UPLINK CONFIGURATION AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL IN INTER-SITE CARRIER AGGREGATION
First Claim
1. A method comprisingsetting a configuration of uplink control information for a macro cell located at a first site, andsignaling, via the macro cell, the configuration of uplink control information for the macro cell and configuration information for a micro cell located at a second site to a terminal device for an inter-site carrier aggregation mode in which carriers from the macro cell and the micro cell are aggregated for uplink communication.

Abstract
There are provided measures for uplink configuration and transmission control in inter-site carrier aggregation. Such measures may exemplarily comprise measures for controlling configuration of a terminal device for an inter-site carrier aggregation mode, in which carriers from a macro cell and a micro cell are aggregated for uplink communication, with a configuration of uplink control information for the macro cell located at a first site and a configuration of uplink control information for the micro cell located at a second site, and/or measures for controlling transmission of a terminal device in the inter-site carrier aggregation mode with a handling of concurrent uplink transmissions at the terminal device.
