Abstract: A wireless device may receive a DCI comprising a HARQ process number field, comprising first bit(s), and an RV field comprising second bit(s). The wireless device may validate the DCI. Validating the DCI may be based on the second bit(s). Validating the DCI may be based on comparing the first bit(s) with a first sequence of bit(s), determined using a first configuration parameter, in response to the first bit(s) not indicating a configuration index and the DCI having a first format. Validating the DCI may not be based on comparing the first bit(s) with the first sequence in response to the DCI having a second format. The wireless device may activate or deactivate resources.

Abstract: A communication technique for synchronizing a set of radio nodes is described. In this communication technique, the radio node arbitrates (e.g., using a precision time protocol or PTP) with the other radio nodes based on a selection technique to select a synchronization master in the set of radio nodes. This synchronization master may be selected to have a predefined performance based on a type of communication environment of the set of radio nodes. For example, the type of communication environment may include overlap between at least one of the radio nodes in the set of radio nodes and a macrocell in a cellular-telephone network, or may exclude overlap between the set of radio nodes and the macrocell. Moreover, the synchronization master may specify time, frequency, and phase synchronization for the set of radio nodes. Thus, when the synchronization master is different from the radio node, the radio node synchronizes with the synchronization master.
