Abstract:
1. A method for managing change-over in radio functionality at a radio front-end in a Time Division Duplexing (TDD) system, the method comprising: a. storing at least one control command; b. receiving a trigger time corresponding to the at least one control command, wherein the trigger time corresponds to a timing requirement, the timing requirement being base at least in part on a time required by physical components of the radio front-end to settle down after a change-over is initialized; and c. releasing the at least one control command based on a predetermined condition, wherein the change-over occurs in response to the releasing, wherein the at least one control command corresponds to the change-over, the change-over being at least one of a transmitter-to-receiver change-over and a receiver-to-transmitter change-over, wherein the predetermined condition comprises matching a count of a counter module with the trigger time at predetermined intervals of time, the count of the counter module being incremented at the predetermined intervals of time, wherein the at least one control command is released, if the trigger time matches the count of the counter module.
