Abstract

A base station central unit transmits, to a wireless device via a base station distributed unit, configuration parameters of the wireless device. The base station central unit receives, from the wireless device via the base station distributed unit, a confirmation of at least one of the configuration parameters. The base station central unit transmits, to the base station distributed unit, an indication that the wireless device successfully performed a reconfiguration procedure based on the configuration parameters. The base station central unit communicates, with the wireless device via the base station distributed unit, based on the configuration parameters.

Claims (56)

1. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a base station central unit to a wireless device via a base station distributed unit, configuration parameters of the wireless device;

receiving, by the base station central unit from the wireless device via the base station distributed unit, a confirmation of at least one of the configuration parameters; and

transmitting, by the base station central unit to the base station distributed unit, a reconfiguration complete indicator information element (IE) indicating that the wireless device successfully performed a reconfiguration procedure based on the configuration parameters, wherein no message is sent by the base station distributed unit to respond to the reconfiguration complete indicator IE.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters comprise a secondary cell addition indication of a secondary cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters comprise at least one of:

a secondary cell release indication of a secondary cell;

periodic resource scheduling information of periodic resources of a cell;

a transmission power configuration parameter; or

a random access configuration parameter.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the base station central unit from the base station distributed unit, second configuration parameters based on the configuration parameters of the wireless device.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising transmitting, by the base station central unit to the base station distributed unit, an indication that the wireless device successfully performed a reconfiguration procedure based on the second configuration parameters.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising communicating, by the base station central unit with the wireless device via the base station distributed unit, based on the second configuration parameters.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second configuration parameters comprise a secondary cell addition indication of a secondary cell.

8. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second configuration parameters comprise a secondary cell modification indication of a secondary cell.

9. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second configuration parameters comprise at least one of:

a secondary cell release indication of a secondary cell;

periodic resource scheduling information of periodic resources of a cell;

a transmission power configuration parameter;

a sidelink configuration parameter; or

a random access configuration parameter.

10. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second configuration parameters comprise periodic resource scheduling information of periodic resources of a cell, the periodic resource scheduling information comprising at least one of:

a periodicity configuration parameter;

a frequency configuration parameter; or

a numerology indication parameter.

11. A base station central unit comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

transmit, to a wireless device via a base station distributed unit, configuration parameters of the wireless device;

receive, from the wireless device via the base station distributed unit, a confirmation of at least one of the configuration parameters; and

transmit, to the base station distributed unit a reconfiguration complete indicator information element (IE) indicating that the wireless device successfully performed a reconfiguration procedure based on the configuration parameters, wherein no message is sent by the base station distributed unit to respond to the reconfiguration complete indicator IE.

12. The base station central unit of claim 11 , wherein the configuration parameters comprise a secondary cell addition indication of a secondary cell.

13. The base station central unit of claim 11 , wherein the configuration parameters comprise at least one of:

a secondary cell release indication of a secondary cell;

periodic resource scheduling information of periodic resources of a cell;

a transmission power configuration parameter; or

a random access configuration parameter.

14. The base station central unit of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station central unit to receive, from the base station distributed unit, second configuration parameters based on the configuration parameters of the wireless device.

15. The base station central unit of claim 14 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station central unit to transmit, to the base station distributed unit, an indication that the wireless device successfully performed a reconfiguration procedure based on the second configuration parameters.

16. The base station central unit of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station central unit to communicate, with the wireless device via the base station distributed unit, based on the second configuration parameters.

17. The base station central unit of claim 14 , wherein the second configuration parameters comprise a secondary cell addition indication of a secondary cell.

18. The base station central unit of claim 14 , wherein the second configuration parameters comprise a secondary cell modification indication of a secondary cell.

19. The base station central unit of claim 14 , wherein the second configuration parameters comprise at least one of:

a secondary cell release indication of a secondary cell;

periodic resource scheduling information of periodic resources of a cell;

a transmission power configuration parameter;

a sidelink configuration parameter; or

a random access configuration parameter.

20. A system comprising:

a base station distributed unit; and

a base station central unit comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

transmit, to a wireless device via the base station distributed unit, configuration parameters of the wireless device;

receive, from the wireless device via the base station distributed unit, a confirmation of at least one of the configuration parameters; and

transmit, to the base station distributed unit, a reconfiguration complete indicator information element (IE) indicating that the wireless device successfully performed a reconfiguration procedure based on the configuration parameters, wherein no message is sent by the base station distributed unit to respond to the reconfiguration complete indicator IE.
