MANAGING FIFTH GENERATION (5G) NEW RADIO (NR) ANTENNA-SWITCHING CONCURRENCY

Abstract:

A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) is presented. The UE may include one or more antennas which are shared between a first network connection and a second network connection in a dual connectivity mode. The method includes reporting a first sounding reference signal (SRS) antenna-switching capability to a base station. The method also includes transmitting an SRS to the base station via a second SRS antenna-switching capability when the first network connection has priority over the second network connection, where the second SRS antenna-switching capability is reduced with respect to the first SRS antenna-switching capability.
