Secondary cell modification mechanism
View Patent ↗A base station transmits, to a wireless device, at least one first message that comprises one or more parameters of cells. The cells comprise a secondary cell with no configured physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). The base station determines to reconfigure the secondary cell to a PUCCH secondary cell with a secondary PUCCH. In response to determining to reconfigure the secondary cell to a PUCCH secondary cell with a secondary PUCCH, the base station transmits at least one second message to: release the secondary cell for the wireless device; and add the PUCCH secondary cell for the wireless device. The base station receives from the wireless device channel state information via the PUCCH secondary cell.

transmitting, by a base station to a wireless device, at least one first message comprising one or more parameters of cells comprising a secondary cell with no configured physical uplink control channel (PUCCH);
determining, by the base station, to reconfigure the secondary cell to a PUCCH secondary cell with a secondary PUCCH;
in response to the determining, transmitting at least one second message to:
release the secondary cell for the wireless device; and
add the PUCCH secondary cell for the wireless device; and
receiving 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:
transmitting a third message causing the release of the PUCCH secondary cell in the wireless device; and
transmitting a fourth message causing configuration of the secondary cell with no PUCCH resources.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting a third message causing the release of the PUCCH secondary cell in the wireless device; and
transmitting a fourth message causing configuration of the secondary cell with PUCCH resources.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PUCCH secondary cell is deactivated when the PUCCH secondary cell is added to the wireless device.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cells are 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 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 base station comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to:
transmit, to a wireless device, at least one first message comprising one or more parameters of cells comprising a secondary cell with no configured physical uplink control channel (PUCCH);
determine to reconfigure the secondary cell to a PUCCH secondary cell with a secondary PUCCH;
in response to the base station determining to reconfigure the secondary cell to the PUCCH secondary cell with the secondary PUCCH, transmit at least one second message to:
release the secondary cell for the wireless device; and
add the PUCCH secondary cell for the wireless device; and
receive channel state information via the PUCCH secondary cell.
9. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the one or more parameters comprise:
a plurality of common parameters; and
a plurality of dedicated parameters.
10. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the base station to:
transmit a third message causing the release of the PUCCH secondary cell in the wireless device; and
transmit a fourth message causing configuration of the secondary cell with no PUCCH resources.
11. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the base station to:
transmit a third message causing the release of the PUCCH secondary cell in the wireless device; and
transmit a fourth message causing configuration of the secondary cell with PUCCH resources.
12. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the PUCCH secondary cell is deactivated when the PUCCH secondary cell is added to the wireless device.
13. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the channel state information comprises a precoding matrix indicator, a rank indicator, and a channel quality indicator.
14. A method comprising:
receiving, by a wireless device from a base station, at least one first message comprising one or more parameters of cells comprising a secondary cell with no configured physical uplink control channel (PUCCH);
receiving at least one second message comprising parameters for reconfiguring the secondary cell to a PUCCH secondary cell with a secondary PUCCH;
releasing, by the wireless device, the secondary cell in response to the at least one second message;
adding, by the wireless device and after the releasing, the PUCCH secondary cell with the secondary PUCCH; and
transmitting channel state information via the PUCCH secondary cell.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the one or more parameters comprise:
a plurality of common parameters; and
a plurality of dedicated parameters.
16. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
receiving a third message causing the release of the PUCCH secondary cell in the wireless device; and
receiving a fourth message causing configuration of the secondary cell with no PUCCH resources.
17. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
receiving a third message causing the release of the PUCCH secondary cell in the wireless device; and
receiving a fourth message causing configuration of the secondary cell with PUCCH resources.
18. The method of claim 14 , wherein the PUCCH secondary cell is deactivated when the PUCCH secondary cell is added.
19. The method of claim 14 , wherein the cells are 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 the PUCCH secondary cell with the secondary PUCCH transmitted to the base station.
20. The method of claim 14 , wherein the channel state information comprises a precoding matrix indicator, a rank indicator, and a channel quality indicator.
