Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for flexible radio frequency (RF) utilization and switching. In some embodiments, carriers and/or panels are activated and deactivated at an apparatus as needed, to conserve power at the apparatus. Fast carrier activation and fast panel activation are provided, to reduce carrier activation delay and panel activation delay. Round robin patterns for obtaining carrier-specific measurement information and panel-specific measurement information are also provided, to further reduce carrier and panel activation delay. Further, RF chain and/or antenna switching between multiple carriers at the apparatus is provided to improve data throughput.
