[0005] The embodiments may be configured to operate as needed. The disclosed mechanisms may be executed when certain criteria are met, for example, in a wireless device, a base station, a wireless environment, a network, a combination of the above, etc. Exemplary criteria may be based at least in part, for example, on wireless device or network node configuration, traffic load, initial system setup, packet size, traffic characteristics, a combination of the above, etc. Various exemplary embodiments may be applied when one or more criteria are met. Thus, it may be possible to implement exemplary embodiments that selectively implement the disclosed protocols.

[0006] A base station may communicate with a mix of wireless devices. Wireless devices and / or base stations may support multiple technologies and / or multiple releases of the same technology. Wireless devices may have some specific capabilities depending on the category and / or capabilities of the wireless devices. When this disclosure refers to a base station communicating with multiple wireless devices, this disclosure may refer to a subset of all wireless devices in the coverage area. This disclosure may refer to multiple wireless devices of a given LTE or 5G release, including a given capability, and in a given sector of the base station. Multiple wireless devices in this disclosure may refer to selected multiple wireless devices and / or a subset of all wireless devices in the coverage area that perform according to the disclosed methods, etc. There may be multiple base stations or multiple wireless devices in the coverage area that may not comply with the disclosed methods. For example, those wireless devices or base stations perform based on older releases of LTE or 5G technology.

[0007] As used herein, "a" and "an" and similar phrases are to be interpreted as "at least one" and "one or more". Similarly, any term ending with the suffix "(s)" should be interpreted as "at least one" and "one or more". As used herein, the term "may" should be interpreted as "may be, for example". In other words, the term "may" indicates that the phrase following the term "may" is an example of multiple preferred possibilities and may or may not be used by one or more of the various embodiments. As used herein, the terms "comprises" and "consists of" recite one or more components of a described element. The term "comprises" is interchangeable with "includes" and does not exclude unrecited components included in the described element. In contrast, "consists of" provides a complete recitation of one or more components of a described element. As used herein, the term "based on" should be interpreted as "based at least in part on" rather than, for example, "based only on". As used herein, the term "and / or" refers to any possible combination of the listed elements. For example, "A, B, and / or C" can refer to A, B, C, A and B, A and C, B and C, or A, B, and C.

[0008] If A and B are sets and every element of A is also an element of B, then A is said to be a subset of B. Only non-empty sets and subsets are considered herein. For example, possible subsets of B={cell1, cell2} are {cell1}, {cell2}, and {cell1, cell2}. The phrase "based on" (or equivalently "based at least on") indicates that the phrase following the term "based on" is one example of many suitable possibilities that may or may not be used in one or more of the various embodiments. The phrase "in response to" (or equivalently "at least in response to") indicates that the phrase following the phrase "in response to" is one example of many suitable possibilities that may or may not be used in one or more of the various embodiments. The phrase "in response to" (or equivalently "at least in response to") indicates that the phrase following the phrase "in response to" is one example of many suitable possibilities that may or may not be used in one or more of the various embodiments. The phrase "uses" (or, equivalently, "uses at least") indicates that the phrase following the phrase "uses" is one example of many suitable possibilities that may or may not be used in one or more of the various embodiments.

[0009] The term configured may relate to the capacity of a device, whether the device is in an operational or non-operational state. Configured may refer to a particular setting of a device that affects the operational characteristics of the device, whether the device is in an operational or non-operational state. In other words, hardware, software, firmware, registers, memory values, etc. may be "configured" within a device, whether the device is in an operational or non-operational state, to provide the device with a particular characteristic. A term such as "a control message originating at a device" may mean that the control message has parameters that can be used to configure a particular characteristic in the device or to implement a particular action in the device, whether the device is in an operational or non-operational state.

[0010] In this disclosure, a parameter (or equivalently referred to as a field, or information element: IE) may contain one or more information objects, which may contain one or more other objects. For example, if parameter (IE)N contains parameter (IE)M, which contains parameter (IE)K, which contains parameter (IE)J, then, e.g., N contains K and N contains J. In an exemplary embodiment, when one or more messages contain multiple parameters, it means that a parameter of the multiple parameters is included in at least one of the one or more messages, but need not be included in each of the one or more messages.

[0011] Many of the presented features are described as optional by the use of "may" or by the use of parentheses. For the sake of brevity and readability, this disclosure does not explicitly describe each and every variation that may be obtained by selecting from a set of optional features. This disclosure should be construed as explicitly disclosing all such variations. For example, a system described as having three optional features may be embodied in seven ways, i.e., with only one of the three possible features, any two of the three features, or three of the three features.

[0012] Many of the elements described in the disclosed embodiments may be implemented as modules, where a module is defined as an element that performs a defined function and has a defined interface to other elements. The modules described in this disclosure may be implemented in hardware, software in combination with hardware, firmware, wetware (e.g., hardware with biological components), or a combination thereof, which may be behaviorally equivalent. For example, a module may be implemented in software routines written in a computer language configured to run on a hardware machine (C, C++, Fortran, Java, Basic, Matlab, etc.) or Simulink, Stateflow, GNU Octave, or LabVIEW MathScript. It may also be possible to implement modules using physical hardware incorporating discrete or programmable analog, digital, and / or quantum hardware. Examples of programmable hardware include computers, microcontrollers, microprocessors, application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs). Computers, microcontrollers, and microprocessors are programmed using languages ​​such as assembly, C, C++, etc. FPGAs, ASICs, and CPLDs are often programmed using Hardware Description Languages ​​(HDLs) such as Verilog or VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL), which configure the connections between the internal hardware modules with fewer functions of the programmable device. To achieve a functional modular result, the above techniques are often used in combination.

[0013] 1A illustrates an example of a mobile communication network 100 in which an embodiment of the present disclosure may be implemented. The mobile communication network 100 may be, for example, a public land mobile network (PLMN) run by a network operator. As shown in FIG. 1A, the mobile communication network 100 includes a core network (CN) 102, a radio access network (RAN) 104, and a wireless device 106.

[0014] The CN 102 may provide the wireless device 106 with an interface to one or more data networks (DNs), such as a public DN (e.g., the Internet), a private DN, and / or an intra-operator DN. As part of its interfacing function, the CN 102 may set up an end-to-end connection between the wireless device 106 and one or more DNs, authenticate the wireless device 106, and provide charging functionality.

[0015] The RAN 104 may connect the CN 102 to the wireless devices 106 via wireless communication over the air interface. As part of the wireless communication, the RAN 104 may provide scheduling, radio resource management, and retransmission protocols. The communication direction over the air interface from the RAN 104 to the wireless devices 106 is known as the downlink, and the communication direction over the air interface from the wireless devices 106 to the RAN 104 is known as the uplink. The downlink transmission may be separated from the uplink transmission using frequency division duplexing (FDD), time division duplexing (TDD), and / or some combination of the two duplexing techniques.

[0016] The term wireless device may be used throughout this disclosure to refer to and encompass any mobile or fixed (non-portable) device for which wireless communication is required or available. For example, a wireless device may be a phone, a smartphone, a tablet, a computer, a laptop, a sensor, a meter, a wearable device, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, a vehicular roadside unit (RSU), a relay node, an automobile, and / or any combination thereof. The term wireless device encompasses other terms, including user equipment (UE), user terminal (UT), access terminal (AT), mobile station, handset, wireless transmit / receive unit (WTRU), and / or wireless communication device.

[0017] The RAN 104 may include one or more base stations (not shown). The term base station may be used throughout this disclosure to refer to and encompass a Node B (associated with UMTS and / or 3G standards), an evolved Node B (eNB, associated with E-UTRA and / or 4G standards), a remote radio head (RRH), a baseband processing unit coupled to one or more RRHs, a repeater node or relay node used to extend the coverage area of ​​a donor node, a next generation evolved Node B (ng-eNB), a generation Node B (gNB, associated with NR and / or 5G standards), an access point (AP, e.g., associated with WiFi or other suitable wireless communication standards), and / or any combination thereof. A base station may include at least one gNB central unit (gNB-CU) and at least one gNB distributed unit (gNB-DU).

[0018] The base stations included in the RAN 104 may include one or more sets of antennas for communicating over the air interface with the wireless devices 106. For example, one or more base stations may include three sets of antennas for controlling three cells (or sectors) respectively. The size of a cell may be determined by the range over which a receiver (e.g., a base station receiver) can successfully receive transmissions from a transmitter (e.g., a wireless device transmitter) operating in the cell. Together, the cells of the base stations may provide wireless coverage to the wireless devices 106 over a wide geographic area to support wireless device mobility.

[0019] In addition to three sector sites, other implementations of base stations are possible. For example, one or more base stations of the RAN 104 may be implemented as a sector site having more or less than three sectors. One or more base stations of the RAN 104 may be implemented as an access point, as a baseband processing unit coupled to multiple remote radio heads (RRHs), and / or as a repeater or relay node used to extend the coverage area of ​​a donor node. The baseband processing unit coupled to the RRHs may be part of a centralized or cloud RAN architecture, and the baseband processing unit may be centralized or virtualized within a pool of baseband processing units. The repeater node may amplify and rebroadcast the wireless signal received from the donor node. The relay node may perform the same / similar functions as the repeater node, but may decode the wireless signal received from the donor node and remove noise before amplifying and rebroadcasting the wireless signal.

[0020] The RAN 104 may be deployed as a homogeneous network of macrocell base stations having similar antenna patterns and similar high-level transmission power. The RAN 104 may be deployed as a heterogeneous network. In a heterogeneous network, small cell base stations may be used to provide small coverage areas, e.g., coverage areas that overlap with the relatively large coverage areas provided by macrocell base stations. Small coverage areas may be provided in areas of high data traffic (or so-called hot spots) or areas where macrocell coverage is weak. Examples of small cell base stations include, in order of decreasing coverage area, microcell base stations, picocell base stations, and femtocell or home base stations.

[0021] The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP®) was formed in 1998 to provide global standardization of specifications for mobile communication networks similar to the mobile communication network 100 of FIG. 1A. To date, 3GPP® has produced specifications for three generations of mobile networks: a third generation (3G) network known as Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), a fourth generation (4G) network known as Long Term Evolution (LTE), and a fifth generation (5G) network known as 5G System (5GS). Embodiments of the present disclosure are described with reference to a RAN of a 3GPP® 5G network, referred to as Next Generation RAN (NG-RAN). Embodiments may be applicable to the RAN of other mobile communication networks, such as the RAN 104 of FIG. 1A, RANs of earlier 3G and 4G networks, and future networks yet to be specified (e.g., a 3GPP® 6G network). NG-RAN implements the 5G radio access technology known as New Radio (NR), and may be provisioned to implement other radio access technologies, including 4G radio access technologies or non-3GPP radio access technologies.

[0022] FIG. 1B illustrates another example mobile communication network 150 in which embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented. The mobile communication network 150 may be, for example, a PLMN run by a network operator. As shown in FIG. 1B, the mobile communication network 150 includes a 5G core network (5G-CN) 152, an NG-RAN 154, and a UE 156A and a UE 156B (collectively, UE 156). These components may be implemented and operate in the same or similar manner as the corresponding components described with respect to FIG. 1A.

[0023] 5G-CN 152 provides UE 156 with an interface to one or more DNs, such as a public DN (e.g., Internet), a private DN, and / or an intra-operator DN. As part of the interface function, 5G-CN 152 may set up an end-to-end connection between UE 156 and one or more DNs, authenticate UE 156, and provide charging functions. Compared to the CNs of 3GPP 4G networks, the base of 5G-CN 152 may be a service-based architecture. This means that the architecture of the nodes constituting 5G-CN 152 may be defined as network functions that provide services via interfaces to other network functions. The network functions of 5G-CN 152 may be implemented in several ways: as network elements on dedicated or shared hardware, as software instances running on dedicated or shared hardware, or as virtualized functions instantiated on a platform (e.g., a cloud-based platform).

[0024] As shown in FIG. 1B, the 5G-CN 152 includes an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) 158A and a User Plane Function (UPF) 158B, shown as one component AMF / UPF 158 in FIG. 1B for ease of description. The UPF 158B may act as a gateway between the NG-RAN 154 and one or more DNs. The UPF 158B may perform functions such as packet routing and forwarding, packet inspection and enforcement of user plane policy rules, traffic usage reporting, uplink classification to support routing of traffic flows to one or more DNs, quality of service (QoS) processing for the user plane (e.g., packet filtering, gating, uplink / downlink rate enforcement, and uplink traffic validation), downlink packet buffering, and downlink data notification triggering. The UPF 158B may act as an anchor point for intra / inter radio access technology (RAT) mobility, an external protocol (or packet) data unit (PDU) session point interconnected to one or more DNs, and / or a branching point to support multi-homed PDU sessions. The UE 156 may be configured to receive services via a PDU session, which is a logical connection between the UE and the DN.

[0025] The AMF 158A may perform functions such as termination of Non-Access Stratum (NAS) signaling, NAS signaling security, Access Stratum (AS) security control, inter-CN node signaling for mobility between 3GPP® access networks, idle mode UE reachability (e.g., control and execution of paging retransmissions), registration area management, intra-system and inter-system mobility support, access authentication, access authorization including checking roaming rights, mobility management control (subscription and policy), support for network slicing, and / or selection of a Session Management Function (SMF). NAS may refer to a function operating between the CN and the UE, and AS may refer to a function operating between the UE and the RAN.

[0026] 5G-CN 152 may include one or more additional network functions not shown in FIG. 1B for clarity. For example, 5G-CN 152 may include one or more of a Session Management Function (SMF), an NR Repository Function (NRF), a Policy Control Function (PCF), a Network Exposure Function (NEF), a Unified Data Management (UDM), an Application Function (AF), and / or an Authentication Server Function (AUSF).

[0027] The NG-RAN 154 may connect the 5G-CN 152 to the UE 156 via wireless communication over the air interface. The NG-RAN 154 may include one or more gNBs (collectively gNB 160), illustrated as gNB 160A and gNB 160B, and / or one or more ng-eNBs (collectively ng-eNB 162), illustrated as ng-eNB 162A and ng-eNB 162B. The gNBs 160 and ng-eNB 162 may be more generally referred to as base stations. The gNBs 160 and ng-eNB 162 may include one or more sets of antennas for communicating with the UE 156 over the air interface. For example, one or more of the gNBs 160 and / or one or more of the ng-eNBs 162 may include three sets of antennas for controlling three cells (or sectors), respectively. Together, the gNB160 and ng-eNB162 cells may provide radio coverage to the UE156 over a wide geographic area to support UE mobility.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 1B, the gNB 160 and / or the ng-eNB 162 may be connected to the 5G-CN 152 by an NG interface and to other base stations by an Xn interface. The NG and Xn interfaces may be established using direct physical connections and / or indirect connections over an underlying transport network, such as an Internet Protocol (IP) transport network. The gNB 160 and / or the ng-eNB 162 may be connected to the UE 156 by a Uu interface. For example, as shown in FIG. 1B, the gNB 160A may be connected to the UE 156A by a Uu interface. The NG, Xn, and Uu interfaces are associated with protocol stacks. The protocol stacks associated with the interfaces may be used by the network elements of FIG. 1B to exchange data and signaling messages and may include two planes: a user plane and a control plane. The user plane may process data of interest to a user. The control plane may process signaling messages of interest to the network elements.

