name: SCell
full_form: Secondary Cell
context: When a reconfiguration of the MAC entity is requested by upper layers, the MAC entity shall: - upon addition of an SCell, initialize the corresponding HARQ entity; - upon removal of an SCell, remove the corresponding HARQ entity; - for timers apply the new value when the timer is (re)started; - when counters are initialized apply the new maximum parameter value; - for other parameters, apply immediately the configurations received from upper layers.
description: A Secondary Cell (SCell) refers to a cell that is part of a carrier aggregation configuration in LTE and 5G networks. It is used in conjunction with a Primary Cell (PCell) to increase the bandwidth available to user equipment, thereby enhancing data transmission rates. The SCell plays a crucial role in managing radio resources and adapting to changes in network conditions or user requirements.
explanation: SCell is classified as a Network Function because it represents an operational component within the radio access network that contributes to the overall management of wireless communication services, aligning with the context provided which discusses its role in MAC entity reconfiguration.
