Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for scheduling component carriers and one or more operations on a per NB RF chain basis. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes monitoring occurrences of a first number of operations to be performed for a plurality of component carriers (CCs) according to different periodicities, determining a second number of available narrow band (NB) radio frequency (RF) chains, and scheduling, on the available NB RF chains, up to the second number of the operations to be performed for the plurality of CCs based on a scheduling algorithm if the first number is greater than the second number.
Claims30
A method for wireless communications by a user-equipment (UE), comprising:
- monitoring occurrences of a first number of operations to be performed for a plurality of component carriers (CCs) according to different periodicities;
- determining a second number of available narrow band (NB) radio frequency (RF) chains;
- and
- scheduling, on the available NB RF chains, up to the second number of the operations to be performed for the plurality of CCs based on a scheduling algorithm if the first number is greater than the second number.
A processing system for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a memory comprising computer-executable instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the computer-executable instructions and cause the processing system to:
- monitor occurrences of a first number of operations to be performed for a plurality of component carriers (CCs) according to different periodicities;
- determine a second number of available narrow band (NB) radio frequency (RF) chains;
- and
- schedule, on the available NB RF chains, up to the second number of the operations to be performed for the plurality of CCs based on a scheduling algorithm if the first number is greater than the second number.
An apparatus for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- means for monitoring occurrences of a first number of operations to be performed for a plurality of component carriers (CCs) according to different periodicities;
- means for determining a second number of available narrow band (NB) radio frequency (RF) chains;
- and
- means for scheduling, on the available NB RF chains, up to the second number of the operations to be performed for the plurality of CCs based on a scheduling algorithm if the first number is greater than the second number.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a processing system, cause the processing system to:
- monitor occurrences of a first number of operations to be performed for a plurality of component carriers (CCs) according to different periodicities;
- determine a second number of available narrow band (NB) radio frequency (RF) chains;
- and
- schedule, on the available NB RF chains, up to the second number of the operations to be performed for the plurality of CCs based on a scheduling algorithm if the first number is greater than the second number.
