SECONDARY CELL ACTIVATION METHOD, ACCESS NETWORK DEVICE, AND COMMUNICATIONS APPARATUS AND SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18216949 Titled 'SECONDARY CELL ACTIVATION METHOD, ACCESS NETWORK DEVICE, AND COMMUNICATIONS APPARATUS AND SYSTEM'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method and apparatus for activating a secondary cell in a communication network. The method involves sending an activation command from an access network device to a terminal device, indicating the activation of the secondary cell. The access network device also sends configuration information and a reference signal to the terminal device. The reference signal is used to measure the channel of the secondary cell. This activation mechanism improves the efficiency of secondary cell activation in the network.
Original Abstract Submitted
A secondary cell activation method and apparatus relating to the communications field are described herein. The method may include sending, by an access network device, an activation command to a terminal device, where the activation command indicates activating a secondary cell. The method may also include sending, by the access network device, first configuration information of a first reference signal to the terminal device. Furthermore, the method may include sending, by the access network device, the first reference signal to the terminal device according to the first configuration information, where the first reference signal is used to obtain a channel measurement result of the secondary cell. According to secondary cell activation methods described herein, a flexible and efficient secondary cell activation mechanism can be provided, so as to improve secondary cell activation efficiency.
