Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a technique for enabling multiple transmission modes based on control information of different formats.
Claims48
A method of enabling a transmission scheme in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- generating downlink control information (DCI), wherein the DCI has a format selected from at least two different DCI formats, wherein each DCI format comprises at least one information field re-interpreted to indicate a transmission scheme;
- setting a value of one or more bits of the DCI to indicate a transmission scheme selected from at least two transmission schemes;
- and
- transmitting the DCI to a device to indicate the selected transmission scheme.
1 more element
An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
- a generator configured to generate downlink control information (DCI), wherein the DCI has a format selected from at least two different DCI formats, wherein each DCI format comprises at least one information field re-interpreted to indicate a transmission scheme;
- a circuit configured to set a value of one or more bits of the DCI to indicate a transmission scheme selected from at least two transmission schemes;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit the DCI to a device to indicate the selected transmission scheme.
