Abstract
A method of wireless communication includes communicating with a base station using a special subframe that extends a guard period over an uplink pilot time slot and one or more disabled, adjacent uplink subframes. The method also includes associating a control information subframe with a specific downlink subframe while accounting for both cell radius extension and loss of the one or more disabled, adjacent uplink subframes used to communicate the extended special subframe.

A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- communicating with a base station using a special subframe that extends a guard period over an uplink pilot time slot and one or more disabled, adjacent uplink subframes;
- and
- associating a control information subframe with a specific downlink subframe while accounting for both cell radius extension and loss of the one or more disabled, adjacent uplink subframes used to communicate the extended special subframe.
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- communicating with a user equipment (UE) using a special subframe that extends over a guard period over an uplink pilot time slot and one or more disabled, adjacent uplink subframes;
- and
- associating control information of a specific subframe with an uplink subframe while accounting for both cell radius extension and loss of the one or more disabled, adjacent uplink subframes used to communicate the extended special subframe.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor being configured:
- to communicate with a base station using a special subframe that extends a guard period over an uplink pilot time slot and one or more disabled, adjacent uplink subframes;
- and
- to associate a control information subframe with a specific downlink subframe while accounting for both cell radius extension and loss of the one or more disabled, adjacent uplink subframes used to communicate the extended special subframe.
