SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMICALLY CONFIGURING A FLEXIBLE SUBFRAME
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A user equipment (UE) for dynamically configuring a flexible subframe, comprising:
- a processor;
memory in electronic communication with the processor, wherein instructions stored in the memory are executable to;
determine that a subframe is a flexible subframe;
determine whether a downlink is indicated for the flexible subframe; and
set the flexible subframe as a downlink subframe if a downlink is indicated.

Abstract
A user equipment (UE) for dynamically configuring a flexible subframe is described. The UE includes a processor and instructions stored in memory that is in electronic communication with the processor. The UE determines that a subframe is a flexible subframe. The UE determines whether a downlink is indicated for the flexible subframe. The UE sets the flexible subframe as a downlink subframe if a downlink is indicated.

6. A user equipment (UE) for dynamically configuring a flexible subframe, comprising:
-
a processor; memory in electronic communication with the processor, wherein instructions stored in the memory are executable to; determine that a subframe is a flexible subframe; monitor for one or more of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and an enhanced PDCCH (EPDCCH) for a downlink for the flexible subframe; and determine whether a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is scheduled for the flexible subframe. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)
