METHOD FOR CONFIGURING A USER EQUIPMENT

摘要

It is described a method for configuring a user equipment within a cell of a cellular network. The cell includes a base station, and the user equipment is served by the base station. Signals between the base station and the user equipment are transmittable using a communication channel, wherein the communication channel is divided into subframes. A part of the subframes being allocated to uplink transmission is unscheduled by the base station due to a predefined muting pattern. The method includes sending from the base station to the user equipment a signal including information about the muting pattern, and configuring the user equipment to transmit at unscheduled subframes based on the muting pattern.
