Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
one or more processors;
memory in electronic communication with the one or more processors; and
instructions stored in the memory and operable, when executed by the one or more processors, to cause the apparatus to:
determine a duplexing configuration of a carrier, wherein the duplexing configuration comprises one of a time division duplex (TDD) configuration, a frequency division duplex (FDD), or an unlicensed spectrum configuration;
in response to a determination that the duplexing configuration is the TDD configuration, postulate a special subframe configuration based at least in part on the TDD configuration of the carrier;
receive a master information block (MIB) on the carrier, wherein the MIB is received according to the postulated special subframe configuration; and
interpret at least one field of the MIB based at least in part on the duplexing configuration of the carrier.
