US 2017/0374607 A1 · Device and Method for Handling Dual Cellular System Aggregation

Abstract

A communication device for handling dual cellular system aggregation comprises a storage device for storing instructions and a processing circuit coupled to the storage device. The processing circuit is configured to execute the instructions stored in the storage device. The instructions comprise connecting to a network via a first radio access technology (RAT); transmitting a “first RAT-second RAT” joint aggregation capability and at least one of a first RAT sole aggregation capability and a second RAT sole aggregation capability to the network; receiving a second RAT configuration configuring a “first RAT-second RAT” joint aggregation; connecting to the network via a second RAT according to the second RAT configuration; and receiving a first data via the first RAT and a second data via the second RAT, after connecting to the network via both of the first RAT and the second RAT.
