Device and method of handling communication operations in a licensed frequency band and an unlicensed frequency band
First Claim
1. A communication device for handling communication operations in a licensed frequency band and a plurality of unlicensed frequency bands, comprising:
- a data storage device for storing instructions of;
performing a WiFi communication operation on a first carrier in a first unlicensed frequency band;
receiving a message from a network for indicating the communication device to perform a first cellular communication operation with the network on a second carrier in the first unlicensed frequency band;
performing the first cellular communication operation with the network according to the message; and
switching the WiFi communication operation from the first carrier in the first unlicensed frequency band to a third carrier in a second unlicensed frequency band in response to the message, after performing the first cellular communication operation on the second carrier in the first unlicensed frequency band; and
a processing circuit, coupled to the data storage device, configured to execute the instructions stored in the data storage device.
