Signaling of IDC problems

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for signaling of In-Device Coexistence (IDC) problems in uplink (UL) Carrier Aggregation (CA). Embodiments of a method in a User Equipment (UE) in communication with an Evolved Node B (eNB) are disclosed. In some embodiments, the method in the UE comprises sending an IDC indication to the eNB including information of problematic UL CA combinations. In this manner, the eNB is provided an indication from which the eNB can deduce which frequencies need to be avoided for UL CA.
