Abstract:
1. A method for communication in a time division duplex (TDD)-based wireless communication system where a first system and a second system coexist wherein the first system and the second system are different systems from each other, the method comprising: configuring a first frame for the first system to include at least one downlink subframe and at least one uplink subframe; configuring a second frame for the second system to include a plurality of virtual frames, a size of the second frame being integer n times of a size of the first frame, a size of each of the plurality of virtual frames being identical with the size of the first frame; and transmitting data by using the first frame for the first system and the second frame for the second system, wherein the first frame is configured to have a minimum number of punctured symbols and a frame offset with one of the plurality of virtual frames, wherein a start point of the first frame is aligned to a start point of one of the plurality of virtual frames, and wherein a number of switching points in each of the plurality of virtual frames is equal to a number of switching points in the first frame.
