The transmitting of the determined actual or improved maximum sensitivity degradation from the user equipment may comprise measurement reporting of the determined actual or improved maximum sensitivity degradation from the user equipment with cross band transmit-to-receive degradation. The apparatus may further comprise means for measuring a Signal-To-Interference-Plus-Noise Ratio in a downlink receive signal when simultaneous transmission on one or more uplinks is present. The apparatus may further comprise means for receiving with the user equipment from a network at least one new defined bandwidth combination set which is linked with the determined improved maximum sensitivity degradation.

FIG. 9 illustrates the potential steps of an example embodiment. In accordance with another aspect, an example method 900 may be provided comprising: receiving by a network equipment an indication of a determined actual or improved maximum sensitivity degradation from a user equipment 920; and using the information received from the user equipment to assist in scheduling decisions by the network equipment 940. Optionally, the example method may further comprise transmitting an explicit request for the indication of the determined actual or improved maximum sensitivity degradation 910, where the receiving for the indication is in response to the explicit request. Optionally, the example method may further comprise transmitting to the user equipment with the network equipment a new defined bandwidth combination set which is linked with the determined improved maximum sensitivity degradation 930.

It should be noted that the order of the steps of the example method may vary, and that the example method may comprise fewer or additional steps.
