  • Patent number: 10841941
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) configured with several component carriers (CCs) may select one or more CCs for fast activation. The UE may, in various examples, autonomously select the CCs for fast activation or may receive signaling indicating such CCs. In some cases, the UE may place the selected CCs in a semi-active state by detecting and synchronizing the CCs while refraining from control channel monitoring. In other examples, the UE may identify a set of CCs that may be activated quickly based on channel conditions or that have activation interdependency, such as CCs in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group. The UE may then trigger an activation for one of the selected CCs, determine it is capable of fast activation, and begin monitoring, e.g., for control information, after a reduced delay period based on the fast activation.

  • Patent number: 10827402
    Abstract: In a Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) radio, networking circuitry transfers MU-MIMO target information to a neighbor radio. The neighbor radio processes the MU-MIMO target information to propose User Equipment (UEs) for handover from the neighbor radio to the MU-MIMO radio. In the MU-MIMO radio, transceiver circuitry determines MU-MIMO channel characteristics for the UEs. Based on their MU-MIMO channel characteristics, the networking circuitry selects some of the UEs from the handover proposals and rejects the other UEs. The transceiver circuitry wirelessly transfers handover acceptance signals to the selected UEs. The transceiver circuitry wirelessly transfers handover rejection signals to the rejected UEs. The transceiver circuitry wirelessly transfers user data to the selected UEs using MU-MIMO.
