Abstract

A wireless device receives a configuration of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group. The PUCCH group comprises a PUCCH secondary cell with a secondary PUCCH and a secondary cell. A command indicating deactivation of the PUCCH secondary cell is received in a first subframe. In response to the deactivation of the PUCCH secondary cell, transmission of channel state information for the secondary cell in a second subframe that is eight subframes after the first subframe is stopped. Thee stopping does not occur before the second subframe.

Claims (33)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, a configuration of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group comprising:

a first secondary cell with a secondary PUCCH; and

a second secondary cell;

receiving, in a first subframe, a media access control (MAC) command comprising a bitmap indicating deactivation of the first secondary cell; and

stopping, in response to the deactivation of the first secondary cell, transmission of channel state information for the second secondary cell in a second subframe that is eight subframes after the first subframe, wherein the stopping does not occur before the second subframe.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the configuration comprises receiving configurations of PUCCH groups comprising:

a primary PUCCH group comprising a primary cell with a primary PUCCH; and

a secondary PUCCH group.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising stopping a monitoring of a downlink control channel of the second secondary cell on or before the second subframe that is eight subframes after the first subframe.

4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising stopping a deactivation timer associated with the second secondary cell on or before the second subframe that is eight subframes after the first subframe.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising stopping a monitoring of a downlink control channel of the second secondary cell on or before the second subframe that is eight subframes after the first subframe.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising stopping a deactivation timer associated with the second secondary cell on or before the second subframe that is eight subframes after the first subframe.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration comprises dedicated parameters comprising a deactivation timer parameter.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MAC command further indicates a deactivation of the second secondary cell.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising stopping uplink transmission on the second secondary cell before stopping uplink transmission on the first PUCCH secondary cell.

10. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, a configuration of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group comprising:

a first secondary cell with a secondary PUCCH; and

a second secondary cell;

receiving, in a first subframe, a media access control (MAC) command comprising a bitmap indicating deactivation of the first secondary cell and the second secondary cell;

stopping uplink transmission via the first secondary cell on, and not before, a second subframe that is eight subframes after the first subframe; and

stopping uplink transmission via the second secondary cell before the second subframe that is eight subframes after the first subframe.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the receiving the configuration comprises receiving configurations of PUCCH groups comprising:

a primary PUCCH group comprising a primary cell with a primary PUCCH; and

a secondary PUCCH group.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising stopping a monitoring of a downlink control channel of the second secondary cell on or before the second subframe that is eight subframes after the first subframe.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising stopping a deactivation timer associated with the second secondary cell on or before the second subframe that is eight subframes after the first subframe.

14. The method of claim 10 , further comprising stopping a monitoring of a downlink control channel of the second secondary cell on or before the second subframe that is eight subframes after the first subframe.

15. The method of claim 10 , further comprising stopping a deactivation timer associated with the second secondary cell on or before the second subframe that is eight subframes after the first subframe.

16. The method of claim 10 , wherein the configuration comprises dedicated parameters comprising a deactivation timer parameter.

17. The method of claim 10 , wherein the stopping uplink transmission via the second secondary cell is before the stopping uplink transmission via the first secondary cell.

18. The method of claim 10 , wherein a deactivation timer of the first secondary cell is disabled.
