Media access control for a wireless device and wireless network

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, at least one message comprising:

configuration parameters of one or more secondary cells; and

at least one information element indicating that a first type of extended power headroom is configured, wherein the at least one information element is configured in response to a physical uplink control channel being configured for a secondary cell in the one or more secondary cells;

receiving an activation/deactivation media access control control element (A/D MAC CE), wherein if up to seven of the one or more secondary cells are each configured with a cell index having a value between one and seven, then the A/D MAC CE is of a fixed size of one octet and the A/D MAC CE is identified by a first subheader comprising a first logical channel identifier (LCID), otherwise the A/D MAC CE is of a fixed size of four octets and the A/D MAC CE is identified by a second subheader comprising a second LCID different from the first LCID;

activating at least one secondary cell in the one or more secondary cells according to the A/D MAC CE; and

in response to the at least one information element and activating the at least one secondary cell, transmitting an extended power headroom report MAC CE (PHR MAC CE) of the first type, the extended PHR MAC CE comprises a presence field, wherein:

when up to seven of the one or more secondary cells are each configured with a cell index having a value between one and seven:

the presence field is of a fixed size of one octet; and

the extended PHR MAC CE is identified by a third subheader comprising a third LCID; and

when the one or more secondary cells comprise more than seven secondary cells with configured uplinks:

the presence field is of a fixed size of four octets; and

the extended PHR MAC CE is identified by the third subheader comprising the third LCID.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the first LCID and the second LCID each have a length of five bits;

the first subheader has a size of one octet and comprises the first LCID;

the second subheader has a size of one octet and comprises the second LCID; and

the first subheader and the second subheader do not include a length field.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a bit in the A/D MAC CE indicates an activation/deactivation status of a corresponding secondary cell when the corresponding secondary cell is configured.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device ignores a bit in the A/D MAC CE when a corresponding secondary cell is not configured.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a bit in the A/D MAC CE indicates that a corresponding secondary cell is activated when the bit is set to one and the corresponding secondary cell is configured.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a bit in the A/D MAC CE indicates that a corresponding secondary cell is deactivated when the bit is set to zero and the corresponding secondary cell is configured.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second LCID is employed when more than seven of the one or more secondary cells are configured.

8. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a base station to a wireless device, at least one message comprising:

configuration parameters of one or more secondary cells; and

at least one information element indicating that a first type of extended power headroom is configured, wherein the at least one information element is configured in response to a physical uplink control channel being configured for a secondary cell in the one or more secondary cells;

transmitting an activation/deactivation media access control control element (A/D MAC CE), wherein if up to seven of the one or more secondary cells are each configured with a cell index having a value between one and seven, then the A/D MAC CE is of a fixed size of one octet and the A/D MAC CE is identified by a first subheader comprising a first logical channel identifier (LCID), otherwise, the A/D MAC CE is of a fixed size of four octets and the A/D MAC CE is identified by a second subheader with a second LCID different from the first LCID;

activating a status of at least one secondary cell in the one or more secondary cells according to the A/D MAC CE; and

in response to transmitting the at least one message comprising the at least one information element, receiving an extended power headroom report MAC CE (PHR MAC CE) of the first type, the extended PHR MAC CE comprises a presence field, wherein:

when up to seven of the one or more secondary cells are each configured with a cell index having a value between one and seven:

the presence field is of a fixed size of one octet; and

the extended PHR MAC CE is identified by a third subheader comprising a third LCID; and

when the one or more secondary cells comprise more than seven secondary cells with configured uplinks:

the presence field is of a fixed size of four octets; and

the extended PHR MAC CE is identified by the third subheader comprising the third LCID.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein:

the first LCID and the second LCID each have a length of five bits;

the first subheader has a size of one octet and comprises the first LCID;

the second subheader has a size of one octet and comprises the second LCID; and

the first subheader and the second subheader do not include a length field.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein a bit in the A/D MAC CE indicates an activation/deactivation status of a corresponding secondary cell when the corresponding secondary cell is configured.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the wireless device ignores a bit in the A/D MAC CE when a corresponding secondary cell is not configured.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein a bit in the A/D MAC CE indicates that a corresponding secondary cell is activated when the bit is set to one and the corresponding secondary cell is configured.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second LCID is employed when more than seven of the one or more secondary cells are configured.
