  • the UE may be configured with SCell with PUCCH for which the UE has no valid UL timing. Based on the RAN2 agreements in R2- 152855, it is possible that for a UE, which has valid UL timing on activated PUCCH SCell, the SCell activation delay requirements would most likely be similar as for a non-PUCCH SCell although UE behavior needs to be changed.
  • ⁇ Upon activation of a PUCCH SCell without valid UL timing, the UE waits for network to initiate random access via PDCCH order.
  • DC dual connectivity
  • the PSCell which also has UL
  • the PSCell which also has UL
  • the PSCell is always activated and never deactivated. Therefore, there is no need to have the same activation delay requirements for when the network has sent the MAC activation command, which is when the UE required to be ready on the activated SCell.
  • the UE does not (is not required to) wait for PDCCH Order on the configured PSCell.
  • CA carrier aggregation
  • the PUCCH is carried on PCell, until now when 3GPP is introducing the PUCCH SCell (i.e., where PUCCH is carried on the SCell). That is, the problem does not exist in current CA.
  • This UL response would be due to scheduling, which could be due to PDCCH Order, e.g., when the RA burst is received from the UE.
  • An additional option would be that delay would be based/defined on when the UE sends first CSI report in UL (after UL timing has been aligned) and this delay is then relaxed by adding PRACH procedure delay (e.g., non-contention based RA triggered by PDCCH order). For the other case when UE has UL timing, the new delay requirement would be based on when the UE is capable of transmitting its first valid CSI report on the activated PUCCH SCell.
  • the delay should then be referring to the point when the UE receives the activation command and when the eNB receives the UL (e.g., RA burst or CSI report) from the UE on the PUCCH SCell.
  • the UL e.g., RA burst or CSI report
  • a minimum requirement for the UE related to what is the longest delay expected on the UE side from when receiving the MAC activation command for the PUCCH SCell (e.g., on the PCell) and until the UE can receive the PDCCH on the (PUCCH) SCell. Also related is a consideration as to when is the earliest point in time when the network can schedule the UE on the activated (PUCCH) SCell - e.g., PDCCH Order - and expect that the UE is able to receive the scheduling/PDCCH correctly.
  • RAN2 decided that the UE shall wait for PDCCH Order in the PUCCH SCell, when the PUCCH SCell is activated, if the UE does not have valid UL timing in the cell.
  • the network shall send the PDCCH Order to the UE.
  • Another UE requirement concerns what is the latest point in time from receiving the SCell activation command on UE side and until that the UE shall be able to receive PDCCH - and therefore the PDCCH Order - on the activated SCell. This point is referred to as point 'y' and is indicated in FIG. 2 as 'Earliest point when eNB expect UE monitoring PDCCH' (see block 220).
  • FIG. 2 this figure is an example of a number of LTE frames in time.
  • Five LTE frames 205-1, -2, -3, -4, and -5 are shown.
  • Each frame 205 (10 ms in duration) has 10 subframes 210-0 through 210-9, each of which is 1 (one) ms in duration.
  • Block 215 illustrates that the activation command is received in subframe 210-0 of frame 205-1, e.g., on PCell for activating the PUCCH SCell (in which the UE 110 has no valid UL timing).
  • Block 220 indicates that the earliest point when the eNB 170 expects the UE 110 to be monitoring PDCCH (y) is subframe 210-0 of frame 205-2.
  • Block 225 indicates that the UE 110 shall be able to transmit the RA preamble if PDCCH is received in subframe 210-4 of frame 205-1.
  • Block 230 indicates that the latest point is subframe 210-0 of frame 205-3 when the UE 110 shall be able to receive PDCCH and the latest point the eNB 170 can expect the UE 110 to be able to correctly receive PDCCH (y).
  • Block 235 indicates that at subframe 210-4 of frame 205-3, the UE 110 shall be able to transmit the RA preamble (PDCCH is possible to receive the latest four (4) TTIs prior to this point).
  • FIG. 2 and following requirement and UE behavior are based, e.g., on the current E-
  • UTRAN behavior which should not be seen as a limiting factor.
  • Two main topics are covered here: 1) minimum time when the UE shall be able to correctly receive PDCCH on the activated PUCCH SCell (e.g., what is the latest point in time after activation that the eNB (PUCCH SCell eNB) can expect the UE 110 to correctly receive the PUCCH SCell PDCCH) - time 'y' ; and 2) what is the (relative) maximum UE activation delay of the PUCCH SCell.
  • HARQ network
  • subframe 210-0 of frame 205-2 is the earliest time where the UE could/should be able (is expected) to receive the PDCCH on the PUCCH SCell. See block 220. This is then defined as the earliest point when the network can expect UE to be schedulable on the activated SCell. If the UE receives a PDCCH Order, the UL RA burst shall be transmitted (see block 225) in z TTIs later (e.g., as in legacy requirement) which is then the earliest point.
  • the delay requirement is then relaxed according to the time when the UE receives the PDCCH Order from the network on the PUCCH SCell.
  • An example to illustrate this is as follows.
  • the UE shall be able to transmit UL RA at n+x+z, where x is the time when UE receives PDCCH order, and eNB can assume UE is able to receive the PDCCH order if x is larger than y (assuming RA is sent z TTIs after receiving the PDCCH order).
  • y is the latest point in time from receiving the SCell activation command on UE side (in TTI n) and until that the UE shall be able to receive PDCCH.
  • the UE requirement is linked to when the UE is fact receiving the PDCCH order on the PUCCH SCell.
  • FIG. 3 a logic flow diagram is shown that is performed by a base station for activation delay for PUCCH SCell based on UL response.

