Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for adding and releasing secondary cells in a multi-cell connectivity configuration. In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) may transmit UE assistance information to a base station (BS) operating as a master cell in a multi-cell connectivity configuration. The UE assistance information may indicate a process that the BS is to use to add a secondary cell to the multi-cell connectivity configuration, may indicate a time gap for adding a secondary cell after another secondary cell is released from the multi-cell connectivity configuration, as well as other multi-cell connectivity configuration information. The BS may receive the UE assistance information and may add a secondary cell to the multi-cell connectivity configuration based at least in part on the indicated process and time gap.
