The specification and drawings present a new method, system, apparatus and software product for using DL sub-frames with a unique pilot structure for TDD communications between a network element and a user equipment. In order to have equally good estimation for, e.g., channel, SIR and/or CQI estimation in the edges of a TDD sub-frame, the pilot structure should take into account UL/DL frame boundaries. In other words, a DL TDD sub-frame (e.g., 0.5 ms in duration) or sub-frames, adjacent in time domain to an UL TDD sub-frame can have higher total pilot energy than non-adjacent downlink TDD sub-frames by a pre-selected value or values.
