Abstract
The method includes conducting communications with a first group of cells, and receiving a first indicator, the first indicator notifying the user equipment (UE) to enable scheduling with at least one second group of cells. The method further includes starting a first inactivity timer associated with the at least one second group of cells based on the first indicator, and scheduling communications with the at least one second group of cells following the starting of the first inactivity timer. The network node performs the method.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- conducting, by at least one processor of a user equipment (UE), communications with a first group of cells;
- receiving, by at least one processor of a user equipment (UE), a first indicator, the first indicator notifying the UE to enable scheduling with at least one second group of cells;
- starting, by the at least one processor, a first inactivity timer associated with the at least one second group of cells based on the first indicator;
- and
- scheduling, by the at least one processor, communications with the at least one second group of cells following the starting of the first inactivity timer.
2 more elements
A network node, comprising:
- a memory containing computer-readable instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to read and execute the computer-readable instructions, in order to,
- conduct communications with a first group of cells,
- receive a first indicator, the first indicator notifying the network node to enable scheduling with at least one second group of cells,
- start a first inactivity timer associated with the at least one second group of cells based on the first indicator, and
- schedule communications with the at least one second group of cells following the starting of the first inactivity timer.
