Methods and apparatus for processing control and/or shared channels in long term evolution (LTE)

摘要

Certain aspects provide methods and apparatus for processing a control channel and/or a shared channel in a subframe based on a determination that one or more channel properties of the two channels are substantially the same. One example method generally includes receiving a control channel and a shared channel within a subframe; determining that one or more channel properties of the control channel and the shared channel in the subframe are substantially the same; and processing the control channel and the shared channel based on the determination. In this manner, estimations determined for a first channel may be assumed for a second channel whose channel properties are substantially the same as the first channel, rather than by separately determining the estimations for the second channel, thereby saving processing time.
