User equipment (UE) and method for reporting to the network an indication that a single physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group having a plurality of component carriers (CC) using more than four numerologies across the CCs is supported
A user equipment (UE) may report physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group capabilities to a network. The UE receives a request from a network for radio access capability information and reports whether a single PUCCH group having a plurality of component carriers (CC) using more than two numerologies across the CCs is supported. The UE may also receive a request from a network for radio access capability information and report whether a PUCCH group having a plurality of CC across multiple frequency bands is supported, wherein the report is configured per band combination (BC). The UE may also receive a request from a network for radio access capability information and report support for a PUCCH location configuration for a PUCCH group having a plurality of CC across multiple frequency bands, the PUCCH location configuration indicating which bands in a band combination (BC) may be used for the PUCCH.
1 . One or more processors configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving a request from a network for radio access capability information; and
reporting to the network an indication that a single physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group having a plurality of component carriers (CC) using more than four numerologies across the CCs is supported, without indicating that that a single PUCCH group with three numerologies across the CCs is supported.
2 . The one or more processors of claim 1 , wherein the report is configured per band combination (BC).
3 . The one or more processors of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
reporting to the network whether a single PUCCH group including an unlicensed band together with a licensed band is supported.
4 . The one or more processors of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
reporting to the network whether more than one timing advance group (TAG) within a single PUCCH group is supported.
5 . The one or more processors of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
reporting to the network whether a PUCCH group configuration is supported for release 15 (Rel-15).
6 . The one or more processors of claim 1 , wherein the report is configured per user equipment (UE).
7 . The one or more processors of claim 1 , wherein the report is configured per feature set (FS).
8 . A method, comprising:
at a user equipment (UE):
receiving a request from a network for radio access capability information; and
reporting to the network an indication that a single physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group having a plurality of component carriers (CC) using more than four numerologies across the CCs is supported, without indicating that that a single PUCCH group with three numerologies across the CCs is supported.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the report is configured per band combination (BC).
10 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
reporting to the network whether a single PUCCH group including an unlicensed band together with a licensed band is supported.
11 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
reporting to the network whether more than one timing advance group (TAG) within a single PUCCH group is supported.
12 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
reporting to the network whether a PUCCH group configuration is supported for release 15 (Rel-15).
13 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the report is configured per UE.
14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the report is configured per feature set (FS).
15 . An apparatus comprising processing circuitry coupled to a memory, the processing circuitry configured to perform operation, comprising:
receiving a request from a network for radio access capability information; and
reporting to the network an indication that a single physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group having a plurality of component carriers (CC) using more than four numerologies across the CCs is supported, without indicating that that a single PUCCH group with three numerologies across the CCs is supported.
16 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the report is configured per band combination (BC), per user equipment (UE) or per feature set (FS).
17 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprising:
reporting to the network whether a single PUCCH group including an unlicensed band together with a licensed band is supported.
18 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprising:
reporting to the network whether more than one timing advance group (TAG) within a single PUCCH group is supported.
19 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprising:
reporting to the network whether a PUCCH group configuration is supported for release 15 (Rel-15).
