Abstract
A method of handling an on-off state of a cell for a communication device comprises receiving a first downlink (DL) control information (DCI) in a first subframe from a network, wherein the first DCI indicates at least one first on-off state of at least one first subframe of a first cell of the network; and determining an on-off state of a second subframe of the first cell according to the first DCI, wherein the at least one first subframe comprises the second subframe.
Claims12
A method of handling an on-off state of a cell for a communication device, the method comprising:
- receiving a first downlink (DL) control information (DCI) in a first subframe from a network, wherein the first DCI indicates at least one first on-off state of at least one second subframe of a first cell of the network, and the first subframe is not comprised in the at least one second subframe;
- determining an on-off state of a third subframe of the first cell according to the first DCI, wherein the at least one second subframe comprises the third subframe;
- performing a blind decoding on a DL control channel of the third subframe of the first cell, if the on-off state of the third subframe of the first cell is not indicated by any DCI in a previous subframe;
- and
- determining the on-off state of the third subframe of the first cell according to a decoding result of the blind decoding.
