Dynamic Subframe Bundling Channel Allocation

The patent implements dynamic uplink/downlink configuration that allows the subframe bundling transmission mode to adapt to changing network conditions and traffic patterns. The system dynamically adjusts the configuration of uplink and downlink subframes based on real-time requirements, enabling flexible resource allocation while maintaining subframe bundling for uplink data transmission across multiple subframes.

The patent determines reception timing points for uplink grants in advance based on the subframe where subframe bundling is applied. By pre-determining these timing points before actual transmission occurs, the system prepares for configuration changes ahead of time, allowing seamless adaptation when uplink/downlink reconfiguration occurs without requiring complex real-time calculations during active transmission.

The patent attempts to decode uplink grants at multiple reception timing points (both the originally determined first timing point and the re-determined second timing point after reconfiguration). This feedback mechanism allows the system to verify successful grant reception and maintain reliable channel allocation even when configuration changes occur during active subframe bundling transmission.

The patent prepares for potential uplink-downlink reconfiguration by establishing a fallback mechanism. When reconfiguration occurs, the system re-determines the reception timing point and attempts decoding at both the original and new timing points, providing a cushion against allocation failures and ensuring continuous reliable operation despite configuration changes.
