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 54):
An apparatus of an Master Evolved Node-B (MeNB) of a Master Cell Group (MCG), the apparatus comprising memory; and processing circuitry to:\n configure the MeNB 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 a user equipment (UE) is to use radio resources from the MeNB 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 encode first signaling for transmission to the UE in a first subframe, the first signaling including a first Master Information Block (MIB), wherein the first MIB includes a system frame number information element (IE); \n decode, from RRC signaling received from the UE, a subframe number and subframe timing difference (SSTD) measurement report for identification of a measurement gap, \n wherein the SSTD measurement report includes a subframe number (SFN) offset, a frame boundary offset, and a subframe boundary offset, \n wherein the SFN offset, the frame boundary offset, and the subframe boundary offset are calculated based on the first MIB and a second MIB, and \n wherein the second MIB is received by the UE in a second subframe from the SeNB and includes a system frame number IE; and \n determine a measurement gap based on the SSTD measurement report, and \n wherein the memory is configured to store the SSTD measurement report.
