Abstract
A method of wireless communication includes communicating with a base station using an extended special subframe. Communicating with the base station using the extended special subframe may be performed by disabling an uplink pilot time slot and an adjacent uplink subframe.
Claims31
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- communicating with a base station using an extended special subframe by disabling an uplink pilot time slot and an adjacent uplink subframe.
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- detecting a position of a user equipment (UE) as being within a first extended cell radius or a second extended cell radius;
- and
- communicating with the UE using a special subframe that extends over an uplink pilot time slot and one or more disabled, adjacent uplink subframes.
An apparatus operable to provide wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor being operable:
- to communicate with a base station using an extended special subframe by disabling an uplink pilot time slot and an adjacent uplink subframe.
A computer program product operable to provide wireless communication, the computer program product comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code recorded thereon, the program code comprising:
- program code to communicate with a base station using an extended special subframe by disabling an uplink pilot time slot and an adjacent uplink subframe.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for identifying a user equipment (UE) location within an extended cell radius;
- and
- means for communicating with a base station using an extended special subframe by disabling an uplink pilot time slot and an adjacent uplink subframe.
An apparatus operable to provide wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor being operable:
- to detect a position of a user equipment (UE) as being within a first extended cell radius or a second extended cell radius;
- and
- to communicate with the UE using a special subframe that extends over an uplink pilot time slot and one or more disabled, adjacent uplink subframes.
A computer program product configured for wireless communications, the computer program product comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code recorded thereon, the program code comprising:
- program code to detect a position of a user equipment (UE) as being within a first extended cell radius or a second extended cell radius;
- and
- program code to communicate with the UE using a special subframe that extends over an uplink pilot time slot and one or more disabled, adjacent uplink subframes.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for detecting a position of a user equipment (UE) as being within a first extended cell radius or a second extended cell radius;
- and
- means for communicating with the UE using a special subframe that extends over an uplink pilot time slot and one or more disabled, adjacent uplink subframes.
