US 2023/0422165 A1 · SCell Activation Enhancement with Assistance Reference Signal

Abstract

A user equipment is configured to receive a reference signal when secondary cell (SCell is to be activated. The UE receives a secondary cell (SCell) activation indication for activating an SCell, receives a reference signal (RS) triggering indication for triggering an RS prior to an expected SCell activation period, performs measurements on the triggered RS and activates the SCell based on the RS measurements.

Claims20

Dependent claims

One or more processors configured to perform operations comprising:
