Abstract
Techniques for controlling the operation of user equipments (UEs) to mitigate emissions out of band are described. A base station may identify a UE potentially causing excessive emissions out of band due to transmission of control information and may schedule the UE to reduce the emissions out of band. In one design, the base station may schedule the UE to send control information on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) instead of a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH). In another design, the base station may assign the UE with resources for the PUCCH to send control information. The assigned resources may be selected to mitigate the emissions out of band and may be (i) located within a target frequency range, (ii) located away from a frequency band to be mitigated with the emissions out of band, or (iii) obtained with a reuse scheme and have less inter-cell interference from other UEs.
