SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A LICENSED SHARED ACCESS RADIO

摘要

Embodiments described herein relate generally to a communication between a user equipment (“UE”) and a plurality of evolved Node Bs (“eNBs”). A UE may be adapted to operate in a dual connectivity mode on respective wireless cells provided by first and second eNBs. The UE may communicate with a first eNB in a first frequency band. The UE may communicate with a second eNB in a second frequency band. The first eNB may detect that the second frequency band is unavailable. Based on this detection, the first eNB may notify the UE that communication in the second frequency band is no longer available. In response, the UE may control a radio to cease communication in the second frequency band. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

主权项

1. User equipment (“UE”) circuitry comprising:
first communications circuitry to operate on a first wireless cell, associated with a first frequency band, provided by a master evolved Node B (“eNB”); second communications circuitry to operate on a second wireless cell, associated with a second frequency band, provided by a secondary eNB; and processing circuitry, coupled with the first communications circuitry and the second communications circuitry, to control the second communications circuitry to operate on the second wireless cell simultaneous with the operation of the first communications circuitry on the first wireless cell, to detect availability of the second frequency band based on communication with the master eNB, and to cause the second communications circuitry to transition to a low-power state based on a detection that the second frequency band is unavailable.
