First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for wireless signal transmission, the method comprising:
- storing, in a base station, a subframe partition configuration including an allocation of a first downlink (DL) resource to be one of a semi-static resource or dynamic resource; and
transmitting, from the base station, a first signal consistent with the first DL resource allocation.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for providing wireless communications using subframe partitioning are disclosed. Two or more base stations may be allocated subframes in a radio frame. All or part of the subframe allocation may be provided to the associated user equipment (UEs), which may use it to determine signal metrics during assigned subframes for an associated base station.
