SELECTION OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT TIMING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
First Claim
1. A user equipment (UE) comprising processing circuitry configured to:
- establish a connection to a primary serving cell (PCell) and a secondary serving cell (SCell) of an enhanced-Node B (eNB), the PCell having a first TDD or first FDD configuration, the SCell having a second FDD or second TDD configuration;
receive downlink data through the PCell and SCell;
categorize a type of downlink data subframe in use by the SCell;
select a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) timing sequence configuration for use with downlink data received from the SCell based on the type of downlink data subframe received; and
transmit acknowledgement information associated with the downlink data according to the selected hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) timing sequence configuration on the PCell.

Abstract
Disclosed is a User Equipment device configured to select a suitable acknowledgement timing configuration in a time division duplex-frequency division duplex (TDD-FDD) carrier aggregation (CA) enabled wireless network, comprising establishing, by a user equipment (UE), a connection to a primary serving cell (PCell) and a secondary serving cell (SCell) of a base station, the PCell having a first TDD or first FDD configuration, the SCell having a second FDD or second TDD configuration, receiving, by the UE, downlink data through the PCell and SCell, categorizing a type of downlink data subframe in use by the SCell, selecting, by the UE, a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) timing configuration based on the type of downlink data subframe for use by the SCell, and transmitting acknowledgement information associated with the downlink data according to the selected hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) timing configuration on PCell. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
