TECHNIQUES FOR USING CARRIER AGGREGATION IN DUAL CONNECTIVITY WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to procedures for aggregation in dual connectivity. In one aspect, a wireless device may receive configuration information to communicate with a first network entity (e.g., master eNodeB) through a first primary cell (PCell) of a corresponding group of cells of the first network entity, and with a second network entity (e.g., secondary eNodeB) through a second primary cell (PCellSCG) of a corresponding group of cells of the second network entity. The second network entity may be non-collocated with the first network entity. The wireless device may include an information convergence entity (e.g., PDCP entity) that aggregates the configuration information from the first and second network entities when the wireless device is in communication with both entities. In another aspect, the second network entity may have one of the cells in the corresponding group of cells operate as the second primary cell.

主权项

1. A method for aggregating data in wireless communications, the method comprising:
receiving, at a wireless device, first configuration information to communicate with a first network entity through a first primary cell of the first network entity; receiving, at the wireless device, second configuration information to communicate with a second network entity through a second primary cell of the second network entity; and aggregating, at an information convergence entity in the wireless device, the first configuration information from the first network entity and the second configuration information from the second network entity when the wireless device is in communication with the first network entity and the second network entity.