[0029] The gNB 160 and / or the ng-eNB 162 may be connected to one or more AMF / UPF functions of the 5G-CN 152, such as the AMF / UPF 158, by one or more NG interfaces. For example, the gNB 160A may be connected to the UPF 158B of the AMF / UPF 158 by an NG-User Plane (NG-U) interface. The NG-U interface may provide for the provision of user plane PDUs between the gNB 160A and the UPF 158B (e.g., non-guaranteed delivery). The gNB 160A may be connected to the AMF 158A using an NG Control Plane (NG-C) interface. The NG-C interface may provide, for example, NG interface management, UE context management, UE mobility management, forwarding of NAS messages, paging, PDU session management, and configuration forwarding and / or alert message transmission.

[0030] The gNB 160 may provide NR user plane and control plane protocol terminations towards the UE 156 on the Uu interface. For example, the gNB 160A may provide NR user plane and control plane protocol terminations towards the UE 156A on the Uu interface associated with a first protocol stack. The ng-eNB 162 may provide Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) user plane and control plane protocol terminations towards the UE 156 on the Uu interface, where E-UTRA refers to a 3GPP 4G radio access technology. For example, the ng-eNB 162B may provide E-UTRA user plane and control plane protocol terminations towards the UE 156B on the Uu interface associated with a second protocol stack.

[0031] The 5G-CN 152 has been described as being configured to handle NR and 4G radio access. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that it may be possible for the NR to connect to a 4G core network in a mode known as "non-standalone operation." In non-standalone operation, the 4G core network is used to provide (or at least support) control plane functions (e.g., initial access, mobility, and paging). Although only one AMF / UPF 158 is shown in FIG. 1B, one gNB or ng-eNB may be connected to multiple AMF / UPF nodes to provide redundancy and / or load sharing across multiple AMF / UPF nodes.

[0032] As discussed in Figure 1B, interfaces between network elements (e.g., Uu, Xn, and NG interfaces) may be associated with protocol stacks that the network elements use to exchange data and signaling messages. The protocol stacks may include two planes: a user plane and a control plane. The user plane may handle data of interest to a user, and the control plane may handle signaling messages of interest to the network elements.

[0033] Figures 2A and 2B show example NR user plane and NR control plane protocol stacks, respectively, for the Uu interface between a UE 210 and a gNB 220. The protocol stacks shown in Figures 2A and 2B may be the same or similar to those used for the Uu interface between a UE 156A and a gNB 160A shown in Figure 1B, for example.

[0034] 2A shows an NR user plane protocol stack including five layers implemented in the UE 210 and the gNB 220. At the bottom of the protocol stack, physical layers (PHYs) 211 and 221 may provide transport services to the higher layers of the protocol stack and may correspond to layer 1 of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. The next four protocols above the PHYs 211 and 221 include media access control layers (MAC) 212 and 222, radio link control layers (RLC) 213 and 223, packet data convergence protocol layers (PDCP) 214 and 224, and service data application protocol layers (SDAP) 215 and 225. Together, these four protocols may constitute layer 2 or the data link layer of the OSI model.

[0035] FIG. 3 illustrates an embodiment of services provided between protocol layers of the NR user plane protocol stack. Starting from the top of FIG. 2A and FIG. 3, the SDAPs 215 and 225 may perform QoS flow processing. The UE 210 may receive services via a PDU session, which may be a logical connection between the UE 210 and the DN. The PDU session may have one or more QoS flows. The UPF (e.g., UPF 158B) of the CN may map IP packets to one or more QoS flows of the PDU session based on the QoS requirements (e.g., in terms of delay, data rate, and / or error rate). The SDAPs 215 and 225 may perform mapping / de-mapping between one or more QoS flows and one or more data radio bearers. The mapping / de-mapping between the QoS flows and the data radio bearers may be determined by the SDAP 225 at the gNB 220. The SDAP 215 at the UE 210 may be informed of the mapping between the QoS flows and the data radio bearers via reflected mapping or control signaling received from the gNB 220. For reflective mapping, the SDAP 225 at the gNB 220 may mark the downlink packets with a QoS flow indicator (QFI) that may be observed by the SDAP 215 at the UE 210 to determine mapping / demapping between QoS flows and data radio bearers.

[0036] The PDCPs 214 and 224 may perform header compression / decompression to reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted over the air interface, encryption / decryption to prevent unauthorized decoding of data transmitted over the air interface, and integrity protection (to ensure that control messages originate from the intended source). The PDCPs 214 and 224 may perform, for example, retransmission of undelivered packets, in-sequence delivery and reordering of packets, and removal of duplicate received packets for intra-gNB handover. The PDCPs 214 and 224 may perform packet duplication to improve the likelihood of a packet being received and remove any duplicate packets at the receiver. Packet duplication may be useful for services that require high reliability.

[0037] Although not shown in FIG. 3, the PDCPs 214 and 224 may perform mapping / demapping between split radio bearers and RLC channels in a dual connectivity scenario. Dual connectivity is a technique that allows a UE to connect to two cells, or more generally, two cell groups, a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG). A split bearer is when a single radio bearer, such as one of the radio bearers provided by the PDCPs 214 and 224 as a service to the SDAPs 215 and 225, is handled by a cell group in dual connectivity. The PDCPs 214 and 224 may map / demap the split radio bearer between the RLC channels belonging to the cell group.

[0038] The RLCs 213 and 223 may perform segmentation, retransmission through automatic repeat request (ARQ), and removal of duplicate data units received from the MACs 212 and 222, respectively. The RLCs 213 and 223 may support three transmission modes: transparent mode (TM), unacknowledged mode (UM), and acknowledged mode (AM). Based on the transmission mode in which the RLC is operating, the RLC may perform one or more of the indicated functions. This RLC configuration may be per logical channel independent of numerology and / or transmission time interval (TTI) duration. As shown in FIG. 3, the RLCs 213 and 223 may provide RLC channels as services to the PDCPs 214 and 224, respectively.

[0039] The MACs 212 and 222 may perform multiplexing / demultiplexing of logical channels and / or mapping between logical channels and transport channels. Multiplexing / demultiplexing may include multiplexing / demultiplexing of data units belonging to one or more logical channels to / from a transport block (TB) delivered to / from the PHYs 211 and 221. The MAC 222 may be configured to perform scheduling, scheduling information reporting, and priority handling between UEs by dynamic scheduling. Scheduling may be performed in the gNB 220 (at the MAC 222) for downlink and uplink. The MACs 212 and 222 may be configured to perform error correction, priority handling between logical channels of the UE 210 by logical channel prioritization, and / or padding through hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) (e.g., one HARQ entity per carrier in case of carrier aggregation (CA)). The MACs 212 and 222 may support one or more numerologies and / or transmission timings. In one embodiment, mapping restrictions on logical channel prioritization may control which numerology and / or transmission timing a logical channel may use. As shown in Figure 3, MACs 212 and 222 may offer logical channels as services to RLCs 213 and 223.

[0040] The PHYs 211 and 221 may perform mapping of transport channels to physical channels and digital and analog signal processing functions to transmit and receive information over the air interface. These digital and analog signal processing functions may include, for example, coding / decoding and modulation / demodulation. The PHYs 211 and 221 may perform multi-antenna mapping. As shown in FIG. 3, the PHYs 211 and 221 may provide one or more transport channels as a service to the MACs 212 and 222.

[0041] 4A illustrates an example of a downlink data flow through an NR user plane protocol stack. FIG. 4A illustrates a downlink data flow of three IP packets (n, n+1, and m) through the NR user plane protocol stack, generating two TBs at the gNB 220. The uplink data flow through the NR user plane protocol stack may be similar to the downlink data flow illustrated in FIG. 4A.

[0042] The downlink data flow in Figure 4A begins when the SDAP 225 receives three IP packets from one or more QoS flows and maps the three packets to radio bearers. In Figure 4A, the SDAP 225 maps IP packets n and n+1 to the first radio bearer 402 and maps IP packet m to the second radio bearer 404. An SDAP header (labeled "H" in Figure 4A) is added to the IP packets. Data units from / to the higher protocol layer are referred to as service data units (SDUs) of the lower protocol layer, and data units to / from the lower protocol layer are referred to as protocol data units (PDUs) of the higher protocol layer. As shown in Figure 4A, the data units from the SDAP 225 are the SDUs of the lower protocol layer PDCP 224 and the PDUs of the SDAP 225.

[0043] The remaining protocol layers in FIG. 4A may perform the relevant functions (e.g., with respect to FIG. 3), add corresponding headers, and forward their respective outputs to the next lower layer. For example, PDCP 224 may perform IP header compression and encryption and forward its output to RLC 223. RLC 223 may optionally perform segmentation (e.g., as shown for IP packet m in FIG. 4A) and forward its output to MAC 222. MAC 222 may multiplex several RLC PDUs and attach MAC subheaders to the RLC PDUs to form a transport block. In NR, the MAC subheader may be distributed throughout the MAC PDU, as shown in FIG. 4A. In LTE, the MAC subheader may be located entirely at the beginning of the MAC PDU. The NR MAC PDU structure may reduce processing time and associated delays because the MAC PDU subheaders may be calculated before the complete MAC PDU is assembled.

[0044] 4B shows an example format of a MAC subheader in a MAC PDU. The MAC subheader includes an SDU length field to indicate the length (e.g., in bytes) of the MAC SDU it corresponds to, a logical channel identifier (LCID) field to identify the logical channel on which the MAC SDU originated to aid in the demultiplexing process, a flag (F) to indicate the size of the SDU length field, and a reserved bit (R) field for future use.

[0045] FIG. 4B further illustrates MAC Control Elements (CEs) inserted into the MAC PDU by a MAC, such as MAC 223 or MAC 222. For example, FIG. 4B illustrates two MAC CEs inserted into the MAC PDU. MAC CEs may be inserted at the beginning of the MAC PDU for downlink transmission (as shown in FIG. 4B) and at the end of the MAC PDU for uplink transmission. MAC CEs may be used for in-band control signaling. Examples of MAC CEs include scheduling-related MAC CEs, such as buffer status reports and power headroom reports, enable / disable MAC CEs, such as for PDCP duplicate detection enable / disable, channel state information (CSI) reports, sounding reference signal (SRS) transmissions, and pre-configured components, discontinuous reception (DRX)-related MAC CEs, timing advancement MAC CEs, and random access-related MAC CEs. MAC CEs may be preceded by a MAC subheader of a format similar to that described for the MAC SDU and may be identified with a reserved value in the LCID field indicating the type of control information included in the MAC CE.

[0046] Before describing the NR control plane protocol stack, we first describe logical, transport, and physical channels and the mapping between channel types. One or more channels may be used to perform functions related to the NR control plane protocol stack, as described below.

[0047] 5A and 5B show the mapping between logical, transport, and physical channels for the downlink and uplink, respectively. Information is passed through channels between the RLC, MAC, and PHY of the NR protocol stack. Logical channels may be used between the RLC and MAC and may be classified as control channels, which carry control and configuration information in the NR control plane, or as traffic channels, which carry data in the NR user plane. Logical channels may be classified as dedicated logical channels, which are dedicated to a particular UE, or as common logical channels, which may be used by two or more UEs. Logical channels may also be defined by the type of information they carry. The set of logical channels defined by NR includes, for example, - a paging control channel (PCCH) for carrying paging messages used to page UEs whose location is unknown to the network at the cell level; A Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) for carrying system information messages in the form of a Master Information Block (MIB) and several System Information Blocks (SIBs), which may be used by UEs to obtain information about how the cell is configured and how to operate within the cell; and - a Common Control Channel (CCCH) for carrying control messages along with random access; - a dedicated control channel (DCCH) for carrying control messages to and from a specific UE for configuring the UE; - A Dedicated Traffic Channel (DTCH) for carrying user data to and from a particular UE.

[0048] Transport channels are used between the MAC and PHY layers and may be defined by how the information they carry is transmitted over the air interface. The set of transport channels defined by NR is, for example, -A paging channel (PCH) for carrying paging messages originating from the PCCH; - a Broadcast Channel (BCH) for carrying the MIB from the BCCH; - a downlink shared channel (DL-SCH) for carrying downlink data and signaling messages, including SIBs from the BCCH; - an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) for carrying uplink data and signaling messages; A Random Access Channel (RACH) that allows a UE to connect to the network without prior scheduling.

[0049] The PHY can pass information between processing levels of the PHY using physical channels. A physical channel may have an associated set of time-frequency resources for carrying information for one or more transport channels. The PHY generates control information to support the lower level operation of the PHY and may provide control information to the lower levels of the PHY via physical control channels known as L1 / L2 control channels. The set of physical channels and physical control channels defined by NR includes, for example: - a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) for carrying the MIB from the BCH; A Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) for carrying downlink data and signaling messages from the DL-SCH and paging messages from the PCH; A Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) for carrying downlink control information (DCI), which may include downlink scheduling commands, uplink scheduling grants, and uplink power control commands; A Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) for carrying uplink data and signaling messages from the UL-SCH and, in some examples, uplink control information (UCI), as described below; A physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for carrying UCI, which may include a HARQ acknowledgement, a channel quality indicator (CQI), a precoding matrix indicator (PMI), a rank indicator (RI), and a scheduling request (SR); A Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) for random access.

[0050] Similar to the physical control channel, the physical layer generates physical signals to support the low-level operations of the physical layer. As shown in Figures 5A and 5B, the physical layer signals defined by NR include the Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), the Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), the Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), the Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS), the Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), and the Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PT-RS). These physical layer signals are described in more detail below.

[0051] FIG. 2B illustrates one embodiment of an NR control plane protocol stack. As shown in FIG. 2B, the NR control plane protocol stack may use the first four protocol layers that are the same / similar to the example NR user plane protocol stack. These four protocol layers include PHY 211 and 221, MAC 212 and 222, RLC 213 and 223, and PDCP 214 and 224. Instead of having SDAP 215 and 225 at the top of the stack as in the NR user plane protocol stack, the NR control plane stack has radio resource control (RRC) 216 and 226, and NAS protocols 217 and 237 at the top of the NR control plane protocol stack.

[0052] The NAS protocols 217 and 237 may provide control plane functions between the UE 210 and the AMF 230 (e.g., AMF 158A), or more generally, between the UE 210 and the CN. The NAS protocols 217 and 237 may provide control plane functions between the UE 210 and the AMF 230 via signaling messages called NAS messages. There is no direct path between the UE 210 and the AMF 230 over which NAS messages can be transported. NAS messages can be transported using the AS of the Uu and NG interfaces. The NAS protocols 217 and 237 may provide control plane functions such as authentication, security, connection setup, mobility management, and session management.

[0053] The RRCs 216 and 226 may provide a control plane function between the UE 210 and the gNB 220, or more generally, between the UE 210 and the RAN. The RRCs 216 and 226 may provide a control plane function between the UE 210 and the gNB 220 via signaling messages, referred to as RRC messages. The RRC messages may be transported between the UE 210 and the RAN using signaling radio bearers and the same / similar PDCP, RLC, MAC, and PHY protocol layers. The MAC may multiplex the control plane and user plane data within the same transport block (TB). The RRCs 216 and 226 may provide control plane functions such as broadcasting of system information related to the AS and the NAS, paging initiated by the CN or the RAN, establishment, maintenance, and release of an RRC connection between the UE 210 and the RAN, security functions including key management, establishment, configuration, maintenance, and release of signaling and data radio bearers, mobility functions, QoS management functions, UE measurement reporting and reporting control, Radio Link Failure (RLF) detection and recovery, and / or NAS message forwarding. As part of establishing an RRC connection, the RRCs 216 and 226 may establish an RRC context, which may involve setting parameters for communications between the UE 210 and the RAN.

