Abstract

According to certain embodiments, a method is disclosed for operating a user equipment. The method comprises transmitting or receiving a transmission on at least one of the component carriers, wherein the at least one component carrier is associated with a slot duration that corresponds to a numerology of the component carrier. The transmitting or receiving on the at least one of the component carriers is based on a relation between a number of information bits on the at least one of the component carriers over one or more reference slot durations and a reference data rate.

First claim

1 .- 31 . (canceled)

32 . A method of operating a user equipment in a wireless communication network, the user equipment being configured for operation in carrier aggregation comprising a plurality of N component carriers, wherein each component carrier of the plurality of N component carriers is associated with a slot duration that corresponds to a numerology of the component carrier, the method comprising:
transmitting or receiving a transmission on at least one of the component carriers, wherein the transmitting or receiving on the at least one of the component carriers is based on a relation between a number of information bits scheduled on the plurality of N component carriers over one or more reference slot durations and a reference data rate.

33 . The method of claim 32 , wherein at least two component carriers of the plurality of N component carriers have different numerologies.

34 . The method of claim 32 , wherein the numerology of a component carrier is an Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing, OFDM, numerology.

35 . The method of claim 32 , wherein the relation corresponds to
