1. An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one memory storing a computer program;
in which the at least one memory with the computer program is configured with the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to at least;
in response to resuming data transmission/reception upon activation of a serving cell, to enable carrier aggregation, reporting to a network access node for the serving cell being activated after a certain time period a valid channel quality indication result if periodic channel quality indication reporting for the serving cell is configured for the apparatus or if an aperiodic channel quality indication for the serving cell is requested from the network access node, where a minimum requirement is defined for the certain time period before the valid channel quality indication result is reported, where the valid channel quality indication result is reported no later than the minimum requirement.

Abstract
A method, computer program and apparatus operate when resuming data transmission/reception upon activiation of a serving cell, or after a long in-device coexistence interference avoidance gap, to determine whether to report to a network access node an in-device coexistence interference indicator value and send the in-device coexistence interference indicator value to the network access node, The in-device coexistence interference indicator value is reported to the network access node for a certain period if any periodic channel quality indication resource is configured for the cell, or if an aperiodic channel quality indication for the cell is requested from the network access node.

8. A method comprising:
in response to resuming data transmission/reception upon activation of a serving cell, to enable carrier aggregation, reporting by a user equipment to a network access node for the serving cell being activated after a certain time period a valid channel quality indication result if periodic channel quality indication reporting for the serving cell is configured for the user equipment or if a request for an aperiodic channel quality indication for the serving cell is received by the user equipment from the network access node, where a minimum requirement is defined for the certain time period before the valid channel quality indication result is reported, wherein the valid channel quality indication result is reported no later than the minimum requirement. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An apparatus, comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory storing a computer program; in which the at least one memory with the computer program is configured with the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to at least; configure a user equipment for periodic channel quality indication reporting for a serving cell or request from the user equipment an aperiodic channel quality indication for the serving cell; and receive, in response to resuming data transmission/reception upon activation of the serving cell, to enable carrier aggregation, a radio transmission for the serving cell from the user equipment after a certain time period, where the radio transmission includes a valid channel quality indication result, where a minimum requirement is defined for the certain time period before the valid channel quality indication result is received by the apparatus from the user equipment, where the valid channel quality indication result is received by the apparatus from the user equipment no later than the minimum requirement. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method comprising:
-
in a network access node, configuring a user equipment for periodic channel quality indication reporting for a serving cell or requesting from the user equipment an aperiodic channel quality indication for the serving cell; and receiving, in response to the user equipment resuming data transmission/reception upon activation of a serving cell, to enable carrier aggregation, a radio transmission for the serving cell from the user equipment after a certain time period, where the radio transmission includes a valid channel quality indication result, where a minimum requirement is defined for the certain time period before the valid channel quality indication result is received, where the valid channel quality indication result is reported no later than the minimum requirement. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
