Abstract: A method at a user equipment for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) operation, the user equipment operating on a primary carrier having a first duplex mode and on at least one secondary carrier having a second duplex mode, the method using HARQ timing of the first duplex mode if the timing of the first duplex mode promotes acknowledgement opportunities over using HARQ timing of the second duplex mode; and using HARQ timing of the second duplex mode if the timing of the second duplex mode promotes acknowledgement opportunities over using HARQ timing of the first duplex mode.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for energy saving in heterogeneous wireless communication networks are provided. The small cell (e.g., pico cell, relay cell, femto cell) may adjust its transmit power based on the requirement of user equipments (UEs) in the cell's coverage. The small cell may detect a UE entering its coverage with or without assistance from the macro cell. An appropriate small cell may be selected to serve the UE based on its traffic load when the UE is located in the coverage of multiple small cells. The small cell may also transmit auxiliary synchronization signals to reduce the association time for the UE.

Abstract: Data is communicated between a network node and a user equipment in a first frame according to a first uplink-downlink configuration. In response to a configuration change that causes a second frame following the first frame to be according to a second, different uplink-downlink configuration, an acknowledgement indication for the data is sent in the second frame.

Abstract: A controller receives information relating to at least one of multiple small cells. Responsive to the received information, the controller coordinates allocation of resources for use by the small cells in communicating data with respective user equipments (UEs), where the coordinating of the allocation of resources reduces interference among the small cells.
