Uplink Inter-Site Carrier Aggregation Based on UE Transmission Power and Secondary Cell Load

摘要

A method for use in a user equipment, including transferring data to the base station of a first cell (A1); sending an uplink scheduling request to the base station of a second cell (A3) in dependence on the condition that the user equipment has sufficient transmission power for performing inter-site carrier aggregation (A2); receiving an uplink resource allocation message from the base station of the second cell (A5) if the load of the second cell satisfies predetermined conditions (A4); transferring data to the base stations of the first and second cells via carrier aggregation (A6).

主权项

1. A method comprising:
causing a request for allocation of resources to be sent from a user equipment to a second cell, said user equipment being in communication with at least one first cell such that carrier aggregation is provided when said user equipment is in communication with said second cell and said at least one first cell, said request being sent in dependence on at least one condition.
