    摘要: Systems and methods relating to 6-port and/or greater than 8-port Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) configurations are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a radio access node in a cellular communications network comprises configuring a plurality of CSI-RS ports for a wireless device, where the plurality of CSI-RS ports is six CSI-RS ports, ten CSI-RS ports, twelve CSI-RS ports, fourteen CSI-RS ports, or sixteen CSI-RS ports, depending on the embodiment. The method further comprises transmitting CSI-RS on at least a subset of the plurality of CSI-RS ports configured for the wireless device. In this manner, support for, e.g., an increased number of antenna ports and/or support for two-dimensional (2D) antenna arrays is provided.

    摘要: Systems and methods for associating power control states with Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) states are provided. In some embodiments, a method performed by a wireless communication device comprises obtains information that indicates associations between two or more power control states and: (a) two or more TCI states, (b) two or more uplink (UL) channels, (c) two or more UL resources, (d) two or more UL resource sets, (e) two or more UL resource groups, or (f) any combination of two or more of (a)-(e). In this way, some embodiments herein enable efficient signaling to associate the TCI states with the power control states.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing aperiodic Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) triggering in a wireless system. Embodiments of a method performed by a wireless device and corresponding embodiments of a wireless device are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method in a wireless device for triggering aperiodic SRS comprises receiving a first SRS configuration for a first type of aperiodic SRS transmission and a second SRS configuration for a second type of aperiodic SRS transmission. The method further comprises receiving downlink control information comprising a parameter for triggering an aperiodic SRS transmission and determining whether to use the first SRS configuration or the second SRS configuration. The method further comprises transmitting an aperiodic SRS transmission in accordance with the determined SRS configuration. Embodiments of a method performed by a base station and corresponding embodiments of a base station are also disclosed.

    摘要: Systems and methods for linking Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) candidates are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method includes: receiving a configuration of a first and second Control Resource Set (CORESET) associated with a first and second Search Space (SS) set; determining that the first and second SS set are configured with a common set of parameters; activating the first and second CORESET with a first and second TCI state; linking a first PDCCH candidate in a first PDCCH monitoring occasion to a second PDCCH candidate in a second PDCCH monitoring occasion; receiving a PDCCH in the first PDCCH candidate and the PDCCH in the second PDCCH candidate; and detecting the PDCCH in the first and the second PDCCH candidates. Some embodiments might provide a simple way for linking PDCCH candidates in two SS sets to support both intra-slot and inter-slot PDCCH repetition in either TDM or FDM manner.

    摘要: Embodiments herein show a method performed by a user equipment for handling communication via a set of serving cells comprising a first serving cell and a second serving cell of a communication network. The user equipment receives a grant on a first serving cell, wherein the grant comprises a first identifier identifying Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resources of the first serving cell. Furthermore, the user equipment calculates a first CSI report for the first serving cell using the CSI-RS resources identified by the first identifier; and calculates a second CSI report for a second serving cell, using CSI-RS resources of the second serving cell identified by a second identifier, the second identifier being received previously in a grant on the second serving cell. The user equipment then transmits the first and second CSI reports to a network node serving the first serving cell.

    摘要: Method and apparatus are disclosed herein for providing Downlink Control Information (DCI)-based Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) state update with flexible channel selection. In one embodiment, a method performed by a network node of a cellular communication system comprises transmitting, to a User Equipment (UE), a DCI having a DCI format comprising a TCI state update indication, and a TCI state update application indication indicating one or more channels or signals to which the TCI state update is to be applied by the UE. In another embodiment, a method performed by a UE comprises receiving a DCI having a DCI format comprising a TCI state update indication and a TCI state update application indication indicating one or more channels or signals to which the TCI state update is to be applied by the UE, and applying the TCI state update as indicated by the TCI state update application indication.