[0054] 6 is an example diagram illustrating RRC state transitions of a UE. The UE may be the same as or similar to the wireless device 106 shown in FIG. 1A, the UE 210 shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, or any other wireless device described in this disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, the UE may be in at least one of three RRC states: RRC connected 602 (e.g., RRC-CONNECTED), RRC idle 604 (e.g., RRC-IDLE), and RRC inactive 606 (e.g., RRC-INACTIVE).

[0055] In the RRC connection 602, the UE has an established RRC context and may have at least one RRC connection with a base station. The base station may be similar to one of the base stations included in the RAN 104 shown in FIG. 1A, one of the gNB 160 or ng-eNB 162 shown in FIG. 1B, the gNB 220 shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, or any other base station described in this disclosure. The base station to which the UE is connected may have an RRC context for the UE. The RRC context, referred to as the UE context, may include parameters for communication between the UE and the base station. These parameters may include, for example, one or more AS contexts, one or more radio link configuration parameters, bearer configuration information (e.g., related to data radio bearers, signaling radio bearers, logical channels, QoS flows, and / or PDU sessions), security information, and / or PHY, MAC, RLC, PDCP, and / or SDAP layer configuration information. In the RRC connection 602, the mobility of the UE may be managed by the RAN (e.g., the RAN 104 or the NG-RAN 154). The UE may measure signal levels (e.g., reference signal levels) from the serving cell and neighboring cells and report these measurements to the base station currently serving the UE. The UE's serving base station may request a handover to a cell of one of the neighboring base stations based on the reported measurements. The RRC state may transition from RRC Connected 602 to RRC Idle 604 via a Connection Release procedure 608 or to RRC Inactive 606 via a Connection Deactivation procedure 610.

[0056] In RRC Idle 604, an RRC context may not be established for the UE. In RRC Idle 604, the UE may not have an RRC connection with a base station. While in RRC Idle 604, the UE may be in a sleep state most of the time (e.g., to conserve battery power). The UE may wake up periodically (e.g., once every discontinuous reception cycle) to monitor for paging messages from the RAN. UE mobility may be managed by the UE through a procedure known as cell reselection. The RRC state may transition from RRC Idle 604 to RRC Connected 602 via a connection establishment procedure 612, which may involve a random access procedure as discussed in more detail below.

[0057] In RRC Inactive 606, previously established RRC context is maintained in the UE and base station. This reduces signaling overhead and allows for a faster transition to RRC Connected 602 compared to transition from RRC Idle 604 to RRC Connected 602. In RRC Inactive 606, the UE is in a sleep state and UE mobility may be managed by the UE through cell reselection. The RRC state may transition from RRC Inactive 606 to RRC Connected 602 by a Connection Resume procedure 614 or to RRC Idle 604 via a Connection Release procedure 616 that is the same as or similar to the Connection Release procedure 608.

[0058] The RRC states may be associated with mobility management mechanisms. In RRC IDLE 604 and RRC INACTIVE 606, mobility is managed by the UE through cell reselection. The purpose of mobility management in RRC IDLE 604 and RRC INACTIVE 606 is to allow the network to inform the UE of events via paging messages without broadcasting the paging messages throughout the entire mobile communication network. The mobility management mechanisms used in RRC IDLE 604 and RRC INACTIVE 606 may allow the network to track the UE on a cell group level, so that paging messages may be broadcast on the cells of the cell group in which the UE currently resides instead of the entire mobile communication network. The mobility management mechanisms in RRC IDLE 604 and RRC INACTIVE 606 track the UE on a cell group level. They may do so using different granularity groupings. For example, there may be three levels of granularity of cell grouping: individual cells, cells within a RAN area identified by a RAN Area Identifier (RAI), and cells within a group of RAN areas called a Tracking Area and identified by a Tracking Area Identifier (TAI).

[0059] The tracking area may be used to track the UE at the CN level. The CN (e.g., CN 102 or 5G-CN 152) may provide the UE with a list of TAIs associated with the UE registration area. If the UE moves, through cell reselection, to a cell associated with a TAI that is not included in the list of TAIs associated with the UE registration area, the UE may perform a registration update with the CN to allow the CN to update the UE's location and provide the UE with a new UE registration area.

[0060] The RAN area may be used to track the UE at the RAN level. For a UE in RRC inactive 606 state, a RAN notification area may be assigned to the UE. The RAN notification area may include one or more cell identities, a list of RAIs, or a list of TAIs. In one embodiment, a base station may belong to one or more RAN notification areas. In one embodiment, a cell may belong to one or more RAN notification areas. If the UE moves through cell reselection to a cell that is not included in the RAN notification area assigned to the UE, the UE may perform a notification area update with the RAN to update the RAN notification area of ​​the UE.

[0061] A base station that stores an RRC context for a UE or a last serving base station for the UE may be referred to as an anchor base station. The anchor base station may maintain the RRC context for the UE at least during the time that the UE remains in the RAN notification area of ​​the anchor base station and / or during the time that the UE remains in RRC inactive 606.

[0062] A gNB, such as gNB 160 in FIG. 1B, can be divided into two parts: a central unit (gNB-CU) and one or more distributed units (gNB-DU). The gNB-CU can be coupled to one or more gNB-DUs using an F1 interface. The gNB-CU can include RRC, PDCP, and SDAP. The gNB-DU can include RLC, MAC, and PHY.

[0063] In NR, physical signals and physical channels (discussed with respect to FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B) may be mapped onto orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. OFDM is a multicarrier communication scheme that transmits data on F orthogonal subcarriers (or tones). Before transmission, the data may be mapped to a series of complex symbols (e.g., M-quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) or M-phase shift keying (M-PSK) symbols), referred to as source symbols, which are split into F parallel symbol streams. The F parallel symbol streams may be treated as if they were in the frequency domain and used as input to an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) block that transforms them into the time domain. The IFFT block may take F source symbols, one at a time, from each of the F parallel symbol streams and use each source symbol to modulate the amplitude and phase of one of the F sinusoidal basis functions corresponding to the F orthogonal subcarriers. The output of the IFFT block may be F time domain samples that represent a sum of the F orthogonal subcarriers. The F time domain samples may form a single OFDM symbol. After some processing (e.g., adding a cyclic prefix) and upconversion, the OFDM symbols provided by the IFFT block may be transmitted over the air interface at a carrier frequency. The F parallel symbol streams may be mixed using an FFT block before being processed by the IFFT block. This processing produces a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) precoded OFDM symbol, which can be used by UEs in the uplink to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). Inverse processing may be performed on the OFDM symbols at the receiver using an FFT block to recover the data mapped to the source symbols.

[0064] FIG. 7 illustrates an example configuration of an NR frame in which OFDM symbols are grouped. An NR frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN). The SFN may repeat at a period of 1024 frames. As illustrated, one NR frame may be 10 milliseconds (ms) in duration and may include 10 subframes that are 1 ms in duration. The subframes may be divided into slots that include, for example, 14 OFDM symbols per slot.

[0065] The duration of a slot may depend on the numerology used for the OFDM symbol of the slot. In NR, flexible numerology is supported to accommodate different cell deployments (e.g., cells with carrier frequencies less than 1 GHz up to cells with carrier frequencies in the mm-wave range). Numerology may be defined in terms of subcarrier spacing and cyclic prefix duration. For numerology in NR, subcarrier spacing may be scaled up by powers of 2 from a baseline subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz, and cyclic prefix duration may be scaled down by powers of 2 from a baseline cyclic prefix duration of 4.7 μs. For example, NR defines numerology with the following subcarrier spacing / cyclic prefix duration combinations: 15 kHz / 4.7 μs, 30 kHz / 2.3 μs, 60 kHz / 1.2 μs, 120 kHz / 0.59 μs, and 240 kHz / 0.29 μs.

[0066] A slot may have a fixed number of OFDM symbols (e.g., 14 OFDM symbols). Numerologies with higher subcarrier spacing have shorter slot durations and correspondingly more slots per subframe. Figure 7 illustrates this numerology-dependent slot duration and slot transmission structure per subframe (for ease of illustration, a numerology with 240 kHz subcarrier spacing is not shown in Figure 7). Subframes in NR may be used as a numerology-independent time reference, while slots may be used as the unit by which uplink and downlink transmissions are scheduled. To support low latency, scheduling in NR is decoupled from the slot duration and may start at any OFDM symbol and continue for as many symbols as necessary for transmission. These partial slot transmissions may be referred to as minislot or subslot transmissions.

[0067] FIG. 8 shows an example configuration of a slot in the time and frequency domain of an NR carrier. A slot includes resource elements (REs) and resource blocks (RBs). An RE is the smallest physical resource in NR. An RE spans one OFDM symbol in the time domain by one subcarrier in the frequency domain as shown in FIG. 8. An RB spans 12 consecutive REs in the frequency domain as shown in FIG. 8. An NR carrier may be limited to a width of 275 RBs or 275×12=3300 subcarriers. Such limitations, if used, may limit an NR carrier to 50, 100, 200, and 400 MHz for subcarrier spacings of 15, 30, 60, and 120 kHz, respectively, and the 400 MHz bandwidth may be set based on the 400 MHz per carrier bandwidth limit.

[0068] Figure 8 shows a single numerology used across the entire bandwidth of an NR carrier. In other example configurations, multiple numerologies may be supported on the same carrier.

[0069] NR may support a wide range of carrier bandwidths (e.g., up to 400 MHz with 120 kHz subcarrier spacing). Not all UEs may be able to receive the full carrier bandwidth (e.g., hardware limitations, etc.). Also, receiving the full carrier bandwidth may be prohibitive from a UE power consumption perspective. In one embodiment, to reduce power consumption and / or for other purposes, the UE may adapt the size of its reception bandwidth based on the amount of traffic the UE is scheduled to receive. This is referred to as bandwidth adaptation.

[0070] NR defines a bandwidth portion (BWP) to support UEs that cannot receive the entire carrier bandwidth and to support bandwidth adaptation. In one embodiment, a BWP may be defined by a subset of contiguous RBs on a carrier. A UE may be configured (e.g., via the RRC layer) with one or more downlink BWPs and one or more uplink BWPs per serving cell (e.g., up to four downlink BWPs and up to four uplink BWPs per serving cell). At a given time, one or more of the BWPs configured for a serving cell may be active. These one or more BWPs may be referred to as the active BWPs of the serving cell. When a serving cell is configured with a secondary uplink carrier, the serving cell may have one or more first active BWPs on the uplink carrier and one or more second active BWPs on the secondary uplink carrier.

[0071] For unpaired spectrum, a downlink BWP from a set of configured downlink BWPs may be linked with an uplink BWP from a set of configured uplink BWPs if the downlink BWP index of the downlink BWP and the uplink BWP index of the uplink BWP are the same. For unpaired spectrum, the UE may expect the center frequency of the downlink BWP to be the same as the center frequency of the uplink BWP.

[0072] For a downlink BWP in a set of configured downlink BWPs on a primary cell (PCell), the base station may configure the UE with one or more control resource sets (CORESETs) for at least one search space. A search space is a set of locations in the time and frequency domain where the UE can find control information. The search space may be a UE-specific search space or a common search space (potentially usable by multiple UEs). For example, the base station may configure the UE with a common search space on a PCell or a primary secondary cell (PSCell) in an active downlink BWP.

[0073] For an uplink BWP in a set of configured uplink BWPs, the BS may configure the UE with one or more resource sets for one or more PUCCH transmissions. The UE may receive downlink receptions (e.g., PDCCH or PDSCH) in the downlink BWP according to the configured numerology (e.g., subcarrier spacing and cyclic prefix duration) for the downlink BWP. The UE may transmit uplink transmissions (e.g., PUCCH or PUSCH) in the uplink BWP according to the configured numerology (e.g., subcarrier spacing and cyclic prefix length for the uplink BWP).

[0074] One or more BWP indicator fields may be provided in the downlink control information (DCI). A value of the BWP indicator field may indicate which BWP of a set of configured BWPs is an active downlink BWP for one or more downlink receptions. A value of the one or more BWP indicator fields may indicate an active uplink BWP for one or more uplink transmissions.

[0075] The base station may semi-statically configure the UE with a default downlink BWP in a set of configured downlink BWPs associated with the PCell. If the base station does not provide a default downlink BWP for the UE, the default downlink BWP may be the initial active downlink BWP. The UE may determine which BWP is the initial active downlink BWP based on the CORESET configuration obtained using the PBCH.

[0076] The base station may configure the UE with a BWP inactivity timer value for the PCell. The UE may start or restart the BWP inactivity timer at any appropriate time. For example, the UE may start or restart the BWP inactivity timer when (a) the UE detects a DCI indicating an active downlink BWP other than a default downlink BWP for paired spectrum operation, or (b) the UE detects a DCI indicating an active downlink BWP or an active uplink BWP other than a default downlink BWP or an uplink BWP for unpaired spectrum operation. If the UE does not detect a DCI for a certain period of time (e.g., 1 ms or 0.5 ms), the UE may run the BWP inactivity timer towards expiration (e.g., increase from 0 to the BWP inactivity timer value or decrease from the BWP inactivity timer value to 0). When the BWP inactivity timer expires, the UE may switch from the active downlink BWP to the default downlink BWP.

[0077] In one embodiment, a base station may semi-statically configure a UE with one or more BWPs, and the UE may switch the active BWP from a first BWP to a second BWP in response to receiving a DCI indicating the second BWP as the active BWP and / or in response to expiration of a BWP inactivity timer (e.g., if the second BWP is a default BWP).

[0078] Downlink and uplink BWP switching (BWP switching refers to switching from a currently active BWP to a currently inactive BWP) may be performed independently in paired spectrum. In unpaired spectrum, downlink and uplink BWP switching may be performed simultaneously. Switching between configured BWPs may occur based on RRC signaling, DCI, expiration of a BWP inactivity timer, and / or initiation of random access.

[0079] FIG. 9 illustrates an example of bandwidth adaptation using three configured BWPs for an NR carrier. A UE configured with three BWPs may switch from one BWP to another BWP at a switch point. In the example illustrated in FIG. 9, the BWPs include BWP 902 with a bandwidth of 40 MHz and a subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz, BWP 904 with a bandwidth of 10 MHz and a subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz, and BWP 906 with a bandwidth of 20 MHz and a subcarrier spacing of 60 kHz. BWP 902 may be the initial active BWP, and BWP 904 may be the default BWP. The UE may switch between BWPs at a switch point. In the example of FIG. 9, the UE may switch from BWP 902 to BWP 904 at switch point 908. The switch at switch point 908 may occur for any suitable reason, for example, in response to expiration of a BWP inactivity timer (indicating a switch to the default BWP) and / or in response to receiving a DCI indicating BWP 904 as the active BWP. The UE may switch from the active BWP 904 to BWP 906 at switching point 910 in response to receiving a DCI indicating BWP 906 as the active BWP. The UE may switch from the active BWP 906 to BWP 904 at switching point 912 in response to expiration of a BWP inactivity timer and / or in response to receiving a DCI indicating BWP 904 as the active BWP. The UE may switch from the active BWP 904 to BWP 902 at switching point 914 in response to receiving a DCI indicating BWP 902 as the active BWP.

