AUTOMATIC GUARD PERIOD ADJUSTMENT IN TIME DIVISION DUPLEXED WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

摘要

A method for adjusting a guard period in a base station for a cellular wireless communication system. The base station is adapted to communicate in a frame structure comprising a downlink frame followed by the guard period followed by an uplink frame. Interference in dependence on time from at least one interfering base station is measured. An uplink frame start time within the frame structure is adjusted based on the measured interference. Also disclosed are a related base station, a related network management entity, a related computer program product, and related method for operating the network entity.
