  • Patent number: 10491284
    Abstract: A wireless device receives configuration parameters of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) secondary cell with a secondary PUCCH. The PUCCH secondary cell is in a timing advance group (TAG) of TAGs. During a first transmission time interval, a command indicating activation of the PUCCH secondary cell is received. A timing advance command for the TAG is received. Transmission of valid channel state information via the PUCCH secondary cell during a second transmission time interval occurring a first quantity of transmission time intervals after the first transmission time interval are started. The first quantity is based on a delay from receiving the command until the wireless device applies the timing advance command to uplink transmissions via the TAG.
