Abstract

Technology for an eNodeB operable to maintain timing advance groups (TAGs) is disclosed. The eNodeB can form a timing advance group (TAG) for one or more serving cells. The eNodeB can map each of the one or more serving cells to the TAG using signaling from the eNodeB. The eNodeB can assign a timing advance group identifier (TAG ID) to the one or more serving cells mapped to the TAG.
