1-22. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- switching, by a user equipment, between a first carrier associated with a first base station and a second carrier associated with a second base station, wherein the switching is performed based on at least a configuration defining when to perform the switching;
- and
- indicating an extension of a time allocated by the configuration at the first base station.
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:
- switch between a first carrier associated with a first base station and a second carrier associated with a second base station, wherein the switch is performed based on at least a configuration defining when to perform the switching;
- and
- indicate an extension of a time allocated by the configuration at the first base station.
