SCHEDULING IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM CAPABLE OF USING MUTED OR ALMOST BLANK SUBFRAMES

摘要

Scheduling information is differentiated between a first scheduling information and at least one second scheduling information. Transmission of the first scheduling information coincides with a non-muted subframe whereas the at least one second information would coincide with a muted subframe. Scheduling information is communicated to at least one communication device such that said at least one second scheduling information is included in at least one subframe that is differently located from a subframe where the at least one second scheduling information would have been transmitted without the muting. A device receiving the information can determine that at least one subframe capable of carrying scheduling information is muted and determine the scheduling information for the relevant subframe.
