Abstract
Maintaining uplink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) compatibility with extended radio frames includes partitioning subframe groups over an extended radio frame having a length of time greater than a time defined for a single radio frame. User equipment (UE) suspends PUSCH (physical uplink shared channel) retransmission in the extended radio frame, in accordance with hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) timing of a subframe group assigned to the UE.
Claims26
A method for wireless communication comprising:
- partitioning subframe groups over an extended radio frame, the extended radio frame having a length of time greater than a time defined for a single radio frame;
- and
- suspending, by a user equipment (UE), PUSCH (physical uplink shared channel) retransmission in the extended radio frame, in accordance with hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) timing of a subframe group assigned to the UE.
A method for wireless communication comprising:
- receiving frequency division multiplexing (FDM) channel information, at a user equipment (UE), transmitted in one of a data region of an extended radio frame and a multiple broadcast multimedia services single frequency network (MBSFN) subframe within the extended radio frame, the extended radio frame having a length of time greater than a time defined for a single radio frame;
- and
- retransmitting a PUSCH (physical uplink shared channel) in accordance with the received FDM channel information, the retransmitting occurring in accordance with hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) timing within the extended radio frame.
A system for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor being configured:
- to partition subframe groups over an extended radio frame, the extended radio frame having a length of time greater than a time defined for a single radio frame;
- and
- to suspend, PUSCH (physical uplink shared channel) retransmission in the extended radio frame, in accordance with hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) timing of a subframe group assigned to a UE.
