Abstract:
A guard period for switching between uplink and downlink subframes is created by shortening a downlink subframe, i.e., by not transmitting during one or more symbol intervals at the end of the subframe. A grant message includes signaling indicating when a shortened sublimate is being transmitted. An example method is implemented in a receiving node configured to receive data from a transmitting node in subframes having a predetermined number of symbol intervals. In an LTE system, this receiving node may be a UE, and the subframes are downlink subframes. This example method includes determining that a received subframe is to be shortened, relative to the predetermined number of symbol intervals and, in response to this determination, disregarding a last part of the received subframe by disregarding one or more symbols at the end of the received subframe when processing the received subframe.

Claim (Index 10):
A receiving node comprising a receiver circuit configured to receive data from a transmitting node in subframes of a Time Division Duplex system, wherein a predetermined number of symbol intervals is utilized in a normal subframe, the receiving node further comprising a processing circuit configured to control the receiver circuit and to process subframes received from the transmitting node, wherein the processing circuit is further configured to:\n receive a subframe from the transmitting node via the receiver circuit, wherein a grant message is included in the received subframe, the grant message containing information indicating that fewer symbol intervals will be utilized in the received. subframe than in the normal subframe, and, in response to the information indicating that fewer symbol intervals will be utilized, disregard symbols in one or more symbol intervals at the end of the received subframe when processing the received subframe.
