METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

原文（中国語）

There is provided a communication device comprising: means for, based on receiving a configuration of two component carriers for non-contiguous intra-band carrier aggregation, performing measurements across a bandwidth between the two component carriers to determine first measurements, and means for performing measurements on the two component carriers to determine second measurements. The communication device comprises means for, based on the first and second measurements, switching from operating according to a first mode to a second mode, and means for activating a further component carrier, so that a receive chain that has become available due to the switching to the second mode is utilized for receiving the further component carrier. The communication device comprises means for, based on third measurements, switching to operate according to the first mode, such that the receive chain is no longer available, and means for sending an indication that the further component carrier has been de-activated.
