COMMUNICATION DEVICE FOR LTE COMMUNICATION WITHIN UNUSED GSM CHANNELS

摘要

A communications device for communicating data, the communications device including a receiver for receiving signals representing downlink data from a network element of a wireless telecommunications system via a wireless access interface having a logical baseband frame structure, a transmitter for transmitting signals representing uplink data to the network element via the wireless access interface, the logical baseband frame structure being formed from one or more minimum frequency units and one or more time units to form communications resources for allocation by the network element to the communications device, and a controller for controlling the transmitter and the receiver to transmit and to receive signals representing the data to and from the network element using the wireless access interface. The controller is configured in combination with the transmitter and the receiver to receive an indication of frequency resources within a host frequency band.

1. A communications device for communicating data, the communications device comprising
a receiver for receiving signals representing downlink data from a network element of a wireless telecommunications system via a wireless access interface having a logical baseband frame structure, a transmitter for transmitting signals representing uplink data to the network element via the wireless access interface, the logical baseband frame structure being formed from one or more minimum frequency units and one or more time units to form communications resources for allocation by the network element to the communications device, and a controller for controlling the transmitter and the receiver to transmit and to receive signals representing the data to and from the network element using the wireless access interface, wherein the controller is configured in combination with the transmitter and the receiver
to receive an indication of one or more frequency resources which are available within a host frequency band,to combine the one or more frequency resources within the host frequency band in time and/or frequency to form the one or more of the minimum frequency units of the logical baseband frame structure, andto transmit or to receive the signals representing the data to or from the network element using the communications resources provided by the one or more minimum frequency units formed within the host frequency band.
