DOWNLINK CONTROL ALLOCATION USING CARRIER AGGREGATION RESOURCE GROUPS

摘要

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide allocation of wireless resources for UEs in carrier aggregation resource groups that span two or more component carriers (CCs). A carrier aggregation resource group may include a portion of available wireless resources in two or more CCs, and multiple carrier aggregation resource groups may be configured that may include resources that span overlapping or non-overlapping CCs. Downlink control information may be transmitted using a downlink control region that spans two or more CCs in a carrier aggregation resource group. A UE may be configured to monitor multiple CCs for downlink control information, such as through blind decodes of each CC that may contain downlink control information.
