FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example 300 of a frame structure in a wireless communication network, in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. The frame structure shown in FIG. 3 is for frequency division duplexing (FDD) in a telecommunication system, such as LTE or NR. The transmission timeline for each of the downlink and uplink may be partitioned into units of radio frames (sometimes referred to as frames). Each radio frame may have a predetermined duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)) and may be partitioned into a set of Z (Z≥1) subframes (e.g., with indices of 0 through Z?1). Each subframe may have a predetermined duration (e.g., 1 ms) and may include a set of slots (e.g., 2m slots per subframe are shown in FIG. 3, where m is an index of a numerology used for a transmission, such as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or another number). Each slot may include a set of L symbol periods. For example, each slot may include fourteen symbol periods (e.g., as shown in FIG. 3), seven symbol periods, or another number of symbol periods. In a case where the subframe includes two slots (e.g., when m=1), the subframe may include 2L symbol periods, where the 2L symbol periods in each subframe may be assigned indices of 0 through 2L?1. In some aspects, a scheduling unit for the FDD may be frame-based, subframe-based, slot-based, mini-slot based, or symbol-based.
As indicated above, FIG. 3 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with respect to FIG. 3.
