SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF OPERATING WITH DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION TIME INTERVAL (TTI) DURATIONS

摘要

Devices and techniques for determining a transmission time interval (TTI) duration and/or varying the TTI duration are contemplated. The TTI duration may be varied based on one or more of: the timing a transmission, the amount of data available for transmission, or the type of data to be transmitted. The TTI duration may be for one or more of: the Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel (EPDCCH), the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), and/or the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH). One or more different TTI durations may be achieved by modifying OFDM symbols per TTI and/or symbol duration (e.g., subcarrier spacing). One or more variable time-slot boundaries are contemplated. TTI duration per set of subcarriers is contemplated. One or more timing rules to deal with different processing time(s) are contemplated.
