Deactivating or releasing a secondary cell in response to a radio link issue

1. A base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

transmit parameters of cells grouped into physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) groups comprising:

a primary PUCCH group, and

a secondary PUCCH group comprising:

a PUCCH secondary cell with a secondary PUCCH, and

a secondary cell,

detect a radio link issue with the PUCCH secondary cell in the secondary PUCCH group, and

transmit at least one command to deactivate the secondary cell in the secondary PUCCH group in response to the radio link issue with the PUCCH secondary cell in the secondary PUCCH group.

2. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the at least one command is further configured to deactivate the PUCCH secondary cell.

3. The base station of claim 1 , wherein one or more other secondary cells of the secondary PUCCH group have an acceptable radio link quality.

4. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the detection of the radio link issue is based at least on one of:

detection of a loss of PUCCH secondary cell signals

detection of a loss of synchronization with the PUCCH secondary cell signals, and

measurement of an error rate on the PUCCH secondary cell above a second value.

5. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the detection of the radio link issue is based at least on one of:

measurement of an interference on the PUCCH secondary cell above a second value,

reception of a channel quality indicator feedback indicating a signal quality on the PUCCH secondary cell lower than a third value; and

reception of measurement reports indicating a signal quality on the PUCCH secondary cell lower than a fourth value.

6. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the detection of the radio link issue occurs when the base station receives another message from a wireless device.

7. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the at least one command comprises a bitmap indicating deactivation of one or more other secondary cells of the secondary PUCCH group.

8. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the command is a media access control (MAC) command.

9. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the radio link issue is based on measuring a signal quality of the PUCCH secondary cell.

10. A base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

transmit, by a base station, parameters of cells grouped into physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) groups comprising:

a primary PUCCH group, and

a secondary PUCCH group comprising:

a PUCCH secondary cell with a secondary PUCCH, and

a secondary cell,

detect a radio link issue with the PUCCH secondary cell in the secondary PUCCH group, and

transmit a message to release the secondary cell in the secondary PUCCH group in response to the radio link issue with the PUCCH secondary cell in the secondary PUCCH group.

11. The base station of claim 10 , wherein at least one second message is further configured to release the PUCCH secondary cell.

12. The base station of claim 10 , wherein one or more other secondary cells of the secondary PUCCH group have an acceptable radio link quality.

13. The base station of claim 10 , wherein the detection of the radio link issue is based at least on one of the following:

detection of a loss of PUCCH secondary cell signals,

detection of a loss of synchronization with the PUCCH secondary cell signals, and

measurement of an error rate on the PUCCH secondary cell above a first value.

14. The base station of claim 10 , wherein the detection of the radio link issue is based at least on one of the following:

measurement of an interference on the PUCCH secondary cell above a second value,

reception of a channel quality indicator feedback indicating a signal quality on the PUCCH secondary cell lower than a third value, and

reception of measurement reports indicating a signal quality on the PUCCH secondary cell lower than a fourth value.

15. The base station of claim 10 , wherein the detection of the radio link issue occurs in response to the base station receiving another message from a wireless device.

16. The base station of claim 10 , wherein the transmission of the message comprises at least one cell index of the secondary cell.

17. The base station of claim 10 , wherein the primary PUCCH group comprises a primary cell with a primary PUCCH received by the base station.

18. A system comprising:

a base station 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 base station to:

transmit parameters of cells grouped into physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) groups comprising:

a primary PUCCH group, and

a secondary PUCCH group comprising:

a PUCCH secondary cell with a secondary PUCCH, and

a secondary cell

detect a radio link issue with the PUCCH secondary cell in the secondary PUCCH group, and

transmit at least one command to deactivate the secondary cell in the secondary PUCCH group in response to the radio link issue with the PUCCH secondary cell in the secondary PUCCH group; and

a wireless device comprising:

one or more second processors, and

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

receive the parameters, and

receive the at least one command.
