Abstract

A wireless device receives, from a base station, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages that includes one or more configuration parameters for a cell. The one or more configuration parameters include a unified transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state type parameter that indicates a unified TCI state type among a separate unified TCI state type and a joint unified TCI state type. The wireless device may then communicate, with the base station and via the cell, based on the indicated unified TCI state type.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wireless device comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:
receive, from a base station, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising one or more configuration parameters for a cell, wherein the one or more configuration parameters comprise a unified transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state type parameter that indicates a unified TCI state type among a separate unified TCI state type and a joint unified TCI state type, wherein:
the separate unified TCI state type indicates that the one or more configuration parameters indicate one or more first TCI states for downlink receptions via the cell and one or more second TCI states for uplink transmissions via the cell; and
the joint unified TCI state type indicates that the one or more configuration parameters indicate one or more third TCI states for both the downlink receptions and the uplink transmissions via the cell; and

communicate, with the base station and via the cell, based on the unified TCI state type.

2. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the unified TCI state type parameter indicates the separate unified TCI state type.

3. The wireless device of claim 2 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:
receive, via the cell, the downlink receptions based on the one or more first TCI states; and
transmit, via the cell, the uplink transmissions based on the one or more second TCI states.

4. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the unified TCI state type parameter indicates the joint unified TCI state type.

5. The wireless device of claim 4 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:
receive, via the cell, the downlink receptions based on the one or more third TCI states; and
transmit, via the cell, the uplink transmissions based on the one or more third TCI states.

6. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more first TCI states, the one or more second TCI states, or the one or more third TCI states comprise at least one source reference signal (RS).

7. The wireless device of claim 6 , wherein the at least one source RS indicates a quasi co-location (QCL) information for at least for reception via a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and one or more control resource sets (coresets) via the cell.

8. The wireless device of claim 6 , wherein the at least one source RS indicates a reference for determining an uplink spatial domain filter for at least for transmission of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and one or more physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources via the cell.

9. A base station comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to:
transmit, to a wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising one or more configuration parameters for a cell, wherein the one or more configuration parameters comprise a unified transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state type parameter that indicates a unified TCI state type among a separate unified TCI state type and a joint unified TCI state type, wherein:
the separate unified TCI state type indicates that the one or more configuration parameters indicate one or more first TCI states for downlink receptions via the cell and one or more second TCI states for uplink transmissions via the cell; and
the joint unified TCI state type indicates that the one or more configuration parameters indicate one or more third TCI states for both the downlink receptions and the uplink transmissions via the cell; and

communicate, with the wireless device and via the cell, based on the unified TCI state type.

10. The base station of claim 9 , wherein the unified TCI state type parameter indicates the separate unified TCI state type.

11. The base station of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to:
transmit, via the cell, the downlink receptions based on the one or more first TCI states; and
receive, via the cell, the uplink transmissions based on the one or more second TCI states.

12. The base station of claim 9 , wherein the unified TCI state type parameter indicates the joint unified TCI state type.

13. The base station of claim 12 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to:
transmit, via the cell, the downlink receptions based on the one or more third TCI states; and
receive, via the cell, the uplink transmissions based on the one or more third TCI states.

14. The base station of claim 9 , wherein the one or more first TCI states, the one or more second TCI states, or the one or more third TCI states comprise at least one source reference signal (RS).

15. The base station of claim 14 , wherein the at least one source RS indicates a quasi co-location (QCL) information for at least for transmission via a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and one or more control resource sets (coresets) via the cell.

16. The base station of claim 14 , wherein the at least one source RS indicates a reference for determining an uplink spatial domain filter for at least for transmission of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and one or more physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources via the cell.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless device, cause the wireless device to:
receive, from a base station, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising one or more configuration parameters for a cell, wherein the one or more configuration parameters comprise a unified transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state type parameter that indicates a unified TCI state type among a separate unified TCI state type and a joint unified TCI state type, wherein:
the separate unified TCI state type indicates that the one or more configuration parameters indicate one or more first TCI states for downlink receptions via the cell and one or more second TCI states for uplink transmissions via the cell; and
the joint unified TCI state type indicates that the one or more configuration parameters indicate one or more third TCI states for both the downlink receptions and the uplink transmissions via the cell; and

communicate, with the base station and via the cell, based on the unified TCI state type.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein:
the unified TCI state type parameter indicates the separate unified TCI state type; and
the instructions further cause the wireless device to:
receive, via the cell, the downlink receptions based on the one or more first TCI states; and
transmit, via the cell, the uplink transmissions based on the one or more second TCI states.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein:
the unified TCI state type parameter indicates the joint unified TCI state type; and
the instructions further cause the wireless device to:
receive, via the cell, the downlink receptions based on the one or more third TCI states; and
transmit, via the cell, the uplink transmissions based on the one or more third TCI states.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the one or more first TCI states, the one or more second TCI states, or the one or more third TCI states comprise at least one so
