Downlink resource scheduling

摘要

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe devices, methods, computer-readable media and systems configurations for downlink resource scheduling in wireless networks. In some embodiments, the scheduling may include multi-subframe cross carrier scheduling utilizing downlink control information. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
scheduling circuitry to:
receive, from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) in a first subframe of a primary serving cell (Pcell) of the base station, the DCI to include a carrier indication field (CIF) value and an indicator to indicate a downlink resource of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission that is to include data directed to the apparatus; anddetermine, based on a predetermined subframe pairing and the CIF value, that the PDSCH transmission is in a second subframe of a secondary serving cell (Scell), wherein the second subframe is different from the first subframe; and decoder circuitry to decode the downlink resource of the PDSCH transmission based on the indicator and said determination that the PDSCH transmission is in the second subframe of the Scell, wherein the scheduling circuitry is further to: access mapping information, stored in a multi-subframe cross-carrier (MSCC) table that provides mapping information for individual combinations of CIF values and carrier aggregation levels, based on the CIF value and a carrier aggregation level; and determine, based on the mapping information, the indicator applies to a first paired subframe of the predetermined subframe pairing, a second paired subframe of the predetermined subframe pairing, or to both the first and second paired subframe of the predetermined subframe pairing.
