Abstract

The present disclosure proposes a dynamic resource allocation mechanism for a user equipment and a base station having multiple connections. According to one of the exemplary embodiment, the present disclosure proposes a user equipment (UE) which includes at least but not limited to a transmitter and a receiver for transmitting and receiving data respectively and a processing circuit coupled to the transmitter and the receiver and is configured for establishing a first connection with a first base station by using the transmitter and the receiver, establishing a second connection with a second base station by using the transmitter and the receiver, receiving through the receiver a dynamic time division duplexing (TDD) subframe configuration from either the first base station and the second base station, wherein the dynamic TDD subframe configuration is not received from a system information block (SIB), and operating according to the dynamic TDD subframe configuration.
