Abstract

A method performed by a HD-WTRU may comprise determining that an uplink SR and/or a PRACH preamble overlaps in time with one or more subframes of a scheduled downlink shared channel transmission. When the overlap occurs, the HD-WTRU may receive the downlink shared channel transmission on the one or more subframes. The HD-WTRU may process the downlink shared channel transmission, not transmit the SR and not transmit the PRACH preamble.

Claims (33)

1. A method performed by a half duplex wireless transmit/receive unit (HD-WTRU), the method comprising:

receiving downlink control information (DCI) on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);

determining that an uplink scheduling request (SR) and/or a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble would overlap in time with one or more subframes of a downlink shared channel transmission scheduled by the DCI; and

receiving the scheduled downlink shared channel transmission on the one or more subframes.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

processing the scheduled downlink shared channel transmission.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

not transmitting the SR and not transmitting the PRACH preamble while receiving the scheduled downlink shared channel transmission.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the HD-WTRU comprises a single oscillator.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting the SR and/or PRACH preamble after receiving the scheduled downlink shared channel transmission.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the HD-WTRU is a machine type communication (MTC) HD-WTRU.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduled downlink shared channel transmission is transmitted with a cell radio network transmission identifier (C-RNTI).

8. A half duplex wireless transmit/receive unit (HD-WTRU) comprising:

a receiver configured to receive downlink control information (DCI) on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);

circuitry configured to determine that an uplink scheduling request (SR) and/or a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble would overlap in time with one or more subframes of a downlink shared channel transmission scheduled by the DCI; and

the receiver configured to receive the scheduled downlink shared channel transmission on the one or more subframes.

9. The HD-WTRU of claim 8 , further comprising:

a processor configured to process the scheduled downlink shared channel transmission.

10. The HD-WTRU of claim 8 , further comprising:

a transmitter configured to not transmit the SR and not transmit the PRACH preamble while the scheduled downlink shared channel transmission is being received.

11. The HD-WTRU of claim 8 , wherein the HD-WTRU comprises a single oscillator.

12. The HD-WTRU of claim 8 , further comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit the SR and/or PRACH preamble after receipt of the scheduled downlink shared channel transmission.

13. The HD-WTRU of claim 8 , wherein the HD-WTRU is a machine type communication (MTC) HD-WTRU.

14. The HD-WTRU of claim 8 , wherein the scheduled downlink shared channel transmission is transmitted with a cell radio network transmission identifier (C-RNTI).

15. A half duplex wireless transmit/receive unit (HD-WTRU) comprising:

a receiver configured to receive downlink control information (DCI) on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);

circuitry configured to determine that an uplink scheduling request (SR) using a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble would overlap in time with one or more subframes of a downlink shared channel transmission scheduled by the DCI; and

the receiver configured to receive the scheduled downlink shared channel transmission on the one or more subframes.

16. The HD-WTRU of claim 15 , further comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit the SR after receipt of the scheduled downlink shared channel transmission.

17. The HD-WTRU of claim 15 , wherein the scheduled downlink shared channel transmission is transmitted with a cell radio network transmission identifier (C-RNTI).
