Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device for configuring an activated SCell with PUCCH resource in a carrier aggregation system, the method comprising: configuring with a Secondary Cell (SCell); receiving a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling indicating that Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource is configured for the SCell; configuring the PUCCH resource with the SCell according to the RRC signaling; and disabling a SCell deactivation timer associated with the SCell if the SCell deactivation timer associated with the SCell is running when the RRC signaling is received.

Claims (22)

1. A method for disabling a Secondary cell (SCell) deactivation timer related to an SCell in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a User Equipment (UE) and comprising:

receiving Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling including information that a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) is configured for the SCell;

configuring the PUCCH based on the received RRC signaling;

disabling the SCell deactivation timer if the SCell deactivation timer is running when the RRC signaling is received; and

activating the SCell if the SCell deactivation timer is not running when the RRC signaling is received.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising re-activating the SCell while keeping the SCell deactivation timer disabled after disabling the SCell deactivation timer.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising stopping the SCell deactivation timer before disabling the SCell deactivation timer.

4. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising transmitting a Sounding Reference Signal on the SCell, transmitting channel status information for the SCell, monitoring a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) on the SCell, or monitoring the PDCCH for a plurality of SCells while the SCell is re-activated.

5. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising triggering a Power Headroom Report when the SCell is re-activated.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising setting a value of the SCell deactivation timer to infinity when the SCell deactivation timer is disabled.

7. A User Equipment (UE) for disabling a Secondary cell (SCell) deactivation timer related to an SCell in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a receiver configured to receive information; and

a processor configured to:

control the receiver to receive Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling including information that a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) is configured for the SCell;

configure the PUCCH based on the received RRC signaling;

disable the SCell deactivation timer if the SCell deactivation timer is running when the RRC signaling is received; and

activate the SCell if the SCell deactivation timer is not running when the RRC signaling is received.

8. The UE according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to re-activate the SCell while keeping the SCell deactivation timer disabled after disabling the SCell deactivation timer.

9. The UE according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to stop the SCell deactivation timer before disabling the SCell deactivation timer.

10. The UE according to claim 8 , further comprising a transmitter configured to transmit information, wherein the processor is further configured to control the transmitter to transmit a Sounding Reference Signal on the SCell, control the transmitter to transmit channel status information for the SCell, monitor a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) on the SCell, or monitor the PDCCH for a plurality of SCells while the SCell is re-activated.

11. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to trigger a Power Headroom Report when the SCell is re-activated.

12. The UE according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to set a value of the SCell deactivation timer to infinity when the SCell deactivation timer is disabled.
