Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit communications on a primary component carrier and a secondary component carrier (SCC). The UE may refrain from transmission on the SCC based at least in part on an error rate for transmission on the SCC and an amount of transmission power headroom for the UE. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Claims30
A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
- transmit communications on a primary component carrier (PCC) and a secondary component carrier (SCC);
- and
- refrain from transmission on the SCC based at least in part on an error rate for transmission on the SCC and an amount of transmission power headroom for the UE.
A base station for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
- schedule uplink communications for a user equipment (UE) on a primary component carrier (PCC) and a secondary component carrier (SCC);
- and
- adjust scheduling of uplink communications for the UE on the SCC based at least in part on an error rate for transmission on the SCC and an amount of transmission power headroom for the UE.
A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- transmitting communications on a primary component carrier (PCC) and a secondary component carrier (SCC);
- and
- refraining from transmission on the SCC based at least in part on an error rate for transmission on the SCC and an amount of transmission power headroom for the UE.
A method of wireless communication performed by a base station, comprising:
- scheduling uplink communications for a user equipment (UE) on a primary component carrier (PCC) and a secondary component carrier (SCC);
- and
- adjusting scheduling of uplink communications for the UE on the SCC based at least in part on an error rate for transmission on the SCC and an amount of transmission power headroom for the UE.
