Method and arrangement in a telecommunication system

摘要

Method and apparatus for avoiding or reducing interference between transmissions from a donor eNB to a relay node and downlink transmissions from the relay node to at least one mobile terminal, where the transmissions take place in overlapping frequency bands. In the method, at least one interruption is created in a transmission from the relay node to the mobile terminal(s), and during the created interruption, a transmission from the donor eNB is received. This may result in an improved reception of the transmission from the eNB in the relay node.
