Abstract

A base station of a telecommunication network can determine whether a user equipment (UE) should use a two-layer uplink configuration or an uplink carrier aggregation (CA) configuration for uplink transmissions to the base station, based on radio condition metrics reported by the UE to the base station. If radio condition metrics reported by the UE satisfy two-layer uplink criteria, the base station can instruct the UE to switch to using the two-layer uplink configuration. If radio condition metrics reported by the UE do not satisfy the two-layer uplink criteria, the base station can instruct the UE to switch to using the uplink CA configuration.
