Abstract:
Techniques to reduce scheduling grants to minimize or eliminate the use of control channels, at the expense of flexibility, allow protection of the system from unnecessary retransmissions in case of interference from the primary system. Use of a single grant to allocate a set of resources across all carriers, or communication channels simplifies the system at the cost of retransmission of a grant for all carriers in the case if interference corrupts the transmission of a subset of the carriers. Thus, complementing a single grant embodiment with detection of the affected frequency carriers or victim carriers and remove such carriers from the carrier aggregation configuration allows more efficient use of the allocated spectrum.

Claim (Index 10):
A method, performed by a computer processor comprising:\n configuring a transceiver unit to be utilized by a wireless communication system to communicate on a plurality of carriers, the transceiver unit disposed within a ground station included in the wireless communications system, each carrier of the plurality of carriers being a different, respective communication channel corresponding to a different, respective frequency of a frequency spectrum utilized by the plurality of carriers, and the wireless communication system utilizing the frequency spectrum to provide wireless communications, wherein the plurality of carriers is configured by the wireless communication system using grants communicated over a control channel, and wherein at least one of the communication services comprises a guard time where the transceiver unit halts transmission; causing the transceiver unit to communicate, over the control channel, a first transmission grant indicating two or more of the plurality of carriers allocated to the transceiver unit to utilize for sending transmissions; causing the transceiver unit to transmit, in accordance with the first transmission grant communicated by the transceiver unit, data on the indicated two or more of the plurality of carriers; configuring the transceiver unit to detect a threshold level of interference on a particular carrier of the two or more of the plurality of carriers; and in response to detecting the threshold level of interference: causing the transceiver unit to communicate, over the control channel, a retransmission grant excluding an indication of the particular carrier and including an indication of the other carriers of the two or more of the plurality of carriers indicated by the first transmission grant, and causing the transceiver unit to retransmit, to the receiving unit, in accordance with the retransmission grant communicated by the transceiver unit, the data on the two or more of the plurality of carriers.
