Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A frame, scheduling instance, scheduling period etc. may include a set of downlink subframes and a set of uplink subframes. At least one control message transmitted in a downlink subframe may schedule a set of data messages in the downlink subframes of the frame. The downlink subframe may also include data messages scheduled by a control message of a previous frame. Further, feedback timings for data messages of the frame may be determined based on the corresponding control messages (e.g., from the current frame and the previous frame). Feedback responses corresponding to the data messages may be transmitted in a bundled manner in the set of uplink subframes. Using this cross-frame scheduling technique, the resources of a frame may be efficiently utilized.
