Abstract
Aspects described herein relate to configuring radio resources of a control channel for use by base stations and wireless devices. According to some embodiments, one or more control messages may be transmitted by a base station and/or received by a wireless device. The control messages may comprise configuration parameters for the radio resources of the control channel. Exemplary configuration parameters may include an indication of one or more subframes in a frame on a carrier, an indication of a starting symbol corresponding to the control channel in the one or more subframes, and one or more frequency resource parameters for non-overlapping sets of resource blocks in the one or more subframes.
Claims42
A base station comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the base station to transmit a control message comprising configuration parameters for radio resources of a control channel, wherein the radio resources comprise a plurality of non-overlapping sets of resource blocks in one or more subframes in a frame associated with a carrier, and wherein the configuration parameters comprise:
- an indication of the one or more subframes;
- an indication of a starting symbol corresponding to both the control channel and a data channel associated with the control channel in the one or more subframes;
- and
- one or more frequency resource parameters for each non-overlapping set of resource blocks in the plurality of non-overlapping sets of resource blocks.
A wireless device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the wireless device to receive a control message comprising configuration parameters for radio resources of a control channel, wherein the radio resources comprise a plurality of non-overlapping sets of resource blocks in a one or more subframes in a frame associated with a carrier, and wherein the configuration parameters comprise:
- an indication of the one or more subframes;
- an indication of a starting symbol corresponding to both the control channel and a data channel associated with the control channel in the one or more subframes;
- and
- one or more frequency resource parameters for each non-overlapping set of resource blocks in the plurality of non-overlapping sets of resource blocks.
A method comprising:
- transmitting, by a base station, a control message comprising configuration parameters for radio resources of a control channel, wherein the radio resources comprise a plurality of non-overlapping sets of resource blocks in one or more subframes in a frame associated with a carrier, and wherein the configuration parameters comprise:
- an indication of the one or more subframes;
- an indication of a starting symbol corresponding to both the control channel and a data channel associated with the control channel in the one or more subframes;
- and
- one or more frequency resource parameters for each non-overlapping set of resource blocks in the plurality of non-overlapping sets of resource blocks;
- and
- transmitting, by the base station and via the control channel in a first subframe of the one or more subframes, scheduling information for a packet transmitted on the data channel associated with the control channel.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless device and from a base station, a control message comprising configuration parameters for radio resources of a control channel, wherein the radio resources comprise a plurality of non-overlapping sets of resource blocks in a one or more subframes in a frame associated with a carrier, and wherein the configuration parameters comprise:
- an indication of the one or more subframes;
- an indication of a starting symbol corresponding to both the control channel and a data channel associated with the control channel in the one or more subframes;
- and
- one or more frequency resource parameters for each non-overlapping set of resource blocks in the plurality of non-overlapping sets of resource blocks;
- and
- receiving, by the wireless device, scheduling information via the control channel in a first subframe of the one or more subframes for a packet to be received on the data channel associated with the control channel in the first subframe.
