Claim 14:
15. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a base station of a telecommunication network, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a UE report, wherein the UE report includes a radio condition metric and a position of the UE relative to the base station;
determining the radio condition metric and the position indicated by the UE report;
determining whether the radio condition metric and the position indicated by the UE report satisfy a two-layer uplink criteria;
based on determining that the radio condition metric and the position satisfy the two-layer uplink criteria, causing the UE to use a two-layer uplink configuration instead of an uplink carrier aggregation (CA) configuration for uplink transmissions to the base station; and
based on determining that the radio condition metric and the position do not satisfy the two-layer uplink criteria, causing the UE to use the uplink CA configuration instead of the two-layer uplink configuration for the uplink transmissions to the base station.
