP in response to selecting the second RS for the RS.

Claims (67)

1. A method comprising:

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

a first reference signal (RS) of a first transmission reception point (TRP) of the cell;

a second RS of a second TRP of the cell;

random access channel (RACH) resources of a RACH of the cell; and

a power offset value for the first TRP; and

after adjusting a first received power value of the first RS by the power offset value, transmitting a preamble, via the RACH resources, to:

the first TRP in response to selecting the first RS for an RS; and

the second TRP in response to selecting the second RS for the RS.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second RS is selected for the RS based on a second received power value of the second RS.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the selection for the RS comprises selecting:

the first RS in response to the adjusted first received power value being higher than the second received power value; and

the second RS in response to the adjusted first received power value being lower than the second receiver power value.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first received power value comprises a first RS received power (RSRP) value and the second received power value comprises a second RSRP value.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters further indicate:

a first RS group associated with the first TRP and comprising the first RS;

a second RS group associated with the second TRP and comprising the second RS; and

an association between the preamble and the RS.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein:

the adjusting is for RSs in the first RS group;

the selecting the first RS for the RS is from the RSs in the first RS group; and

the selecting the second RS for the RS is from the RSs in the second RS group.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the preamble is transmitted with a transmission power based on the RS.

8. 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, indicating:

a first reference signal (RS) of a first transmission reception point (TRP) of the cell;

a second RS of a second TRP of the cell;

random access channel (RACH) resources of a RACH of the cell; and

a power offset value for the first TRP; and

after adjusting a first received power value of the first RS by the power offset value, transmit a preamble, via the RACH resources, to:

the first TRP in response to selecting the first RS for an RS; and

the second TRP in response to selecting the second RS for the RS.

9. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the second RS is selected for the RS based on a second received power value of the second RS.

14. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the preamble is transmitted with a transmission power based on the RS.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless device, cause the wireless device to:

receive configuration parameters, of a cell, indicating:

a first reference signal (RS) of a first transmission reception point (TRP) of the cell;

a second RS of a second TRP of the cell;

random access channel (RACH) resources of a RACH of the cell; and

a power offset value for the first TRP; and

after adjusting a first received power value of the first RS by the power offset value, transmit a preamble, via the RACH resources, to:

the first TRP in response to selecting the first RS for an RS; and

the second TRP in response to selecting the second RS for the RS.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the second RS is selected for the RS based on a second received power value of the second RS.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the selection for the RS comprises selecting:

the first RS in response to the adjusted first received power value being higher than the second received power value; and

the second RS in response to the adjusted first received power value being lower than the second receiver power value.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the first received power value comprises a first RS received power (RSRP) value and the second received power value comprises a second RSRP value.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the configuration parameters further indicate:

a first RS group associated with the first TRP and comprising the first RS;

a second RS group associated with the second TRP and comprising the second RS; and

an association between the preamble and the RS.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the preamble is transmitted with a transmission power based on the RS.
