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.
Claims32
A method comprising:
- receiving one or more messages comprising configuration parameters for:
- a plurality of cells comprising a secondary cell;
- a scheduling interval for periodic resource allocation;
- and
- a deactivation timer;
- receiving downlink control information (DCI) indicating activation of the periodic resource allocation, wherein the DCI comprises a radio resource assignment for the periodic resource allocation;
- transmitting, using the radio resource assignment and at a first time determined based on the scheduling interval, one or more packets;
- and
- starting or restarting, based on the secondary cell being active and based on the first time, the deactivation timer for the secondary cell.
A wireless device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:
- receive one or more messages comprising configuration parameters for:
- a plurality of cells comprising a secondary cell;
- a scheduling interval for periodic resource allocation;
- and
- a deactivation timer;
- receive downlink control information (DCI) indicating activation of the periodic resource allocation, wherein the DCI comprises a radio resource assignment for the periodic resource allocation;
- transmit, using the radio resource assignment and at a first time determined based on the scheduling interval, one or more packets;
- and
- start or restart, based on the secondary cell being active and based on the first time, the deactivation timer for the secondary cell.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, configure a wireless device to:
- receive one or more messages comprising configuration parameters for:
- a plurality of cells comprising a secondary cell;
- a scheduling interval for periodic resource allocation;
- and
- a deactivation timer;
- receive downlink control information (DCI) indicating activation of the periodic resource allocation, wherein the DCI comprises a radio resource assignment for the periodic resource allocation;
- transmit, using the radio resource assignment and at a first time determined based on the scheduling interval, one or more packets;
- and
- start or restart, based on the secondary cell being active and based on the first time, the deactivation timer for the secondary cell.
A system comprising:
- a wireless device;
- and
- a base station,
- wherein the base station is configured to:
- transmit one or more messages comprising configuration parameters for:
- a plurality of cells comprising a secondary cell;
- a scheduling interval for periodic resource allocation;
- and
- a deactivation timer;
- transmit downlink control information (DCI) indicating activation of the periodic resource allocation, wherein the DCI comprises a radio resource assignment for the periodic resource allocation, and
- wherein the wireless device is configured to:
- transmit, using the radio resource assignment and at a first time determined based on the scheduling interval, one or more packets;
- and
- start or restart, based on the secondary cell being active and based on the first time, the deactivation timer for the secondary cell.
