Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method performed in a wireless device served by a network node of a radio communications system. The wireless device is capable of carrier aggregation and is configured by the network node with a primary cell, PCell, and a first secondary cell, SCell. The method comprises receiving an activation command for activating the first SCell. The method also comprises performing a first activation procedure for activating the first SCell in response to the activation command, over a variable time period increasing with a number of times that a discovery reference signal occasion of the first SCell is not available at the wireless device during the first activation procedure. The disclosure also relates to the corresponding method in the network node as well as the wireless device and the network node.
