ENHANCED ANTENNA MANAGEMENT FOR UPLINK OPERATION UNDER CARRIER AGGRESGATION IN LTE

摘要

A method of wireless communications includes configuring, by a user equipment (UE), uplink (UL) transmissions on one or more UL component carriers (CCs) by assigning one or more UE transmit antennas to each of the one or more CCs as a function of the number of UL CCs simultaneously involved in the UL transmissions. The method additionally includes transmitting the UL transmissions on the configured one or more CCs. In other aspects, a method of wireless communications includes scheduling, by a base station and for a UE, UL transmissions on one or more CCs based on a number of UL transmit antennas of the UE and as a function of a number of UL CCs simultaneously involved in the UL transmissions. The method additionally includes receiving at least one of the UL transmissions on at least one of the scheduled one or more CCs.
