Systems and methods for dynamically configuring a flexible subframe

摘要

A user equipment (UE) for dynamically configuring a flexible subframe is described. The UE includes a processor and instructions stored in memory that is in electronic communication with the processor. The UE determines that a subframe is a flexible subframe. The UE determines whether a downlink is indicated for the flexible subframe. The UE sets the flexible subframe as a downlink subframe if a downlink is indicated.

主权项

1. A user equipment (UE) for dynamically configuring a flexible subframe, comprising:
a processor; memory in electronic communication with the processor, wherein instructions stored in the memory are executable to:
determine that a subframe is a flexible subframe, wherein determining whether a subframe is a flexible subframe comprises determining whether a subframe type is different in a first reference uplink-downlink (UL-DL) configuration and a second reference UL-DL configuration;determine whether a downlink is indicated for the flexible subframe by a physical layer signaling, wherein determining whether a downlink is indicated for the flexible subframe comprises monitoring for an indication subframe that is previous to the flexible subframe;avoid monitoring the flexible subframe when a downlink is not indicated for the flexible subframe; andset the flexible subframe as a downlink subframe if a downlink is indicated by the physical layer signaling.
