User equipment component carrier allocation
First Claim
1. A method for configuring a component carrier (CC) in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a user equipment (UE) in the wireless communication network, a CC configuration for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), using a signaling protocol, wherein at least one CC is assigned for the PDSCH using a semi-static configuration; and
receiving, by the user equipment, a CC configuration for a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) associated with the PDSCH, using the signaling protocol and the semi-static configuration of the PDSCH,wherein the CC configuration for the PDSCH is based on a traffic load for the UE in the wireless communication network, andwherein a number of assigned CCs for the PDSCH is increased to support an increase in a transmission data rate for the UE.

Abstract
A method for configuring at least one component carrier (CC) for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The method includes receiving a CC configuration using a signaling protocol, wherein the CC is assigned using a semi-static configuration. Also included is a user equipment (UE) comprising a processor configured to receive a CC configuration for at least one CC for a PDSCH using a signaling protocol, wherein the CC is assigned using a semi-static configuration. Also included is an access node comprising a processor configured to transmit a CC configuration for at least one CC for a PDSCH using a signaling protocol, wherein the CC is assigned using a semi-static configuration.
