Abstract:
Embodiments of a user equipment (UE) for reporting of timing offset for dual connectivity enhancement are disclosed herein. The UE can include transceiver circuitry to connect to a master cell group via a master evolved node B (eNB) and a secondary cell group via a secondary eNB. Additionally, the UE can receive a first reference signal from the master eNB and a second reference signal from a secondary eNB. Moreover, the UE can include processing circuitry to calculate a system frame number (SFN) and subframe timing difference (SSTD) based on the first reference signal and the second reference signal. Moreover, the UE can generate a measurement report having a synchronization indicator for dual connectivity based on the calculated SSTD. Subsequently, the UE can send the generated measurement report to the master eNB.

Claim (Index 43):
An apparatus of a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising memory; and processing circuitry to:\n configure the UE for an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) Dual Connectivity (DC) operation, wherein during the DC operation, in a radio resource control (RRC) connected mode the UE is configured to use radio resources from a Master Evolved Node-B (MeNB) of a Master Cell Group (MCG) and a Secondary Evolved Node-B (SeNB) of a Secondary Cell Group (SCG), and wherein as part of the DC operation, the processing circuitry is configured to:\n decode first signaling received in a first subframe from the MeNB, the first signaling including a first M aster Information Block (MIB); \n decode second signaling received in a second subframe from the SeNB, the second signaling including a second MIB, wherein the first MIB and the second MIB each include a system frame number information element (IE); \n calculate, based on the first MIB and the second MIB, a subframe number (SFN) offset between the MeNB and the SeNB, a frame boundary offset between the MeNB and the SeNB, and a subframe boundary offset between the MeNB and the SeNB; \n generate a SFN and subframe timing difference (SSTD) measurement report including the SFN offset, the frame boundary offset, and the subframe boundary offset; \n encode RRC signaling for transmission to the MeNB, the RRC signaling including the SSTD measurement report for identification of a measurement gap; and \n configure transceiver circuitry to transmit the RRC signaling including the SSTD measurement report, to the MeNB, and \n wherein the memory is configured to store the SSTD measurement report.
