Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for uplink channel multiplexing and waveform selection. Uplink channels to be transmitted from one or more user equipment (UEs) to a base station are multiplexed together or separately into an uplink subframe. Each UE is capable of using different waveforms to transmit different channels. Reference signals are communicated according to an RS pattern, which is symmetric across uplink and downlink channels.
Claims30
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- identifying an uplink subframe for communication with a base station;
- identifying channels to be transmitted in the uplink subframe;
- allocating a bandwidth and a number of symbols for each identified channel based at least in part on a quantity of identified channels;
- and
- transmitting the identified channels in the uplink subframe according to the allocated bandwidth and allocated number of symbols for each identified channel.
8-17. (canceled)
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory coupled with the processor;
- and
- the processor and memory configured to:
- identify an uplink subframe for communication with a base station;
- identify channels to be transmitted in the uplink subframe;
- allocate a bandwidth and a number of symbols for each identified channel based at least in part on a quantity of identified channels;
- and
- transmit the identified channels in the uplink subframe according to the allocated bandwidth and allocated number of symbols for each identified channel.
25-30. (canceled)
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for identifying an uplink subframe for communication with a base station;
- means for identifying channels to be transmitted in the uplink subframe;
- means for allocating a bandwidth and a number of symbols for each identified channel based at least in part on a quantity of identified channels;
- and
- means for transmitting the identified channels in the uplink subframe according to the allocated bandwidth and allocated number of symbols for each identified channel.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communication, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:
- identify an uplink subframe for communication with a base station;
- identify channels to be transmitted in the uplink subframe;
- allocate a bandwidth and a number of symbols for each identified channel based at least in part on a quantity of identified channels;
- and
- transmit the identified channels in the uplink subframe according to the allocated bandwidth and allocated number of symbols for each identified channel.
