First and second unlicensed cells jointly serving as reference cells
A wireless device receives configuration parameters of licensed primary cell(s) of a primary TAG; and a first and a second unlicensed secondary cells, of a secondary TAG. Both the first and second unlicensed secondary cells are selected to jointly serve as reference cells for pathloss measurement of the second unlicensed secondary cell. The selection is based on the first and second unlicensed secondary cells being activated unlicensed secondary cells; and in a same secondary TAG. A measurement is made of a pathloss reference value for the second unlicensed secondary cell based on: a received signal power of the first unlicensed secondary cell; and a received signal power of the second unlicensed secondary cell. A determination is made whether a channel associated with the second unlicensed secondary cell is clear. Uplink transport blocks with a transmission power calculated employing the pathloss reference value is transmitted via the second unlicensed secondary cell.
