Interference Control in Time Division Duplex Communication
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- setting up a predefined uplink-downlink configuration of a frame structure for time division duplex communication, said frame structure comprising a predefined number of downlink subframes,deriving measurement groups from the frame structure according to a measurement configuration, said measurement configuration defining a set of all downlink subframes of the frame structure or at least two subsets of the downlink subframes of the frame structure, each of said measurement groups comprising a set of subframes out of the downlink subframes of the frame structure, andperforming an interference measurement for the downlink subframes of at least one of the measurement groups.

Abstract
There are provided measures for interference control in time division duplex communication. Such measures may exemplarily comprise setting up a predefined uplink-downlink configuration of a frame structure for time division duplex communication, said frame structure comprising a predefined number of downlink subframes, deriving measurement groups from the frame structure according to a measurement configuration, said measurement configuration defining a set of all downlink subframes of the frame structure or at least two subsets of the downlink subframes of the frame structure, each of said measurement groups comprising a set of subframes out of the downlink subframes of the frame structure, and performing an interference measurement for the downlink subframes of at least one of the measurement groups.
