Assignee: QUALCOMM INCORPORATED
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 21:
22. A network entity for wireless communication comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
detect a beam switching event causing a beam switch at a user equipment (UE) for communications on a first active component carrier (CC) associated with a first serving cell, wherein the beam switch has an associated beam switching delay;
apply a beam switch interruption time across one or more second active CCs associated with one or more second serving cells when communicating with the UE 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 to apply the beam switch interruption time across the one or more second active CCs, the one or more processors are configured to determine 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
avoid 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.
