1. A method for wireless communications in a wireless communications network, comprising:
allocating, to a first user equipment in a first cell of a first power class, resources of a first component carrier for use as a physical downlink shared channel; and allocating resources of a first portion of a second component carrier for use as an extension of the physical downlink shared channel based on resource partitioning information shared between the first cell and a second cell, wherein the resources of the first portion of the second component carrier do not overlap with resources of a second portion of the second component carrier allocated as a control region for one or more second user equipments in the second cell, and wherein paging is prohibited in the extension.
