UPLINK TRANSMIT SWITCHING ACROSS CARRIER AGGREGATION COMPONENT CARRIERS

摘要

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a user equipment (UE) providing a downlink interruption time to complete an uplink transmit switching operation to switch a transmit chain from a component carrier (CC) that utilizes FDD to a CC that utilizes TDD; initiating an uplink switching operation for an upcoming slot; receiving a SLIV value indicative of a start symbol value S for which the base station has scheduled a next downlink; determining, based on the start value, that downlink using the FDD CC is scheduled to be inhibited for a contiguous period of time including a transient time and the downlink interruption time; and uploading data via the second CC using the switched transmit chain and a second transmit chain, wherein uploading via the first component carrier is inhibited during the second period of time. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
