Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for allocating bandwidth in a wireless network comprising an aggregated uplink carrier formed from a plurality of contiguous uplink component carriers. In some embodiments, a base station allocates bandwidth for UE (User Equipment devices) transmissions within the aggregated uplink carrier during an upcoming TTI (Transmission Time Interval), wherein for the upcoming TTI, the aggregated uplink carrier has an enhanced subframe format with an enhanced PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) region that maps to a continuous frequency range extending across one or more frequency boundaries between one or more of the plurality of uplink component carriers.
