1. A method comprising:
transmitting, by a wireless device:
a first capability parameter indicating that the wireless device supports semi-static physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) cell switching; and
a second capability parameter associated with a transitioning time of switching from a first carrier to a second carrier for the semi-static PUCCH cell switching;
receiving:
first configuration parameters of a first cell and a second cell, wherein the first cell and the second cell are in a PUCCH group;
a second configuration parameter indicating the second cell as a PUCCH switching secondary cell in the PUCCH group; and
based on the wireless device capability, a third configuration parameter of a time-domain pattern for the semi-static PUCCH cell switching;
wherein the time-domain pattern indicates:
first timings that the first cell is a cell for PUCCH transmission; and
second timings, comprising a first transmission timing, that the second cell is the cell for PUCCH transmission; and
transmitting first uplink control information in the first transmission timing:
via the second cell in response to the second cell being activated in the first transmission timing; and
via the first cell in response to the second cell being deactivated in the first transmission timing.
