Multiband eMBMS enhancement using carrier aggregation
First Claim
1. A method of wireless communication of a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving at least one of paging signals or a unicast communication on a first frequency from a first cell of a serving evolved Node B (eNB) through a first receive chain;
receiving, autonomously by the UE, at least one of a system information block 13 (SIB13) or a multicast control channel (MCCH) on a second frequency from a second cell of the serving eNB through a second receive chain;
determining to receive a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) service on the second frequency through the second receive chain based on at least one of the SIB13 or the MCCH received from the second cell of the serving eNB on the second frequency;
receiving, autonomously by the UE, the MBMS service on the second frequency through the second receive chain; and
performing, after the receiving autonomously the at least one of the SIB13 or MCCH and the receiving autonomously the MBMS service, a mobility procedure from the first cell of the serving eNB to the second cell of the serving eNB, wherein the UE receives the at least one of the paging signals or the unicast communication on the second cell of the serving eNB following the mobility procedure.

Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE receives at least one of a unicast or a broadcast/multicast communication on a first frequency from a first cell of a serving eNB through a first receive chain. In addition, the UE receives at least one of broadcast/multicast signal, synchronization signal, or reference signal communication on a second frequency from a second cell of the serving eNB through a second receive chain without having received instruction from the serving eNB to receive the at least one of the broadcast/multicast signal, the synchronization signal, or the reference signal communication.
