MUSIM Gap Timing Requests Across Carrier Aggregation Cells

The patent segments the timing configuration into separate components: primary cell timing configuration and secondary cell timing configuration. Each cell group has its own timing parameters (system frame number, subframe number, gap length) that can be independently configured and managed, reducing the overall complexity of coordinating multiple USIMs across carrier aggregation and dual connectivity scenarios.

The patent implements dynamic timing adjustment where the gap length and timing parameters can be modified based on current network conditions and USIM operational requirements. The system can dynamically allocate timing resources between multiple USIMs in carrier aggregation and dual connectivity modes, optimizing performance while adapting to changing network demands.

The patent divides timing coordination into separate cell group configurations, where each cell group (primary cell and secondary cell) has its own timing parameters. This segmentation allows independent timing control for each cell group, reducing conflicts between USIMs while avoiding the complexity of unified timing coordination across all cells.

The patent introduces a gap length parameter as an intermediary mechanism that mediates timing conflicts between multiple USIMs. By configuring appropriate gap lengths between USIM operations in carrier aggregation and dual connectivity modes, the system coordinates timing without requiring complex centralized control, thus reducing overall coordination complexity.
