Abstract
Technology for an eNodeB to communicate with a user equipment (UE) using a extended downlink (DL) self-contained frame within a wireless communication network is disclosed. The eNodeB can process data to form an extended downlink (DL) self-contained frame, comprising: a first self-contained subframe including a DL control data, DL data, uplink (UL) control data, and one or more reference symbols; an Mth subframe is located subsequent to the first self-contained subframe, the Mth subframe including one or more resource elements configured for DL data, wherein M is a positive integer greater that is greater than one; and an Nth subframe that is subsequent to the Mth subframe, the Nth subframe including one or more resource elements configured for UL control data. The eNodeB can process the extended DL self-contained frame for transmission to the UE.
