METHODS, APPARATUSES AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR CONFIGURING FREQUENCY AGGREGATION
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining, via a processor, that at least one secondary cell is to be deactivated based at least in part on at least one measurement of the secondary cell or receipt of information associated with a frequency spectrum of the secondary cell;
generating a deactivation message in response to the measurement indicating an interference with the secondary cell or the received information indicating that the frequency spectrum should no longer be used by a first device; and
enabling provision of the deactivation message to a network device.

Abstract
An apparatus for determining whether to deactivate a secondary cell includes a processor and memory storing executable computer program code that cause the apparatus to at least perform operations including determining that a secondary cell should be deactivated based on a measurement(s) of the secondary cell or received information associated with frequency spectrum of the secondary cell. The computer program code may cause the apparatus to generate a deactivation message responsive to the measurement(s) indicating secondary cell interference or the received information indicating that the apparatus should no longer use the frequency spectrum. The computer program code may cause the apparatus to provide the deactivation message to a network device. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.

8. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following; determine that at least one secondary cell is to be deactivated based at least in part on at least one measurement of the secondary cell or receipt of information associated with a frequency spectrum of the secondary cell; generate a deactivation message in response to the measurement indicating an interference with the secondary cell or the received information indicating that the frequency spectrum should no longer be used by the apparatus; and enable provision of the deactivation message to a network device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
