Patent ID: 8781489

Claim:
A method, the method comprising coordinating a first radio resource partitioning scheme being used by a first base station and by a first relay node being served by the first base station with a second radio resource partitioning scheme being used by a second base station and by a second relay node being served by the second base station, the coordinating comprising: acquiring an information from the second base station by the first base station, wherein the information is indicative for a relative timing displacement between a first time pattern of the first radio resource partitioning scheme and a second time pattern of the second radio resource partitioning scheme, and adapting the first time pattern of the first radio resource partitioning scheme, which is used by the first relay node, to the second time pattern of the second radio resource partitioning scheme, which is used by the second relay node, in such a manner that a radio interference between the first relay node and the second relay node is reduced at least partially.
