Abstract

Divers aspects de la présente divulgation portent en général sur le domaine des communications sans fil. Selon certains aspects, un équipement utilisateur (UE) peut établir une connexion avec un nœud de réseau. L'UE peut recevoir, pendant que l'UE est configuré pour transmettre sur une première bande de fréquences et une deuxième bande de fréquences, une ou plusieurs autorisations de liaison montante qui planifient une première transmission de liaison montante sur une troisième bande de fréquences et une seconde transmission de liaison montante sur une quatrième bande de fréquences, la première transmission de liaison montante et la seconde transmission de liaison montante se chevauchant dans le temps, et la ou les autorisations de liaison montante étant reçues à un instant qui n'est pas ultérieur à un décalage d'un instant de début le plus précoce de la première transmission de liaison montante et de la seconde transmission de liaison montante, le décalage étant basé au moins en partie sur la troisième bande de fréquences et la quatrième bande de fréquences. La divulgation concerne en outre de nombreux autres aspects.
