CARRIER SELECTION IN THE DISTRIBUTIVE DUAL BAND CARRIER AGGREGATION SYSTEM

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus, methods, processing systems, and computer readable mediums for channel selection in systems that utilize both licensed and unlicensed frequency bands. As will be described in greater detail below, user equipments (UEs) that share unlicensed frequency band may select a channel in an unlicensed frequency band and advertise their channel selection over a licensed frequency band, in an effort to coordinate communications other UEs. An example method may include selecting at least a first channel within an unlicensed band for communications with at least a second UE, and transmitting, on a licensed band, an indication of the first channel and location information for the selection.
