11546122 · 2023-01-03 · ·

A wireless device receives message(s) comprising parameters of cells grouped into: a primary control channel group comprising a primary cell with a primary control channel, and a secondary control channel group comprising a control channel secondary cell with a secondary control channel. Parameters comprise RRC dedicated parameters. A secondary cell other than the control channel secondary cell is mapped to the secondary control channel group if a first control channel parameter is present in the RRC dedicated parameters of the secondary cell when the secondary cell is added to the cells. Otherwise the secondary cell is mapped to the primary control channel group. A secondary cell is considered to be the control channel secondary cell if second control channel parameters are present in the RRC dedicated parameters. First channel state information is transmitted via the secondary control channel. Second channel state information is transmitted via the primary control channel.
