Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for reducing a quantity of data sent carrier aggregation (CA) related capability reporting by a UE operating in a cell using full dimension multiple-input multiple-output (FD-MIMO) techniques. In an exemplary method, a base station obtains a relative weight of baseband processing for a component carrier (CC) configured for full-dimension multiple-input multiple-output (FD-MIMO) communications for a user equipment (UE); determines, based on the relative weight, to enable FD-MIMO downlink (DL) transmissions to the UE via the CC; and transmits an FD-MIMO transmission via the CC to the UE.
