USER EQUIPMENT (UE) CAPABILITY SIGNALING FOR PHYSICAL UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL (PUCCH) CELL SWITCHING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18078867 Titled 'USER EQUIPMENT (UE) CAPABILITY SIGNALING FOR PHYSICAL UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL (PUCCH) CELL SWITCHING'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a method of wireless communication using a user equipment (UE). The UE has the capability to switch between different bands for transmitting control signals. The method involves reporting this capability to the network. The UE can support multiple pairs of band types for this purpose. Each band type in a pair can be used for transmitting control signals. The method also involves transmitting a first control signal using a selected band type from the available pairs. The UE can then switch to a different band type from the same pair to transmit a second control signal.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of wireless communication, by a user equipment (UE), includes reporting a UE capability for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) cell switching. The UE capability includes at least one pair of band types capable of supporting PUCCH cell switching. Each band type of the at least one pair of band types supports PUCCH cell transmission. The method also includes transmitting a first PUCCH with a first band type selected from the at least one pair of band types. The method further includes switching to a second band type selected from the at least one pair of band types, for transmitting a second PUCCH.
