INTER-ENB COORDINATION METHODS TO SUPPORT INTER-ENB CARRIER AGGREGATION FOR LTE-ADVANCED

摘要

Various inter-eNodeB (eNB) coordination methods and systems are disclosed. For example, in one approach, a user equipment (UE) configured to communicate with a plurality of eNodeBs (eNBs). Each of the plurality of eNBs are configured to receive and transmit coordination information from other eNBs identifying how uplink control information (UCI) data of the UE should be transmitted. The UE includes processing circuitry. When the UE is configured with more than one serving cell for inter-eNodeB (eNB) Carrier Aggregation (CA), the processing circuitry is not configured for simultaneous physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmissions.
