Abstract

A method of handling resource allocation for a network of a wireless communication system comprises transferring from a first uplink (UL)/downlink (DL) configuration to a second UL/DL configuration in a first frame; and performing a triggered transmission or reception with a communication device of the wireless communication system in a subframe of a second frame according to the first UL/DL configuration.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the step of performing the second transmission with the network in the subframe of the first frame or the second frame according to the first UL/DL configuration, when the direction of the subframe determined according to the first UL/DL configuration and the direction of the subframe determined according to the second UL/DL configuration are the same comprises:

performing the second transmission with the network in the subframe of the first frame or the second frame according to the first UL/DL configuration, when the direction of the subframe determined according to the second UL/DL configuration is an UL subframe.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the step of dropping the second transmission, when the direction of the subframe determined according to the first UL/DL configuration and the direction of the subframe determined according to the second UL/DL configuration are different comprises:

dropping the second transmission, when the direction of the subframe determined according to the second UL/DL configuration is not an UL subframe.

9. A method of handling resource allocation for a communication device of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

performing at least one first transmission or reception according to a first uplink (UL)/downlink (DL) configuration with a network of the wireless communication system;

receiving a notification transmitted by the network of the wireless communication system, for indicating the communication device to transfer from the first UL/DL configuration to a second UL/DL configuration in a first frame; and

performing a first part of a second transmission or reception triggered by the at least one first transmission or reception with the network in a subframe of the first frame or a second frame according to the second UL/DL configuration, when a first set of at least one previous subframe is mapped by the subframe according to the second UL/DL configuration, wherein the first part of the second transmission or reception is triggered by a first set of the at least one first transmission or reception performed on the first set of the at least one previous subframe.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the second transmission or reception comprises at least one of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback and a UL grant triggered by the at least one first transmission or reception performed in the at least one previous subframe of at least one previous frame according to the first UL/DL configuration.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

stopping performing a second part of the second transmission or reception, when a second set of the at least one previous subframe is not mapped by the subframe according to the second UL/DL configuration, wherein the second part of the second transmission or reception is triggered by a second set of the at least one first transmission or reception performed on the second set of the at least one previous subframe.

12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

performing a new transmission or reception with the network in the subframe of the first frame or the second frame according to the second UL/DL configuration.
