Abstract:
1. A transceiver device, comprising: a receiver capable of identifying at least one neighbor cell of a wireless network in which the transceiver device is located, the receiver capable of identifying the at least one neighbor cell by detecting a synchronization signal of the at least one neighbor cell and capable of measuring a received signal power from the at least one neighbor cell; and transmitter capable of communicating to a network entity of the wireless network identifying information and the received signal power of the at least one neighbor cell, wherein the network entity determines if the transceiver device is isolated from the at least one neighbor cell based at least on the measured received signal power from the at least one neighbor cell, the receiver being further capable of receiving from the network entity information indicating whether dynamic uplink-downlink reconfiguration can be enabled of the allocation of uplink and downlink subframes used in the cell in which the transceiver is located, wherein dynamic uplink-downlink reconfiguration is enabled if the transceiver device is isolated from the at least one neighbor cell and dynamic uplink-downlink reconfiguration is disabled if the transceiver device is not isolated from the at least one neighbor cell, the information received from the network entity indicating the reconfiguration can be enabled of the allocation of uplink and downlink subframes used in the cell, and the transceiver device further comprising a processor capable of reconfiguring the allocation of uplink and downlink subframes used in the cell.
