VIRTUAL CELL GROUPING FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17726792 Titled 'VIRTUAL CELL GROUPING FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It explains that a user equipment (UE) can receive control signaling from a network entity that configures a virtual cell group consisting of multiple cells. Each cell in the virtual cell group has a radio frequency spectrum band with a frequency gap that is larger than a certain threshold. The network entity can transmit additional control signaling to the UE, which includes information about the virtual cell group. This additional control signaling may include resource allocation information, allowing the UE to communicate through multiple shared channels using different cells in the virtual cell group. Alternatively, the additional control signaling may include a cancellation indication, prompting the UE to refrain from using one or more cells in the virtual cell group for communication.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling from a network entity configuring a virtual cell group with multiple cells, where each cell may have a radio frequency spectrum band with a frequency gap that exceeds an operating band threshold. The network entity may transmit additional control signaling including information for the virtual cell group. In some cases, the additional control signaling may include resource allocation information for the virtual cell group, such that the UE may communicate multiple shared channels via different cells in the virtual cell group using the resources indicated in the resource allocation information. In some other cases, the additional control signaling may include a cancellation indication for the virtual cell group, such that the UE may refrain from communicating signals using one or more cells of the virtual cell group.
