Abstract:
In a time division duplex (TDD) communication system, an unconnected base station that is not directly connected to a core network transmits uplink backhaul signals to a connected base station when the unconnected base station is transmitting downlink signals to one or more user equipment (UE) devices and receives downlink backhaul signals from the connected base station when receiving uplink signals from one or more UE devices. After determining the transmission schedule of the connected base station, the unconnected base station selects a transmission schedule that is orthogonal to the connected base station transmission schedule. Depending on the particular implementation, the unconnected base station may be a repeater base station, a relay base station, or a self-backhauled base station.

Claim (Index 9):
A method performed at an unconnected base station not directly connected to a core network, the method comprising:\n receiving a connected base station time division duplex (TDD) configuration information from a connected base station connected to a core network, the connected base station TDD configuration information indicating a transmission and reception schedule of the connected base station; determining an unconnected base station TDD configuration that is orthogonal to the connected base station TDD configuration; and applying the unconnected base station TDD configuration to the unconnected base station such that the unconnected base station transmits first downlink signals to a first user equipment (UE) device when the connected base station is receiving first uplink signals from a second UE device, the unconnected base station receives second uplink signals from the first UE device when the connected base station is transmitting second downlink signals to the second UE device, and the unconnected base station transmits first backhaul signals to the connected base station when the connected base station is receiving the first uplink signals from the second UE device.
