ASYNCHRONOUS CARRIER AGGREGATION SLOT ALIGNMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18164853 titled 'ASYNCHRONOUS CARRIER AGGREGATION SLOT ALIGNMENT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes a wireless communication system where a user equipment (UE) can receive information about the offset between the start of a frame on a primary cell (PCell) and a secondary cell (SCell). The UE can then determine if a slot on the PCell is aligned with a slot on the SCell, identify the slot on the SCell based on the offset, and communicate on either the PCell or the SCell based on the start of the slot on the SCell.
- User equipment (UE) receives information about the offset between the start of a frame on a primary cell (PCell) and a secondary cell (SCell).
- UE determines if a slot on the PCell is aligned with a slot on the SCell.
- UE identifies the slot on the SCell based on the offset.
- UE can communicate on either the PCell or the SCell based on the start of the slot on the SCell.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication systems using multiple component carriers.
- Improving synchronization and alignment between primary and secondary cells.
- Enhancing the efficiency and reliability of wireless communication.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures proper alignment and synchronization between primary and secondary cells.
- Allows for seamless communication between different component carriers.
- Reduces interference and improves overall performance of wireless communication systems.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved reliability and efficiency of wireless communication.
- Enhanced capacity and throughput in multi-carrier systems.
- Seamless handover between primary and secondary cells for uninterrupted communication.
Original Abstract Submitted
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive information identifying an offset between a start of a frame on a first component carrier and a start of a frame on a second component carrier, wherein the first component carrier is one of a primary cell (PCell) or a secondary cell (SCell), and wherein the second component carrier is the other of the PCell or the SCell; determine that a slot on the first component carrier is aligned with a slot on the second component carrier; identify the slot on the second component carrier in accordance with the offset; and communicate on the first component carrier or the second component carrier based at least in part on the start of the slot on the second component carrier. Numerous other aspects are provided.
