    Abstract: An electronic device may include wireless circuitry. The wireless circuitry may include one or more antenna arrays coupled to baseband processing circuitry by parallel radio-frequency signal (receive) chains. To more efficiently perform beam measurements, and thereby more efficiently determine cell status, beam measurements may be performed by the radio-frequency receive chains in a parallel manner. If desired, beam measurements for one or more inter-frequency and/or intra-frequency layers may each be parallelized. If desired, beam measurements during a discontinuous reception mode of operation may be parallelized.

    Abstract: Techniques described herein may be used to enable User Equipment (UE) to efficiently and reliably report supported band combinations to a wireless network. An enhanced NodeB (eNB) may determine eNB-supported bands combinations for carrier aggregation scenarios, create a simplified representation of the eNB-supported bands combinations (e.g., using a highest order band combination, groups of band combinations, etc.), and communicate the eNB-supported bands combinations to the UE. The UE may determine UE-supported band combinations that are among the eNB-supported bands combinations, create a simplified representation of the UE-supported band combinations, and communicate the eNB-supported bands combinations to the eNB. The eNB may use the UE-supported band combinations to allocate appropriate carriers to the UE for carrier aggregation.
