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 49):
A computer-readable hardware storage device that stores instructions for execution by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), the instructions to configure the one or more processors 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 instructions are to configure the one or more processors 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 M eNB, 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.
