STATISTICS-ASSISTED SCELL SELECTION

摘要

Systems and methods for Secondary Cell (sCell) selection for wireless devices operating according to a carrier aggregation scheme in a cellular communications network are disclosed. More specifically, in some embodiments, a statistics-assisted sCell selection process is utilized for sCell selection. This statistics-assisted sCell selection process improves the efficiency of sCell selection, particularly where there are multiple candidate sCells on multiple carrier frequencies.

主权项

1. A method of operating a network node to provide secondary cell, sCell, selection, comprising:
collecting statistics indicative of correlation between one or more source cells and one or more successful and/or non-successful sCells for each of the one or more source cells; and performing sCell selection based on the statistics.
