Abstract

A wireless device receives configuration parameters of a primary cell and a secondary cell. The secondary cell may be a scheduling cell for the primary cell. The secondary cell may be deactivated. The wireless device may monitor one or more first search spaces of the primary cell for receiving downlink control information associated with scheduling of the primary cell. The wireless device may receive a command indicating activation of the secondary cell. The secondary cell may be activated in response to receiving the command. The wireless device may monitor one or more second search spaces of the secondary cell for receiving downlink control information associated with scheduling of the primary cell.

Claims (47)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, configuration parameters of a primary cell and a secondary cell, wherein the secondary cell is a scheduling cell for the primary cell;

monitoring one or more first search spaces of the primary cell for receiving downlink control information associated with scheduling of the primary cell, wherein:

the secondary cell is deactivated; and

channel state information for the secondary cell is not reported when the secondary cell is deactivated;

receiving a command indicating activation of the secondary cell; and

monitoring one or more second search spaces of the secondary cell for receiving downlink control information associated with scheduling of the primary cell, wherein the secondary cell is activated in response to receiving the command.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters comprise a first parameter indicating that the secondary cell is the scheduling cell for the primary cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the command is based on an activation deactivation medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) comprising a field associated with the secondary cell; and

a value of the field indicates activation of the secondary cell.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more first search spaces and the one or more second search spaces are wireless device specific search spaces.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the primary cell is based on a dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) carrier.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the DSS carrier is shared between a first radio access technology and a second radio access technology.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the monitoring the one or more first search spaces of the primary cell, for receiving downlink control information associated with scheduling of the primary cell, is based on the secondary cell being deactivated.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the monitoring the one or more second search spaces of the secondary cell, for receiving downlink control information associated with scheduling of the primary cell, is based on the secondary cell being activated.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters comprise first configuration parameters of the one or more first search spaces, of the primary cell, and the one or more second search spaces of the secondary cell.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, based on the monitoring the one or more first search spaces of the primary cell, a first downlink control information comprising first scheduling information of a first transport block;

receiving or transmitting the first transport block via the primary cell based on the first scheduling information;

receiving, based on the monitoring the one or more second search spaces of the secondary cell, a second downlink control information comprising second scheduling information of a second transport block; and

receiving or transmitting the second transport block via the primary cell based on the second scheduling information.

11. 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 configuration parameters of a primary cell and a secondary cell, wherein the secondary cell is a scheduling cell for the primary cell;

monitor one or more first search spaces of the primary cell for receiving downlink control information associated with scheduling of the primary cell,

wherein:

the secondary cell is deactivated; and

channel state information for the secondary cell is not reported when the secondary cell is deactivated;

receive a command indicating activation of the secondary cell; and

monitor one or more second search spaces of the secondary cell for receiving downlink control information associated with scheduling of the primary cell, wherein the secondary cell is activated in response to receiving the command.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the configuration parameters comprise a first parameter indicating that the secondary cell is the scheduling cell for the primary cell.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein:

the command is based on an activation deactivation medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) comprising a field associated with the secondary cell; and

a value of the field indicates activation of the secondary cell.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more first search spaces and the one or more second search spaces are wireless device specific search spaces.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the primary cell is based on a dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) carrier.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the DSS carrier is shared between a first radio access technology and a second radio access technology.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein monitoring the one or more first search spaces of the primary cell, for receiving downlink control information associated with scheduling of the primary cell, is based on the secondary cell being deactivated.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein monitoring the one or more second search spaces of the secondary cell, for receiving downlink control information associated with scheduling of the primary cell, is based on the secondary cell being activated.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the configuration parameters comprise first configuration parameters of the one or more first search spaces, of the primary cell, and the one or more second search spaces of the secondary cell.

20. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to:

receive, based on monitoring the one or more first search spaces of the primary cell, a first downlink control information comprising first scheduling information of a first transport block;

receive or transmit the first transport block via the primary cell based on the first scheduling information;

receive, based on monitoring the one or more second search spaces of the secondary cell, a second downlink control information comprising second scheduling information of a second transport block; and

receive or transmit the second transport block via the primary cell based on the second scheduling information.
