Claim Text:
1. A method of managing a communication in a communication network, the method comprising: operating a first network node in the network using a division duplexing technique; monitoring parameters of a transmission of the first network node; estimating an expected performance for division free duplexing (DFD) operation based on the monitored parameters; transmitting a test signal from a second network node to the first network node; determining whether the test signal received by the first network node is substantially similar to or better than the expected performance for DFD operation;and ceasing to operate the first network node using the division duplexing technique to operate the first network node using a DFD technique when the estimated expected performance for DFD operation reaches a threshold performance level and based on whether the received test signal is substantially similar to or better than the expected performance for DFD operation.
