Cell activation

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosuredisclosedevices, methodsandapparatuses forcell activation.In the embodiments, a terminal determines a pathloss-reference signal (PL-RS) as known for a secondary cell (SCell) with an uplink based on at least one measurement result or a measurement report. The measurement report is triggered due to a cell activation command. Then, the terminal device activates, based on the PL-RS determined as known, the SCell within a first time period. In this way, communication performance related to the carrier aggregation (CA) operations can be improved.
