SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CARRIER AGGREGATION
First Claim
1. A user equipment (UE) for performing carrier aggregation, comprising:
- a processor configured and/or programmable todetermine Physical Upink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission timing for each cell; and
adjust the corresponding PUSCH transmission for a Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) cell in subframe n+4 according to the Physical Downlink Control CHannel (PDCCH) and/or Enhanced Physical Downlink Control CHannel (EPDCCH) and Physical Hybrid-ARQ Indicator CHannel (PHICH) information in a case that at least one FDD cell and at least one Time Division Duplexing (TDD) cell are configured and the UE detects a PDCCH and/or EPDCCH with DCI format 0 or 4 and/or a PHICH transmission in subframe n.

Abstract
A User Equipment (UE) for performing carrier aggregation is described. The UE includes a processor and instructions stored in memory that is in electronic communication with the processor. The UE determines an uplink control information (UCI) transmission cell in a wireless communication network with at least one frequency-division duplexing (FDD) cell and at least one time-division duplexing (TDD) cell. The UE also selects a first cell for FDD and TDD carrier aggregation. The UE further determines a set of downlink subframe associations for the first cell that indicate at least one UCI transmission uplink subframe of the UCI transmission cell. The UE additionally sends Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Acknowledgement/Negative Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information in the UCI transmission uplink subframe of the UCI transmission cell.
