Abstract:
There is provided a frame structure for a cellular communication system. According to an embodiment, there is provided a first radio frame configuration defining a frame structure of a radio frame comprising at least one sub-frame dedicated only for downlink transmission. There is also provided a second radio frame configuration defining a frame structure of a radio frame comprising at least one flexible special sub-frame configurable as either a flexible downlink sub-frame or as a flexible uplink sub-frame, wherein the flexible downlink sub-frame and the flexible uplink sub-frame both comprise an uplink part and a downlink part, and wherein both the uplink part and the downlink part carry at least one of control information and a reference signal. Amongst a set of radio frame configurations comprising at least the first and second radio frame configuration, a radio frame configuration is selected and a radio signal carrying an information element indicating the selected radio frame configuration is exchanged in order to configure the selected radio frame configuration for use in the cellular communication system.

Claim (Index 50):
A method comprising:\n storing, in a terminal device of a cellular communication system, definitions for a first radio frame configuration defining a frame structure of a radio frame comprising at least one sub-frame dedicated only for downlink transmission; storing, in the terminal device, definitions for a second radio frame configuration defining a frame structure of a radio frame comprising at least one flexible special sub-frame configurable as either a downlink sub-frame or as an uplink sub-frame, wherein the flexible downlink sub-frame and the flexible uplink sub-frame both comprise an uplink part and a downlink part, and wherein both the uplink part and the downlink part carry at least one of control information and a reference signal; and receiving, from a network element of a cellular communication system, a radio signal carrying an information element indicating a radio frame configuration applied in a cell of the cellular communication system; and selecting, on the basis of the received information element, a radio frame configuration amongst a set of radio frame configurations comprising at least the first radio frame configuration and the second radio frame configuration and using the selected frame communication in communication with the network element in the cell.
