Systems and Methods for Configuring Redundant Transmissions in a Wireless Network

摘要

A method for configuring communication in a wireless communication system includes obtaining, at a first network node, information indicating a plurality of candidate subframes for downlink transmissions to a wireless communication device in a first cell served by the first network node. Each candidate subframe satisfies a candidate condition that relates to transmissions in a second cell during that subframe. The method also includes determining, based on the obtained information, a number of copies of an uplink transmission a wireless communication device should transmit in consecutive uplink subframes so that a downlink transmission related to the uplink transmission will occur during one of the candidate subframes. Additionally, the method includes configuring the wireless communication device to transmit the determined number of copies of the uplink transmission in consecutive subframes.

1. A method for configuring communication in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
obtaining information indicating a first group of one or more subframes of a radio frame in which a first network node will transmit feedback information to one or more wireless communication devices served by the first network node; determining, based on the obtained information, a second group of one or more subframes in which a second network node should transmit feedback information to one or more wireless communication devices served by the second network node, wherein the second group of subframes differs from the first group of subframes; configuring the second network node to transmit feedback information to one or more wireless communication devices during the second group of subframes; and transmitting feedback information from the second network node during the second group of subframes.