[0080] If the UE is configured for a secondary cell with a default downlink BWP in the set of configured downlink BWPs and timer values, the UE procedure for switching the BWP on the secondary cell may be the same / similar to that on the primary cell, e.g., the UE may use timer values ​​and default downlink BWPs for the secondary cell in the same / similar manner that the UE uses these values ​​for the primary cell.

[0081] To provide a larger data rate, carrier aggregation (CA) may be used to aggregate two or more carriers and transmit simultaneously to and from the same UE. The aggregated carriers of CA may be referred to as component carriers (CCs). When CA is used, there are many serving cells for the UE and one for the CC. The CC may have three configurations in the frequency domain.

[0082] 10A shows three CA configurations with two CCs. In the intra-band, contiguous configuration 1002, the two CCs are aggregated in the same frequency band (frequency band A) and are located immediately adjacent to each other in the frequency band. In the intra-band, non-contiguous configuration 1004, the two CCs are aggregated in the same frequency band (frequency band A) and are separated by a gap in the frequency band. In the inter-band configuration 1006, the two CCs are located in frequency bands (frequency band A and frequency band B).

[0083] In one embodiment, up to 32 CCs may be aggregated. The aggregated CCs may have the same or different bandwidths, subcarrier spacing, and / or duplexing schemes (TDD or FDD). A serving cell of a UE using CA may have a downlink CC. In the case of FDD, one or more uplink CCs may optionally be configured for the serving cell. Being able to aggregate more downlink carriers than uplink carriers may be useful, for example, when a UE has more data traffic in the downlink than in the uplink.

[0084] When CA is used, one of the aggregation cells of the UE may be referred to as a Primary Cell (PCell). The PCell may be a serving cell to which the UE initially connects in RRC connection establishment, re-establishment, and / or handover. The PCell may provide the UE with NAS mobility information and security inputs. The UE may have different PCells. In the downlink, the carrier corresponding to the PCell may be referred to as a Downlink Primary CC (DL PCC). In the uplink, the carrier corresponding to the PCell may be referred to as an Uplink Primary CC (UL PCC). The other aggregation cell for the UE may be referred to as a Secondary Cell (SCell). In one embodiment, the SCell may be configured after the PCell is configured for the UE. For example, the SCell may be configured via an RRC connection reconfiguration procedure. In the downlink, the carrier corresponding to the SCell may be referred to as a Downlink Secondary CC (DL SCC). In the uplink, the carrier corresponding to the SCell may be referred to as an Uplink Secondary CC (UL SCC).

[0085] A configured SCell for a UE may be activated and deactivated based on, for example, traffic and channel conditions. Deactivation of a SCell may mean that PDCCH and PDSCH reception on the SCell is stopped and PUSCH, SRS, and CQI transmission on the SCell is stopped. A configured SCell may be activated and deactivated using a MAC CE with respect to FIG. 4B. For example, the MAC CE may use a bitmap (e.g., one bit per SCell) to indicate to the UE which SCell (e.g., among a subset of configured SCells) is activated or deactivated. A configured SCell may be deactivated in response to expiration of a SCell deactivation timer (e.g., one SCell deactivation timer per SCell).

[0086] Downlink control information such as scheduling assignments and scheduling grants for a cell may be transmitted on the cell corresponding to the assignments and grants, known as self-scheduling. DCI for a cell may be transmitted on another cell, known as cross-carrier scheduling. Uplink control information for aggregation cells (e.g., HARQ acknowledgements and channel state feedback such as CQI, PMI, and / or RI) may be transmitted on the PUCCH of the PCell. A large number of aggregated downlink CCs may overload the PUCCH of the PCell. A cell may be divided into multiple PUCCH groups.

[0087] FIG. 10B illustrates an example of how aggregation cells may be configured into one or more PUCCH groups. PUCCH group 1010 and PUCCH group 1050 may each include one or more downlink CCs. In the example of FIG. 10B, PUCCH group 1010 includes three downlink CCs: PCell 1011, SCell 1012, and SCell 1013. PUCCH group 1050 includes three downlink CCs: PCell 1051, SCell 1052, and SCell 1053 in this example. One or more uplink CCs may be configured as PCell 1021, SCell 1022, and SCell 1023. One or more other uplink CCs may be configured as Primary SCell (PSCell) 1061, SCell 1062, and SCell 1063. Uplink control information (UCI) associated with downlink CCs of PUCCH group 1010, denoted as UCI 1031, UCI 1032, and UCI 1033, may be transmitted on the uplink of PCell 1021. Uplink control information (UCI) associated with downlink CCs of PUCCH group 1050, denoted as UCI 1071, UCI 1072, and UCI 1073, may be transmitted on the uplink of PSCell 1061. In one embodiment, if the aggregation cells depicted in FIG. 10B are not divided into PUCCH group 1010 and PUCCH group 1050, a single uplink PCell and PCell for transmitting UCI associated with downlink CCs may be overloaded. By dividing the transmission of UCI between PCell 1021 and PSCell 1061, the overload may be prevented.

[0088] A cell including a downlink carrier and, optionally, an uplink carrier may be assigned a physical cell ID and a cell index. The physical cell ID or cell index may identify the downlink carrier and / or the uplink carrier of the cell, for example, depending on the context in which the physical cell ID is used. The physical cell ID may be determined using a synchronization signal transmitted on a downlink component carrier. The cell index may be determined using an RRC message. In this disclosure, the physical cell ID may be referred to as a carrier ID, and the cell index may be referred to as a carrier index. For example, when this disclosure refers to a first physical cell ID for a first downlink carrier, this disclosure may mean that the first physical cell ID is for a cell including the first downlink carrier. The same concept may be applied, for example, to carrier activation. When this disclosure indicates that the first carrier is activated, this specification may mean that the cell including the first carrier is activated.

[0089] In CA, the multi-carrier nature of the PHY may be exposed to the MAC. In one embodiment, a HARQ entity may operate on the serving cell. Transport blocks may be generated per assignment / grant per serving cell. Transport blocks and potential HARQ retransmissions of transport blocks may be mapped to the serving cell.

[0090] In the downlink, a base station may transmit (e.g., unicast, multicast, and / or broadcast) one or more reference signals (RS) (e.g., PSS, SSS, CSI-RS, DMRS, and / or PT-RS as shown in FIG. 5A) to the UE. In the uplink, the UE may transmit one or more RS to the base station (e.g., DMRS, PT-RS, and / or SRS as shown in FIG. 5B). The PSS and SSS may be transmitted by the base station and used by the UE to synchronize the UE to the base station. The PSS and SSS may be provided within a synchronization signal (SS) / physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block that includes the PSS, SSS, and PBCH. The base station may transmit bursts of the SS / PBCH block periodically.

[0091] FIG. 11A illustrates an example of the structure and location of SS / PBCH blocks. A burst of SS / PBCH blocks may include one or more SS / PBCH blocks (e.g., four SS / PBCH blocks as shown in FIG. 11A). A burst may be transmitted periodically (e.g., every two frames or every 20 ms). A burst may be limited to a half frame (e.g., the first half frame having a duration of 5 ms). It will be appreciated that FIG. 11A is an example, and these parameters (number of SS / PBCH blocks per burst, periodicity of the burst, location of the burst within a frame) may be configured based on, for example, the carrier frequency of the cell in which the SS / PBCH block is transmitted, the numerology or subcarrier spacing of the cell, configuration by the network (e.g., using RRC signaling), or any other suitable factor. In one example, the UE may assume a subcarrier spacing for the SS / PBCH block based on the monitored carrier frequency, unless the wireless network configures the UE to assume a different subcarrier spacing.

[0092] An SS / PBCH block may span one or more OFDM symbols in the time domain (e.g., four OFDM symbols as shown in the example of FIG. 11A) and one or more subcarriers in the frequency domain (e.g., 240 consecutive subcarriers). The PSS, SSS, and PBCH may have a common center frequency. The PSS may be transmitted first and may span, for example, one OFDM symbol and 127 subcarriers. The SSS may be transmitted after the PSS (e.g., the last two symbols) and may span one OFDM symbol and 127 subcarriers. The PBCH may be transmitted after the PSS (e.g., over the next three OFDM symbols) and may span 240 subcarriers.

[0093] The location of the SS / PBCH block in the time and frequency domain may be unknown to the UE (e.g., when the UE is searching for a cell). To find and select a cell, the UE may monitor the carrier for a PSS. For example, the UE may monitor a frequency location within the carrier. If the PSS is not found after a certain duration (e.g., 20 ms), the UE may search for a PSS at a different frequency location within the carrier as indicated by the synchronization raster. If the PSS is found at a location in the time and frequency domain, the UE may determine the location of the SSS and PBCH, respectively, based on the known structure of the SS / PBCH block. The SS / PBCH block may be a cell-defined SS block (CD-SSB). In one embodiment, the primary cell may be associated with the CD-SSB. The CD-SSB may be located on the synchronization raster. In one embodiment, the cell selection / search and / or reselection may be based on the CD-SSB.

[0094] The SS / PBCH block may be used by the UE to determine one or more parameters of the cell. For example, the UE may determine a physical cell identifier (PCI) of the cell based on the PSS and SSS sequences, respectively. The UE may determine a location of a frame boundary of the cell based on the location of the SS / PBCH block. For example, the SS / PBCH block may indicate that it was transmitted according to a transmission pattern, where the SS / PBCH block in the transmission pattern is a known distance from a frame boundary.

[0095] The PBCH may use QPSK modulation and may use forward error correction (FEC). The FEC may use polar coding. One or more symbols spanned by the PBCH may carry one or more DMRSs for demodulation of the PBCH. The PBCH may include an indication of the cell's current system frame number (SFN) and / or SS / PBCH block timing index. These parameters may facilitate time synchronization of the UE to the base station. The PBCH may include a Master Information Block (MIB) used to provide the UE with one or more parameters. The MIB is used by the UE to identify the remaining Minimum System Information (RMSI) associated with the cell. The RMSI may include a System Information Block Type 1 (SIB1). The SIB1 may include information necessary for the UE to access the cell. The UE may use one or more parameters of the MIB to monitor the PDCCH, which may be used to schedule the PDSCH. The PDSCH may include SIB1. The SIB1 may be decoded using the parameters provided in the MIB. The PBCH may indicate the absence of SIB1. A frequency may be indicated to the UE based on the PBCH indicating that SIB1 is not present, and the UE may search for an SS / PBCH block on the frequency indicated to the UE.

[0096] The UE may assume that one or more SS / PBCH blocks transmitted with the same SS / PBCH block index are quasi-co-located (QCL'd) (e.g., have the same / similar Doppler spread, Doppler shift, average gain, average delay, and / or spatial Rx parameters). The UE may not assume that the QCL's for SS / PBCH block transmissions have different SS / PBCH block indices.

[0097] SS / PBCH blocks (e.g., blocks within a half frame) may be transmitted in spatial directions (e.g., using different beams across the coverage area of ​​a cell). In one example, a first SS / PBCH block may be transmitted in a first spatial direction using a first beam and a second SS / PBCH block may be transmitted in a second spatial direction using a second beam.

[0098] In one embodiment, within the frequency span of a carrier, a base station may transmit multiple SS / PBCH blocks. In one embodiment, a first PCI of a first SS / PBCH block of the multiple SS / PBCH blocks may be different from a second PCI of a second SS / PBCH block of the multiple SS / PBCH blocks. The PCIs of SS / PBCH blocks transmitted at different frequency locations may be different or the same.

[0099] The CSI-RS may be transmitted by a base station and used by a UE to obtain channel state information (CSI). The base station may configure a UE with one or more CSI-RS for channel estimation or any other suitable purpose. The base station may configure a UE with one or more of the same / similar CSI-RS. The UE may measure one or more CSI-RS. The UE may estimate downlink channel conditions and / or generate a CSI report based on measurements of one or more downlink CSI-RS. The UE may provide the CSI report to the base station. The base station may perform link adaptation using feedback provided by the UE (e.g., estimated downlink channel conditions).

[0100] A base station may semi-statically configure a UE with one or more CSI-RS resource sets. The CSI-RS resources may be associated with a location and periodicity in the time and frequency domain. The base station may selectively activate and / or deactivate CSI-RS resources. The base station may indicate to the UE that CSI-RS resources in a CSI-RS resource set are activated and / or deactivated.

[0101] The base station may configure the UE to report CSI measurements. The base station may configure the UE to provide CSI reports periodically, aperiodically, or semi-persistently. For periodic CSI reporting, the UE may be configured with the timing and / or periodicity of the CSI reports. For aperiodic CSI reporting, the base station may request the CSI reports. For example, the base station may instruct the UE to measure configured CSI-RS resources and provide a CSI report on the measurements. For semi-persistent CSI reporting, the base station may configure the UE to transmit periodic reports periodically and selectively activate or deactivate them. The base station may configure the UE with the CSI-RS resource set and CSI reports using RRC signaling.

[0102] The CSI-RS configuration may include, for example, one or more parameters indicating up to 32 antenna ports. The UE may be configured to use the same OFDM symbol for the downlink CSI-RS and a control resource set (CORESET) if the downlink CSI-RS and CORESET are spatially QCL'd and resource elements associated with the downlink CSI-RS are outside of a physical resource block (PRB) configured for CORESET. The UE may be configured to use the same OFDM symbol for the downlink CSI-RS and SS / PBCH block if the downlink CSI-RS and SS / PBCH block are spatially QCL'd and resource elements associated with the downlink CSI-RS are outside of a PRB configured for the SS / PBCH block.

[0103] The downlink DMRS may be transmitted by a base station and may be used by a UE for channel estimation. For example, the downlink DMRS may be used for coherent demodulation of one or more downlink physical channels (e.g., PDSCH). An NR network may support one or more variable and / or configurable DMRS patterns for data demodulation. At least one downlink DMRS configuration may support a frontloaded DMRS pattern. The frontloaded DMRS may be mapped to one or more OFDM symbols (e.g., one or two adjacent OFDM symbols). The base station may semi-statically configure the UE with the number (e.g., maximum number) of frontloaded DMRS symbols of the PDSCH. The DMRS configuration may support one or more DMRS ports. For example, in the case of single-user MIMO, the DMRS configuration may support up to eight orthogonal downlink DMRS ports per UE. In the case of multi-user MIMO, the DMRS configuration may support up to four orthogonal downlink DMRS ports per UE. The wireless network may support a common DMRS structure for downlink and uplink (e.g., at least for CP-OFDM). The DMRS position, DMRS pattern, and / or scrambling sequence may be the same or different. The base station may transmit the downlink DMRS and corresponding PDSCH using the same precoding matrix. The UE may use one or more downlink DMRS for coherent demodulation / channel estimation of the PDSCH.

