Switching of transmission between cell groups

1. A method performed by a wireless device configured to communicate on a first carrier with a first cell that is part of a first cell group and on a second carrier with a second cell that is part of a second cell group, the method comprising:

determining a timing value, the timing value being associated with one or both of the first cell and second cell, the timing value being based on an indication from the first cell and a maximum of:

a radio frequency switching time of the wireless device; and

a function of at least one of the RF switching time of the wireless device, a first timing advance of the first cell group and a second timing advance of the second cell group;

receiving a first message configured to cause the wireless device to switch from a first transmission on the first carrier of the first cell to a second transmission on the second carrier of the second cell based at least in part on the determined timing value associated with the second cell;

stopping the first transmission in the first cell on the first carrier; and

switching to perform the second transmission in the second cell on the second carrier after a time period corresponding to the timing value, the stopping of the first transmission in the first cell and the performing of the second transmission in the second cell corresponding to an interruption of downlink signals from the first cell or the second cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining whether a predefined rule is met, the stopping of the first transmission in the first cell and the performing of the second transmission in the second cell being in response to the predefined rule being met, wherein the predefined rule is based on one of a numerology of a signal and predefined time period.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the timing value is based at least in part on one or more of:

an error due to one of reception and transmission at the wireless device; and

an autonomous timing adjustment delay of the wireless device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first cell and the second cell are provided by a network node.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first cell is associated with a first radio access technology, RAT, and the second cell is associated with a second RAT different from the first RAT.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second cell group is different from the first cell group.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further includes one or both of:

receiving a second message from the first cell, the received second message including the indication, the indication indicating to the wireless device to apply at least a portion of a delay in transmission to at least one of an uplink transmission in the first cell and an uplink transmission in the second cell, the delay corresponding to the timing value; and

switching to perform the second transmission in the second cell on the second carrier after the time period corresponding to the timing value, in response to the second message from the first cell.

8. A wireless device configured to communicate on a first carrier with a first cell that is part of a first cell group and on a second carrier with a second cell that is part of a second cell group, the wireless device comprising:

processing circuitry configured to:

determine a timing value, the timing value being associated with one or both of the first cell and second cell, the timing value being based on an indication from the first cell and a maximum of:

a radio frequency switching time of the wireless device; and

a function of at least one of the RF switching time of the wireless device, a first timing advance of the first cell group and a second timing advance of the second cell group;

receiving a first message configured to cause the wireless device to switch from a first transmission on the first carrier of the first cell to a second transmission on the second carrier of the second cell based at least in part on the determined timing value associated with the second cell;

stop the first transmission in the first cell on the first carrier; and

switch to perform the second transmission in the second cell on the second carrier after a time period corresponding to the timing value, the stopping of the first transmission in the first cell and the performing of the second transmission in the second cell corresponding to an interruption of downlink signals from the first cell or the second cell.

9. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to determine whether a predefined rule is met, the stopping of the first transmission in the first cell and the performing of the second transmission in the second cell being in response to the predefined rule being met, wherein the predefined rule is based on one of a numerology of a signal and predefined time period.

10. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the timing value is based at least in part on one or more of:

an error due to one of reception and transmission at the wireless device; and

an autonomous timing adjustment delay of the wireless device.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second cell group is different from the first cell group.

12. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to one or both of:
