Claim Text:
1. A method of wireless communication by a mobile device configured for carrier aggregation (CA) of at least a time division duplexed (TDD) first component carrier and a frequency division duplexed (FDD) second component carrier, comprising: determining an association between a set of downlink (DL) subframes including TDD subframes and FDD subframes of the respective first and second component carriers and an uplink (UL) subframe of the first component carrier based on an uplink-downlink configuration of the first component carrier, wherein an availability of uplink and downlink subframes for communicating on the first component carrier is determined according to the uplink-downlink configuration of the first component carrier and is different than an availability of uplink and downlink subframes for communicating on the second component carrier; generating control information associated with transmissions on the set of DL subframes; and sending the control information on the UL subframe of the first component carrier based on the association, wherein each DL subframe of the second component carrier is associated with a corresponding UL subframe of the first component carrier.