[0104] In one embodiment, a transmitter (e.g., a base station) may use a precoder matrix for a portion of a transmission bandwidth. For example, the transmitter may use a first precoder matrix for a first bandwidth and a second precoder matrix for a second bandwidth. The first precoder matrix and the second precoder matrix may be different based on the first bandwidth being different from the second bandwidth. The UE may assume that the same precoding matrix is ​​used across a set of PRBs. The set of PRBs may be denoted as a precoding resource block group (PRG).

[0105] The PDSCH may include one or more layers. The UE may assume that at least one symbol with a DMRS is present on one or more layers of the PDSCH. Higher layers may configure up to three DMRS for the PDSCH.

[0106] The downlink PT-RS may be transmitted by the base station and may be used by the UE for phase noise compensation. Whether the downlink PT-RS is present depends on the RRC configuration. The presence and / or pattern of the downlink PT-RS may be configured on a UE-specific basis using a combination of RRC signaling and / or an association with one or more parameters used for other purposes (e.g., modulation and coding scheme (MCS)) that may be indicated by DCI. When configured, the dynamic presence of the downlink PT-RS may be associated with one or more DCI parameters including at least the MCS. The NR network may support multiple PT-RS densities defined in the time and / or frequency domain. The frequency domain density, if present, may be associated with at least one configuration of the scheduled bandwidth. The UE may assume the same precoding for the DMRS and PT-RS ports. The number of PT-RS ports may be less than the number of DMRS ports in the scheduled resources. The downlink PT-RS may be restricted to the scheduled time / frequency period of the UE. The downlink PT-RS may be transmitted on symbols to facilitate phase tracking at the receiver.

[0107] The UE may transmit an uplink DMRS to a base station for channel estimation. For example, the base station may use the uplink DMRS for coherent demodulation of one or more uplink physical channels. For example, the UE may transmit the uplink DMRS on a PUSCH and / or a PUCCH. The uplink DM-RS may span a range of frequencies similar to the range of frequencies associated with the corresponding physical channel. The base station may configure the UE with one or more uplink DMRS configurations. At least one DMRS configuration may support a frontloaded DMRS pattern. The frontloaded DMRS may be mapped to one or more OFDM symbols (e.g., one or two adjacent OFDM symbols). One or more uplink DMRS may be configured to transmit on one or more symbols of the PUSCH and / or the PUCCH. The base station may semi-statically configure the UE with a number (e.g., a maximum number) of frontloaded DMRS symbols for the PUSCH and / or the PUCCH that the UE may use to schedule single-symbol DMRS and / or dual-symbol DMRS. An NR network may support a common DMRS structure for the downlink and uplink (e.g., for cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CP-OFDM)), where the DMRS position, DMRS pattern, and / or scrambling sequence of the DMRS may be the same or different.

[0108] The PUSCH may include one or more layers, and the UE may transmit at least one symbol having a DMRS present on one or more layers of the PUSCH. In one embodiment, higher layers may configure up to three DMRSs for the PUSCH.

[0109] An uplink PT-RS (which may be used by the base station for phase tracking and / or phase noise compensation) may be present or absent depending on the RRC configuration of the UE. The presence and / or pattern of the uplink PT-RS may be configured on a UE-specific basis by a combination of one or more parameters used for other purposes (e.g., modulation and coding scheme (MCS)) that may be indicated by RRC signaling and / or DCI. When configured, the dynamic presence of the uplink PT-RS may be associated with one or more DCI parameters including at least the MCS. The wireless network may support multiple uplink PT-RS densities defined in the time / frequency domain. The frequency domain density, if present, may be associated with at least one configuration of the scheduled bandwidth. The UE may assume the same precoding for the DMRS and PT-RS ports. The number of PT-RS ports may be less than the number of DMRS ports in the scheduled resources. For example, the uplink PT-RS may be restricted to the scheduled time / frequency period of the UE.

[0110] The SRS may be transmitted by the UE to the base station for channel condition estimation to support uplink channel-dependent scheduling and / or link adaptation. The SRS transmitted by the UE may enable the base station to estimate uplink channel conditions at one or more frequencies. The base station scheduler may use the estimated uplink channel conditions to allocate one or more resource blocks for uplink PUSCH transmission from the UE. The base station may semi-statically configure the UE with one or more SRS resource sets. In the case of an SRS resource set, the base station may configure the UE with one or more SRS resources. The SRS resource set applicability may be configured by higher layer (e.g., RRC) parameters. For example, when higher layer parameters indicate beam management, SRS resources in the SRS resource set of one or more SRS resource sets (e.g., having the same / similar time domain behavior, periodicity, aperiodicity, and / or the like) may be transmitted instantaneously (e.g., simultaneously). The UE may transmit one or more SRS resources in the SRS resource set. An NR network may support aperiodic, periodic, and / or semi-persistent SRS transmission. The UE may transmit SRS resources based on one or more trigger types, which may include higher layer signaling (e.g., RRC) and / or one or more DCI formats. In one embodiment, at least one DCI format may be used by the UE to select at least one of the one or more configured SRS resource sets. SRS trigger type 0 may refer to SRS triggered based on higher layer signaling. SRS trigger type 1 may refer to SRS triggered based on one or more DCI formats. In one embodiment, the UE may be configured to transmit the SRS after the transmission of the PUSCH and the corresponding uplink DMRS when the PUSCH and SRS are transmitted in the same slot.

[0111] The base station may quasi-statistically configure the UE with one or more SRS configuration parameters indicating at least one of an SRS resource configuration identifier, a number of SRS ports, a time domain behavior of the SRS resource configuration (e.g., an indication of periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic SRS), slot, minislot, and / or subframe level periodicity, an offset for periodic and / or aperiodic SRS resources, a number of OFDM symbols in the SRS resource, a starting OFDM symbol of the SRS resource, an SRS bandwidth, a frequency hopping bandwidth, a periodic shift, and / or an SRS sequence ID.

[0112] The antenna ports are defined such that a channel on which a symbol on an antenna port is carried can be inferred from a channel on which another symbol on the same antenna port is carried. When a first symbol and a second symbol are transmitted on the same antenna port, a receiver can infer a channel (e.g., fade gain, multipath delay, and / or the like) on which a second symbol on an antenna port is carried from a channel on which a first symbol on the antenna port is carried. A first antenna port and a second antenna port may be referred to as quasi-co-located (QCLed) if one or more large-scale characteristics of a channel on which a first symbol on the first antenna port is carried can be inferred from a channel on which a second symbol on the second antenna port is carried. The one or more large-scale characteristics may include at least one of delay spread, Doppler spread, Doppler shift, average gain, average delay, and / or spatial receive (Rx) parameters.

[0113] A channel using beamforming requires beam management. Beam management may include beam measurement, beam selection, and beam index. A beam may be associated with one or more reference signals. For example, a beam may be identified by one or more beamformed reference signals. A UE may perform downlink beam measurement based on a downlink reference signal (e.g., a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS)) and generate a beam measurement report. A UE may perform a downlink beam measurement procedure after an RRC connection is set up with a base station.

[0114] FIG. 11B illustrates an example of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) mapped to the time and frequency domain. The squares illustrated in FIG. 11B may span resource blocks (RBs) within the bandwidth of a cell. The base station may transmit one or more RRC messages including CSI-RS resource configuration parameters indicating one or more CSI-RS. One or more of the following parameters may be set by higher layer signaling (e.g., RRC and / or MAC signaling) for the CSI-RS resource configuration: CSI-RS resource configuration identity, number of CSI-RS ports, CSI-RS configuration (e.g., symbol and resource element (RE) location within a subframe), CSI-RS subframe configuration (e.g., subframe position, offset, and radio frame periodicity), CSI-RS power parameters, CSI-RS sequence parameters, code division multiplexing (CDM) type parameters, frequency density, transmission comb, quasi-collocation (QCL) parameters (e.g., QCL-scramblingidentity, crs-portscount, mbsfn-subframeconfiglist, csi-rs-configZPid, qcl-csi-rs-configNZPid), and / or other radio resource parameters.

[0115] The three beams shown in FIG. 11B may be configured for a UE in a UE-specific configuration. Three beams (Beam #1, Beam #2, and Beam #3) are shown in FIG. 11B, and more or less beams may be configured. Beam #1 may be assigned with CSI-RS 1101, which may be transmitted on one or more subcarriers in the RB of the first symbol. Beam #2 may be assigned with CSI-RS 1102, which may be transmitted on one or more subcarriers in the RB of the second symbol. Beam #3 may be assigned with CSI-RS 1103, which may be transmitted on one or more subcarriers in the RB of the third symbol. By using frequency division multiplexing (FDM), the base station may use other subcarriers in the same RB (e.g., not used to transmit CSI-RS 1101) to transmit another CSI-RS associated with another UE's beam. By using time domain multiplexing (TDM), the beam used for a UE may be configured such that the UE's beam uses symbols from the other UE's beam.

[0116] The CSI-RS (e.g., CSI-RS 1101, 1102, 1103) shown in FIG. 11B may be transmitted by a base station and used by a UE for one or more measurements. For example, the UE may measure the reference signal received power (RSRP) of configured CSI-RS resources. The base station may configure the UE with a reporting configuration, and the UE may report the RSRP measurements to the network (e.g., via one or more base stations) based on the reporting configuration. In one embodiment, the base station may determine one or more transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states including several reference signals based on the reported measurement results. In one embodiment, the base station may indicate one or more TCI states to the UE (e.g., via RRC signaling, MAC CE, and / or DCI). The UE may receive a downlink transmission having a receive (Rx) beam determined based on one or more TCI states. In one embodiment, the UE may or may not have beam correspondence capability. If the UE has beam correspondence capability, the UE may determine a spatial domain filter of a transmit (Tx) beam based on the spatial domain filter of the corresponding Rx beam. If the UE does not have beam correspondence capability, the UE may perform an uplink beam selection procedure to determine a spatial domain filter of the Tx beam. The UE may perform an uplink beam selection procedure based on one or more sounding reference signal (SRS) resources configured for the UE by the base station. The base station may select and indicate an uplink beam for the UE based on measurements of one or more SRS resources transmitted by the UE.

[0117] In a beam management procedure, the UE may evaluate (e.g., measure) channel quality of one or more beam pair links, including a transmit beam transmitted by the base station and a receive beam received by the UE. Based on the evaluation, the UE may transmit a beam measurement report indicating one or more beam pair quality parameters including, for example, one or more beam identities (e.g., beam index, reference signal index, or the like), RSRP, a precoding matrix indicator (PMI), a channel quality indicator (CQI), and / or a rank indicator (RI).

[0118] FIG. 12A illustrates three example downlink beam management procedures, namely P1, P2, and P3. Procedure P1 may enable UE measurements at a transmit (Tx) beam of a transmit reception point (TRP) (or multiple TRPs) to support selection of, for example, one or more base station Tx beams and / or UE Rx beams (shown as ellipses in the top and bottom rows of P1, respectively). Beamforming at a TRP may include a Tx beam sweep for a set of beams (shown as an ellipse rotating in a counterclockwise direction indicated by dashed arrows in the top rows of P1 and P2). Beamforming at a UE may include a Rx beam sweep for a set of beams (shown as an ellipse rotating in a clockwise direction indicated by dashed arrows in the bottom rows of P1 and P3). Procedure P2 may be used to enable UE measurements at a Tx beam of a TRP (shown as an ellipse rotating in a counterclockwise direction indicated by dashed arrows in the top row of P2). The UE and / or base station may perform procedure P2 using a smaller set of beams than used in procedure P1, or using narrower beams than used in procedure P1. This may be referred to as beam refinement. The UE may perform procedure P3 for Rx beam determination by using the same Tx beam at the base station and sweeping the Rx beams at the UE.

[0119] FIG. 12B shows examples of three uplink beam management procedures, namely U1, U2, and U3. Procedure U1 may be used, for example, to enable the base station to perform measurements on the UE's Tx beams to support the selection of one or more UE Tx beams and / or base station Rx beams (shown as ellipses in the top and bottom rows of U1, respectively). Beamforming at the UE may include, for example, a Tx beam sweep from a set of beams (shown as an ellipse rotating in a clockwise direction indicated by the dashed arrow in the bottom rows of U1 and U3). Beamforming at the base station may include, for example, a Rx beam sweep from a set of beams (shown as an ellipse rotating in a counterclockwise direction indicated by the dashed arrow in the top rows of U1 and U2). Procedure U2 may be used to enable the base station to adjust its Rx beam when the UE uses a fixed Tx beam. The UE and / or base station may perform procedure U2 using a smaller set of beams than used in procedure P1, or using a narrower beam than used in procedure P1. This may be referred to as beam refinement. The UE may perform procedure U3 to adjust its Tx beam when the base station uses a fixed Rx beam.

[0120] The UE may initiate a beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure based on the detection of a beam failure. The UE may transmit a BFR request (e.g., a preamble, UCI, SR, MAC CE, and / or the like) based on the initiation of the BFR procedure. The UE may detect a beam failure based on a determination that the quality of the beam pair link of the associated control channel is unsatisfactory (e.g., has an error rate higher than an error rate threshold, a received signal power lower than a received signal power threshold, a timer expires, and / or the like).

[0121] The UE may measure the quality of the beam pair link using one or more reference signals (RSs) including one or more SS / PBCH blocks, one or more CSI-RS resources, and / or one or more demodulation reference signals (DMRSs). The quality of the beam pair link may be based on one or more of a block error rate (BLER), an RSRP value, a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) value, a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) value, and / or a CSI value measured on the RS resource. The base station may indicate that the RS resource is quasi-co-located (QCLed) with one or more DM-RSs of a channel (e.g., a control channel, a shared data channel, and / or the like). The RS resource and one or more DMRSs of the channel may be QCLed when the channel characteristics (e.g., Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread, spatial Rx parameters, fade, and / or the like) from a transmission to the UE over the RS resource are similar or identical to the channel characteristics from a transmission to the UE over the channel.

[0122] The network (e.g., gNB and / or ng-eNB of the network) and / or the UE may initiate a random access procedure. A UE in RRC-IDLE state and / or a UE in RRC-INACTIVE state may initiate a random access procedure to request a connection setup to the network. The UE may initiate a random access procedure from the RRC-CONNECTED state. The UE may initiate a random access procedure to request uplink resources (e.g., for uplink transmission of SR when there are no PUCCH resources available) and / or to acquire uplink timing (e.g., when the uplink synchronization state is not synchronized). The UE may initiate a random access procedure to request one or more system information blocks (SIBs) (e.g., SIB2, SIB3, and / or other system information such as the like). The UE may initiate a random access procedure for a beam failure recovery request. The network may initiate a random access procedure to establish time alignment for handover and / or for SCell addition.

[0123] Figure 13A shows a four-step contention-based random access procedure. Before the start of the procedure, the base station may transmit a configuration message 1310 to the UE. The procedure shown in Figure 13A includes the transmission of four messages: Msg1 1311, Msg2 1312, Msg3 1313, and Msg4 1314. Msg1 1311 may include and / or be referred to as a preamble (or random access preamble). Msg2 1312 may be referred to as and / or be referred to as a random access response (RAR).

