CONFIGURABLE BI-DIRECTIONAL TIME DIVISION DUPLEX (TDD) SUBFRAME STRUCTURE

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure provide a configurable bi-directional time division duplex (TDD) subframe structure. The configurable subframe structure includes a downlink control portion, an uplink control portion, an uplink data portion and a downlink data portion. A current subframe for communication between a scheduling entity and a set of one or more subordinate entities is produced by determining a desired ratio of uplink information to downlink information for the current subframe and configuring the configurable subframe structure with the desired ratio.

1. A method of wireless communication in a wireless communication network for a scheduling entity to communicate with a set of one or more subordinate entities utilizing a time division duplex (TDD) carrier, wherein the TDD carrier comprises a plurality of subframes, the method comprising:
providing a configurable subframe structure including a downlink control portion, an uplink control portion, an uplink data portion, and a downlink data portion; determining a desired ratio of uplink information to downlink information for a current subframe; configuring the configurable subframe structure to produce the current subframe having the desired ratio; and communicating between the scheduling entity and the set of one or more subordinate entities using the current subframe.
