APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR COMMUNICATING
First Claim
1. An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- a first communication unit comprising a transmitter configured to transmit a first signal to a base station or another UE and a first receiver configured to receive a second signal from the base station, wherein the first communication unit is connected to a first port of a switch module;
a second communication unit comprising a second receiver configured to receive a third signal from the another UE and a third receiver configured to receive a fourth signal from the base station, wherein the second communication unit is connected to a second port of the switch module; and
wherein the switch module is configured to perform time division duplexing (TDD) switching between the first port and the second port in a first communication mode, and wherein the switching module is connected to the first port in a second communication mode.
