CONFIGURABLE DOWNLINK AND UPLINK CHANNELS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Transmission techniques using configurable channels for the downlink and/or uplink are described. In one aspect, the downlink channel and/or uplink channel may be independently selected for a terminal, wherein e.g. the frequency duplex spacing is variable. The terminal may establish a connection with a base station on default downlink and uplink channels. Another downlink channel and/or another uplink channel may be selected based on various factors such as channel quality, loading, and interference. The terminal would then switch to the new downlink and/or uplink channel for communication.
