Abstract
A communication device for handling a deactivation timer comprises a storage unit for storing instructions and a processing circuit coupled to the storage unit. The processing circuit is configured to execute the instructions stored in the storage unit. The instructions comprise being configured a secondary cell (SCell) and a physical uplink (UL) control channel (PUCCH) of the SCell by a network; being configured to release the PUCCH of the SCell by the network; and starting a deactivation timer for the SCell after receiving a PDCCH from the network, when the PUCCH is released.
Claims12
A communication device for handling a deactivation timer, comprising:
- a storage unit, for storing instructions of:
- being configured a secondary cell (SCell) and a physical uplink (UL) control channel (PUCCH) of the SCell by a network;
- being configured to release the PUCCH of the SCell by the network;
- and
- starting a deactivation timer for the SCell after receiving a PDCCH from the network, when the PUCCH is released;
- and
- a processing circuit, coupled to the storage unit, configured to execute the instructions stored in the storage unit.
A base station for handling a deactivation timer, comprising:
- a storage unit, for storing instructions of:
- configuring a secondary cell (SCell) and a physical uplink (UL) control channel (PUCCH) of the SCell to a communication device;
- configuring the communication device to release the PUCCH of the SCell;
- transmitting a PDCCH of the SCell to the communication device, after configuring the communication device to release the PUCCH;
- and
- starting a deactivation timer for the SCell in response to transmitting the PDCCH to the communication device;
- and
- a processing circuit, coupled to the storage unit, configured to execute the instructions stored in the storage unit.
A base station for handling a deactivation timer, comprising:
- a storage unit, for storing instructions of:
- configuring a secondary cell (SCell), a value of a deactivation timer for the SCell and a physical uplink (UL) control channel (PUCCH) of the SCell to a communication device;
- configuring the communication device to release the PUCCH of the SCell;
- and
- transmitting an activation command which activates the SCell to the communication device, when configuring the communication device to release the PUCCH;
- and
- a processing circuit, coupled to the storage unit, configured to execute the instructions stored in the storage unit.
