Abstract

A wireless device may receive message(s) comprising configuration parameters of multiple cells. The wireless device may receive a first DCI indicating scheduling information. The wireless device may determine, based at least on one of the first DCI and a second downlink control parameter, whether the first DCI is for scheduling TB(s) via a single cell, in the multiple cells, or for scheduling TBs via the multiple cells. The wireless device may transmit or may receive the TBs via the multiple cells based on the scheduling information and in response to the determining indicating that the first DCI is for scheduling the TBs via the multiple cells.

Claims (48)

1 . A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more radio resource control messages comprising configuration parameters of a plurality of cells;

receiving a downlink control information (DCI) comprising a first field;

wherein the configuration parameters comprise a first configuration parameter indicating a mapping from a first value of the first field to a first scheduling information and a second scheduling information;

determining whether a second field is present or is not present in the DCI, wherein:

the second field is associated with a sounding reference signal request; and

the presence and absence of the second field in the DCI is based on whether the DCI is for single-cell scheduling or multi-cell scheduling;

determining based on the first value and the mapping:

that the DCI is for scheduling a plurality of transport blocks via a plurality of cells based on a format associated with the DCI; and

based on the first value and the mapping:

the first scheduling information for transmission, via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), or reception, via a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), of a first transport block via a first cell in the plurality of cells; and

the second scheduling information for transmission, via a PUSCH, or reception, via a PDSCH, of a second transport block via a second cell in the plurality of cells;

transmitting, via a PUSCH, or receiving, via a PDSCH, the first transport block via the first cell and based on the first scheduling information; and

transmitting, via a PUSCH, or receiving, via a PDSCH, the second transport block via the second cell and based on the second scheduling information.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters indicate configuration of scheduling multiple cells by a DCI.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of cells comprise a primary cell and one or more secondary cells.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the first cell and the second cell based on a second value of the second field.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters indicate configuration of scheduling multiple cells by a DCI.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of cells comprises a primary cell and one or more secondary cells.

7 . The method of 1 , wherein the DCI comprises a third field.

8 . The method of 7 , wherein a third value of the third field applies to one of the first transport block and the second transport block.

9 . The method of 7 , wherein a third value of the third field applies to one of the first cell and the second cell.

10 . 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 one or more radio resource control messages comprising configuration parameters of a plurality of cells;

receive a downlink control information (DCI) comprising a first field;

11 . The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the configuration parameters indicate configuration of scheduling multiple cells by a DCI.

12 . The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of cells comprises a primary cell and one or more secondary cells.

13 . The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to determine the first cell and the second cell based on a second value of the second field.

14 . The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the configuration parameters indicate configuration of scheduling multiple cells by a DCI.

15 . The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the plurality of cells comprises a primary cell and one or more secondary cells.

17 . The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein a third value of a third field of the DCI applies to one of the first cell and the second cell.

18 . A system comprising:

a base station; and

a wireless device comprising: one or more processors; and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless to: receive, from the base station, one or more radio resource control messages comprising configuration parameters of a plurality of cells; receive a downlink control information (DCI) comprising a first field; wherein the configuration parameters comprise a first configuration parameter indicating a mapping from a value of the first field to a first scheduling information and a second scheduling information; determine whether a second field is present or is not present in the DCI, wherein: the second field is associated with a sounding reference signal request; and the presence and absence of the second field in the DCI is based on whether the DCI is for single-cell scheduling or multi-cell scheduling; determine based on the value and the mapping: that the DCI is for scheduling a plurality of transport blocks via a plurality of cells based on a format associated with the DCI; and based on the first value and the mapping: the first scheduling information for transmission, via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), or reception, via a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), of a first transport block via a first cell in the plurality of cells; and the second scheduling information for transmission, via a PUSCH, or reception, via a PDSCH, of a second transport block via a second cell in the plurality of cells; transmit, via a PUSCH, or receive, via a PDSCH, the first transport block via the first cell and based on the first scheduling information; and transmit, via a PUSCH, or receive, via a PDSCH, the second transport block via the second cell and based on the second scheduling information.
