Abstract:
1. A method comprising: determining, by a communication device, timings of at least one of receiving and sending data over at least two aggregated component carriers in at least one sub frame time period, wherein the determining comprises determining whether a time division duplex configuration of a first aggregated component carrier and a second aggregated component carrier of the at least two aggregated component carriers is same or different during a sub frame time period of the at least one sub frame time period; and based at least on the determining that the time division duplex configuration is same or different during the sub frame time period, setting the timings of the at least one of receiving and sending data over the at least two aggregated component carriers so that the second aggregated component carrier is one of allowed or prevented from transmitting or receiving data during the sub frame time period when the first aggregated component carrier is transmitting or receiving data, respectively, in the sub frame time period.
