First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one processor, the at least one memory, and the computer program code configured to cause the apparatus to at least;
receive a channel measurement report from a user equipment;
determine a receipt of the channel measurement report to indicate a time that a secondary cell is active at the user equipment and a readiness at the user equipment to access the secondary cell,wherein the readiness comprises a delay from the time the secondary cell is active to a time the secondary cell is operational, andwherein the delay is of fixed value of 24 terminal timing intervals (TTIs) for the user equipment.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for secondary cells configured for carrier aggregation. In one aspect there is provided a method. The method may include receiving, at a user equipment, an indication from a network to activate a secondary cell configured for carrier aggregation, the indication comprising at least one of a secondary cell activation command or a secondary cell configuration; and sending, by the user equipment, at least one of a secondary cell activation time or a secondary cell activation delay to the network. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.
