  • Patent number: 10404443
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for half-duplex frequency division duplexing (HD-FDD) hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) operation are described. The base station may receive a message from a user equipment (UE) indicative of a duplexing capability of the UE. The base station may then select a HARQ process limit based on the duplexing capability. In some examples, the base station may anticipate a collision between an uplink (UL) transmission and a downlink (DL) subframe based on the selected HARQ process limit. The base station may then schedule a transmission to avoid the anticipated collision. In some examples, the base station may limit a number of configurations available for channel quality indicator (CQI) or a precoding matrix indicator (PMI).

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a halogen-free epoxy resin composition, a prepreg, a laminate and a printed circuit board containing the same. The halogen-free epoxy resin composition comprises an epoxy resin and a curing agent. Taking the total equivalent amount of the epoxy groups in the epoxy resin as 1, the active groups in the curing agent which react with the epoxy groups have an equivalent amount of 0.5-0.95. By controlling the equivalent ratio of the epoxy groups in the epoxy resin to the active groups in the curing agent to be 0.5-0.95, the present invention ensures the Df value stability of prepregs under different curing temperature conditions while maintaining a low dielectric constant and a low dielectric loss.
