US 10,321,442 B2 · Method for configuring an activated SCell with PUCCH resource in a carrier aggregation system and a device therefor

Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device for configuring an activated SCell with PUCCH resource in a carrier aggregation system, the method comprising: configuring with a Secondary Cell (SCell); receiving a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling indicating that Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource is configured for the SCell; configuring the PUCCH resource with the SCell according to the RRC signaling; and disabling a SCell deactivation timer associated with the SCell if the SCell deactivation timer associated with the SCell is running when the RRC signaling is received.

Dependent claims

A method for disabling a Secondary cell (SCell) deactivation timer related to an SCell in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a User Equipment (UE) and comprising:

receiving Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling including information that a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) is configured for the SCell;
configuring the PUCCH based on the received RRC signaling;
disabling the SCell deactivation timer if the SCell deactivation timer is running when the RRC signaling is received;
and
activating the SCell if the SCell deactivation timer is not running when the RRC signaling is received.
