Abstract: A method can include receiving, by a wireless device, configuration parameters of a serving cell with a first physical cell identity (PCI) and an additional PCI. The configuration parameters can indicate a first timing advance group (TAG), of the serving cell, associated with a first transmission configuration indication (TCI) state; a second TAG, of the serving cell, associated with a second TCI state; a first set of random access (RA) resources associated with the first PCI of the serving cell; and a second set of RA resources associated with the additional PCI of the serving cell. The method can also include receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) order triggering an RA procedure and transmitting, via an RA resource selected from the second set of RA resources, a RA preamble for the RA procedure.

Abstract: A wireless device receives one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters of uplink switching for a plurality of bands. The plurality of bands comprise a first band associated with a first priority, and a second band associated with a second priority. The wireless device determines, for an uplink switching between the first band and the second band, an uplink switching period location to be in the first band, based on the first priority being lower than the second priority. The wireless device transmits, based on the uplink switching period location, an uplink transmission via one of the first band and the second band.

Abstract: A wireless device transmits a capability information message indicating a first switching period associated with a first band pair with a first band and a second band, and a second switching period associated with a second band pair with a third band and a fourth band. The wireless device receives configuration parameters of one or more cells indicating dual uplink for uplink switching is configured for at least two uplink carriers of the first band pair and the second band pair. A wireless device determines, based on the dual uplink, to transmit a first uplink transmission on the second band. The first band is switched to the second band on a first transmitter, and the third band and the fourth band on a second transmitter. The wireless device omits the first uplink transmission during a larger of the first switching period and the second switching period.

Abstract: A wireless device comprises one or more processors and memory storing instructions. When executed by the one or more processors, the instructions cause the wireless device to receive one or more radio resource control, RRC, messages indicating: a plurality of band pairs for uplink switching; and whether each band pair, of the plurality of band pairs, is configured with uplink switching based on dual uplink or configured with uplink switching based on switched uplink. The instructions cause the wireless device to transmit, based on a first band pair, of the plurality of band pairs, being configured with dual uplink: a first uplink transmission via a first band of the first band pair; and a second uplink transmission via a second band of the first band pair.
