Devices for reporting uplink information
First Claim
1. A user equipment (UE) for reporting information, comprising:
- an operations unit configured to determine a time division duplex (TDD) uplink-downlink (UL-DL) configuration of each serving cell for TDD carrier aggregation of multiple serving cells with different TDD UL-DL configurations;
the operations unit configured to determine a reference UL-DL configuration for each serving cell based on at least the TDD UL-DL configuration of a primary cell (PCell);
the operations unit configured to determine a downlink association set of each serving cell based on the reference UL-DL configuration for each serving cell; and
a transmitting unit configured to report acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information based on the downlink association set of each serving cell.

Abstract
A user equipment (UE) for reporting information is described. The UE includes a processor and instructions stored in memory that is in electronic communication with the processor. The UE selects a reference cell having a reference uplink-downlink (UL-DL) configuration. The UE also selects a first uplink subframe from the reference cell. The UE further selects a first subframe set from a first cell having a first UL-DL configuration. The first UL-DL configuration is different than the reference UL-DL configuration. The UE additionally determines a first set of associations between the first subframe set and the first uplink subframe. The UE further aggregates information corresponding to the reference cell and information corresponding to the first cell based on the first set of associations to produce aggregated information. The UE also reports the aggregated information on an uplink reporting cell.