[0124] The configuration message 1310 may be transmitted, for example, using one or more RRC messages. The one or more RRC messages may indicate one or more Random Access Channel (RACH) parameters to the UE. The one or more RACH parameters may include at least one of general parameters (e.g., RACH-configGeneral), cell-specific parameters (e.g., RACH-ConfigCommon), and / or dedicated parameters (e.g., RACH-configDedicated) for one or more random access procedures. The base station may broadcast or multicast the one or more RRC messages to the one or more UEs. The one or more RRC messages may be UE-specific (e.g., dedicated RRC messages transmitted to the UE in RRC_CONNECTED and / or RRC_INACTIVE states). The UE may determine time-frequency resources and / or uplink transmit power for transmission of Msg1 1311 and / or Msg3 1313 based on the one or more RACH parameters. Based on the one or more RACH parameters, the UE may determine the receive timing and downlink channel for receiving Msg2 1312 and Msg4 1314.

[0125] The one or more RACH parameters provided in the configuration message 1310 may indicate one or more physical RACH (PRACH) opportunities available for transmission of Msg1 1311. The one or more PRACH opportunities may be predefined. The one or more RACH parameters may indicate one or more available sets of one or more PRACH opportunities (e.g., prach-ConfigIndex). The one or more RACH parameters may indicate an association between (a) one or more PRACH opportunities and (b) one or more reference signals. The one or more RACH parameters may indicate an association between (a) one or more preambles and (b) one or more reference signals. The one or more reference signals may be SS / PBCH blocks and / or CSI-RS. For example, the one or more RACH parameters may indicate a number of SS / PBCH blocks mapped to the PRACH opportunities and / or a number of preambles mapped to the SS / PBCH blocks.

[0126] The one or more RACH parameters provided in the configuration message 1310 may be used to determine the uplink transmission power of Msg1 1311 and / or Msg3 1313. For example, the one or more RACH parameters may indicate a reference power for the preamble transmission (e.g., a received target power and / or an initial power of the preamble transmission). There may be one or more power offsets indicated by the one or more RACH parameters. For example, the one or more RACH parameters may indicate a power ramping step, a power offset between SSB and CSI-RS, a power offset between the transmissions of Msg1 1311 and Msg3 1313, and / or a power offset value between the preamble groups. The one or more RACH parameters may indicate one or more thresholds for which the UE may determine at least one reference signal (e.g., SSB and / or CSI-RS) and / or uplink carrier (e.g., a normal uplink (NUL) carrier and / or a complementary uplink (SUL) carrier).

[0127] Msg1 1311 may include one or more preamble transmissions (e.g., a preamble transmission and one or more preamble retransmissions). The RRC message may be used to configure one or more preamble groups (e.g., Group A and / or Group B). The preamble group may include one or more preambles. The UE may determine the preamble group based on a path loss measurement and / or a size of Msg3 1313. The UE may measure the RSRP of one or more reference signals (e.g., SSB and / or CSI-RS) and determine at least one reference signal having an RSRP above an RSRP threshold (e.g., rsrp-ThresholdSSB and / or rsrp-ThresholdCSI-RS). The UE may select at least one preamble associated with the one or more reference signals and / or the selected preamble group, e.g., if an association between the one or more preambles and the at least one reference signal is configured by the RRC message.

[0128] The UE may determine the preamble based on one or more RACH parameters provided in the configuration message 1310. For example, the UE may determine the preamble based on a path loss measurement, an RSRP measurement, and / or a size of Msg3 1313. As another example, the one or more RACH parameters may indicate one or more thresholds for determining a preamble format, a maximum number of preamble transmissions, and / or one or more preamble groups (e.g., Group A and Group B). The base station may configure the UE with an association between one or more preambles and one or more reference signals (e.g., SSB and / or CSI-RS) using the one or more RACH parameters. If an association is configured, the UE may determine a preamble to include in Msg1 1311 based on the association. Msg1 1311 may be transmitted to the base station via one or more PRACH opportunities. The UE may use one or more reference signals (e.g., SSB and / or CSI-RS) for preamble selection and PRACH opportunity determination. One or more RACH parameters (eg, ra-ssb-OccasionMskIndex and / or ra-OccasionList) may indicate an association between a PRACH opportunity and one or more reference signals.

[0129] The UE may perform a preamble retransmission if no response is received after the preamble transmission. The UE may increase the uplink transmit power for the preamble retransmission. The UE may select an initial preamble transmit power based on a path loss measurement and / or a target received preamble power configured by the network. The UE may determine to retransmit the preamble and may ramp up the uplink transmit power. The UE may receive one or more RACH parameters (e.g., PREAMBLE_POWER_RAMPING_STEP) indicating a ramping step for the preamble retransmission. The ramping step may be the amount of incremental increase in the uplink transmit power for the retransmission. If the UE determines a reference signal (e.g., SSB and / or CSI-RS) that is the same as the previous preamble transmission, the UE may ramp up the uplink transmit power. The UE may count the number of preamble transmissions and / or retransmissions (e.g., PREAMBLE_TRANSMISSION_COUNTER). The UE may determine that it has failed to complete the random access procedure, for example, if the number of preamble transmissions exceeds a threshold configured by one or more RACH parameters (eg, preambleTransMax).

[0130] Msg2 1312 received by the UE may include an RAR. In some scenarios, Msg2 1312 may include multiple RARs corresponding to multiple UEs. Msg2 1312 may be received after or in response to transmission of Msg1 1311. Msg2 1312 may be scheduled on the DL-SCH and indicated on the PDCCH using a Random Access RNTI (RA-RNTI). Msg2 1312 may indicate that Msg1 1311 was received by the base station. Msg2 1312 may include a time alignment command that the UE may use to adjust the UE's transmission timing, a scheduling grant for transmission of Msg3 1313, and / or a Temporary Cell RNTI (TC-RNTI). After the UE transmits the preamble, the UE may start a time window (e.g., ra-ResponseWindow) in which it monitors the PDCCH for Msg2 1312. The UE may determine when to start the time window based on the PRACH opportunity the UE uses to transmit the preamble. For example, the UE may start the time window one or more symbols after the last symbol of the preamble (e.g., on the first PDCCH opportunity from the end of the preamble transmission). The one or more symbols may be determined based on numerology. The PDCCH may be within a common search space (e.g., Type1-PDCCH common search space) configured by the RRC message. The UE may identify the RAR based on a Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI). The RNTI may be used in response to one or more events that initiate the random access procedure. The UE may use a Random Access RNTI (RA-RNTI). The RA-RNTI may be associated with the PRACH opportunity on which the UE transmits the preamble. For example, the UE may determine the RA-RNTI based on an OFDM symbol index, a slot index, a frequency domain index, and / or a UL carrier indicator of the PRACH opportunity. One embodiment of the RA-RNTI may be as follows: RA-RNTI=1+s_id+14×t_id+14×80×f_id+14×80×8×ul_carrier_id s_id may be the index of the first OFDM symbol of the PRACH opportunity (e.g., 0≦s_id<14), t_id may be the index of the first slot of the PRACH opportunity in the system frame (e.g., 0≦t_id<80), f_id may be the index of the PRACH opportunity in the frequency domain (e.g., 0≦f_id<8), and ul_carrier_id may be the UL carrier used for preamble transmission (e.g., 0 for NUL carrier and 1 for SUL carrier). The UE may transmit Msg3 1313 in response to successful reception of Msg2 1312 (e.g., using resources identified in Msg2 1312). Msg3 1313 may be used for contention resolution, for example, in the contention-based random access procedure shown in FIG. 13A. In some scenarios, multiple UEs may transmit the same preamble to the base station, and the base station may provide the UE with a corresponding RAR. If multiple UEs interpret the RAR as corresponding to themselves, a mismatch may occur. Contention resolution (e.g., use of Msg3 1313 and Msg4 1314) may be used to increase the likelihood that a UE does not mistakenly use the identity of another UE. To perform contention resolution, the UE may include a device identifier in Msg3 1313 (e.g., C-RNTI, if assigned, TC-RNTI included in Msg2 1312, and / or any other suitable identifier).

[0131] Msg4 1314 may be received after or in response to transmission of Msg3 1313. If a C-RNTI was included in Msg3 1313, the base station uses the C-RNTI to address the UE on the PDCCH. If the UE's unique C-RNTI is detected on the PDCCH, it is determined that the random access procedure has been completed successfully. If a TC-RNTI is included in Msg3 1313 (e.g., the UE is in RRC_IDLE state or is otherwise not connected to the base station), Msg4 1314 is received using the DL-SCH associated with the TC-RNTI. If the MAC PDU is successfully decoded and matches the CCCH SDU sent (e.g., transmitted) in Msg3 1313 or otherwise includes a corresponding UE contention resolution identity MAC CE, the UE may determine that contention resolution has been successful and / or the UE may determine that the random access procedure has been completed successfully.

[0132] A UE may be configured with a complementary uplink (SUL) carrier and a normal uplink (NUL) carrier. Initial access (e.g., random access procedure) may be supported on the uplink carrier. For example, a base station may configure a UE with two separate RACH configurations, one for a SUL carrier and one for a NUL carrier. For random access in a cell configured with a SUL carrier, the network may indicate which carrier (NUL or SUL) to use. The UE may determine the SUL carrier, for example, if the measured quality of one or more reference signals is lower than a broadcast threshold. Uplink transmissions of the random access procedure (e.g., Msg1 1311 and / or Msg3 1313) may remain on the selected carrier. The UE may switch uplink carriers during the random access procedure (e.g., between Msg1 1311 and Msg3 1313) in one or more cases. For example, the UE may determine and / or switch uplink carriers for Msg1 1311 and / or Msg3 1313 based on a channel clear assessment (eg, listen-before-talk).

[0133] Figure 13B illustrates a two-step contention-free random access procedure. Similar to the four-step contention-based random access procedure illustrated in Figure 13A, the base station may transmit a configuration message 1320 to the UE prior to the start of the procedure. The configuration message 1320 may be similar in some respects to the configuration message 1310. Figure 13B includes the transmission of two messages, namely Msg1 1321 and Msg2 1322. Msg1 1321 and Msg2 1322 may be similar in some respects to Msg1 1311 and Msg2 1312, respectively, illustrated in Figure 13A. As can be seen from Figures 13A and 13B, the contention-free random access procedure may not include messages similar to Msg3 1313 and / or Msg4 1314.

[0134] The contention-free random access procedure shown in Figure 13B may be initiated for beam failure recovery, other SI requests, SCell addition, and / or handover. For example, the base station may indicate or assign to the UE the preamble to be used in Msg1 1321. The UE may receive an indication of the preamble (e.g., ra-PreambleIndex) from the base station via PDCCH and / or RRC.

[0135] After transmitting the preamble, the UE may start a time window (e.g., ra-ResponseWindow) to monitor the PDCCH of the RAR. In case of a beam failure recovery request, the base station may configure the UE with a separate time window and / or separate PDCCH in the search space indicated by the RRC message (e.g., recoverySearchSpaceId). The UE may monitor PDCCH transmissions addressed to the Cell RNTI (C-RNTI) on the search space. In the contention-free random access procedure shown in FIG. 13B, the UE may determine that the random access procedure is successfully completed after or in response to the transmission of Msg1 1321 and the reception of the corresponding Msg2 1322. The UE may determine that the random access procedure is successfully completed, for example, when the PDCCH transmission is addressed to the C-RNTI. The UE may determine that the random access procedure is successfully completed, for example, if the UE receives an RAR including a preamble identifier corresponding to a preamble transmitted by the UE and / or if the RAR includes a MAC sub-PDU including the preamble identifier. The UE may determine the response as an indication of a response acknowledgment to the SI request.

[0136] Figure 13C shows another two-step random access procedure. Similar to the random access procedure shown in Figures 13A and 13B, the base station may transmit a configuration message 1330 to the UE before the procedure begins. The configuration message 1330 may be similar in some respects to the configuration message 1310 and / or the configuration message 1320. Figure 13C includes the transmission of two messages, namely, Msg A 1331 and Msg B 1332.

[0137] Msg A 1331 may be transmitted in an uplink transmission by the UE. Msg A 1331 may include one or more transmissions of a preamble 1341 and / or one or more transmissions of a transport block 1342. The transport block 1342 may include content similar and / or equivalent to the content of Msg3 1313 shown in FIG. 13A. The transport block 1342 may include UCI (e.g., SR, HARQ ACK / NACK, and / or the like). The UE may receive Msg B 1332 after or in response to transmitting Msg A 1331. Msg B 1332 may include content similar and / or equivalent to the content of Msg 2 1312 (e.g., RAR) shown in FIG. 13A and 13B and / or the content of Msg4 1314 shown in FIG. 13A.

[0138] The UE may initiate the two-step random access procedure of Figure 13C for licensed and / or unlicensed spectrum. The UE may determine whether to initiate the two-step random access procedure based on one or more factors. The one or more factors may be the radio access technology in use (e.g., LTE, NR, and / or similar), whether the UE has a valid TA, the cell size, the RRC state of the UE, the type of spectrum (e.g., licensed vs. unlicensed), and / or any other suitable factor.

[0139] The UE may determine radio resources and / or uplink transmit power for the preamble 1341 and / or the transport block 1342 included in Msg A 1331 based on the two-step RACH parameters included in the configuration message 1330. The RACH parameters may indicate a modulation and coding scheme (MCS), time-frequency resources, and / or power control for the preamble 1341 and / or the transport block 1342. The time-frequency resources for transmission of the preamble 1341 (e.g., PRACH) and the time-frequency resources for transmission of the transport block 1342 (e.g., PUSCH) may be multiplexed using FDM, TDM, and / or CDM. The RACH parameters may enable the UE to determine the receive timing and downlink channel for monitoring and / or receiving Msg B 1332.

[0140] The transport block 1342 may include data (e.g., delay sensitive data), a UE identifier, security information, and / or device information (e.g., International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)). The base station may transmit Msg B 1332 in response to Msg A 1331. Msg B 1332 may include at least one of a preamble identifier, a timing advance command, a power control command, an uplink grant (e.g., radio resource allocation and / or MCS), a UE identifier for contention resolution, and / or an RNTI (e.g., C-RNTI or TC-RNTI). The UE may determine that the two-step random access procedure is successfully completed if the preamble identifier in Msg B 1332 matches the preamble transmitted by the UE and / or the UE identifier in Msg B 1332 matches the UE identifier in Msg A 1331 (e.g., transport block 1342).

[0141] The UE and the base station may exchange control signaling, which may be referred to as L1 / L2 control signaling, and may originate from the PHY layer (e.g., Layer 1) and / or the MAC layer (e.g., Layer 2). The control signaling may include downlink control signaling transmitted from the base station to the UE and / or uplink control signaling transmitted from the UE to the base station.

[0142] The downlink control signaling may include downlink scheduling assignments, uplink scheduling grants indicating uplink radio resources and / or transport formats, slot format information, preemption indicators, power control commands, and / or any other suitable signaling. A UE may receive the downlink control signaling in a payload transmitted by a base station on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH). The payload transmitted on the PDCCH may be referred to as Downlink Control Information (DCI). In some scenarios, the PDCCH may be a Group Common PDCCH (GC-PDCCH) that is common to a group of UEs.

