Abstract:
Increased symbol length of uplink pilot time slots (UpPTS) in special subframes is disclosed in which a configuration of a first special subframe may be independent from configuration of a second special subframe in the same frame, such that the first UpPTS of the first special subframe is longer than the second UpPTS of the second special subframe. The second UpPTS of the second special subframe may also be longer than legacy UpPTS length in select configurations. A serving base station may select the special subframe configurations in order to balance sounding reference signal (SRS) capacity for compatible user equipments (UEs) and downlink throughput for legacy UEs. The selected special subframe configurations may be transmitted by the serving base stations. In additional aspects, compatible UEs may be configured with at least two separate SRS power control parameters for use in the additional and legacy UpPTS symbols.

Claim (Index 25):
An apparatus configured for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:\n at least one processor; and a memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured:\n to select a first special subframe configuration for a first special subframe of a frame, wherein the first special subframe configuration includes a first uplink pilot time slot (UpPTS) with assigned resources of at least three symbols, and wherein the at least three symbols include two legacy symbols and one or more additional symbols; \n to select a second special subframe configuration for a second special subframe of the frame, wherein the second special subframe configuration includes a second UpPTS with assigned resources of a second resource length different than a first resource length assigned to the first UpPTS; and \n to transmit an indication of the first and second special subframe configurations for a coverage area.
