TECHNIQUES FOR FLEXIBLE UPLINK GRANT ALLOCATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

Various aspects of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatus, and computer programs for allowing uplink resource assignment to occur in substantially any downlink subframe that is at least a threshold number of subframes before the corresponding uplink subframe in a time division duplexing (TDD) communication configuration. In an aspect, receiving, from a base station, an uplink resource grant for an uplink subframe designated for uplink communications in time division duplexing (TDD), wherein the uplink resource grant is received in a first downlink subframe designated for downlink communications, and wherein the first downlink subframe occurs before a second downlink subframe configured for transmitting uplink resource grants for the uplink subframe; and transmitting uplink communications to the base station during the uplink subframe designated for uplink communications.
