  • Patent number: 11240800
    Abstract: Apparatus and method are provided to determine the starting subframe of a data channel. In one novel aspect, the UE monitors one or more control channel candidates, which at least one of the control channel candidate occupies a plurality of the subframes. The UE detects a control channel intended for the UE, decodes the control channel and determines the starting subframe of the data channel based on the control channel and a known gap. In another novel aspect, the UE further obtains a subframe indicator from the control channel. The subframe indicator signals either the number of subframes between the starting subframe of the data channel and the starting subframe of the control channel, or the number of subframes of the control channel, or the starting subframe of the data channel. In another embodiment, predefined rule can be applied to the subframe indicator to determining the starting subframe of the data channel.
