Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 10:
11. A method, implemented in a wireless communication network, of determining an uplink (UL) access scheme for use by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
identifying a first frequency band of a first UL component carrier (CC) and a second frequency band of a second UL CC,
wherein the first frequency band and the second frequency band are scheduled for use by the UE for concurrent UL transmissions;

identifying a third frequency band of a downlink (DL) CC, wherein the third frequency band is scheduled for use by the UE for DL transmissions; and,
determining, based on the first frequency band, the second frequency band, and the third frequency band, an UL access scheme for use by the UE for the concurrent UL transmissions;
wherein the determining of the UL access scheme for use by the UE for the concurrent UL transmissions based on the first frequency band, the second frequency band, and the third frequency band is based on a frequency of an intermodulation distortion (IMD) product of at least the first frequency band and the second frequency band;
wherein the determining of the UL access scheme for use by the UE for the concurrent UL transmissions based on the first frequency band, the second frequency band, and the third frequency band, comprises:
querying a memory in the wireless communication network;
wherein the query includes the first frequency band, the second frequency band, and the third frequency band; and,

receiving a query response, wherein the query response identifies the UL access scheme for use by the UE for the concurrent UL transmissions, and
wherein the query response relates to a risk for an IMD product at the third frequency band for the DL transmissions.
