Dividing the 2.16 GHz unlicensed channel into aligned subchannels helps mixed-bandwidth UEs coexist while reducing uncorrelated interference.
Preconfigured trigger states let a UE receive SCell activation reference signals sooner, reducing activation delay, resource use, and communication errors.
A UE adjusts the number of bits in CQI reports to the reported subband count, improving resource allocation and reducing unnecessary transmission.
