Abstract

A wireless device receives one or more messages comprising configuration parameters for a plurality of cells comprising a secondary cell. A deactivation timer may be disabled for the secondary cell in response to the configuration parameters comprising periodic resource allocation configuration parameters for configuring a periodic resource allocation of the secondary cell. A downlink control information (DCI) indicating activation of the periodic resource allocation may be received. The DCI may comprise a radio resource assignment. One or more transport blocks (TBs) employing the radio resource assignment may be transmitted.

Claims (53)

1 . A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, configuration parameters for:

a periodicity for a downlink assignment; and

a deactivation timer for a secondary cell;

receiving downlink control information (DCI) indicating activation of the downlink assignment, wherein the DCI comprises a radio resource assignment for the downlink assignment;

receiving, using the radio resource assignment and during a first transmission time interval associated with the periodicity, one or more transport blocks; and

restarting, based on the receiving the one or more transport blocks, the deactivation timer for the secondary cell.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a command indicating activation of the secondary cell.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the command comprises a media access control (MAC) control element (CE).

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a plurality of periodic resources, wherein a resource of the plurality of periodic resources is determined based on the periodicity.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the resource of the plurality of periodic resources is further determined based on a time of an initial resource of the plurality of periodic resources.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the restarting of the deactivation timer is further based on receiving DCI indicating a second downlink assignment.

7 . A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

receive configuration parameters for:

a periodicity for a downlink assignment; and

a deactivation timer for a secondary cell;

receive downlink control information (DCI) indicating activation of the downlink assignment, wherein the DCI comprises a radio resource assignment for the downlink assignment;

receive, using the radio resource assignment and during a first transmission time interval associated with the periodicity, one or more transport blocks; and

restart, based on the receiving the one or more transport blocks, the deactivation timer for the secondary cell.

8 . The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the wireless device to receive a command indicating activation of the secondary cell.

9 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the command comprises a media access control (MAC) control element (CE).

10 . The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the wireless device to determine a plurality of periodic resources, wherein a resource of the plurality of periodic resources is determined based on the periodicity.

11 . The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the resource of the plurality of periodic resources is further determined based on a time of an initial resource of the plurality of periodic resources.

12 . The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the wireless device to restart the deactivation timer based on receiving DCI indicating a second downlink assignment.

13 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, configure a wireless device to:

receive configuration parameters for:

a periodicity for a downlink assignment; and

a deactivation timer for a secondary cell;

receive downlink control information (DCI) indicating activation of the downlink assignment, wherein the DCI comprises a radio resource assignment for the downlink assignment;

receive, using the radio resource assignment and during a first transmission time interval associated with the periodicity, one or more transport blocks; and

restart, based on the receiving the one or more transport blocks, the deactivation timer for the secondary cell.

14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the wireless device to receive a command indicating activation of the secondary cell.

15 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 wherein the command comprises a media access control (MAC) control element (CE).

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the wireless device to determine a plurality of periodic resources, wherein a resource of the plurality of periodic resources is determined based on the periodicity.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the resource of the plurality of periodic resources is further determined based on a time of an initial resource of the plurality of periodic resources.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the wireless device to restart the deactivation timer based on receiving DCI indicating a second downlink assignment.

19 . A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, configuration parameters for:

a periodicity for a configured uplink grant; and

a deactivation timer for a secondary cell;

receiving downlink control information (DCI) indicating activation of the configured uplink grant, wherein the DCI comprises a radio resource assignment for the configured uplink grant;

transmitting, using the radio resource assignment and during a first transmission time interval associated with the periodicity, one or more transport blocks; and

restarting, based on the transmitting the one or more transport blocks, the deactivation timer for the secondary cell.

20 . The method of claim 19 , further comprising receiving a command indicating activation of the secondary cell.

21 . The method of claim 20 , wherein the command comprises a media access control (MAC) control element (CE).

22 . The method of claim 19 , further comprising determining a plurality of periodic resources, wherein a resource of the plurality of periodic resources is determined based on the periodicity.

23 . The method of claim 22 , wherein the resource of the plurality of periodic resources is further determined based on a time of an initial resource of the plurality of periodic resources.

24 . The method of claim 19 , further comprising stopping, based on the configured uplink grant being released, the deactivation timer.

25 . The method of claim 24 , wherein the stopping the deactivation timer is based on the configured uplink grant being released explicitly.

26 . The method of claim 24 , wherein the stopping the deactivation timer is based on the configured uplink grant being released implicitly.

27 . The method of claim 19 , wherein the restarting of the deactivation timer is further based on receiving DCI indicating a grant.
