METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR RESOLVING AMBIGUOUS USER EQUIPMENT (UE) CAPABILITY SIGNALING

摘要

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to resolving ambiguous user equipment (UE) capability signaling. According to certain aspects, a method for wireless communications by a UE is provided. The method generally includes determining capabilities of the UE to support at least one of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) or coordinated multipoint (CoMP) features on different operating frequency bands of a radio access network (RAN), signaling, to a base station (BS) of the RAN, a first combination of capabilities of the UE for a combination of bands, signaling, to the BS, a second combination of capabilities, different than the first combination of capabilities, for the combination of bands, and identifying, based on or more criteria, a particular combination of capabilities to be used to communicate with the BS. In certain aspects, the UE may identify the combination of capabilities to use by applying a deterministic rule.

1. A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
determining capabilities of the UE to support at least one of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) or coordinated multipoint (CoMP) features on different operating frequency bands of a radio access network (RAN); signaling, to a base station (BS) of the RAN, a first combination of capabilities of the UE for a combination of bands; signaling, to the BS, a second combination of capabilities, different than the first combination of capabilities, for the combination of bands; and identifying, based on one or more criteria, a particular combination of capabilities to be used to communicate with the BS.
