Abstract:
1. A method of operating a wireless communication system, comprising: a first wireless access node and a second wireless access node exchanging first wireless communications with a wireless communication device using a first time division multiplexing configuration; identifying interference at the wireless communication device between the first wireless access node and the second wireless access node; determining one or more corresponding sub-frames that interfere at the wireless communication device between the first wireless access node and the second wireless access node that that are using the first time division multiplexing configuration; generating a second time division multiplexing configuration that does not cause the interference at the wireless communication device between the first wireless access node and the second wireless access node by changing the one or more corresponding sub-frames into unused sub-frames wherein an unused sub-frame provides a period of time when no uplink or downlink communications are allowed for the wireless communication device; and the first wireless access node and the second wireless access node exchanging second wireless communications with the wireless communication device using the second time division multiplexing configuration.
