Abstract
In order to avoid malfunction of lower layers of a user equipment, known as UE, in a wireless communications system, the present invention provides a method of improving a multi-input multi-output, known as MIMO, procedure. The method includes the following steps. A MIMO operation is activated, and the MIMO operation is then de-activated when the UE initiates a cell update procedure.
Claims8
