Frame Structure
– Frame structure type 2(Cont.)
• Three special fields, DwPTS, GP, and UpPTS in subframe #1 and #6
• Subframes 0 and 5 and DwPTS are always reserved for downlink transmission
• The lengths of DwPTS and UpPTS is given below subject to the total length of DwPTS,
GP and UpPTS being equal to
ms 1
• Supported configurations of uplink-downlink subframe allocation are specified
