Adaptive control channel

TLDR
In this article, a wireless network may implement a reduced bandwidth for control information transmitted and/or received on the wireless network to avoid interference that may be detected from an in-band or adjacent channel.
Abstract
A wireless network may implement a reduced bandwidth for control information transmitted and/or received on the wireless network. The reduced bandwidth may be used to avoid interference that may be detected from an in-band or adjacent channel. The reduced bandwidth may be used for transmission and/or reception of control information on a cellular or Wi-Fi channel. An eNB or an access point (AP) may signal to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) information associated with the reduced control channel, such as the power and/or the location of the channel in a frequency band. The control channel may be shifted to avoid a change in interference.
