Method, computer-readable medium, and apparatus for dynamic resource allocation across FDD and TDD systems
First Claim
1. A method for dynamically assigning radio resources between a frequency division duplexing (FDD) carrier and a time division duplexing (TDD) carrier, the method comprising the acts of:
- monitoring radio resources of the FDD and TDD carriers;
allocating a resource assignment for a downlink on the FDD carrier or the TDD carrier, based upon the radio resources of the FDD and TDD carriers; and
allocating a resource assignment for an uplink on the FDD carrier or the TDD carrier, based upon the radio resources of the FDD and TDD carriers.

Abstract
A method, computer-readable medium, and apparatus for dynamically assigning radio resources between a frequency division duplexing (FDD) carrier and a time division duplexing (TDD) carrier is provided. The method includes monitoring radio frequency conditions and traffic load of the FDD and TDD carriers; allocating a resource assignment for a downlink on the FDD carrier or the TDD carrier, based upon the radio frequency conditions or the traffic load of the FDD and TDD carriers; and allocating a resource assignment for an uplink on the FDD carrier or the TDD carrier, based upon the radio frequency conditions or the traffic load of the FDD and TDD carriers.
