Abstract
A user equipment (UE) configured for signaling UE capability is described. The UE includes a processor and instructions stored in memory that is in electronic communication with the processor. The UE sends an indicator regarding whether the UE can support different time division duplex (TDD) configurations on different bands for a band combination. The UE also sends an indicator regarding whether the UE can support concurrent transmission and reception on different bands for the band combination. The UE additionally sends an indicator regarding whether the UE can support different uplink timing adjustments for the band combination.
Claims8
A user equipment (UE) configured for signaling UE capability, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- instructions stored in the memory being executable to:
- send, to a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including capability information of the UE, wherein
- the capability information includes first information and second information,
- the first information indicates supported band combinations,
- the second information indicates whether the UE supports concurrent transmission and reception on different bands for each band combination, and
- the concurrent transmission and reception includes (a) reception which is performed with use of a first cell in one of the different bands and (b) transmission which is performed with use of a second cell in another one of the different bands.
A base station configured for receiving user equipment (UE) capability signaling, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- instructions stored in the memory being executable to:
- receive, from a UE, a radio resource control (RRC) message including capability information of the UE, wherein
- the capability information includes first information and second information,
- the first information indicates supported band combinations,
- the second information indicates whether the UE supports concurrent transmission and reception on different bands for each band combination, and
- the concurrent transmission and reception includes (a) reception which is performed with use of a first cell in one of the different bands and (b) transmission which is performed with use of a second cell in another one of the different bands.
A method performed by a user equipment (UE) configured for signaling UE capability, comprising:
- sending, to a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including capability information of the UE,
- wherein the capability information includes first information and second information,
- the first information indicates supported band combinations,
- the second information indicates whether the UE supports concurrent transmission and reception on different bands for each band combination, and
- the concurrent transmission and reception includes (a) reception which is performed with use of a first cell in one of the different bands and (b) transmission which is performed with use of a second cell in another one of the different bands.
A method performed by a base station configured for receiving user equipment (UE) capability signaling, comprising:
