SUPPORTING DIFFERENT LTE TDD CONFIGURATIONS IN NEIGHBORING REGIONS AND/OR ADJACENT CARRIERS

摘要

When communications of a single radio access technology (RAT) or different radio access technologies in a proximate communication spectrum are operating at the same time potential interference between devices may occur. To reduce the interference the time division duplex (TDD) configuration of one or more conflicting device may be altered. For example at the edge of a communication region TDD configurations used by edge base stations to communicate with mobile devices may be set to reduce interference. As another example communications of a first device may be altered so the first device schedules uplink communications when a second device also has uplink communications scheduled. Other configurations may also be implemented.
