    摘要: A wideband carrier (e.g., LTE carrier) is shifted up or down in frequency, within an allocated frequency band, by an integer multiple of the channel raster spacing (e.g., 100 KHz). This reduces the size of the guard band on one side of the carrier, and expands the guard band on the other side. A narrowband carrier (e.g., NB-IoT carrier) is then deployed within the expanded guard band, at or near a frequency such that the transmission is orthogonal to the wideband carrier transmissions, such as by using a shared N frequency grid spacing (e.g. at 100 KHz spacing, and using 15 KHz subcarriers). The narrowband carrier thus maintains orthogonality with the wideband carrier, but has “room” within the expanded guard band to both transmit on a frequency close to the frequency grid spacing, and to boost transmit power (e.g., by 6 dB), while remaining within the spectral mask. The shifted wideband carrier is transparent to wideband UEs, as the frequency shift is an integer multiple of the channel raster spacing.

    摘要: A network node is provided. Processing circuitry of the network node is configured to configure a wireless device with a transmission time interval, TTI for use in operating a first physical channel. The physical channel includes a first reference radio resource. A power control dynamic range scheme is determined, the determination includes: if the TTI is greater than the threshold, selecting a first power control dynamic range for the first physical channel; and if the TTI is less than the threshold, selecting a second power control dynamic range for the first physical channel, the second power control dynamic range being different from the first power control dynamic range. A power for the first reference radio resource in the first power control dynamic range is the same as a power for the first reference radio resource in the second power control dynamic range.

    摘要: A wireless device (810) obtains (904) a first transmission time interval (TTI) for transmitting a first signal, and determines (908), based on the first TTI, a first transient time associated with the first TTI that defines a first duration during which a transmit power level of the wireless device changes. The wireless device transmits (912) the first signal using the first transient time. The wireless device obtains (916) a second TTI for transmitting a second signal, wherein a length of the second TTI is different from a length of the first TTI. The wireless device determines (920), based on the second TTI, a second transient time associated with the second TTI that defines a second duration during which the transmit power level of the wireless device changes that is different from the first transient time. The wireless device transmits (924) the second signal using the second transient time.
