US Patent 10153867 Carrier aggregation with dynamic TDD DL/UL subframe configuration

A user equipment (UE) communicating in a carrier aggregation (CA) or multi-connectivity operation using more than one component carrier (CC), where at least one of the CCs is enabled to use evolved interference management for traffic adaptation (eIMTA), adapts the hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) timing of the UE communications based on changes in the eIMTA and configurations. The HARQ timing includes HARQ acknowledgement (ACK) timing or HARQ scheduling timing.
