Abstract
A method for allocating available transceiver resources across different component carriers (CC) includes obtaining a carrier aggregation capability that includes a list of available CCs supported by the UE at a current location for simultaneous communication with a carrier aggregation capable network. The method also includes, for each of the available CCs, obtaining an expected key performance indicator (KPI) associated with the corresponding available CC at the current location. The method also includes allocating the available transceiver resources across the available CCs based on the expected KPIs at the current location.
Claims30
A method for allocating available transceiver resources across different component carriers (CCs), the method comprising:
- obtaining, by data processing hardware of user equipment (UE), a carrier aggregation capability, the carrier aggregation capability comprising a list of available CCs supported by the UE at a current location for simultaneous communication with a carrier aggregation capable network;
- and
- prior to connecting the UE to each of the available CCs:
- for each of the available CCs, obtaining, by the data processing hardware, an expected key performance indicator (KPI) associated with the corresponding available CC at the current location;
- allocating, by the data processing hardware, the available transceiver resources across the available CCs based on the expected KPIs at the current location;
- and
- after allocating the available transceiver resources to the available CCs, transmitting an allocation message from the UE to at least one base station of the carrier aggregation capable network, the allocation message indicating a number of the available transceiver resources allocated to each of the available CCs at the current location.

A user equipment (UE) device comprising:
- a transceiver having available transceiver resources;
- data processing hardware in communication with the transceiver;
- and
- memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware, the memory hardware storing instructions that when executed on the data processing hardware cause the data processing hardware to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining a carrier aggregation capability, the carrier aggregation capability comprising a list of available CCs supported by the UE at a current location for simultaneous communication with a carrier aggregation capable network;
- and
- prior to connecting the UE to each of the available CCS for simultaneous communication with the carrier aggregation network:
- for each of the available CCs, obtaining an expected key performance indicator (KPI) associated with the corresponding available CC at the current location;
- allocating the available transceiver resources across the available CCs based on the expected KPIs at the current location;
- and
- after allocating the available transceiver resources across the available CCs, transmitting an allocation message from the UE to at least one base station of the carrier aggregation capable network, the allocation message indicating a number of the available transceiver resources allocated to each of the available CCs at the current location.
