Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus determines whether a timing offset between a PCC and an SCC possibly exceeds a threshold. In addition, the apparatus switches an amplifier gain utilizing one of a first set of gain states or a second set of gain states based on the determination that the timing offset possibly exceeds the threshold. The first set of gain states includes a first number of gain states, and the second set of gain states includes a second number of gain states less than the first number of gain states.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of amplifier gain switching, comprising: determining whether a timing offset between a primary component carrier (PCC) and a secondary component carrier (SCC) possibly exceeds a threshold; and switching an amplifier gain utilizing one of a first set of gain states or a second set of gain states based on the determination that the timing offset possibly exceeds the threshold, the first set of gain states comprising a first number of gain states and…
