Abstract
In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, a method is disclosed. Determining that downlink reception on a first CC is degraded due to interference caused by a second CC. In response to the determining, arranging UL signaling to inform a network of a quantitative power difference between the first and the second CC and further identifying which of the first or second CCs exhibits a higher power.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining that downlink reception on a first CC is degraded due to interference caused by a second CC;
- and
- in response to the determining, arranging UL signaling to inform a network of a quantitative power difference between the first and the second CC and further identifying which of the first or second CCs exhibits a higher power.
A method comprising:
- determining that a power difference among first and second CCs exceeds a tolerance threshold, in which the tolerance threshold is specific for a user equipment;
- and
- in response to the determining, arranging uplink signaling to inform a network at least that the tolerance threshold was exceeded.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
- determining that downlink reception on a first CC is degraded due to interference caused by a second CC;
- and
- in response to the determining, arranging UL signaling to inform a network of a quantitative power difference between the first and the second CC and further identifying which of the first or second CCs exhibits a higher power.
4 more elements
A computer program, comprising:
- code for determining that downlink reception on a first CC is degraded due to interference caused by a second CC;
- and
- code for arranging, in response to the determining, UL signaling to inform a network of a quantitative power difference between the first and the second CC and further identifying which of the first or second CCs exhibits a higher power;
- when the computer program is run on a processor.
