A wireless communication device for enabling half-duplex communication, comprising: a processor; memory in electronic communication with the processor; instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable to: receive, from an evolved Node, eNB, (i) an offset of k subframes and an indicator or (ii) an indicator including an offset of k subframes, k being larger than 1; determine a half-duplex frame structure with a regular uplink, UL, and downlink, DL, switching pattern based on the indicator, the half-duplex frame structure comprising at least one UL subframe group including 4+k consecutive UL subframes including the offset of k subframes and at least one DL subframe group including 4+k consecutive DL subframes including the offset of k subframes, the regular uplink, UL, and downlink, DL, switching pattern indicating that a point in time when said at least one UL subframe group is switched to said at least DL subframe group and a point in time when said at least one DL subframe group is switched to said at least UL subframe group are recurrent in the half-duplex frame structure; receive DL information in at least one of the DL subframes; and send UL information in at least one of the UL subframes, and the instructions are further executable to apply the offset to a Physical Downlink Shared Channel, PDSCH, Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Acknowledgement, HARQ-ACK, association, to a Physical Uplink Shared Channel, PUSCH, scheduling association and to a PUSCH HARQ-ACK association. a processor; memory in electronic communication with the processor; instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable to: receive, from an evolved Node, eNB, (i) an offset of k subframes and an indicator or (ii) an indicator including an offset of k subframes, k being larger than 1; determine a half-duplex frame structure with a regular uplink, UL, and downlink, DL, switching pattern based on the indicator, the half-duplex frame structure comprising at least one UL subframe group including 4+k consecutive UL subframes including the offset of k subframes and at least one DL subframe group including 4+k consecutive DL subframes including the offset of k subframes, the regular uplink, UL, and downlink, DL, switching pattern indicating that a point in time when said at least one UL subframe group is switched to said at least DL subframe group and a point in time when said at least one DL subframe group is switched to said at least UL subframe group are recurrent in the half-duplex frame structure; receive DL information in at least one of the DL subframes; and send UL information in at least one of the UL subframes, and receive, from an evolved Node, eNB, (i) an offset of k subframes and an indicator or (ii) an indicator including an offset of k subframes, k being larger than 1; determine a half-duplex frame structure with a regular uplink, UL, and downlink, DL, switching pattern based on the indicator, the half-duplex frame structure comprising at least one UL subframe group including 4+k consecutive UL subframes including the offset of k subframes and at least one DL subframe group including 4+k consecutive DL subframes including the offset of k subframes, the regular uplink, UL, and downlink, DL, switching pattern indicating that a point in time when said at least one UL subframe group is switched to said at least DL subframe group and a point in time when said at least one DL subframe group is switched to said at least UL subframe group are recurrent in the half-duplex frame structure; receive DL information in at least one of the DL subframes; and send UL information in at least one of the UL subframes, and
