1. A method comprising:
- determining at least one first station and at least one second station have a relative timing difference;
determining a muting schedule for the at least one first station for a plurality of sub-frames, wherein the muting schedule comprises at least two adjacent muted sub-frames; and
initiating sending an indication of the muting schedule to the at least one first station and the at least one second station wherein information on one or more channels is transmitted from the at least one second station during the at least two adjacent muted sub-frames.

Abstract
A method includes determining at least one first station and at least one second station have a relative timing difference. The method then determines a muting schedule for the at least one first station for a plurality of sub-frames, wherein the muting schedule includes at least two adjacent muted sub-frames. The method further includes initiating sending an indication of the muting schedule to the at least one first station and the at least one second station wherein information on one or more channels is transmitted from the at least one second station during the at least two adjacent muted sub-frames.

30. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code instructions stored therein, the computer-executable program code instructions comprising:
-
program code instructions for determining at least one first station and at least one second station have a relative timing difference; program code instructions for determining a muting schedule for the at least one first station for a plurality of sub-frames, wherein the muting schedule comprises at least two adjacent muted sub-frames; and program code instructions for initiating sending an indication of the muting schedule to the at least one first station and the at least one second station wherein information on one or more channels is transmitted from the at least one second station during the at least two adjacent muted sub-frames.
