1. A base station comprising:
- one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the base station to;
receive, from a wireless device via a primary carrier of at least one backward compatible carrier, a first message comprising one or more parameters indicating whether the wireless device supports at least one non-backward compatible carrier;
transmit, if the one or more parameters indicate support of the at least one non-backward compatible carrier, at least one second message comprising configuration parameters comprising an identifier for each carrier in a plurality of carriers, the plurality of carriers comprising;
one or more of the at least one backward compatible carrier; and
one or more of the at least one non-backward compatible carrier;
receive at least one measurement report from the wireless device;
make a handover decision for the wireless device; and
transmit to a second base station, in response to the handover decision, a third message comprising at least one of;
the one or more parameters indicating whether the wireless device supports configuration of the at least one non-backward compatible carrier; and
configuration information of the one or more of the at least one non-backward compatible carrier.

Abstract
A first base station transmits at least one message to configure at least one backward compatible carrier and at least one non-backward compatible carrier in a wireless device. The first base station transmits, in response to the first base station making a handover decision, a second message to a second base station. The second message comprises parameters indicating whether the wireless device supports configuration of non-backward compatible carriers, configuration information of at least one backward compatible carrier and/or configuration information of at least one non-backward compatible carrier.

17. A method for use in a network comprising a first base station and a second base station, the method comprising:
-
receiving by the first base station from a wireless device via a primary carrier of at least one backward compatible carrier, a first message comprising one or more parameters indicating whether the wireless device supports at least one non-backward compatible carrier; transmitting by the first base station to the wireless device, if the one or more parameters indicate support of the at least one non-backward compatible carrier, at least one second message comprising configuration parameters comprising an identifier for each carrier in a plurality of carriers, the plurality of carriers comprising; one or more of the at least one backward compatible carrier; and one or more of the at least one non-backward compatible carrier; receive, by the first base station, at least one measurement report from the wireless device; making, by the first base station, a handover decision for the wireless device; and transmitting, by the first base station to the second base station, in response to the handover decision, a third message comprising at least one of; the one or more parameters indicating whether the wireless device supports configuration of the at least one non-backward compatible carrier; and configuration information of the one or more of the at least one non-backward compatible carrier. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
