SIMULTANEOUS MULTIPLE SECONDARY CELL (SCELL) FAST ACTIVATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18101350 Titled 'SIMULTANEOUS MULTIPLE SECONDARY CELL (SCELL) FAST ACTIVATION'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a technology that allows multiple secondary cells (SCells) to be activated simultaneously in a wireless communications system. The system includes a user equipment (UE) that can activate multiple SCells at the same time. The UE receives an activation command and then receives two or more temporary reference signals (T-RSs) that are specific to the UE. These T-RSs are used for precise time and frequency tracking as well as automatic gain control (AGC) adjustment of the corresponding SCells. This results in faster activation of the SCells compared to traditional methods that use synchronization signals (SS) or physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block measurement timing configuration (SMTC).
Original Abstract Submitted
Some embodiments include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for simultaneous multiple secondary cell (SCell) fast activation in a wireless communications system. Some embodiments include a user equipment (UE) that can simultaneously activate multiple SCells. In some embodiments, after receiving an activation command, the UE can receive two or more temporary reference signals (T-RSs) which are user equipment (UE) specific reference signals. The UE can use the T-RSs for fine time/frequency (T/F) tracking and Automatic Gain Control (AGC) adjustment of corresponding SCells resulting in reduced SCell activation latency compared to utilizing a Synchronization Signal (SS)/Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) Block Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC).
