Systems and methods for a physical uplink control channel on a secondary cell
A method by a user equipment (UE) is described. The method includes receiving a RRC message including a first parameter related to a maximum number of scheduling request transmission for a secondary cell, performing a scheduling request procedure based on the first parameter, and transmitting a scheduling request on a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) on the secondary cell. The RRC message further includes a second parameter related to a maximum number of scheduling request transmission for a primary cell and the scheduling request procedure is performed further based on the second parameter.
1. A method by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message including:
i) a first parameter related to a maximum number of scheduling request transmissions for a secondary cell, and
ii) a second parameter related to a maximum number of scheduling request transmissions for a primary cell; and
transmitting a scheduling request on a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) on the secondary cell, wherein
a scheduling request procedure is performed based on the first parameter or the second parameter, and
the first parameter and the second parameter are set to a sufficient value for a total number of scheduling request transmissions both for the primary cell and for the secondary cell.
2. A method by an evolved Node B (eNB), comprising:
transmitting a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message including:
i) a first parameter related to a maximum number of scheduling request transmissions for a secondary cell, and
ii) a second parameter related to a maximum number of scheduling request transmissions for a primary cell; and
receiving a scheduling request on a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) on the secondary cell, wherein
a scheduling request procedure is performed based on the first parameter or the second parameter, and
the first parameter and the second parameter are set to a sufficient value for a total number of scheduling request transmissions both for the primary cell and for the secondary cell.
3. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
a processing circuitry configured and/or programmed to:
receive a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message including:
i) a first parameter related to a maximum number of scheduling request transmissions for a secondary cell, and
ii) a second parameter related to a maximum number of scheduling request transmissions for a primary cell;
and
transmit a scheduling request on a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) on the secondary cell, wherein
a scheduling request procedure is performed further based on the first parameter or the second parameter, and
the first parameter and the second parameter are set to a sufficient value for a total number of scheduling request transmissions both for the primary cell and for the secondary cell.
