Abstract

A plurality of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) groups comprise a primary PUCCH group comprising a primary cell and a secondary PUCCH group comprising a PUCCH secondary cell. The wireless device deactivates the PUCCH secondary cell after a deactivation condition for the PUCCH secondary cell is met. The wireless device stops receiving downlink shared channel transport blocks on a first secondary cell in the secondary PUCCH group after deactivation of the PUCCH secondary cell. The wireless device continues receiving downlink multicast channel transport blocks on the first secondary cell.

Claims (46)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device from a base station, at least one message comprising configuration parameters of a plurality of cells, the plurality of cells grouped into a plurality of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) groups comprising:

a primary PUCCH group comprising a primary cell with a primary PUCCH transmitted to the base station; and

a secondary PUCCH group comprising a PUCCH secondary cell with a secondary PUCCH transmitted to the base station;

deactivating the PUCCH secondary cell after a deactivation condition for the PUCCH secondary cell is met;

stopping receiving downlink shared channel transport blocks on a first secondary cell in the secondary PUCCH group after deactivation of the PUCCH secondary cell, wherein the first secondary cell is different from the PUCCH secondary cell; and

continuing receiving downlink multicast channel transport blocks on the first secondary cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising stopping transmission of positive acknowledgement and negative acknowledgement on the PUCCH secondary cell after deactivation of the PUCCH secondary cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

continuing receiving uplink grants comprising uplink radio resource parameters for transmission of an uplink transport block on the first secondary cell; and

transmitting the uplink transport block on the first secondary cell.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising continuing transmission of sounding reference signals on the first secondary cell.

5. A method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a MAC deactivation command from the base station indicating deactivation of the PUCCH secondary cell.

6. A method of claim 1 , wherein a deactivation timer of the PUCCH secondary cell is disabled.

7. A method of claim 1 , further comprising maintaining configuration of PUCCH resources of the PUCCH secondary cell when the PUCCH secondary cell is deactivated.

8. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a base station to a wireless device, at least one message comprising configuration parameters of a plurality of cells, the plurality of cells grouped into a plurality of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) groups comprising:

a primary PUCCH group comprising a primary cell with a primary PUCCH received by the base station; and

a secondary PUCCH group comprising a PUCCH secondary cell with a secondary PUCCH received by the base station;

deactivate a state of the PUCCH secondary cell for the wireless device after a deactivation condition for the PUCCH secondary cell is met;

stopping transmitting, to the wireless device, downlink shared channel transport blocks on a first secondary cell in the secondary PUCCH group after deactivation of the PUCCH secondary cell, wherein the first secondary cell is different from the PUCCH secondary cell; and

continuing transmitting downlink multicast channel transport blocks on the first secondary cell.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising stopping reception of positive acknowledgement and negative acknowledgement on the PUCCH secondary cell after deactivation of the PUCCH secondary cell.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

continuing transmitting, to the wireless device, uplink grants comprising uplink radio resource parameters for transmission of an uplink transport block on the first secondary cell; and

receiving the uplink transport block on the first secondary cell.

11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising continuing receiving, from the wireless device, sounding reference signals on the first secondary cell.

12. A method of claim 8 , further comprising transmitting a MAC deactivation command from the base station indicating deactivation of the PUCCH secondary cell.

13. A method of claim 8 , wherein a deactivation timer of the PUCCH secondary cell for the wireless device is disabled.

14. A method of claim 8 , further comprising maintaining configuration of PUCCH resources of the PUCCH secondary cell, when the PUCCH secondary cell is deactivated.

15. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the wireless device to:

receive, from a base station, at least one message comprising configuration parameters of a plurality of cells, the plurality of cells grouped into a plurality of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) groups comprising:

a primary PUCCH group comprising a primary cell with a primary PUCCH transmitted to the base station; and

a secondary PUCCH group comprising a PUCCH secondary cell with a secondary PUCCH transmitted to the base station;

deactivate the PUCCH secondary cell after a deactivation condition for the PUCCH secondary cell is met;

stop receiving downlink shared channel transport blocks on a first secondary cell in the secondary PUCCH group after deactivation of the PUCCH secondary cell, wherein the first secondary cell is different from the PUCCH secondary cell; and

continue receiving downlink multicast channel transport blocks on the first secondary cell.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the wireless device to stop transmission of positive acknowledgement and negative acknowledgement on the PUCCH secondary cell after deactivation of the PUCCH secondary cell.

17. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the wireless device to:

continue receiving uplink grants comprising uplink radio resource parameters for transmission of an uplink transport block on the first secondary cell; and

transmit the uplink transport block on the first secondary cell.

18. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the wireless device to continue transmission of sounding reference signals on the first secondary cell.

19. A wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the wireless device to receive a MAC deactivation command from the base station indicating deactivation of the PUCCH secondary cell.

20. A wireless device of claim 15 , wherein a deactivation timer of the PUCCH secondary cell is disabled.
