Abstract:
In embodiments, a UE may measure system frame number (SFN)/subframe timing differences between a master eNB (MeNB) and secondary eNB (SeNB) for dual connectivity (DC). When network-based reporting on the SFN/subframe timing offset is used, no new radio access network (RAN) signaling may be needed. However, in the case of multi-vendor deployments, no network coordination via different Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) for DC may occur. In this case, the network may not be able to obtain SFN/subframe timing offset information. To address this issue, various embodiments disclosed herein include UE-based reporting on SFN/subframe offset between an MeNB and an SeNB.
