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.
Claims4
A User Equipment (UE), comprising:
- a processing circuitry configured and/or programmed to use multiple groups of one or more serving cells,
- one of the multiple groups being a primary cell group,
- the primary cell group containing at least a primary cell,
- the primary cell not used as a path loss reference for a path loss measurement for a secondary cell in each of one or more non-primary cell groups,
- the each of one or more non-primary cell groups being different from the primary cell group.
An evolved Node B (eNB), comprising:
- a processing circuitry configured and/or programmed to receive an uplink signal from multiple groups of one or more serving cells,
- one of the multiple groups being a primary cell group,
- the primary cell group containing at least a primary cell,
- the primary cell not used as a path loss reference for a path loss measurement for a secondary cell in each of one or more non-primary cell groups,
- the each of one or more non-primary cell groups being different from the primary cell group.
A processing method performed in a User Equipment (UE), comprising:
- using multiple groups of one or more serving cells,
- one of the multiple groups being a primary cell group,
- the primary cell group containing at least a primary cell,
- the primary cell not used as a path loss reference for a path loss measurement for a secondary cell in each of one or more non-primary cell groups,
- the each of one or more non-primary cell groups being different from the primary cell group.
A processing method performed in an evolved Node B (eNB), comprising:
