Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for transitioning one or a plurality of activated secondary cells (SCells) between a dormancy behavior and an active behavior. For example, the apparatus can include receiving circuitry and processing circuitry. The receiving circuitry can be configured to receive a configuration indicating a number of SCell groups each including at least one of the SCells, and an indication of at least one of the SCell groups to be transitioned between the dormancy behavior and the active behavior. The processing circuitry can be configured to transition the at least one SCell of the at least one SCell group between the dormancy behavior and the active behavior.
