Indicating a subframe of scheduled consecutive subframes for transmission of a sounding reference signal
A wireless device receives a downlink control information (DCI) indicating uplink resources in scheduled consecutive subframes of an unlicensed cell. The DCI comprises: a first field and a second field. The first field indicates a number of the scheduled consecutive subframes for transmission of transport blocks (TBs) by the wireless device. The second field indicates which subframe, of the scheduled consecutive subframes, is for transmission of a sounding reference signal (SRS). The SRS is transmitted in the subframe of the unlicensed cell.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a wireless device, a downlink control information (DCI) indicating uplink resources in scheduled consecutive subframes of an unlicensed cell, wherein the DCI comprises:
a first field indicating a number of the scheduled consecutive subframes for transmission of transport blocks (TBs) by the wireless device; and
a second field indicating which subframe, of the scheduled consecutive subframes, is for transmission of a sounding reference signal (SRS); and
transmitting the SRS in the subframe of the unlicensed cell.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the SRS in the subframe of the unlicensed cell is based on the wireless device being allowed to transmit in the subframe according to a listen before talk procedure.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRS is transmitted in more than one symbol of the subframe.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRS is transmitted in a last symbol of the subframe.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI further comprises a transmit power control (TPC) command employed, at least in part, for calculating a transmit power for the SRS.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second field indicates an offset from a starting subframe of the scheduled consecutive subframes.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI indicates whether an SRS transmission in the scheduled consecutive subframes is triggered.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by a wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters for the unlicensed cell, the configuration parameters comprising one or more SRS parameters.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more SRS parameters comprise an aperiodic SRS configuration parameter.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more SRS parameters comprise one or more common SRS parameters and one or more dedicated SRS parameters.
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 downlink control information (DCI) indicating uplink resources in scheduled consecutive subframes of an unlicensed cell, wherein the DCI comprises:
a first field indicating a number of the scheduled consecutive subframes for transmission of transport blocks (TBs) by the wireless device; and
a second field indicating which subframe, of the scheduled consecutive subframes, is for transmission of a sounding reference signal (SRS); and
transmit the SRS in the subframe of the unlicensed cell.
12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the transmission of the SRS in the subframe of the unlicensed cell is based on the wireless device being allowed to transmit in the subframe according to a listen before talk procedure.
13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the SRS is transmitted in more than one symbol of the subframe.
14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the SRS is transmitted in a last symbol of the subframe.
15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the DCI further comprises a transmit power control (TPC) command employed, at least in part, for calculating a transmit power for the SRS.
16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the second field indicates an offset from a starting subframe of the scheduled consecutive subframes.
17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the DCI indicates whether an SRS transmission in the scheduled consecutive subframes is triggered.
18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive, by a wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters for the unlicensed cell, the configuration parameters comprising one or more SRS parameters.
19. The wireless device of claim 18 , wherein the one or more SRS parameters comprise an aperiodic SRS configuration parameter.
20. A system comprising:
a bases station comprising:
one or more first processors; and
memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the base station to transmit a downlink control information (DCI) indicating uplink resources in scheduled consecutive subframes of an unlicensed cell; 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 device to:
receive the DCI, wherein the DCI comprises:
a first field indicating a number of the scheduled consecutive subframes for transmission of transport blocks (TBs) by the wireless device; and
a second field indicating which subframe, of the scheduled consecutive subframes, is for transmission of a sounding reference signal (SRS); and
transmit the SRS in the subframe of the unlicensed cell.
