METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DUAL CONNECTIVITY OPERATION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK |
摘要 |
Dual-connectivity for the User Equipment (UE) in a cellular network is performed by monitoring a plurality of cells. During dual-connectivity, the UE may be simultaneously connected to one serving cell for the Control Plane (C-plane) and to another serving cell, controlled by a different eNodeB, for the User Plane (U-plane). In another embodiment, the dual-connected UE monitors a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) from the first eNB and monitors an EPDCCH from the second eNB. |

1. A method, comprising:
configuring a user equipment (UE) in a cellular network for reception of waveforms from, or transmission of waveforms to, more than one base station (eNB) in the cellular network transmitting in overlapping or non-overlapping wireless spectrum; and designating one of the respective base stations for transmission/reception of common and dedicated radio resource control (RRC) and non-access stratum (NAS) signaling. |
