DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION (DCI) DESIGN FOR MULTI-COMPONENT CARRIER SCHEDULING

Abstract:

Wireless communication devices, systems, and methods related to downlink control information (DCI) designs for multi-component carrier scheduling are provided. For example, a method of wireless communication can include receiving a downlink control information (DCI) message having a DCI format, the DCI message scheduling a downlink data communication over a single component carrier or multiple component carriers; determining, based on the received DCI message, whether the downlink data communication is scheduled over the single component carrier or the multiple component carriers; and receiving, based on the determining, the downlink data communication over the single component carrier or the multiple component carriers.
