Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide techniques for providing a UE capability indicating that the UE supports dynamic switching between a plurality of uplink frequencies within at least one frequency combination of at least three uplink frequencies. The UE capability may further indicate a respective switching period for each frequency pair within each of the one or more frequency combinations. The UE may further communicate with a network entity based on the UE capability.
Claims30
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a transceiver configured to communicate with a network entity;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver and the memory, the processor being configured to:
- transmit a capability of the UE to switch between a plurality of uplink frequencies in at least one frequency combination to a network entity, each of the at least one frequency combination comprising at least three uplink frequencies, the capability further indicating a respective switching period for each frequency pair within each of the at least one frequency combination, each of the frequency pairs comprising two uplink frequencies of the at least three uplink frequencies;
- and
- communicate with the network entity based on the capability.
A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- transmitting a capability of the UE to switch between a plurality of uplink frequencies in at least one frequency combination to a network entity, each of the at least one frequency combination comprising at least three uplink frequencies, the capability further indicating a respective switching period for each frequency pair within each of the at least one frequency combination, each of the frequency pairs comprising two uplink frequencies of the at least three uplink frequencies;
- and
- communicating with the network entity based on the capability.
A network entity, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:
- receive a capability of a user equipment (UE) to switch between a plurality of uplink frequencies in at least one frequency combination, each of the at least one frequency combination comprising at least three uplink frequencies, the capability further indicating a respective switching period for each frequency pair within each of the at least one frequency combination, each of the frequency pairs comprising two uplink frequencies of the at least three uplink frequencies;
- and communicate with the UE based on the capability.
A method for wireless communication at a network entity, comprising:
