Abstract

A wireless device receives one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters. The configuration parameters indicate a first secondary cell (SCell) group comprising one or more first cells and a second SCell group comprising a plurality of second cells. The wireless device activates, in a non-dormant state, the one or more first cells and the plurality of second cells. In response to receiving a downlink control information indicating transitioning the first SCell group to a dormant state, the wireless device transitions the one or more first cells to the dormant state and maintains the plurality of second cells in the non-dormant state.

Claims (55)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters indicating:

a first secondary cell (SCell) group comprising one or more first cells; and

a second SCell group comprising a plurality of second cells;

activating, to a non-dormant state, the one or more first cells and the plurality of second cells; and

in response to receiving a downlink control information indicating transitioning the first SCell group to a dormant state:

transitioning the one or more first cells to the dormant state; and

maintaining the plurality of second cells in the non-dormant state.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein transitioning a cell to the dormant state comprises transitioning from a non-dormant BWP of the cell to a dormant BWP of the cell as an active BWP.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the non-dormant BWP of the cell is different from the dormant BWP of the cell.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein an active BWP of a cell in the non-dormant state is a non-dormant BWP.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more first cells and the plurality of second cells are activated serving cells of the wireless device.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising stopping monitoring for a DCI on a first cell in the dormant state, wherein the first cell is one of the one or more first cells or one of the plurality of second cells.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

performing channel state information (CSI) measurements for CSI feedback of the first cell in the dormant state; and

performing a L1 reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement for beam management of the first cell in the dormant state.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising maintaining, in the non-dormant state, a primary cell, a special primary cell, or a PUCCH cell.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein a cell, of the one or more first cells or the plurality of second cells, is activated in the dormant state, wherein a first active BWP configured for the cell is a dormant BWP of the cell.

10. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

receive, by a wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters indicating:

a first secondary cell (SCell) group comprising one or more first cells; and

a second SCell group comprising a plurality of second cells;

activate, to a non-dormant state, the one or more first cells and the plurality of second cells; and

in response to receiving a downlink control information indicating transitioning the first SCell group to a dormant state:

transition the one or more first cells to the dormant state; and

maintain the plurality of second cells in the non-dormant state.

11. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein transitioning a cell to the dormant state comprises transitioning from a non-dormant BWP of the cell to a dormant BWP of the cell as an active BWP.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the non-dormant BWP of the cell is different from the dormant BWP of the cell.

13. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein an active BWP of a cell in the non-dormant state is a non-dormant BWP.

14. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more first cells and the plurality of second cells are activated serving cells of the wireless device.

15. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to stop monitoring for a DCI on a first cell in the dormant state, wherein the first is one of the one or more first cells or one of the plurality of second cells.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to:

perform channel state information (CSI) measurements for CSI feedback of the first cell in the dormant state; and

perform a L1 reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement for beam management of the first cell in the dormant state.

17. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to maintain, in the non-dormant state, a primary cell, a special primary cell, or a PUCCH cell.

18. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein a cell, of the one or more first cells or the plurality of second cells, is activated in the dormant state, wherein a first active BWP configured for the cell is a dormant BWP of the cell.

19. A system comprising:

a wireless device comprising:

one or more first processors; and

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

receive one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters indicating:

a first secondary cell (SCell) group comprising one or more first cells; and

a second SCell group comprising a plurality of second cells;

activate, to a non-dormant state, the one or more first cells and the plurality of second cells; and

in response to receiving a downlink control information indicating transitioning the first SCell group to a dormant state:

transition the one or more first cells to the dormant state; and

maintain the plurality of second cells in the non-dormant state; and

a base station comprising:

one or more second processors; and

a second memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the base station to transmit to the wireless device:

the one or more RRC messages; and

the downlink control information.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein transitioning a cell to the dormant state comprises transitioning from a non-dormant BWP of the cell to a dormant BWP of the cell as an active BWP.
