Uplink (UL) frequency-division duplex (FDD) subframe

An apparatus configured for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:

• a transceiver;
• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver and the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• generate a subframe comprising control information;
• and
• utilize the transceiver to transmit the control information in uplink (UL) communication at a frequency range different from a frequency range of downlink (DL) communication, the transmitting the control information comprising:
• transmitting channel quality indicator (CQI) information prior to a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS);
• and
• transmitting acknowledgement (ACK) information subsequent to a second DMRS, the second DMRS being subsequent to the first DMRS.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code comprising instructions configured to:

• generate a subframe comprising control information;
• and
• transmit the control information in uplink (UL) communication at a frequency range different from a frequency range of downlink (DL) communication, the transmitting the control information comprising:
• transmitting channel quality indicator (CQI) information prior to a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS);
• and
• transmitting acknowledgement (ACK) information subsequent to a second DMRS, the second DMRS being subsequent to the first DMRS.

A method of wireless communication, the method comprising:

• receiving control information in uplink (UL) communication at a frequency range different from a frequency range of downlink (DL) communication, the receiving the control information comprising:
• receiving channel quality indicator (CQI) information prior to a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS);
• receiving acknowledgement (ACK) information subsequent to a second DMRS, the second DMRS being subsequent to the first DMRS;
• and
• processing a subframe comprising the received control information.
