Question: What does a UE's support for multiple UL/DL SPS configurations simultaneously active on different serving cells primarily enable in a 5G network?
Option 1: Concurrent voice and data transmission on the same serving cell.
Option 2: Handover between two different Radio Access Technologies (RATs).
Option 3: Simultaneous connection to multiple base stations for improved coverage.
Option 4: Utilization of Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) across multiple serving cells for efficient resource allocation.
Explanation: This feature allows a User Equipment (UE) to have multiple Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) configurations active at the same time but on different serving cells. SPS is a technique used in LTE and beyond for efficient scheduling of resources, particularly beneficial for periodic traffic (e.g., VoLTE, IoT). By supporting multiple UL/DL SPS configurations across different serving cells, the UE can efficiently manage resources when connected to multiple cells (e.g., in CA - Carrier Aggregation scenarios), enhancing overall network resource utilization and user experience.
