Methods and apparatus for supporting coexistence between two different radio access technologies (RATs), such as the Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard and one of the IEEE 802.16 standards, are provided. To accomplish this coexistence, a multi-mode base station (BS) may replace transmission gaps in a frame of a first RAT with subframes or symbols of the second RAT and transmit the resulting dual-RAT frame. In this manner, a single BS may support and communicate according to two different RATs simultaneously. |
