Abstract:
1. A method for communicating by an electronic device, the method comprising: performing wireless communications in a first frequency channel with a first frequency carrier device; performing wireless communications in a second frequency channel with an additional frequency carrier device; exchanging a capability message with a base station to inform the base station that the electronic device is able to utilize both the first frequency channel and the second frequency channel simultaneously as a single resource in downlink transmission; and communicating, by processing circuitry of the electronic device, with the base station in both the first frequency channel and the second frequency channel simultaneously in downlink communication, so as to provide the electronic device with increased communications capacity compared to another electronic device that is not capable of performing wireless communications in dual simultaneous channels; wherein said communicating by said processing circuitry includes utilizing a common signaling protocol in the first frequency channel and the second frequency channel.
