Abstract
Disclosed is a method comprising generating an indication indicating a switching mode to be applied at a user equipment for uplink transmit switching, wherein the switching mode is based at least on a predicted throughput of the user equipment on a primary cell and on one or more secondary cells of the user equipment; and transmitting the indication to the user equipment.
Claims13
An apparatus comprising at least one processor, and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- generate an indication indicating a switching mode to be applied at a user equipment for uplink transmit switching,
- wherein the switching mode is based at least on a predicted throughput of the user equipment on a primary cell and on one or more secondary cells of the user equipment and
- transmit the indication to the user equipment.
An apparatus comprising at least one processor, and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive, from a network node, an indication indicating a switching mode to be applied at the apparatus for uplink transmit switching,
- wherein the switching mode is based at least on a predicted throughput of the apparatus on a primary cell and on one or more secondary cells of the apparatus;
- and
- apply the switching mode indicated by the indication.
12-15. (canceled)
A system comprising at least a network node and a user equipment;
- wherein the network node is configured to:
- generate an indication indicating a switching mode to be applied at the user equipment for uplink transmit switching,
- wherein the switching mode is based at least on a predicted throughput of the user equipment on a primary cell and on one or more secondary cells of the user equipment;
- and
- transmit the indication to the user equipment;
- wherein the user equipment is configured to:
- receive, from the network node, the indication indicating the switching mode to be applied at the user equipment;
- and
- apply the switching mode indicated by the indication.
