Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 28:
29. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
means for detecting a beam switching event;
means for switching, in response to the beam switching event, a beam for communications on a first active component carrier (CC) associated with a first serving cell, wherein switching the beam has an associated beam switching delay; and
means for applying a beam switch interruption time across one or more second active CCs associated with one or more second serving cells if the beam switching delay exceeds a threshold value, the one or more second serving cells having a common frequency band with the first serving cell, wherein the means for applying the beam switch interruption time across the one or more second active CCs comprises means for determining that a portion of a symbol that partially overlaps the beam switch interruption time is invalid, the symbol having been received via the one or more second active CCs, and the portion of the symbol being smaller than the symbol; and
means for avoiding application of the beam switch interruption time across a third active CC associated with a third serving cell, the third serving cell having a different frequency band than the common frequency band for the first serving cell and the one or more second serving cells.
