Abstract

Described are embodiments for uplink beam reporting. A wireless device determines an overlap in time between: a first uplink channel resource of a permissible exposure report for a cell and a second uplink channel resource of a channel state information (CSI) report for the cell. Based on the determined overlap in time, the wireless device drops the CSI report scheduled for transmission via the second uplink channel resource, and transmits the permissible exposure report via the first uplink channel resource.

Claims (52)

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 configuration parameters indicating:

a first uplink channel resource for a permissible exposure report for a cell, wherein the permissible exposure report comprises a power management maximum power reduction (P-MPR) value of a first panel of a plurality of panels of the wireless device; and

a second uplink channel resource for a channel state information (CSI) report for the cell; and

based on an overlap in time between the first uplink resource and the second uplink channel resource:

drop the CSI report scheduled for transmission via the second uplink channel resource; and

transmit the permissible exposure report via the first uplink channel resource.

2 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to determine to drop the CSI report based on:

a first priority of the permissible exposure report and a second priority of the CSI report; and

the overlap in time.

3 . The wireless device of claim 2 , wherein the permissible exposure report is transmitted based on the determination to drop the CSI report.

4 . The wireless device of claim 2 , wherein the first priority indicates a first priority value smaller than a second priority value indicated by the second priority.

5 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the permissible exposure report comprises an index indicating a transmission configuration information (TCI) group corresponding to the first panel.

6 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the permissible exposure report comprises a power headroom report (PHR).

7 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters comprise second parameters of a plurality of transmission configuration information (TCI) states, wherein:

the plurality of TCI states are grouped in TCI groups; and

each TCI group is associated with a corresponding one of the plurality of panels.

8 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters comprise second parameters of a plurality of sounding reference signal resource information (SRI), wherein:

the plurality of SRI are grouped in SRI groups; and

each SRI group is associated with a corresponding one of the plurality of panels.

9 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the permissible exposure report comprises an index indicating an SRI group, of the SRI groups, corresponding to the first panel.

10 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to determine the overlap in time between the first uplink resource and the second uplink channel resource.

11 . A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, configuration parameters indicating:

a first uplink channel resource for a permissible exposure report for a cell, wherein the permissible exposure report comprises a power management maximum power reduction (P-MPR) value of a first panel of a plurality of panels of the wireless device; and

a second uplink channel resource for a channel state information (CSI) report for the cell; and

based on an overlap in time between the first uplink resource and the second uplink channel resource:

dropping the CSI report scheduled for transmission via the second uplink channel resource; and

transmitting the permissible exposure report via the first uplink channel resource.

12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising determining to drop the CSI report based on:

a first priority of the permissible exposure report and a second priority of the CSI report; and

the overlap in time.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the permissible exposure report is transmitted based on the determination to drop the CSI report.

14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the first priority indicates a first priority value smaller than a second priority value indicated by the second priority.

15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the permissible exposure report comprises an index indicating a transmission configuration information (TCI) group corresponding to the first panel.

16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the permissible exposure report comprises a power headroom report (PHR).

17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the configuration parameters comprise second parameters of a plurality of transmission configuration information (TCI) states, wherein:

the plurality of TCI states are grouped in TCI groups; and

each TCI group is associated with a corresponding one of the plurality of panels.

18 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the configuration parameters comprise second parameters of a plurality of sounding reference signal resource information (SRI), wherein:

the plurality of SRI are grouped in SRI groups; and

each SRI group is associated with a corresponding one of the plurality of panels.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the permissible exposure report comprises an index indicating an SRI group, of the SRI groups, corresponding to the first panel.

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 configuration parameters indicating:

a first uplink channel resource for a permissible exposure report for a cell, wherein the permissible exposure report comprises a power management maximum power reduction (P-MPR) value of a first panel of a plurality of panels of the wireless device; and

a second uplink channel resource for a channel state information (CSI) report for the cell; and

based on an overlap in time between the first uplink resource and the second uplink channel resource:

drop the CSI report scheduled for transmission via the second uplink channel resource; and

transmit the permissible exposure report via the first uplink channel resource.
