Claim:
1. A method of determining an uplink-downlink configuration, comprising: determining, by a network-side apparatus, a first Reference Signal Received Power, RSRP, value of a reference signal of a second cell received by a first cell, wherein the second cell is an adjacent cell to the first cell and the first RSRP value is measured and reported by a NodeB serving the first cell to the network-side apparatus; and comparing, by the network-side apparatus, the first RSRP value with a power threshold corresponding to the first cell, and determining from the comparison result whether or not the first cell autonomously selects uplink-downlink configuration, the uplink-downlink configuration being allocation of subframes in each radio frame for uplink transmission and for downlink transmission, wherein the determining, by the network-side apparatus, whether or not the first cell autonomously selects the uplink-downlink configuration comprises:
