FLEXIBLE CHANNEL STRUCTURE FOR PAIRED RADIO FREQUENCY SPECTRUM BANDS

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling that includes an indication of a configuration for wireless communications with a wireless device using a first operating band of a radio frequency spectrum band. The first operating band may include a first carrier that is paired with a second carrier of the first operating band. The first carrier may be separated in frequency from the second carrier and used for one of transmissions from the UE or receptions at the UE, while the second carrier may be used for both transmissions from the UE and receptions at the UE. The UE may use the second carrier for both transmissions and receptions using time division duplexing (TDD) according to the configuration. The UE may concurrently communicate messages with the wireless device using the first carrier and the second carrier.
