Abstract: A next-generation node B (gNB) configured for operation in a fifth-generation system (5GS) encode signalling for transmission to a user equipment (UE) indicating a Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state change to activate a new TCI state. A physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is encoded in accordance with a highest aggregation level if the signalling indicating the TCI state change indicates activation of a new TCI state for the PDCCH. A physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is encoded in accordance with a lowest modulation and coding scheme (MCS) level if the signalling indicating the TCI state change indicates activation of a new TCI state for the PDSCH. After the TCI state change, reference signals (RS) are transmitted with a different spatial filter or different antenna ports demodulation of the PDCCH and PDSCH by the UE.

Abstract: The pre-configuration of a grant of a non-active bandwidth part (BWP) or other wireless resource may be beneficial to reduce signaling overhead. A base station may not need to transmit a DCI to activate a configured grant if the configured grant on a non-active BWP is activated based on switching an active BWP to a pre-configured BWP. If a configured grant on a non-active BWP is activated, a base station may not need to transmit a DCI on a new active BWP for a resource grant. A wireless device may receive a DCI indicating a switch an active BWP from a first BWP to a second BWP for a particular cell. The configured grants may be type 1 grant-free transmission that may not need activation signaling. The activation and/or deactivation of the one or more configured grants may depend on the state of the second BWP.
