Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure relate to techniques for mitigating the decoding errors observed at the receiver as a result of puncturing symbols between consecutive subframes having the same transmission direction. To reduce the decoding errors, a plurality of transmission options, each including a number of resource blocks and a modulation and coding scheme (MCS), may be identified. In addition, each transmission option may be associated with one or more puncturing patterns that hinder decoding of a codeword at the receiver. The base station or user equipment (UE) may then select or modify at least one aspect of a scheduling decision involving the communication of the codeword in a given subframe of at least two consecutive subframes to minimize decoding errors. For example, a selected puncturing pattern or a transport block size associated with a selected transmission option may be modified.

Claim (Index 13):
A scheduling entity within a wireless communication network, comprising:\n a processor; a memory communicatively coupled to the processor; and a transceiver communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to:\n identify a plurality of transmission options, each comprising a respective number of resource blocks and a respective modulation and coding scheme (MCS); \n identify respective puncturing patterns associated with each of the plurality of transmission options for at least two consecutive subframes, each comprising a same transmission direction; \n render a scheduling decision for the at least two consecutive subframes based on the plurality of transmission options and the puncturing patterns associated with each of the plurality of transmission options, wherein the scheduling decision comprises at least a selected transmission option of the plurality of transmission options for communication of a first codeword between the scheduling entity and a user equipment (UE) via the transceiver in a given subframe of the at least two consecutive subframes; and \n select at least one aspect of the scheduling decision to reduce decoding errors of the first codeword.
