Adaptive uplink/downlink timeslot assignment in a hybrid wireless time division multiple access/code division multiple access communication system
First Claim
1. A first wireless device comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a first list indicating a first assignment for uplink and downlink time intervals in a time division duplex (TDD) frame;
a controller configured to determine at least first downlink time intervals for communication in a TDD frame based on the first list;
the receiver further configured to receive a second list indicating a second assignment for uplink and downlink time intervals in a TDD frame;
the controller further configured to determine at least first uplink time intervals for communication in a TDD frame based on the second list;
the controller further configured to determine at least second downlink time intervals and second uplink time intervals for communication in a TDD frame based on a third list, wherein the third list indicates a third assignment for uplink and downlink time intervals in a TDD frame, and wherein the second downlink time intervals include downlink time intervals of at least the first downlink time intervals and the second uplink time intervals include uplink time intervals of at least the first uplink time intervals; and
the receiver configured to communicate, with a second wireless device during at least one TDD frame for communication, in the downlink based on at least the second downlink time intervals and,in the uplink based on at least the second uplink time intervals.

Abstract
A wireless network device may receive a first list indicating a first assignment for uplink and downlink time intervals in a time division duplex (TDD) frame and determine at least first downlink time intervals based on the first list. The device may receive a second list indicating a second assignment for uplink and downlink time intervals in a TDD frame and determine at least first uplink time intervals based on the second list. The device may determine at least second downlink time intervals and second uplink time intervals based on a third list, wherein the third list indicates a third assignment for uplink and downlink time intervals in a TDD frame, and wherein the second downlink time intervals include downlink time intervals of at least the first downlink time intervals and the second uplink time intervals include uplink time intervals of at least the first uplink time intervals.

11. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a first wireless device, a first list indicating a first assignment for uplink and downlink time intervals in a time division duplex (TDD) frame; determining, by the first wireless device, at least first downlink time intervals for communication in a TDD frame based on the first list; receiving, by the first wireless device, a second list indicating a second assignment for uplink and downlink time intervals in a TDD frame; determining, by the first wireless device, at least first uplink time intervals for communication in a TDD frame based on the second list; determining, by the first wireless device, at least second downlink time intervals and second uplink time intervals for communication in a TDD frame based on a third list, wherein the third list indicates a third assignment for uplink and downlink time intervals in a TDD frame, and wherein the second downlink time intervals include downlink time intervals of at least the first downlink time intervals and the second uplink time intervals include uplink time intervals of at least the first uplink time intervals; and communicating, by the first wireless device with a second wireless device during at least one TDD frame for communication, in the downlink based on at least the second downlink time intervals, and in the uplink based on at least the second uplink time intervals. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
