US 2026/0089519 A1 · ANCHOR CHANNEL FOR UPPER 6 GHZ BAND SHARING

Abstract

A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) and related apparatus are provided. In the method, the UE performs an initialization or maintenance procedure with a network entity for a first radio access technology (RAT) using at least one anchor channel based on a configuration of one or more anchor channels for the first RAT. The one or more anchor channels are distributed in a frequency band shared between the first RAT and a second RAT. The UE further communicates on the frequency band using one or more of the first RAT or the second RAT. The first RAT has priority over the second RAT for using the one or more anchor channels.

Dependent claims

An apparatus for wireless communication at a 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 UE to:
perform, with a network entity, an initialization or maintenance procedure for a first radio access technology (RAT) using at least one anchor channel based on a configuration of one or more anchor channels for the first RAT, wherein the one or more anchor channels are distributed in a frequency band shared between the first RAT and a second RAT;
and
communicate on the frequency band using one or more of the first RAT or the second RAT, wherein the first RAT has priority over the second RAT for using the one or more anchor channels.

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 network entity to:
transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a configuration for an allocation of one or more anchor channels for a first radio access technology (RAT), wherein the one or more anchor channels are distributed in a frequency band shared between the first RAT and a second RAT;
perform an initialization or maintenance procedure based on the first RAT using at least one anchor channel from the one or more anchor channels;
and
communicate with the UE on the frequency band, wherein the first RAT has priority over the second RAT for using the one or more anchor channels.