[0143] The base station may append one or more cyclic redundancy check (CRC) parity bits to the DCI to facilitate detection of transmission errors. When the DCI is intended for a UE (or a group of UEs), the base station may scramble the CRC parity bits with an identifier of the UE (or an identifier of the group of UEs). Scrambling the CRC parity bits with an identifier may include a modulo-2 addition (or exclusive OR) of the identifier value and the CRC parity bits. The identifier may include a 16-bit value of a Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI).

[0144] DCIs may be used for different purposes. The purpose may be indicated by the type of RNTI used to scramble the CRC parity bits. For example, a DCI with CRC parity bits scrambled with a paging RNTI (P-RNTI) may indicate paging information and / or system information change notification. The P-RNTI may be predefined as "FFFE" in hexadecimal. A DCI with CRC parity bits scrambled with a system information RNTI (SI-RNTI) may indicate a broadcast transmission of system information. The SI-RNTI may be predefined as "FFFF" in hexadecimal. A DCI with CRC parity bits scrambled with a random access RNTI (RA-RNTI) may indicate a random access response (RAR). A DCI with CRC parity bits scrambled with a cell RNTI (C-RNTI) may indicate a unicast transmission of dynamic scheduling and / or a random access of PDCCH order trigger. A DCI with CRC parity bits scrambled with the Temporary Cell RNTI (TC-RNTI) may indicate contention resolution (e.g., Msg3 similar to Msg3 1313 shown in FIG. 13A). Encodings of other RNTIs configured by the base station in the UE include Configured Scheduling RNTI (CS-RNTI), Transmit Power Control-PUCCH RNTI (TPC-PUCCH-RNTI), Transmit Power Control-PUSCH RNTI (TPC-PUSCH-RNTI), Transmit Power Control-SRS RNTI (TPC-SRS-RNTI), Interruption RNTI (INT-RNTI), Slot Format Indication RNTI (SFI-RNTI), Semi-Persistent CSI RNTI (SP-CSI-RNTI), Modulation and Coding Scheme Cell RNTI (MCS-C-RNTI), and / or the like.

[0145] Depending on the purpose and / or content of the DCI, the base station may transmit the DCI in one or more DCI formats. For example, DCI format 0_0 may be used for scheduling the PUSCH in the cell. DCI format 0_0 may be a fallback DCI format (e.g., has a compact DCI payload). DCI format 0_1 ​​may be used for scheduling the PUSCH in the cell (e.g., has a larger DCI payload than DCI format 0_0). DCI format 1_0 may be used for scheduling the PDSCH in the cell. DCI format 1_0 may be a fallback DCI format (e.g., has a compact DCI payload). DCI format 1_1 may be used for scheduling the PDSCH in the cell (e.g., has a larger DCI payload than DCI format 1_0). DCI format 2_0 may be used to provide a slot format indication to a group of UEs. DCI format 2_1 may be used to inform a group of UEs of physical resource blocks and / or OFDM symbols that the UE assumes are not intended for transmission to the UE. DCI format 2_2 may be used for transmission of transmit power control (TPC) commands for PUCCH or PUSCH. DCI format 2_3 may be used for transmission of a group of TPC commands for SRS transmission by one or more UEs. DCI formats for new features may be defined in future releases. DCI formats may have different DCI sizes or share the same DCI size.

[0146] After scrambling the DCI with the RNTI, the base station may process the DCI using channel coding (e.g., polar coding), rate matching, scrambling, and / or QPSK modulation. The base station may map the coded and modulated DCI onto resource elements used and / or configured for the PDCCH. Based on the payload size of the DCI and / or the coverage of the base station, the base station may transmit the DCI via a PDCCH occupying several consecutive control channel elements (CCEs). The number of consecutive CCEs (referred to as an aggregation level) may be 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and / or any other suitable number. A CCE may include a number of resource element groups (REGs) (e.g., 6). A REG may include a resource block in an OFDM symbol. The mapping of the coded and modulated DCI onto resource elements may be based on a mapping of CCEs and REGs (e.g., CCE to REG mapping).

[0147] FIG. 14A illustrates an example of a CORESET configuration for a bandwidth portion. A base station may transmit DCI via a PDCCH on one or more control resource sets (CORESETs). A CORESET may include time-frequency resources on which a UE attempts to decode DCI using one or more search spaces. A base station may configure CORESETs in the time-frequency domain. In the example of FIG. 14A, a first CORESET 1401 and a second CORESET 1402 occur at a first symbol in a slot. The first CORESET 1401 overlaps with the second CORESET 1402 in the frequency domain. A third CORESET 1403 occurs at a third symbol in a slot. A fourth CORESET 1404 occurs at a seventh symbol of the slot. The CORESETs may have different numbers of resource blocks in the frequency domain.

[0148] FIG. 14B illustrates an example of CCE-to-REG mapping for DCI transmission on a CORESET and PDCCH processing. The CCE-to-REG mapping may be interleaved (e.g., to provide frequency diversity) or non-interleaved (e.g., to facilitate interference coordination and / or frequency selective transmission of control channels). A base station may perform different or the same CCE-to-REG mapping on different CORESETs. A CORESET may be associated with a CCE-to-REG mapping by RRC configuration. A CORESET may be configured with an antenna port provisioning co-location (QCL) parameter. The QCL parameter of an antenna port may indicate QCL information of a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for PDCCH reception in the CORESET.

[0149] The base station may transmit an RRC message including configuration parameters of one or more CORESETs and one or more search space sets to the UE. The configuration parameters may indicate an association between the search space set and the CORESET. The search space set may include a set of PDCCH candidates formed by CCEs at a given aggregation level. The configuration parameters may indicate the number of PDCCH candidates monitored per aggregation level, a PDCCH monitoring periodicity and a PDCCH monitoring pattern, one or more DCI formats monitored by the UE, and / or whether the search space set is a common search space set or a UE-specific search space set. The set of CCEs in the common search space set may be predefined and known to the UE. The set of CCEs in the UE-specific search space set may be configured based on the UE's identity (e.g., C-RNTI).

[0150] As shown in FIG. 14B, the UE may determine time-frequency resources of the CORESET based on the RRC message. The UE may determine CCE-REG mapping (e.g., interleaved or non-interleaved, and / or mapping parameters) for the CORESET based on configuration parameters of the CORESET. The UE may determine the number of search space sets (e.g., up to 10) configured on the CORESET based on the RRC message. The UE may monitor a set of PDCCH candidates according to configuration parameters of the search space sets. The UE may monitor a set of PDCCH candidates in one or more CORESETs to detect one or more DCIs. The monitoring may include decoding one or more PDCCH candidates of the set of PDCCH candidates according to a monitored DCI format. The monitoring may include decoding DCI content of one or more PDCCH candidates having possible (or configured) PDCCH positions, possible (or configured) PDCCH formats (e.g., number of CCEs in a common search space, number of PDCCH candidates, and / or number of PDCCH candidates in a UE-specific search space), and possible (or configured) DCI formats. The decoding may be referred to as blind decoding. The UE may determine a valid DCI for the UE in response to a CRC check (e.g., scrambling bits to CRC parity bits of a DCI that matches the RNTI value). The UE may process information included in the DCI (e.g., scheduling assignments, uplink grants, power control, slot format indicator, downlink preemption, and / or the like).

[0151] The UE may transmit uplink control signaling (e.g., uplink control information (UCI)) to the base station. The uplink control signaling may include a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement for a received DL-SCH transport block. The UE may transmit the HARQ acknowledgement after receiving the DL-SCH transport block. The uplink control signaling may include channel state information (CSI) indicating a channel quality of a physical downlink channel. The UE may transmit the CSI to the base station. The base station may determine transmission format parameters (e.g., including multiple antennas and beamforming schemes) for downlink transmission based on the received CSI. The uplink control signaling may include a scheduling request (SR). The UE may transmit the SR indicating that uplink data is available for transmission to the base station. The UE may transmit the UCI (e.g., HARQ acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK), CSI report, SR, etc.) via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). A UE may transmit uplink control signaling via the PUCCH using one of several PUCCH formats.

[0152] There may be five PUCCH formats, and the UE may determine the PUCCH format based on the size of the UCI (e.g., the number of uplink symbols of UCI transmission and the number of UCI bits). PUCCH format 0 may have a length of one or two OFDM symbols and may contain two or less bits. The UE may transmit UCI in the PUCCH resource using PUCCH format 0 if the transmission is more than one or two symbols and the number of HARQ-ACK information bits with positive or negative SR (HARQ-ACK / SR bits) is one or two. PUCCH format 1 may occupy a number between 4 and 14 OFDM symbols and may contain two or less bits. The UE may use PUCCH format 1 if the transmission is four or more symbols and the number of HARQ-ACK / SR bits is one or two. PUCCH format 2 may occupy one or two OFDM symbols and may contain more than two bits. The UE may use PUCCH format 2 if the transmission is more than one or two symbols and the number of UCI bits is two or more. PUCCH format 3 may occupy a number between 4 and 14 OFDM symbols and may include more than two bits. The UE may use PUCCH format 3 if the transmission is four or more symbols, the number of UCI bits is two or more, and the PUCCH resource does not include an orthogonal cover code. PUCCH format 4 may occupy a number between 4 and 14 OFDM symbols and may include more than two bits. The UE may use PUCCH format 4 if the transmission is four or more symbols, the number of UCI bits is two or more, and the PUCCH resource includes an orthogonal cover code.

[0153] The base station may transmit configuration parameters of the multiple PUCCH resource sets to the UE, for example, using an RRC message. Multiple PUCCH resource sets (e.g., up to four sets) may be configured on the uplink BWP of the cell. The PUCCH resource set may be configured with a PUCCH resource set index, multiple PUCCH resources with PUCCH resources identified by a PUCCH resource identifier (e.g., pucch-Resourceid), and / or a number (e.g., a maximum number) of UCI information bits that the UE may transmit using one of the multiple PUCCH resources in the PUCCH resource set. When configured with multiple PUCCH resource sets, the UE may select one of the multiple PUCCH resource sets based on a total bit length of the UCI information bits (e.g., HARQ-ACK, SR, and / or CSI). If the total bit length of the UCI information bits is less than or equal to two, the UE may select a first PUCCH resource set with a PUCCH resource set index equal to "0". If the total bit length of the UCI information bits is greater than 2 and less than or equal to the first configuration value, the UE may select a second PUCCH resource set having a PUCCH resource set index equal to "1". If the total bit length of the UCI information bits is greater than the first configuration value and less than or equal to the second configuration value, the UE may select a third PUCCH resource set having a PUCCH resource set index equal to "2". If the total bit length of the UCI information bits is greater than the second configuration value and less than or equal to a third value (e.g., 1406), the UE may select a fourth PUCCH resource set having a PUCCH resource set index equal to "3".

[0154] After determining a PUCCH resource set from the multiple PUCCH resource sets, the UE may determine a PUCCH resource from the PUCCH resource set for UCI (HARQ-ACK, CSI, and / or SR) transmission. The UE may determine the PUCCH resource based on a PUCCH resource indicator in a DCI (e.g., DCI format 1_0 or DCI format 1_1) received on the PDCCH. The 3-bit PUCCH resource indicator of the DCI may indicate one of the eight PUCCH resources in the PUCCH resource set. Based on the PUCCH resource indicator, the UE may transmit the UCI (HARQ-ACK, CSI, and / or SR) using the PUCCH resource indicated by the PUCCH resource indicator in the DCI.

In one example, when transform precoding is enabled, an SC-FDMA signal for uplink transmission may be generated. In one example, when transform precoding is not enabled, a CP-OFDM signal for uplink transmission may be generated according to FIG. 16A. These functions are illustrated as examples, and it is anticipated that other mechanisms may be implemented in various embodiments.

[0165] 16B shows an example structure for modulation and upconversion of a baseband signal to a carrier frequency.

[0167] 16D shows another exemplary structure for modulation and upconversion of a baseband signal to a carrier frequency. The baseband signal may be a complex-valued OFDM baseband signal for an antenna port. Filtering may be used before transmission.

[0168] The wireless device may receive one or more messages (e.g., RRC messages) from a base station including configuration parameters for multiple cells (e.g., primary cell, secondary cell). The wireless device may communicate with at least one base station (e.g., two or more base stations for dual connectivity) via the multiple cells. The one or more messages (e.g., as part of the configuration parameters) may include physical, MAC, RLC, PCDP, SDAP, RRC layer parameters for configuring the wireless device. For example, the configuration parameters may include parameters for configuring physical and MAC layer channels, bearers, etc. For example, the configuration parameters may include parameters indicating values ​​of timers for the physical layer, MAC layer, RLC layer, PCDP layer, SDAP layer, RRC layer, and / or communication channels.

[0169] A timer may begin running when started and continue to run until it is stopped or expires. A timer may be started if it is not running or restarted if it is running. A timer may be associated with a value (e.g., a timer may be started or restarted from a value, or may be started from 0 and expire when the value is reached). A timer's duration may not be updated until the timer is stopped or expires (e.g., due to a BWP switch). A timer may be used to measure a time period / window of a process. When this specification refers to implementations and procedures related to one or more timers, it will be understood that there are multiple ways to implement one or more timers. For example, it will be understood that one or more of multiple ways to implement a timer may be used to measure the period / window of a procedure. For example, a random access response window timer may be used to measure a window time for receiving a random access response. In one embodiment, the time difference between two time stamps may be used instead of the start and expiration of the random access response window timer. When the timer is restarted, the process for measuring the time window may be restarted. Other example implementations may be provided for restarting the measurement of the time window.

[0170] The wireless device may receive, for example, from a base station, one or more messages including one or more configuration parameters. The wireless device may receive downlink control information (DCI) that schedules a transport block (e.g., PUSCH). The DCI may not include an SRI field. The wireless device may determine default open-loop power control parameters (e.g., target received power P_0-PUSCH, path loss compensation factor alpha, closed-loop process number 1) based, for example, on the DCI not including an SRI field. The default open-loop power control parameters may not include a (default) path loss reference signal.

[0171] The wireless device may determine a transmit power based on default open loop power control parameters. The wireless device may transmit a transport block with / using the transmit power.

[0172] In one embodiment, a wireless device may be served by (e.g., transmit to / receive from) multiple TRPs, including a first TRP and a second TRP. The wireless device may receive DCI that schedules repetition of a transport block (e.g., PUSCH) among the first TRP and the second TRP. The wireless device may transmit a transport block toward / for the first TRP in one or more first transmission opportunities, and may transmit a transport block toward / for the second TRP in one or more second transmission opportunities. This may increase the reliability of transmission of the transport block. For example, the second TRP may receive the transport block when the first TRP experiences interference (e.g., due to trees, buildings, etc.).

[0173] In one embodiment, the DCI that schedules the repetition of the transport block may not include an SRI field. The DCI that does not include an SRI field may include, for example, a DCI that does not include a first SRI field and a second SRI field. The DCI that does not include an SRI field may include, for example, a DCI that includes a first SRI field and does not include a second SRI field. In an implementation of the existing technology, the wireless device may determine a default open-loop power control parameter based on the DCI not including an SRI field. The wireless device may transmit the repetition of the transport block with / using a transmission power determined based on the default open-loop power control parameter. It may not be efficient to use the (same) transmission power for the repetition of the transport block or to determine the transmission power based on the (same) default open-loop power control parameter. For example, the repetition of the transport block may be toward a first TRP and a second TRP, and the first TRP and the second TRP may not be co-located. The positions / directions of the first TRP and the second TRP may be different. The first TRP and the second TRP may be subject to different channel conditions (e.g., channel fade, distance, interference, etc.). Using the (same) transmit power and / or determining the transmit power based on the (same) default open loop power control parameters may result in an inaccurate transmit power (e.g., lower or higher than required transmit power) for repetitions of a transport block. A wireless device may transmit a transport block towards at least one of the first TRP and the second TRP with / using an inaccurate transmit power, which may increase interference to other cells and / or wireless devices.

