Abstract

Claims (60)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, a first downlink control information (DCI):

indicating a first transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state of TCI states, wherein the first TCI state is associated with a first power control parameter and is applicable after a first time instance for uplink channel transmissions;

receiving a second DCI comprising an uplink grant:

scheduling a transport block for transmission via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) at a second time instance; and

indicating a second power control parameter;

selecting, from the first power control parameter and the second power control parameter, a power control parameter associated with an earlier time instance based on a comparison of the first time instance with the second time instance, wherein the first time instance indicates an application time of the first TCI state after a time offset from transmission of an acknowledgement of the transport block;

determining, based on the selecting, a transmit power associated with the power control parameter; and

transmitting, based on the transmit power and via the PUSCH, the transport block.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving configuration parameters of the TCI states, wherein each of the TCI states is associated with a respective power control parameter of power control parameters.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selecting the power control parameter comprises selecting the first power control parameter as the power control parameter in response to the first time instance being equal to or earlier than the second time instance.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting the power control parameter comprises selecting the second power control parameter as the power control parameter in response to the first time instance being later than the second time instance.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first power control parameter or the second power control parameter comprises one or more of:

a pathloss reference signal;

a p0-PUSCH-AlphaSet; and

a closed loop index for power control.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first TCI state is a joint TCI state, a separate TCI state, or an uplink TCI state.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first TCI state is associated with the first power control parameter based on at least one of:

the first TCI state comprising the first power control parameter; or

the first power control parameter being linked with an index of the first TCI state.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink grant comprises a sounding reference signal resource indicator (SRI) indicating the second power control parameter.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

determining an uplink spatial filter based on a selection between the first TCI state and the SRI; and

transmitting the transport block further based on the uplink spatial filter.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first power control parameter is different from the second power control parameter.

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 a first downlink control information (DCI):

indicating a first transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state of TCI states, wherein the first TCI state is associated with a first power control parameter and is applicable after a first time instance for uplink channel transmissions;

receive a second DCI comprising an uplink grant:

scheduling a transport block for transmission via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) at a second time instance; and

indicating a second power control parameter;

select, from the first power control parameter and the second power control parameter, a power control parameter associated with an earlier time instance based on a comparison of the first time instance with the second time instance, wherein the first time instance indicates an application time of the first TCI state after a time offset from transmission of an acknowledgement of the transport block;

determine, based on the power control parameter, a transmit power associated with the power control parameter; and

transmit, based on the transmit power and via the PUSCH, the transport block.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive configuration parameters of the TCI states, wherein each of the TCI states is associated with a respective power control parameter of power control parameters.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to select the first power control parameter as the power control parameter in response to the first time instance being equal to or earlier than the second time instance.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to select the second power control parameter as the power control parameter in response to the first time instance being later than the second time instance.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first power control parameter or the second power control parameter comprises one or more of:

a pathloss reference signal;

a p0-PUSCH-AlphaSet; and

a closed loop index for power control.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first TCI state is a joint TCI state, a separate TCI state, or an uplink TCI state.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first TCI state is associated with the first power control parameter based on at least one of:

the first TCI state comprising the first power control parameter; or

the first power control parameter being linked with an index of the first TCI state.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the uplink grant comprises a sounding reference signal resource indicator (SRI) indicating the second power control parameter.

19. The wireless device of claim 18 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:

determine an uplink spatial filter based on a selection between the first TCI state and the SRI; and

transmit the transport block further based on the uplink spatial filter.

20. 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 first downlink control information (DCI):

indicating a first transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state of TCI states, wherein the first TCI state is associated with a first power control parameter and is applicable after a first time instance for uplink channel transmissions;

receive a second DCI comprising an uplink grant:

scheduling a transport block for transmission via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) at a second time instance; and

indicating a second power control parameter;
