Abstract

A base station transmits, to a wireless device, configuration parameters of a secondary physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group. The configuration parameters include a PUCCH secondary cell and a secondary cell. The base station transmits, during a first time interval, a command activating the secondary cell. The base station starts reception of channel state information, from the wireless device, for the secondary cell from a second time interval that is a positive number plus a pre-determined number of time intervals after the first time interval. In response to activation of the PUCCH secondary cell being completed in or after the pre-determined number of time intervals after the first time interval, the positive number is based on when the activation of the PUCCH secondary cell is completed by the wireless device.

Claims (48)

1. A base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

transmit, to a wireless device, configuration parameters of a secondary physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group comprising:

a PUCCH secondary cell; and

a secondary cell;

transmit, during a first time interval, a command activating the secondary cell; and

start reception of channel state information, from the wireless device, for the secondary cell from a second time interval that is a positive number plus a pre-determined number of time intervals after the first time interval,

wherein, in response to activation of the PUCCH secondary cell being completed in or after the pre-determined number of time intervals after the first time interval, the positive number is based on when the activation of the PUCCH secondary cell is completed by the wireless device.

2. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the activation of the PUCCH secondary cell is completed in or after the pre-determined number of time intervals after the first time interval.

3. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station to:

transmit, to the wireless device, second configuration parameters of a primary PUCCH group comprising:

a primary cell with a primary PUCCH; and

a second secondary cell; and

start reception of channel state information, from the wireless device, for the second secondary cell from a third time interval that is the pre-determined number of time intervals after the first time interval,

wherein the command further indicates activation of the second secondary cell.

4. The base station of claim 3 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station to start a deactivation timer associated with the secondary cell in the third time interval.

5. The base station of claim 4 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station to start a second deactivation timer associated with the second secondary cell in the third time interval.

6. The base station of claim 3 , wherein the channel state information for the second secondary cell comprises an out of range channel quality index (CQI) in response to valid channel state information with a CQI different from zero being unavailable.

7. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station to receive the channel state information in an uplink resource after the second time interval if there are no uplink resources for reporting the channel state information in the second time interval.

8. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station to start reception of channel state information, from the wireless device, of an activated cell in the secondary PUCCH group from the second time interval.

9. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the channel state information comprises an out of range channel quality index (CQI) in response to valid channel state information with a CQI different from zero being unavailable.

10. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the command comprises a medium-access-control control element with a bitmap.

11. A base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

transmit, to a wireless device, configuration parameters of cells grouped in:

a secondary physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group comprising:

a PUCCH secondary cell with a secondary PUCCH; and

a first secondary cell; and

a primary PUCCH group comprising:

a primary cell with a primary PUCCH; and

a second secondary cell;

transmit, during a first time interval, a command indicating activation of the first secondary cell and the second secondary cell;

start reception of channel state information, from the wireless device, of the second secondary cell from a second time interval that is pre-determined number of time intervals after the first time interval; and

start reception of channel state information, from the wireless device, of the first secondary cell from a third time interval that is a positive number plus the pre-determined number of time intervals after the first time interval,

wherein, in response to activation of the PUCCH secondary cell being completed in or after the pre-determined number of time intervals after the first time interval, the positive number is based on when the activation of the PUCCH secondary cell is completed by the wireless device.

12. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the activation of the PUCCH secondary cell is completed in or after the pre-determined number of time intervals after the first time interval.

13. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station to:

start a first deactivation timer associated with the first secondary cell in the third time interval; and

start a second deactivation timer associated with the second secondary cell in the second time interval.

14. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station to start a deactivation timer associated with the PUCCH secondary cell in the pre-determined number of time intervals after the first time interval.

15. The base station of claim 14 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station to start a second deactivation timer associated with the second secondary cell in the second time interval.

16. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the channel state information for the second secondary cell comprises an out of range channel quality index (CQI) in response to valid channel state information with a CQI different from zero being unavailable.

17. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station to receive the channel state information in an uplink resource after the second time interval if there are no uplink resources for reporting the channel state information in the second time interval.

18. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station to start reception of channel state information, from the wireless device, of an activated cell in the secondary PUCCH group from the second time interval.

19. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the channel state information comprises an out of range channel quality index (CQI) in response to valid channel state information with a CQI different from zero being unavailable.

20. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the command comprises a medium-access-control control element with a bitmap.
