Techniques and apparatuses for device-to-device communication using an active secondary component carrier communication chain
First Claim
1. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment, comprising:
- determining whether at least one frequency band, designated for device-to-device communication of the user equipment, is associated with an active secondary component carrier (SCC) of the user equipment;
selecting a first communication chain of the user equipment for the device-to-device communication based at least in part on whether the at least one frequency band is associated with the active SCC,wherein, when the at least one frequency band is associated with the active SCC, the first communication chain is selected to be a communication chain associated with the active SCC; and
performing the device-to-device communication using the first communication chain.

Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may determine whether at least one frequency band, designated for device-to-device communication of the user equipment, is associated with an active SCC of the user equipment; and selectively perform the device-to-device communication using a particular communication chain of the user equipment based at least in part on whether the at least one frequency band is associated with the active SCC, wherein the particular communication chain is tuned to the at least one frequency band for communication using the active SCC. Numerous other aspects are provided.