[0174] Exemplary embodiments enhance / improve the determination of open loop power control parameters when a wireless device transmits transport block repetitions to / for multiple TRPs. In an exemplary embodiment, when a DCI that schedules a transport block repetition does not include an SRI field (e.g., both the first SRI field and the second SRI field), the wireless device may determine two default open loop power control parameters.

[0175] The wireless device may determine two transmission powers based on the two default open loop power control parameters. The wireless device may transmit a transport block in one or more first transmission opportunities (toward / to a first TRP) with / using a first transmission power of the two transmission powers. The wireless device may determine the first transmission power based on a first default open loop power control parameter of the two default open loop power control parameters. The wireless device may transmit a transport block in one or more second transmission opportunities (toward / to a second TRP) with / using a second transmission power of the two transmission powers. The wireless device may determine the second transmission power based on a second default open loop power control parameter of the two default open loop power control parameters.

[0176] In an example embodiment, the DCI scheduling the repetition of the transport block may include a first SRI field and may not include a second SRI field. In this case, the wireless device may determine a second default open-loop power control parameter for the repetition of the transport block. The wireless device may transmit the transport block in one or more first transmission opportunities toward / to the first TRP with / using a first transmission power determined based on the open-loop power control parameter indicated by the first SRI field. The wireless device may transmit the transport block in one or more second transmission opportunities toward / to the second TRP with / using a second transmission power determined based on the second default open-loop power control parameter.

[0177] Using two (different) transmit powers based on two (different) default open-loop power control parameters for repetition of a transport block for different TRPs or determining the transmit power based on two (different) open-loop power control parameters may result in accurate transmit power determination. The wireless device may transmit the transport block for each TRP with / using the accurate transmit power. This may result in reduced uplink interference to other cells and / or wireless devices. This may result in reliable reception of the transport block and reduced error rate.

[0222] In one embodiment, the repetition number may be for repetition of the transport block over uplink resources (or uplink channels) (e.g., PUCCH resources, SRS resources, PUSCH resources). In one embodiment, the one or more configuration parameters may indicate multiple uplink signal / channel transmission / repetition opportunities (e.g., PUSCH transmission opportunities, PUCCH transmission opportunities) for transmission / repetition of the transport block. In one embodiment, the DCI may indicate multiple uplink signal / channel transmission / repetition opportunities (e.g., PUSCH transmission opportunities, PUCCH transmission opportunities) for transmission / repetition of the transport block. In one embodiment, the DCI may indicate a first / starting / earliest uplink signal / channel transmission / repetition opportunity. Based on the first / starting / earliest uplink signal / channel transmission / repetition opportunity, the wireless device may determine multiple uplink signal / channel transmission / repetition opportunities, including the first / starting / earliest uplink signal / channel transmission / repetition opportunity, for transmission / repetition of the transport block. The wireless device may determine the first / starting / earliest uplink signal / channel transmission / repetition opportunity, for example, based on one or more fields in the DCI (e.g., TDRA, FDRA, etc.). The number of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may be equal to the number of repetitions, for example.

[0223] In one embodiment, the wireless device may transmit a transport block over / on / at multiple uplink signal / channel transmission / repetition opportunities (e.g., times T2a-T2d in Figures 17-19). The wireless device may repeat (the transmission of) a transport block over / on / at multiple uplink signal / channel transmission / repetition opportunities. The wireless device may transmit to a transport block "repetition number" times. For example, when the repetition number is 4, the wireless device may transmit the transport block four times. When the repetition number is 2, the wireless device may transmit the transport block two times.

[0224] The wireless device may repeat (transmission of) a transport block over / on / in multiple uplink signal / channel transmission / repetition opportunities, for example, based on the TDRA field indicating the repetition number.

[0225] The wireless device may repeat (transmission of) a transport block over / on / in multiple uplink signal / channel transmission / repetition opportunities based, for example, on one or more configuration parameters indicating the number of repetitions.

[0226] In one embodiment, the one or more configuration parameters may indicate a repetition scheme (e.g., FDM-Scheme, TDM-Scheme, SFN-scheme, SDM-Scheme, CDM-Scheme). In one embodiment, the DCI may indicate a repetition scheme. The DCI may include one or more fields (e.g., SRI field, TCI field, antenna port field, etc.) indicating a repetition scheme. The repetition scheme may be for repetition of transmission of a transport block (e.g., PUSCH transmission) over uplink resources (e.g., PUCCH resources, SRS resources, PUSCH resources). The repetition scheme may be, for example, time domain repetition (e.g., TDM in FIG. 20). The repetition scheme may be, for example, frequency domain repetition (e.g., FDM in FIG. 20). The repetition scheme may be, for example, code / spatial domain repetition (e.g., SDM / SFN in FIG. 20). In FIG. 17-FIG. 19, the repetition scheme is time domain repetition.

[0227] The wireless device may repeat a transport block (of transmission) over / across / in multiple uplink signal / channel transmissions / repetition opportunities based, for example, on one or more configuration parameters indicating a repetition scheme.

[0228] The repetition of the transport block may be, for example, a time domain repetition (e.g., TDM, TDMSchemeA, TDMSchemeB, etc. in FIG. 20). In the time domain repetition, the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may not overlap in time. Each uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may have a non-overlapping time domain resource allocation with respect to other uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities. For example, a first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may not overlap in time with a second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities. The first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity and the second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity may be different. In the time domain repetition, the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may or may not overlap in frequency. The multiple uplink signal / channel transmission / repetition opportunities are the first TX opportunity, the second TX opportunity, the third TX opportunity, and the fourth TX opportunity in the time domain repetition (e.g., TDM) in FIG. 20. In the time domain repetition, the repetition of the transport block may be, for example, a time unit (e.g., TDM-ed). The wireless device may repeat the transmission of the transport block, for example, over / on / in the time unit. The time unit may be, for example, continuous. The time unit may not be, for example, continuous (e.g., may have a time / symbol / slot gap). The number of time units may be equal to the number of repetitions. The time unit may be, for example, a time slot. The time unit may be, for example, a minislot. The time unit may be, for example, a time symbol (e.g., OFDM symbol). The time unit may be, for example, a subframe. The time unit may be, for example, an actual / nominal repetition. The multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may be / occur in the time unit.For example, a first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may be / occur in a first time unit of the time units. A second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may be / occur in a second time unit of the time units, etc. The first time unit may be different from the second time unit. The first time unit may not overlap in time with the second time unit.

[0229] The repetition of the transport block may be, for example, a frequency domain repetition (e.g., FDM, FDMSchemeA, FDMSchemeB, etc. in FIG. 20). In a time domain repetition, the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may or may not overlap in time. In a frequency domain repetition, the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may not overlap in frequency. Each uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may have a non-overlapping frequency domain resource allocation with respect to other uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities. For example, a first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may not overlap in frequency with a second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities. The first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity and the second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity may overlap in time. The first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity and the second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity may be different. The multiple uplink signal / channel transmission / repetition opportunities are the first TX opportunity, the second TX opportunity in frequency domain repetition (e.g., FDM) in FIG. 20. In frequency domain repetition, the repetition of the transport block can be / occur, for example, in frequency units (e.g., frequencies, PRBs, frequency bands, subbands, bandwidth portions, cells). The wireless device can repeat transmission of the transport block, for example, across / on / in the frequency units. The frequency units can be, for example, contiguous. The frequency units can be, for example, non-contiguous (e.g., can have frequency / PRB gaps). The number of frequency units can be equal to the number of repetitions. The frequency units can be, for example, frequency bands. The frequency units can be, for example, physical resource blocks (PRBs). The frequency units can be, for example, BWPs. The frequency units can be, for example, cells. The multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities can be / occur, in frequency units.For example, a first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity of the plurality of uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may be / occur in a first frequency unit of frequency units. A second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity of the plurality of uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may be / occur in a second frequency unit of frequency units, etc. The first frequency unit may be different from the second frequency unit. The first frequency unit may not overlap in frequency with the second frequency unit.

[0230] The repetition of the transport block may be, for example, a code / spatial domain repetition scheme (e.g., SDM / SFN in FIG. 20, SDM scheme, CDM scheme, SDMScheme, CDMScheme, etc.). In a code / spatial domain repetition scheme, the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may overlap in time. In a code / spatial domain repetition scheme, the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may overlap in frequency. In a code / spatial domain repetition, the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may be uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities (e.g., or a single uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity). Each uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may be the same (or the same as the uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity or the single uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity). Each uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may have an overlapping frequency domain resource allocation with respect to other uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities. Each uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may have a time domain resource allocation that overlaps with other uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities. For example, a first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may overlap in time and frequency with a second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities. The first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., first TX opportunity) and the second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., second TX opportunity) may be the same. The multiple uplink signal / channel transmission / repetition opportunities are the first TX opportunity, the second TX opportunity in the code / spatial domain repetition (e.g., SDM / SFN) in FIG. 20. The first TX opportunity and the second TX opportunity may be the same in the code / spatial domain repetition (e.g., overlap in time and frequency).In a code / spatial domain repetition, multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may occur in the same frequency unit (e.g., frequency, PRB, frequency band, bandwidth portion, cell). For example, a first frequency unit of a first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity and a second frequency unit of a second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity may overlap in frequency. Multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may occur in the same time unit (e.g., symbol, actual / nominal repetition, minislot, slot, subframe, etc.). For example, a first time unit of a first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity and a second time unit of a second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity may overlap in time.

[0231] For example, in Figures 17 to 19, the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities include a first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., 1st TX opportunity, 1st time slot, 1st actual / nominal repetition), a second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., 2nd TX opportunity, 2nd time slot, 2nd actual / nominal repetition), a third uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., 3rd TX opportunity, 3rd time slot, 3rd actual / nominal repetition), and a fourth uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., 4th TX opportunity, 4th time slot, 4th actual / nominal repetition).

[0232] In one embodiment, the wireless device may determine / calculate / compute multiple transmit powers for transmission of the transport block.

[0233] A wireless device may perform transmission of a transport block with / using multiple transmit powers. A wireless device may transmit a transport block with / using multiple transmit powers.

[0234] The wireless device may, for example, determine / calculate / compute multiple transmit powers for repetitions of a transport block. The wireless device may repeat transmissions of a transport block with / using multiple transmit powers (e.g., at times T2a-T2d in Figures 17-19). The wireless device may transmit repetitions of a transport block with / using multiple transmit powers.

[0235] In one embodiment, the wireless device may transmit a transport block over / on / in multiple uplink signal / channel transmission / repetition opportunities (e.g., times T2a-T2d in FIGS. 17-19) with multiple transmission powers. The wireless device may transmit a transport block over / on / in each uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities with / using a respective transmission power of the multiple transmission powers. The wireless device may transmit a transport block in each uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities with / using a respective transmission power of the multiple transmission powers.

[0236] The wireless device may transmit a transport block across / on / in one or more first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities with / using a first transmission power of the multiple transmission powers. The wireless device may transmit a transport block across / on / in one or more second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities with / using a second transmission power of the multiple transmission powers. In FIGS. 17-19, the one or more first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities are a first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., 1 st TX opportunity, 1 st time slot, 1 st actual / nominal repetition at time T2a) and a third uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., 3 rd TX opportunity, 3 rd time slot, 3 rd actual / nominal repetition at time T2c). The one or more second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities are a second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., second TX opportunity, second time slot, second actual / nominal repetition at time T2b) and a fourth uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., fourth TX opportunity, fourth time slot, fourth actual / nominal repetition at time T2d).

[0237] In one embodiment, the number of repetitions may be two. The multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may include a first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., a first TX opportunity) and a second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., a second TX opportunity). The wireless device may transmit a transport block in the first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity with / using a first transmit power. The wireless device may apply the first transmit power to the first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity. The wireless device may transmit a transport block in the second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity with / using a second transmit power. The wireless device may apply the second transmit power to the second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity.

[0238] In one embodiment, the number of repetitions may be greater than (or greater than) two. In one embodiment, one or more configuration parameters may indicate periodic mapping. Periodic mapping may enable / indicate mapping of multiple transmission powers to multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities, for example, periodically (e.g., periodically switching transmission power). The wireless device may transmit a transport block on a first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., a first TX opportunity) of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities with / using a first transmission power. The wireless device may apply the first transmission power to the first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity. The wireless device may transmit a transport block on a second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., a second TX opportunity) of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities with / using a second transmission power. The wireless device may apply the second transmission power to the second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity. The same transmission power mapping pattern may remain on the uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities, for example, based on one or more configuration parameters indicating periodic mapping. The remaining uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may not include the first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity and the second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity. For example, if the number of repetitions is equal to four, the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may include the first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity, the second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity, the third uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., the third TX opportunity), and the fourth uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., the fourth TX opportunity). The wireless device may transmit a transport block on the first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity and the third uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity with / using the first transmission power. The wireless device may transmit a transport block in the second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity and the fourth uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity with / using the second transmit power.For example, when the number of repetitions is equal to 8, the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities may include a first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., a first TX opportunity), a second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., a second TX opportunity), a third uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., a third TX opportunity), a fourth uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., a fourth TX opportunity), a fifth uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., a fifth TX opportunity), a sixth uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., a sixth TX opportunity), a seventh uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., a seventh TX opportunity), and an eighth uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., an eighth TX opportunity). The wireless device may transmit transport blocks in the first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity, the third uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity, the fifth uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity, and the seventh uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity with / using the first transmit power. The wireless device may transmit transport blocks in the second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity, the fourth uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity, the sixth uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity, and the eighth uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity with / using the second transmission power. Figures 17-19 show examples of periodic mapping (e.g., the first transmission power is used for the first and third uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities, and the second transmission power is used for the second and fourth uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities).

[0239] In one embodiment, the number of repetitions may be greater than (or greater than) two. In one embodiment, one or more configuration parameters may indicate a sequential mapping. The sequential mapping may, for example, enable mapping of multiple transmission powers to multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities in a sequential manner (e.g., switching between sequential transmission powers). The wireless device may transmit a transport block with / using a first transmission power in a first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., a first TX opportunity) of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities and in a second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., a second TX opportunity) of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities. The wireless device may apply the first transmission power to the first uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity and to the second uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity. The wireless device may transmit a transport block with / using the second transmission power in a third uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., a third TX opportunity) of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities and in a fourth uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity (e.g., a fourth TX opportunity) of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities. The wireless device may apply the second transmission power to the third uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity and to the fourth uplink signal / channel transmission opportunity. The same transmission power mapping pattern may remain on the uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities of the multiple uplink signal / channel transmission opportunities based, for example, on one or more configuration parameters indicating sequential mapping.
