Claim 15:
16. A sending network node configured for cross-link interference, CLI, mitigation, the sending network node comprising communication circuitry configured to communicate with a receiving network node, and processing circuitry operatively associated with the communication circuitry and configured to perform the following operations:
determine a time division duplex configuration for a plurality of slots of the sending node, the time division duplex configuration identifying:
at least one slot of the time division duplex configuration as either a fixed uplink slot for which all symbols are for uplink transmission or a fixed downlink slot for which all symbols are for downlink transmission; and
at least one slot of the time division duplex configuration as a flexible slot for which at least one symbol has an undefined transmission direction and the remaining symbols of the slot, if any, have a defined transmission direction which is either uplink or downlink transmission;
send, to at least one receiving network node, the determined time division duplex configuration in a message listing the slots of the time division duplex configuration, each of the listed slots being identified by an index, for enabling CLI mitigation by the at least one receiving network node.
