FIG. 13 shows a block diagram 1300 of an apparatus 1305 for use in wireless communication, in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, the apparatus 1305 may be an example of aspects of one or more of the base stations 105, 205, and/or 205-a described with reference to FIGS. 1 and/or 2, an example of aspects of one or more of the UEs 115, 215, 215-a, 215-b, and/or 215-c described with reference to FIGS. 1 and/or 2, and/or an example of aspects of the apparatus 1205 described with reference to FIG. 12. The apparatus 1305 may in some examples include an LTE/LTE-A compatible base station or UE. The apparatus 1305 may also be a processor. The apparatus 1305 may include a receiver module 1310, a wireless communication management module 1320, and/or a transmitter module 1330. Each of these components may be in communication with each other.
The components of the apparatus 1305 may, individually or collectively, be implemented using one or more ASICs adapted to perform some or all of the applicable functions in hardware. Alternatively, the functions may be performed by one or more other processing units (or cores), on one or more integrated circuits. In other examples, other types of integrated circuits may be used (e.g., Structured/Platform ASICs, FPGAs, and other Semi-Custom ICs), which may be programmed in any manner known in the art. The functions of each unit may also be implemented, in whole or in part, with instructions embodied in a memory, formatted to be executed by one or more general or application-specific processors.
