Abstract
A wireless device may communicate via a primary cell comprising a primary control channel, and via a secondary cell comprising a secondary control channel, and may signal a scheduling request for the transmission of information via either of the control channels. A scheduling request prohibit timer may be started for the transmission via either of the control channels.
Claims52
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless device:
- a timer indication for a scheduling request (SR) prohibit timer;
- at least one parameter for a primary cell comprising a primary control channel;
- and
- at least one parameter for a secondary cell comprising a secondary control channel;
- and
- based on the wireless device having more than one valid control channel SR resource in a transmission time interval:
- incrementing a value of an SR counter;
- signaling an SR via a valid control channel SR resource that is selected from one of the primary control channel or the secondary control channel;
- and
- starting the SR prohibit timer for SR transmission via either the primary control channel or the secondary control channel, wherein a duration of the SR prohibit timer is based on the timer indication.
