Signal processing complexity in fifth generation (5G) networks can be reduced by communicating wireless signals over self-contained partitions of a carrier such that the wireless transmission communicated over each self-contained partition of the carrier includes all physical control channel signaling required to decode data carried in a physical data channel of the partition. The control signaling may include resource assignment within the partition, modulation and coding scheme indication, reference signal configuration and retransmission information. In some embodiments, an anchor partition of a carrier is used to communicate initial access information for self-contained partitions of the carrier. The initial access information may include center-frequencies, bandwidths, and/or air interface configurations of the self-contained partitions. The anchor partition may also carry load indications associated with the self-contained partitions.
A method comprising:
An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:
The apparatus of claim ii, wherein the first partition of the carrier comprises a first physical data channel and all physical control channel signaling for decoding data carried in the first physical data channel, and the second partition of the carrier comprises a second physical data channel and all physical control channel signaling for decoding data carried in the second physical data channel.
The apparatus of claim ii, the programming including instructions to:
The apparatus of claim ii, wherein the air interface configuration information specifies different sub-carrier spacings, symbol durations, cyclic prefix (CP) lengths, transport block durations, subframe length or bandwidths for the first air interface configuration and the second air interface configuration.
An apparatus applied in a network device adapted for wireless communication, comprising:
