SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSMISSION TIMESLOT ASSIGNMENT IN WIRELESS TIME DIVISION DUPLEX SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A method for allocating timeslot utilization in a time division duplex time frame, the method comprising:
- determining, for a first time division duplex time frame used by a first transmitter, a plurality of timeslots that are likely to experience interference at a first receiver from an adjacent transmitter, the adjacent transmitter having a second time division duplex time frame with a time frame definition that is equivalent to a time frame definition of the first time division duplex time frame; and
assigning, based upon the determining, at least one data packet transmission addressed to the first receiver to a timeslot that is not within the plurality of timeslots.

Abstract
A method and apparatus is provided for assigning transmission slots in a time division duplex system. A time frame overlap determination processor (608) determines (314), based upon consistent observations for a sequence of time periods (220, 222, 224, 226, 228, 230) of a transmitter'"'"'s time division duplex time frame (210, 212) used by a first transmitter (102), a plurality of timeslots (242) that are likely to experience interference at a first receiver (106) from an adjacent transmitter (108), the adjacent transmitter (108) having a second time division duplex time frame (212) with a definition that is equivalent to the transmitter'"'"'s time division duplex time frame. A timeslot assignment processor (610) assigns (406, 410, 412), based upon the determining, at least one data packet transmission addressed to the first receiver (106) to a timeslot that is not within the plurality of timeslots of the time frame overlap (202).