  • the eNB 170 might be separated into eNBs 170-1 (PCell) and 170-2 (SCell). If so, there could be coordination between the two eNBs 170-1 and 170-2 (e.g., so that the activation delay can be a known entity).
  • the eNB 170 performs sending from a base station an activation command to a user equipment for activating a secondary cell with a physical uplink control channel for use by the user equipment.
  • the eNB 170 performs sending after an activation delay a physical downlink control channel order message to the user equipment on a physical downlink control channel for the secondary cell.
  • the eNB 170 performs receiving, responsive to the physical downlink control channel order message, a random access response from the user equipment on the physical uplink control channel for the secondary cell.
  • the eNBs 170 for the PCell and SCell could be "separate" eNBs (even if co- located). If this is the case, there could be some coordination between the two eNBs.
  • block 310 could be performed by the PCell, and some communication (e.g., via an indication) could be performed so that the SCell can determine that the sending of the activation command has been performed.
  • the SCell would then perform block 320 (e.g., and 330) responsive to the fact that the sending of the activation command has been performed.

  • One exemplary advantage of this approach is that it is flexible for both UE and network while still being well defined. That is, there is a clear requirement (e.g., a technical effect) related to UE behavior for activation delay concerning the PUCCH SCell. Additionally, this approach is using existing signaling while enabling (e.g., another technical effect) clear definition and testable/predictable UE behavior. This proposal is aligned with existing activation delay procedures and UE requirements.

Abstract

L'invention à trait d'une manière générale à des cellules primaires et secondaires pour l'agrégation de porteuses, et concerne un procédé, un appareil, un système de communication, un programme informatique et un support lisible par ordinateur stockant un programme informatique associé. Le procédé consiste à : envoyer à partir d'une station de base une commande d'activation à un équipement utilisateur pour activer une cellule secondaire à l'aide d'un canal physique de commande de liaison montante destiné à être utilisé par l'équipement utilisateur; envoyer, après un retard d'activation, un message d'ordre de canal physique de commande de liaison descendante à l'équipement utilisateur sur un canal physique de commande de liaison descendante associé à la cellule secondaire; et recevoir, en réponse au message d'ordre de canal physique de commande de liaison descendante, une réponse d'accès aléatoire provenant de l'équipement utilisateur sur le canal physique de commande de liaison montante associé à la cellule secondaire.
