SYNCHRONIZED PHYSICAL LAYER RECONFIGURATION AMONG USER EQUIPMENT, MACROCELL, AND SMALL CELL IN MACROCELL-ASSISTED SMALL CELL DEPLOYMENTS

摘要

Various communication systems may benefit from synchronized physical layer reconfiguration among user equipment, macrocell and small cell in macrocell-assisted small cell deployments. A method may include dynamically changing a physical layer configuration of transmission of uplink control information in a network. The method may also include applying the dynamic change of the physical layer configuration between at least one user equipment and at least two transmitting devices The method may also include performing random access channel procedures for a physical layer reconfiguration between at least one user equipment and at least two transmitting devices.
