DEVICE AND METHOD FOR INTERBAND PAIRING OF CARRIERS FOR SWITCHING TRANSMISSION AND RECEIPT OF DUPLEX WITH TEMPORARY SEPARATION OF CHANNELS AND THEIR APPLICATION TO MULTIPLEXING OF DIFFERENT TIME INTERVALS

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure provide for the pairing of two or more interband time division duplex (TDD) carriers. In some examples disclosed herein, a conjugate or inverse carrier may be used such that full duplex, or a close approximation thereto, is achieved. With the introduction of a paired channel and fast control channels, rapid uplink/downlink switching may be achieved for TDD carriers efficiently and effectively. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
