Abstract

Method, systems and devices for determining spatial relation and power control parameter for uplink signals. The method for use in a wireless terminal comprises determining at least one of at least one power control parameter or spatial relation for a first uplink signal on a first component carrier, and transmitting, to a wireless network node, the first uplink signal on the first component carrier based on at least one of determined at least one power control parameter or determined spatial relation.

Claims (34)

1. A wireless communication method for use in a wireless terminal, comprising:

receiving a higher layer signaling, wherein the higher layer signaling is configured to determine a first path-loss reference signal (RS) of at least one physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on a first component carrier,

determining the first path-loss RS of the at least one PUSCH on the first component carrier according to a second path-loss RS associated with a sounding reference signal (SRS), wherein the SRS is associated with the at least one PUSCH, and

transmitting, to a wireless network node, the at least one PUSCH on the first component carrier based on the determined first path-loss RS of the at least one PUSCH,

wherein the at least one PUSCH is not configured with a path-loss RS for determining the first path-loss RS,

wherein the first component carrier is not configured with a control resource set (CORESET), and

wherein the second path-loss RS associated with the SRS is determined based on a RS of a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state with the lowest index within at least one TCI state activated for a physical downlink shared channel on the first component carrier.

2. A wireless communication method for use in a wireless network node, comprising:

transmitting, to a wireless terminal, a higher layer signaling, wherein the higher layer signaling is configured to determine a first path-loss reference signal (RS) of at least one physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on a first component carrier, and

receiving, from the wireless terminal, the at least one PUSCH on the first component carrier based on the first path-loss RS,

wherein the first path-loss RS is determined according to a second path-loss RS which is associated with a sounding reference signal (SRS) associated with the at least one PUSCH,

wherein the at least one PUSCH is not configured with a path-loss RS for determining the first path-loss RS,

wherein the first component carrier is not configured with a control resource set (CORESET), and

wherein the second path-loss RS associated with the SRS is determined based on a RS of a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state with the lowest index within at least one TCI state activated for a physical downlink shared channel on the first component carrier.

3. A wireless terminal, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory, which is configured to store at least one program;

wherein the at least one program, when executed by the at least one processor, enables the at least one processor to perform:

receiving a higher layer signaling, wherein the higher layer signaling is configured to determine a first path-loss reference signal (RS) of at least one physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on a first component carrier,

determining the first path-loss RS of the at least one PUSCH on the first component carrier according to a second path-loss RS associated with a sounding reference signal (SRS), wherein the SRS is associated with the at least one PUSCH, and

transmitting, to a wireless network node, the at least one PUSCH on the first component carrier based on the determined first path-loss RS of the at least one PUSCH,

wherein the at least one PUSCH is not configured with a path-loss RS for determining the first path-loss RS,

wherein the first component carrier is not configured with a control resource set (CORESET), and

wherein the second path-loss RS associated with the SRS is determined based on a RS of a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state with the lowest index within at least one TCI state activated for a physical downlink shared channel on the first component carrier.

4. A wireless network node, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory, which is configured to store at least one program;

wherein the at least one program, when executed by the at least one processor, enables the at least one processor to perform:

transmitting, to a wireless terminal, a higher layer signaling, wherein the higher layer signaling is configured to determine a first path-loss reference signal (RS) of at least one physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on a first component carrier, and

receiving, from the wireless terminal, the at least one PUSCH on the first component carrier based on the first path-loss RS,

wherein the first path-loss RS is determined according to a second path-loss RS which is associated with a sounding reference signal (SRS) associated with the at least one PUSCH,

wherein the at least one PUSCH is not configured with a path-loss RS for determining the first path-loss RS,

wherein the first component carrier is not configured with a control resource set (CORESET), and

wherein the second path-loss RS associated with the SRS is determined based on a RS of a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state with the lowest index within at least one TCI state activated for a physical downlink shared channel on the first component carrier.
