METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FACILITATING EXTENDED TIME-DOMAIN GRANULARITY FOR UPLINK FREQUENCY HOPPING

摘要

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for enhancing frequency hopping with transmission time interval bundling. In this regard, a method is provided that includes extending a frequency hopping time-domain granularity for a Physical Uplink Shared Channel to a number of subframes greater than one subframe. The method may further include enabling provision of a generated indication identifying the extended frequency hopping time-domain granularity to at least one communication device to enable the communication device to perform frequency hopping for the number of subframes greater than one subframe. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.
