Abstract

A user equipment (UE) is configured for wireless communication. The UE comprises a receiver configured to receive radio resource control (RRC) signaling information. The RRC signaling information comprises configuration information for a target cell of a set of cells. The receiver is further configured to receive a downlink control information (DCI). Whether the DCI comprises target domain information for the target cell is based on a number of cells in the set of cells. The receiver is further configured to receive information from at least one cell included in the set of cells, based on the DCI. The DCI comprises the target domain information on a condition that the number of cells in the set of cells is one and the configuration information of the RRC signaling information indicates that the DCI comprises the target domain information.

36 . The UE of claim 29 further comprising a transmitter, wherein:

the transmitter is configured to send a second message;

wherein a second parameter is used to determine transmit power control (TPC) commands;

wherein on a condition that the number of cells in the set of cells is one and the configuration information of the RRC signaling information indicates that the DCI comprises the target domain information, the DCI comprises the target domain information, and wherein the second parameter is related to the target domain information included in the DCI; and

wherein on a condition that the number of cells in the set of cells is greater than one or the configuration information of the RRC signaling information indicates that the DCI does not comprise the target domain information, the second parameter is set to default information.

37 . The UE of claim 29 , further comprising a transmitter, wherein:

the transmitter is configured to send a third message;

wherein a third parameter is used to determine a cell in which a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) occupied by the third message is located;

wherein on a condition that the number of cells in the set of cells is one and the configuration information of the RRC signaling information indicates that the DCI comprises the target domain information, the DCI comprises the target domain information, and wherein the third parameter is related to the target domain information included in the DCI; and

wherein on a condition that the number of cells in the set of cells is greater than one or the configuration information of the RRC signaling information indicates that the DCI does not comprise the target domain information, the third parameter is set to default information.

38 . The UE of claim 29 , wherein on a condition that the number of cells included in the set of cells is one and the configuration information of the RRC signaling information indicates that the target domain information included in the DCI comprises a second domain information, the target domain information included in the DCI comprises the second domain information, wherein the second domain information is used to determine that cells included in a second set of cells enter dormancy within an active time; and wherein on a condition that the number of cells included in the set of cells is greater than one or the configuration information of the RRC signaling information indicates that the DCI does not comprise the second domain information, the target domain information included in the DCI does not include the second domain information, and the DCI is not used for a serving cell dormancy indication.

39 . A method for use in a user equipment (UE) configured for wireless communication, the method comprising:
