Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
at least one processor;
a transceiver communicatively coupled to the at least one processor; and
a memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
obtain a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) from a network, the MAC CE being configurable to one of a plurality of values respectively corresponding to a plurality of state transition actions for a secondary cell between a secondary cell deactivated state, a secondary cell activated state, and a secondary cell fast activation state, wherein the plurality of state transition actions includes at least a transition to the secondary cell fast activation state;
transition to the secondary cell fast activation state indicated by the MAC CE,
the transition to the secondary cell fast activation state comprising a transition to the secondary cell fast activation state from the secondary cell deactivated state in response to a first value of the MAC CE;
the transition to the secondary cell fast activation state comprising a transition to the secondary cell fast activation state from the secondary cell activated state in response to a second value of the MAC CE; and
operate in the secondary cell fast activation state, wherein the apparatus reports a sounding reference signal (SRS) and refrains from monitoring at least one downlink control channel when operating in the secondary cell fast activation state.
