Abstract

A wireless device receives from a base station at least one first message that comprises one or more parameters of a plurality of cells. The plurality of cells comprise a secondary cell with no configured physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). The wireless device receives a first activation command indicating activation of the secondary cell. The wireless device receives at least one second message that comprises parameters for reconfiguring the secondary cell to a PUCCH secondary cell with a PUCCH on a condition of first releasing the secondary cell. The wireless device releases the secondary cell. The wireless device adds the PUCCH secondary cell with the PUCCH. The wireless device receives a second activation command indicating activation of the PUCCH secondary cell. The wireless device transmits to the base station channel state information via the PUCCH secondary cell.

Claims (67)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device from a base station, at least one first message comprising one or more parameters of a plurality of cells comprising a secondary cell with no configured physical uplink control channel (PUCCH);

receiving a first activation command indicating activation of the secondary cell;

receiving at least one second message comprising parameters for reconfiguring the secondary cell to a PUCCH secondary cell with a PUCCH on a condition of first releasing the secondary cell;

releasing, by the wireless device, the secondary cell;

adding, by the wireless device, the PUCCH secondary cell with the PUCCH;

receiving a second activation command indicating activation of the PUCCH secondary cell; and

transmitting, to the base station, channel state information via the PUCCH secondary cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters comprise:

a plurality of common parameters; and

a plurality of dedicated parameters.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a second message causing the release of the secondary cell in the wireless device, the secondary cell being the PUCCH secondary cell; and

receiving a third message causing configuration of the secondary cell with no PUCCH resources.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a second message causing the release of the secondary cell in the wireless device, the secondary cell having no PUCCH resources; and

receiving a third message causing configuration of the secondary cell with PUCCH resources.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the secondary cell is deactivated when it is added.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message comprising configuration parameters of a plurality of cells, the plurality of cells being 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 a base station; and

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

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the channel state information comprises a precoding matrix indicator, a rank indicator, and a channel quality indicator.

8. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a base station to a wireless device, at least one first message comprising one or more parameters of a plurality of cells comprising a secondary cell with no configured physical uplink control channel (PUCCH);

transmitting, to the wireless device, a first activation command indicating activation of the secondary cell;

transmitting, to the wireless device, at least one second message comprising parameters for reconfiguring the secondary cell to a PUCCH secondary cell with a PUCCH on a condition of first releasing the secondary cell for the wireless device;

releasing, by the base station, the secondary cell for the wireless device;

adding, by the base station, the PUCCH secondary cell with the PUCCH for the wireless device;

transmitting, by the base station, a second activation command indicating activation of the PUCCH secondary cell for the wireless device; and

receiving, by the base station, channel state information via the PUCCH secondary cell.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more parameters comprise:

a plurality of common parameters; and

a plurality of dedicated parameters.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

transmitting a second message causing the release of the secondary cell in the wireless device, the secondary cell being the PUCCH secondary cell; and

transmitting a third message causing configuration of the secondary cell with no PUCCH resources.

11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

transmitting a second message causing the release of the secondary cell in the wireless device, the secondary cell having no PUCCH resources; and

transmitting a third message causing configuration of the secondary cell with PUCCH resources.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the secondary cell is deactivated when it is added to the wireless device.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the message comprising configuration parameters of a plurality of cells, the plurality of cells being 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 a base station; and

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

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the channel state information comprises a precoding matrix indicator, a rank indicator, and a channel quality indicator.

15. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive, from a base station, at least one first message comprising one or more parameters of a plurality of cells comprising a secondary cell with no configured physical uplink control channel (PUCCH);

receive a first activation command indicating activation of the secondary cell;

receive at least one second message comprising parameters for reconfiguring the secondary cell to a PUCCH secondary cell with a PUCCH on a condition of first releasing the secondary cell;

release the secondary cell;

add the PUCCH secondary cell with the PUCCH;

receive a second activation command indicating activation of the PUCCH secondary cell; and

transmit, to the base station, channel state information via the PUCCH secondary cell.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the one or more parameters comprise:

a plurality of common parameters; and

a plurality of dedicated parameters.

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

receive a second message causing the release of the secondary cell in the wireless device, the secondary cell being the PUCCH secondary cell; and

receive a third message causing configuration of the secondary cell with no PUCCH resources.

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

receive a second message causing the release of the secondary cell in the wireless device, the secondary cell having no PUCCH resources; and

receive a third message causing configuration of the secondary cell with PUCCH resources.

19. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the secondary cell is deactivated when it is added.

20. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the message comprising configuration parameters of a plurality of cells, the plurality of cells being grouped into a plurality of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) groups comprising:
