Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for cross-carrier indication of TDD (Time Division Duplex) UL (Uplink)/DL (Downlink) subframe configuration. A UE may receive a configuration of a first index for a first cell, wherein the first index is mapped to a first position in a Downlink Control Information (DCI) message. The UE may receive the DCI message in a subframe and determine an indication of a UL/DL subframe configuration for the first cell based on the first index and the DCI message. The UE may communicate with the first cell based on the determined UL/DL subframe configuration for the first cell.
