Abstract

Claims (79)

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 message comprising:

a first sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set identifier of a first SRS resource set of a serving cell; and

a second SRS resource set identifier of a second SRS resource set of the serving cell; and

transmit a power headroom report (PHR) medium access control control element (MAC CE) comprising:

a first field indicating a first power headroom value associated with the first SRS resource set; and

a second field indicating a second power headroom value associated with the second SRS resource set;

wherein an order of the first field and the second field in the PHR MAC CE is based on an ascending order of the first SRS resource set identifier and the second SRS resource set identifier.

2. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein:

the first SRS resource set comprises one or more first SRS resources; and

the second SRS resource set comprises one or more second SRS resources.

3. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first SRS resource set or the second SRS resource set is associated with a time domain behavior that is:

periodic;

semi-persistent; or

aperiodic.

4. The wireless device of claim 3 , wherein the aperiodic time domain behavior is triggered by one or more trigger types.

5. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein a particular logical channel identifier (LCID) of the PHR MAC CE indicates the PHR MAC CE is a single entry PHR MAC CE or a multiple entry PHR MAC CE.

6. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the PHR MAC CE further comprises at least one of:

a presence/absence indicator field indicating that power headroom is associated with a corresponding serving cell of a serving cell index;

a reservation field;

a power headroom mode indicator indicating whether a power headroom value is based on a real transmission or a reference format;

a power backoff indicator indicating whether power backoff is applied; or

a configured transmit power for a serving cell used for determining a preceding power headroom field.

7. The wireless device of claim 6 , wherein the presence/absence indicator field is represented in:

a single octet bitmap if a highest serving cell index of the serving cell with configured uplink is less than 8; or

a four octet bitmap if the highest serving cell index of the serving cell with configured uplink is equal to or higher than 8.

8. 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 message comprising:

a first sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set identifier of a first SRS resource set of a serving cell; and

a second SRS resource set identifier of a second SRS resource set of the serving cell; and

receive, from the wireless device, a power headroom report (PHR) medium access control control element (MAC CE) comprising:

a first field indicating a first power headroom value associated with the first SRS resource set; and

a second field indicating a second power headroom value associated with the second SRS resource set;

wherein an order of the first field and the second field in the PHR MAC is based on an ascending order of the first SRS resource set identifier and the second SRS resource set identifier.

9. The base station of claim 8 , wherein:

the first SRS resource set comprises one or more first SRS resources; and

the second SRS resource set comprises one or more second SRS resources.

10. The base station of claim 8 , wherein at least one of the first SRS resource set or the second SRS resource set is associated with a time domain behavior that is:

periodic;

semi-persistent; or

aperiodic.

11. The base station of claim 10 , wherein the aperiodic time domain behavior is triggered by one or more trigger types.

12. The base station of claim 8 , wherein a particular logical channel identifier (LCID) of the PHR MAC CE indicates the PHR MAC CE is a single entry PHR MACE CE or a multiple entry PHR MAC CE.

13. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the PHR MAC CE further comprises at least one of:

a presence/absence indicator field indicating that power headroom is associated with a corresponding serving cell of a serving cell index;

a reservation field;

a power headroom mode indicator indicating whether a power headroom value is based on a real transmission or a reference format;

a power backoff indicator indicating whether power backoff is applied; or

a configured transmit power for a serving cell used for determining a preceding power headroom field.

14. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the presence/absence indicator field is represented in:

a single octet bitmap if a highest serving cell index of the serving cell with configured uplink is less than 8; or

a four octet bitmap if the highest serving cell index of the serving cell with configured uplink is equal to or higher than 8.

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 a radio resource control message comprising:

a first sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set identifier of a first SRS resource set of a serving cell; and

a second SRS resource set identifier of a second SRS resource set of the serving cell; and

transmit a power headroom report (PHR) medium access control control element (MAC CE) comprising:

a first field indicating a first power headroom value associated with the first SRS resource set; and

a second field indicating a second power headroom value associated with the second SRS resource set;

wherein an order of the first field and the second field in the PHR MAC CE is based on an ascending order of the first SRS resource set identifier and the second SRS resource set identifier.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein at least one of the first SRS resource set or the second SRS resource set is associated with a time domain behavior that is:

periodic;

semi-persistent; or

aperiodic.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the aperiodic time domain behavior is triggered by one or more trigger types.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein a particular logical channel identifier (LCID) of the PHR MAC CE indicates the PHR MAC CE is a single entry PHR MAC CE or a multiple entry PHR MAC CE.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the PHR MAC CE further comprises at least one of:

a presence/absence indicator field indicating that power headroom is associated with a corresponding serving cell of a serving cell index;

a reservation field;

a power headroom mode indicator indicating whether a power headroom value is based on a real transmission or a reference format;

a power backoff indicator indicating whether power backoff is applied; or

a configured transmit power for a serving cell used for determining a preceding power headroom field.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the presence/absence indicator field is represented in:

a single octet bitmap if a highest serving cell index of the serving cell with configured uplink is less than 8; or

a four octet bitmap if the highest serving cell index of the serving cell with configured uplink is equal to or higher than 8.
