US 2025/0096965 A1 · UE-OBJECT ASSOCIATION ASSIST MULTI-DEVICE AGGREGATION

Abstract

A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) and related apparatus are provided. In the method, the UE receives a multi-device aggregation (MDA) indication from a network entity. The MDA indication indicates an inclusion of the first UE in an aggregation of multiple UEs associated with an object. The UE then performs, based on the aggregation of the multiple UEs, an MDA operation via a physical (PHY) or medium access control (MAC) layer shared among the multiple UEs. The MDA operation includes one or more of beam management, channel state information (CSI) measurement or reporting, radio resource management (RRM), cell selection or reselection, or a positioning operation.

Dependent claims

An apparatus for wireless communication at a first user equipment (UE), comprising:

at least one memory;
and
at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the at least one memory, the at least one processor, individually or in any combination, is configured to cause the first UE to:
receive a multi-device aggregation (MDA) indication from a network entity, wherein the MDA indication indicates an inclusion of the first UE in an aggregation of multiple UEs associated with an object;
and
perform, based on the aggregation of the multiple UEs, an MDA operation via a physical (PHY) or medium access control (MAC) layer shared among the multiple UEs.
