Abstract
A User Equipment (UE) configured for multi-group communications is described. The UE includes a processor and instructions stored in memory that is in electronic communication with the processor. The UE detects a plurality of cells. The UE also determines to use multiple groups of one or more cells. The UE further determines a primary secondary cell (PSCell) for a non-primary cell (non-PCell) group based on UE-specific radio resource control (RRC) signaling. The UE additionally receives information using the multiple groups.
Claims34
A User Equipment (UE) configured for multi-group communications, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable to:
- detect a plurality of cells;
- determine to use multiple groups of one or more cells;
- determine a primary secondary cell (PSCell) for a non-primary cell (non-PCell) group based on UE-specific radio resource control (RRC) signaling;
- and
- receive information using the multiple groups.
An evolved Node B (eNB) configured for multi-group communications, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable to:
- transmit radio resource control (RRC) signaling indicating a primary secondary cell (PSCell) for a non-primary cell (PCell) group;
- and
- transmit information using the non-PCell group.
