Claim 0:
1. A method performed by an apparatus having full duplex (FD) communication capability, the method comprising:
receiving a first indication that configures a first frame structure for the apparatus, wherein the first indication indicates a first frame length of a first frame in the first frame structure, and wherein the first frame in the first frame structure includes a time duration that is configured for the apparatus to receive a first wireless transmission on the first frame structure from a device;
receiving a second indication that configures a second frame structure for the apparatus, wherein the second indication indicates a second frame length of a second frame in the second frame structure, and wherein the second frame in the second frame structure includes a time duration that is configured for the apparatus to transmit a second wireless transmission on the second frame structure to the device;
wirelessly communicating with the device according to the first frame structure and the second frame structure;
wherein at least one of the first frame structure or the second frame structure includes a flexible time duration and wherein the apparatus is configured to perform and does perform, during the flexible time duration, FD communication in order to concurrently transmit to the device and receive from the device at the same time on the same frequency resources;
wherein the time duration in the first frame that is configured to receive the first wireless transmission on the first frame structure is a reception duration, wherein the reception duration is a time duration in which transmission to the device is prohibited in the first frame; and
wherein the second frame structure is configured so that no transmission is sent to the device on the second frame structure and no transmission is received by the apparatus on the second frame structure during the reception duration in which the apparatus is configured to receive the first wireless transmission on the first frame structure.
