Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for wireless communications. A base station may transmit, to a wireless device, one or more radio resource control messages comprising parameters for a discontinuous reception operation and one or more beam procedures. The wireless device may monitor, based on one or more of the parameters, a downlink control channel for downlink control information (DCI). After detecting the DCI, the wireless device may receive one or more downlink packets.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages indicating:
- one or more preambles of a beam failure recovery procedure;
- and
- one or more parameters of a discontinuous reception (DRX) operation;
- monitoring, based on determining that a medium access control (MAC) entity of the wireless device is not in a DRX active time, a downlink control channel for downlink control information (DCI);
- detecting, during the monitoring the downlink control channel, the DCI;
- and
- receiving, based on one or more downlink assignments indicated by the DCI, one or more downlink packets.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless device, one or more first radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising one or more downlink beam management parameters;
- receiving one or more second RRC messages comprising one or more discontinuous reception (DRX) parameters;
- monitoring, based on determining that a medium access control (MAC) entity of the wireless device is not in a DRX active time, a downlink control channel for downlink control information (DCI);
- detecting, during the monitoring the downlink control channel, the DCI;
- and
- receiving, based on one or more downlink assignments indicated by the DCI, one or more downlink packets.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless device, one or more first radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising one or more uplink beam management parameters;
- receiving one or more second RRC messages comprising one or more discontinuous reception (DRX) parameters;
- receiving first downlink control information (DCI) associated with an uplink beam management and indicating at least one of the one or more uplink beam management parameters;
- based on the receiving the first DCI, starting a timer;
- monitoring, after the starting the timer and prior to an expiration of the timer, a downlink control channel for a second DCI;
- detecting, during the monitoring the downlink control channel, the second DCI;
- and
- receiving, based on one or more downlink assignments indicated by the second DCI, one or more downlink packets.
