Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may transmit, to a base station, assistance information that indicates a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) preference for multiple connectivity communications from a master node and one or more secondary nodes; and receive, from the base station, a communication that indicates a routing of a sequence of PDCP packages across the master node and one or more active secondary nodes. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Claims21
(canceled)
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory comprising instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the instructions and cause the apparatus to:
- output assistance information that indicates a secondary node configuration preference for multiple connectivity communications;
- and
- obtain a communication that indicates a secondary node configuration.
A method of wireless communication performed at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- outputting assistance information that indicates a secondary node configuration preference for multiple connectivity communications;
- and
- obtaining a communication that indicates a secondary node configuration.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a memory comprising instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the instructions and cause the UE to:
- transmit, via the transceiver, assistance information that indicates a secondary node configuration preference for multiple connectivity communications;
- and
- receive, via the transceiver, a communication that indicates a secondary node configuration.
