Claim 18:
19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable code, the code, when executed by a processor, to cause the processor to:
receive a configuration of a time division duplex (TDD) frame structure for a plurality of frames, wherein the plurality of frames include a plurality of uplink (UL) subframes and a plurality of downlink (DL) subframes;
transmit a periodic control signaling instance if the periodic control signaling instance is scheduled during the UL periods of the TDD frame structure, wherein the periodic control signaling instance is scheduled periodically and the periodic control signaling includes at least one of a random access channel, an uplink control channel, a sounding reference signal (SRS), or a scheduling request (SR);
measure at least one of a channel quality indicator (CQI) or a positioning reference signal (PRS) using DL subframes, wherein CQI or PRS measurements are not transmitted in response to an UL subframe unassigned to periodic control signaling resources; and
skip transmission of the periodic control signaling instance in response to the periodic control signaling instance being scheduled to occur during a DL period, wherein the periodic control signaling resources are unavailable.
