Abstract

A base station transmits, to a wireless device, at least one message comprising configuration parameters of a plurality of cells. The plurality of cells comprise a primary cell and one or more secondary cells. The base station receives, from the wireless device, a power headroom report (PHR). The PHR comprises a Type 2 power headroom of the primary cell in response to a licensed assisted access cell, of the one or more secondary cells, having an uplink that is configured and activated.

Claims (30)

1. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a base station to a wireless device, at least one radio resource control RRC) message comprising configuration parameters of a primary cell and at least one licensed assisted access cell with an uplink;

transmitting, to the wireless device, a medium access control control element (MAC CE) activation/deactivation (A/D) command indicating activation of the at least one licensed assisted access cell; and

receiving, from the wireless device, a power headroom report (PHR), wherein the PHR comprises a Type 2 power headroom of the primary cell in response to the at least one licensed assisted access cell with the uplink being configured and activated.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PHR further comprises a Type 1 power headroom field for the primary cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one RRC message further comprises at least one parameter indicating that an extended PHR is configured.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the at least one RRC message further comprises a first information element indicating whether a simultaneous physical uplink control channel transmission and a physical uplink shared channel transmission are configured for the primary cell.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a Type 2 power headroom level for the Type 2 power headroom is determined based on:

a power of a physical uplink control channel; and

a power of a physical uplink shared channel.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein a Type 1 power headroom level for a Type 1 power headroom is determined based on the power of the physical uplink shared channel.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a Type 2 power headroom level for the Type 2 power headroom is determined based on a measurement of a pathloss reference.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PHR comprises the Type 2 power headroom in response to a simultaneous physical uplink control channel and a physical uplink shared channel being configured.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PHR comprises the Type 2 power headroom in response to a secondary cell comprising a physical uplink control channel secondary cell being configured and activated.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting channel state information of the at least one licensed assisted access cell via an uplink channel of the primary cell.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a base station, cause the base station to:

transmit, to a wireless device, at least one radio resource control (RRC) message comprising configuration parameters of a primary cell and at least one licensed assisted access cell with an uplink;

transmit, to the wireless device, a medium access control control element (MAC CE) activation/deactivation (A/D) command indicating activation of the at least one licensed assisted access cell; and

receive, from the wireless device, a power headroom report (PHR), wherein the PHR comprises a Type 2 power headroom of the primary cell in response to the at least one licensed assisted access cell with the uplink being configured and activated.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the PHR further comprises a Type 1 power headroom field for the primary cell.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the at least one RRC message further comprises at least one parameter indicating that an extended PHR is configured.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the at least one RRC message further comprises a first information element indicating whether a simultaneous physical uplink control channel transmission and a physical uplink shared channel transmission are configured for the primary cell.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein a Type 2 power headroom level for the Type 2 power headroom is determined based on:

a power of a physical uplink control channel; and

a power of a physical uplink shared channel.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein a Type 1 power headroom level for a Type 1 power headroom is determined based on the power of the physical uplink shared channel.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein a Type 2 power headroom level for the Type 2 power headroom is determined based on a measurement of a pathloss reference.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the PHR comprises the Type 2 power headroom in response to a simultaneous physical uplink control channel and a physical uplink shared channel being configured.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the PHR comprises the Type 2 power headroom in response to a secondary cell comprising a physical uplink control channel secondary cell being configured and activated.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to transmit channel state information of the at least one licensed assisted access cell via an uplink channel of the primary cell.
