Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide a configurable bi-directional time division duplex (TDD) subframe structure. The configurable subframe structure includes a downlink control portion, an uplink control portion, an uplink data portion and a downlink data portion. A current subframe for communication between a scheduling entity and a set of one or more subordinate entities is produced by determining a desired ratio of uplink information to downlink information for the current subframe and configuring the configurable subframe structure with the desired ratio.
Abstract:
One aspect of an apparatus for wireless communications is disclosed. The apparatus includes a controller, a first transceiver, and a second transceiver. The first transceiver is configurable by the controller to support first communications through a cellular network to at least one of a packet-based network and a circuit-switched network. The second transceiver configurable by the controller to operate with the first transceiver to support first communications through the cellular network in a first mode and support second communications through an access point to the packet-based network in a second mode. In an aspect, the second transceiver is further configured to switch from the first mode to the second mode by moving its wireless connection from the cellular network to the access point while maintaining a network-layer connection to the cellular network.
