Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for dual scheduling configuring. One method includes operating in a dual scheduling configuration in which a primary cell is configured to be scheduled by the primary cell or a secondary cell. The method includes determining whether the secondary cell is not available. The method includes, in response to the secondary cell not being available, switching from the dual scheduling configuration to a single scheduling configuration in which the primary cell is configured to be scheduled only by the primary cell.
Claims17
A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- operating in a dual scheduling configuration having a primary cell configured to be scheduled by the primary cell or a secondary cell;
- determining whether the secondary cell is available;
- in response to the secondary cell not being available, switching from the dual scheduling configuration to a single scheduling configuration having the primary cell configured to be scheduled by the primary cell and not by the secondary cell;
- and
- in response to the primary cell not being in an active time, not monitoring physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates for scheduling the primary cell via the secondary cell unless the primary cell enters the active time within a threshold time period from a reception time of a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a transmission via the primary cell.
An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising instructions executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
- operate in a dual scheduling configuration having a primary cell configured to be scheduled by the primary cell or a secondary cell;
- determine whether the secondary cell is available;
- in response to the secondary cell not being available, switch from the dual scheduling configuration to a single scheduling configuration having the primary cell configured to be scheduled by the primary cell and not by the secondary cell;
- and
- in response to the primary cell not being in an active time, not monitor physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates for scheduling the primary cell via the secondary cell unless the primary cell enters the active time within a threshold time period from a reception time of a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a transmission via the primary cell.
