Abstract
A method and an apparatus of controlling a secondary cell (SCell) are provided. The method of controlling the SCell for new radio carrier aggregation of a user equipment includes receiving at least one of downlink control information (DCI) and a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) from a network node, wherein the at least one of the DCI and the MAC CE indicates control a SCell, the method includes determining whether to apply or ignore the at least one of the DCI and the MAC CE, and controlling the SCell according to the determination.
Claims12
A user equipment of controlling a secondary cell (SCell), comprising:
- a memory;
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and the transceiver,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- control the transceiver to receive at least one of downlink control information (DCI) and a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) from a network node, wherein the at least one of the DCI and the MAC CE indicates control of a SCell;
- determine whether to apply or ignore the at least one of the DCI and the MAC CE;
- and
- control the SCell according to the determination, wherein
- in response to that the transceiver receives the DCI and the MAC CE simultaneously, the MAC CE indicating activation of the SCell, and the DCI indicating deactivation of the SCell, the processor is configured to ignore one of the DCI and the MAC CE, and apply the other one of the DCI and the MAC CE to control the SCell.
A method of controlling a secondary cell (SCell) of a user equipment, comprising:
- receiving at least one of downlink control information (DCI) and a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) from a network node, wherein the at least one of the DCI and the MAC CE indicates control of a SCell;
- determining whether to apply or ignore the at least one of the DCI and the MAC CE;
- and
- controlling the SCell according to the determination, wherein
- in response to that the DCI and the MAC CE are received simultaneously, the MAC CE indicating activation of the SCell, and the DCI indicating deactivation of the SCell, ignoring one of the DCI and the MAC CE, and applying the other one of the DCI and the MAC CE to control the SCell.
