20160135170 | PUCCH FOR MTC DEVICES - Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication at a device. A wireless device may be configured with a transmission time interval (TTI) bundling parameter. The device may then identify one or more resources for an uplink (UL) control channel based on the TTI bundling parameter (e.g., using either an implicit or an explicit indication from another wireless node such as a serving cell of a base station) and transmit the UL control channel using the identified resources. The device may also identify a downlink control information (DCI) format based on the TTI bundling parameter. For example, a resource allocation granularity level may be associated with the bundling parameter, and the length of a DCI field may depend on the resource allocation granularity level. | 2016-05-12 |
20160135171 | DEVICE-TO-DEVICE (D2D) RESOURCE RELEASE - Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for device-to-device (D2D) resource release are provided. One method includes indicating an early release of resources allocated to a UE. | 2016-05-12 |
