Abstract

See full text

Methods, systems, and devices are provided for signaling alignment for multicarrier systems that may utilize one or more flexible bandwidth carriers. Tools and techniques are provided that may help ensure signaling alignment with respect to feedback messages, such as ACK/NACK messages, in multicarrier systems that may utilize one or more flexible bandwidth carriers and/or systems that may utilize multiple different flexible bandwidth carriers. Some methods may include identifying timing for one or more subframes that carry one or more feedback messages for a first cell; and/or adjusting a timing for one or more subframes that carry one or more feedback messages for a second cell to align with the one or more subframes that carry the one or more feedback messages for the first cell. The first cell and/or the second cell may include at least one of the one or more flexible bandwidth carriers.
