Abstract

A wireless device receives one or more messages. The one or more messages comprise configuration parameters of the cell. The configuration parameters indicate a plurality of control resource sets for multiple transmission reception points. Downlink control information (DCI) is received via a control resource set of the plurality of control resource sets. The DCI comprises a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource indicator. The control resource set comprises one or more control channel elements starting from a first control channel element. A PUCCH resource is determined based on the PUCCH resource indicator. The PUCCH resource is determined based on an index of the first control channel element. The PUCCH resource is determined based on the control resource set. An uplink control information is transmitted via the PUCCH resource in response to the determination of the PUCCH resource.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a wireless device from a base station, one or more messages comprising configuration parameters of a cell, wherein the configuration parameters indicate a plurality of control resource sets for multiple transmission reception points;
receiving downlink control information (DCI) via a transmission reception point of the multiple transmission reception points and a control resource set of the plurality of control resource sets, wherein:
the DCI comprises a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource indicator; and
the control resource set comprises one or more control channel elements starting from a first control channel element;

determining an index of a PUCCH resource based on an equation comprising:
a value of the PUCCH resource indicator;
an index of the first control channel element; and
a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state value; and

transmitting, in response to the determining, uplink control information via the PUCCH resource associated with the index of the PUCCH resource.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters further indicate one or more of the plurality of control resource sets for each of the multiple transmission reception points.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the DCI via the control resource set of the plurality of control resource sets comprises receiving the DCI via one of the plurality of control resource sets from each of the multiple transmission reception points.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI is transmitted from different transmission reception points of the multiple transmission reception points.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI is transmitted from different control resource sets from a same transmission reception point of the multiple transmission reception points.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PUCCH resource comprises one or more PUCCH resources.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the one or more PUCCH resources are from a same PUCCH resource set.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink control information comprises at least one of:
an acknowledgment (ACK);
a negative acknowledgment (NACK);
a channel state information (CSI);
a scheduling request (SR); and
a channel quality indication (CQI).

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PUCCH resource indicator indicates a PUCCH resource parameter used for PUCCH resources determination by the wireless device.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the uplink control information via the PUCCH resource comprises transmitting the uplink control information via the PUCCH resource on one or more orthogonal frequency division multiplexing symbols.

11. A wireless device comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:
receive, from a base station, one or more messages comprising configuration parameters of a cell, wherein the configuration parameters indicate a plurality of control resource sets for multiple transmission reception points;
receive downlink control information (DCI) via a transmission reception point of the multiple transmission reception points and a control resource set of the plurality of control resource sets, wherein:
the DCI comprises a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource indicator; and
the control resource set comprises one or more control channel elements starting from a first control channel element;

determine an index of a PUCCH resource based on an equation comprising:
a value of the PUCCH resource indicator;
an index of the first control channel element; and
a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state value; and

transmit, in response to determining the PUCCH resource, uplink control information via the PUCCH resource associated with the index of the PUCCH resource.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the configuration parameters further indicate one or more of the plurality of control resource sets for each of the multiple transmission reception points.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive the DCI via one of the plurality of control resource sets from each of the multiple transmission reception points.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the DCI is transmitted from different transmission reception points of the multiple transmission reception points.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the PUCCH resource comprises one or more PUCCH resources.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the one or more PUCCH resources are from a same PUCCH resource set.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the uplink control information comprises at least one of:
an acknowledgment (ACK);
a negative acknowledgment (NACK);
a channel state information (CSI);
a scheduling request (SR); and
a channel quality indication (CQI).

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the PUCCH resource indicator indicates a PUCCH resource parameter used for PUCCH resources determined by the wireless device.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to transmit the uplink control information via the PUCCH resource on one or more orthogonal frequency division multiplexing symbols.

20. A system comprising:
a base station comprising:
one or more first processors; and
first memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the base station to:
transmit one or more messages comprising configuration parameters of a cell, wherein the configuration parameters indicate a plurality of control resource sets for multiple transmission reception points; and
transmit downlink control information (DCI) via a transmission reception point of the multiple transmission reception points and a control resource set of the plurality of control resource sets, wherein:
the DCI comprises a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource indicator; and
the control resource set comprises one or more control channel elements starting from a first control channel element; and

a wireless device comprising:
one or more second processors; and
second memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the wireless device to:
receive the one or more messages;
receive the DCI via the control resource set of the plurality of control resource sets;
