Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of a restriction on a combination of frequency components permitted to be used by the UE for carrier aggregation or frequency hopping, wherein the restriction indicates at least two frequency components that are not permitted to be combined for carrier aggregation or frequency hopping. The UE may communicate based at least in part on the restriction. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Claims30
An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
- receive an indication of a restriction on a combination of frequency components permitted to be used by the UE for carrier aggregation or frequency hopping, wherein the restriction indicates at least two frequency components that are not permitted to be combined for carrier aggregation or frequency hopping;
- and
- communicate based at least in part on the restriction.
An apparatus for wireless communication at a scheduling entity, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
- transmit an indication of a restriction on a combination of frequency components permitted to be used by a user equipment (UE) for carrier aggregation or frequency hopping, wherein the restriction indicates at least two frequency components that are not permitted to be combined for carrier aggregation or frequency hopping;
- and
- communicate with the UE based at least in part on the restriction.
A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving an indication of a restriction on a combination of frequency components permitted to be used by the UE for carrier aggregation or frequency hopping, wherein the restriction indicates at least two frequency components that are not permitted to be combined for carrier aggregation or frequency hopping;
- and
- communicating based at least in part on the restriction.
A method of wireless communication performed by a scheduling entity, comprising:
- transmitting an indication of a restriction on a combination of frequency components permitted to be used by a user equipment (UE) for carrier aggregation or frequency hopping, wherein the restriction indicates at least two frequency components that are not permitted to be combined for carrier aggregation or frequency hopping;
- and
- communicating with the UE based at least in part on the restriction.
