In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit an initial physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) repetition, of a plurality of PUCCH repetitions, on a first component carrier of a plurality of component carrier for which PUCCH switching is enabled. The UE may select a second component carrier, of the plurality of component carriers for which PUCCH switching is enabled, that is to be used for transmitting a second PUCCH repetition of the plurality of PUCCH repetitions. The UE may transmit the second PUCCH repetition on the second component carrier. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A system and method for identifying at least one aggressor cell are described. The method comprises transmitting at least one subframe from at least one base station of a first set of base stations to a second set of base stations, wherein the at least one subframe further comprises of at least one downlink subframe, at least uplink subframe and at least one special subframe. The second set of base stations decodes the at least one received subframe, and maps each of the at least one received downlink subframe, at least one received uplink subframe and at least one received special subframe of the at least one received subframe to at least one expected subframe. Lastly, at least one aggressor cell is determined based on a mismatch of the at least one received subframe and the at least one expected subframe.

Further, a system comprising at least one such device is proposed.

A method for disconnecting a wireless time-division duplex communication link. The time-division duplex communication link being between a first node transmitting during time slots allocated to said first node, wherein a second node is transmitting during separate time slots allocated to said second node, said first node transmitting at a respective one of a plurality of frequency bands during each of said time slots allocated to said first node. The method may include sub-dividing a time slot allocated to said first node into consecutive time intervals; disrupting communication between said first node and said second node by transmitting, using a transmitter, respective interference signals during at least some of said time intervals while maintaining a frequency difference between any pair of consecutive interference signals below a frequency difference threshold, each of said interference signals being transmitted on one frequency band selected from a group of frequency bands, the group of frequency bands comprises the plurality of frequency bands, wherein for at least two of said time intervals said interference signals are transmitted on different frequency bands, wherein the frequency difference threshold does not exceed a portion of a frequency gap between (a) a lowest frequency band of the plurality of frequency bands and (b) a highest frequency band of the plurality of frequency bands.

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for clock synchronization in half-duplex communication systems. Devices in a half-duplex system are synchronized based on time stamp values captured by each device that define a specified period of time that is of equal in length. The specified period of time spans two change-over periods to average the jitter and/or drift that occurs during each period. Each device uses these measured lengths to determine the variance in the rates at which the two internal clocks operates, which is then used to synchronizes the internal clocks of the two devices.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a communication terminal apparatus and a method. The communication terminal apparatus includes: a switch unit, a radio frequency unit, and a controller. The controller controls the switch unit to perform switching according to a preset ratio of uplink signal time duration resources to downlink signal time duration resources. The embodiments of the present invention can solve a problem of inflexible uplink and downlink time duration resource configuration.

Embodiments of the present invention provide an information transmission method, including: determining, by a user equipment (UE), a first subframe; configuring the UE to send a first uplink signal in the first subframe; determining, by the UE, that the first uplink signal is a first type of uplink signal, where the first type of uplink signal occupies a first part of symbols of the first subframe, and the number of symbols included in the first part of symbols is less than the number of symbols included in the first subframe; and detecting, by the UE, a downlink control channel on a second part of symbols in the first subframe, where the first part of symbols and the second part of symbols do not overlap in time domain.

A wireless communication system comprises a source node, a destination node, and a plurality of half-duplex relay nodes disposed between the source node and the destination node. The half-duplex relay nodes are configured in two disjoint paths each comprising an equal number of hops from the source node to the destination node. The source node is configured to alternately transmit information via the two disjoint paths in alternating time slots, and the destination node is configured to alternately receive information via the two disjoint paths in alternating time slots.

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5.sup.th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). The present disclosure provides a method of receiving downlink channel and/or downlink reference signal on an unlicensed band. An LTE user equipment (UE) receives control information of a cell operating on an unlicensed band, and receives downlink channel and/or downlink reference signal transmitted in the cell according to the control information. According to the present disclosure, data can be properly received on an unlicensed band.
