Abstract
A wireless device receives a control command to transmit a random access preamble on a first secondary cell. The wireless device repeatedly transmits the random access preamble until a random access response corresponding to the random access preamble is received or a predetermined number of transmissions is reached. If the predetermined number of transmissions is reached without receiving the random access response, the wireless device stops transmission of the random access preamble and keeps a connection with the base station active.
