Abstract
A method for and apparatus for supporting a control plane (C-plane) and a user plane (U-plane) in a wireless communication system supporting multiple carriers is provided. A wireless device configures a cell for the U-plane to receive and transmit data, determines to enable a User Plane Reception Period (U-RP) corresponding to the cell for the U-plane, and determines to receive and transmit data with the cell for the U-plane during the enabled U-RP. The cell for the U-plane includes at least one or more serving cells, and the cell for the U-plane has a different frequency from a cell for the C-plane.
Claims15
A method for supporting a control plane (C-plane) and a user plane (U-plane) in a wireless communication system supporting multiple carriers, performed by a wireless device, the method comprising:
- setting up a cell for the U-plane, the cell for the U-plane including at least one first serving cell;
- determining whether a User Plane Reception Period (U-RP) corresponding to the cell for the U-plane is enabled;
- and
- communicating with the cell for the U-plane during the enabled U-RP when it is determined that the U-RP is enabled.
A wireless device configured for supporting a control plane (C-plane) and a user plane (U-plane) in a wireless communication system supporting multiple carriers, comprising:
- a radio frequency unit configured to receive and transmit a radio signal;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled with the radio frequency unit and configured to:
- set up a cell for the U-plane, the cell for the U-plane including at least one first serving cell;
- determine whether a User Plane Reception Period (U-RP) corresponding to the cell for the U-plane is enabled;
- and
- communicate with the cell for the U-plane during the enabled U-RP when it is determined that the U-RP is enabled.
A method for supporting a control plane (C-plane) and a user plane (U-plane) in a wireless communication system supporting multiple carriers, performed by a wireless device, the method comprising:
- indicating a capability with one or more frequencies for the U-plane to a serving cell,
- requiring to switch between a cell for the C-plane and a cell for the U-plane, and
- determining one of that different configuration for the cells each is configured, a dynamic selection is indicated, and a toggle or indication for switching is used,
- wherein the cell for the U-plane includes at least one or more serving cells, and the cell for the U-plane has a different frequency from the cell for the C-plane.
