TRANSMISSION TIME INTERVAL (TTI) BUNDLING FOR CONTROL CHANNELS IN LONG TERM EVOLUTION (LTE)

摘要

Certain aspects of the present disclosure propose techniques for transmission time interval (TTI) bundling for control channels (e.g., physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and enhanced PDCCH) in long term evolution (LTE). According to certain aspects a method is provided for wireless communications. The method may be performed, for example, by a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes determining a first set of possible decoding candidates for the downlink control channel in a first subframe of the bundle of subframes and a second set of possible decoding candidates for the downlink control channel in a second subframe in the bundle of subframes, wherein the first set of possible decoding candidates and the second set of possible decoding candidates are different and processing the bundle of subframes based, at least in part, on the determination.

主权项

1. A method of processing a downlink control channel sent as a bundled transmission over a bundle of subframes, comprising:
determining a mapping between a first set of possible decoding candidates for the downlink control channel in a first subframe in the bundle of subframes and a second set of possible decoding candidates for the downlink control channel in a second subframe in the bundle of subframes; and processing the bundle of subframes based, at least in part, on the determination.
