1. An evolved node B (eNB), comprising:
- circuitry to control communication of a message to share load information in an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) time-division-duplexing (TDD) cellular system, the message having a first information element (IE) to indicate a cell identifier for a first wireless communication cell, a second IE to indicate uplink-downlink (UL-DL) configuration information intended to be used by the first wireless communication cell, and a third IE to indicate a cell identifier for a second wireless communication cell; and
a transceiver coupled to the circuitry, the transceiver to transmit the message as OFDM signals.

Abstract
Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of Time-Division Duplexing (TDD) Uplink-Downlink (UL-DL) configuration management. For example, a node may communicate a message including a cell identifier identifying a first cell controlled by the node, and a TDD configuration update to update at least one other node, which controls at least one second cell, with a TDD UL-DL configuration allocated by the node for communication within the first cell.
