LEGACY AND NEW RADIO COEXISTENCE FRAME AND CONTROL DESIGN

摘要

Aspects of the disclosure relate to next generation (e.g., fifth generation or 5G) cells that support legacy radio access technologies by sharing a carrier between 5G and legacy transmissions. To facilitate coexistence between legacy and 5G transmissions, a configurable slot structure may be utilized for 5G transmissions. The configurable slot structure may be configured to have an effective duration that prevents transmission thereof during at least a portion of a control region of a legacy subframe. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
