Abstract:
A method performed by a base station may include receiving using a first uplink carrier. The method may include transmitting a signal using a first downlink carrier. The signal may include a message indicating activation of a second uplink carrier. The method may include transmitting configuration information indicating an inactivity period associated with the second uplink carrier. The method may include receiving using the second uplink carrier activated based on the message. The method may further include detecting that the second uplink carrier has been deactivated based on expiration of the inactivity period.
