Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a method for supporting a dynamic-time division duplex (D-TDD) downlink-uplink configuration in a wireless communication system and to an apparatus therefor. A method in which a first network node supports a dynamic-time division duplex (D-TDD) downlink-uplink configuration according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a step of selecting two or more TDD downlink-uplink configurations from among a plurality of predefined TDD downlink-uplink configurations based on a predetermined rule so as to establish a set of TDD downlink-uplink configurations, wherein the predetermined rule may enable the selection of two or more TDD downlink-uplink configurations from a number of downlink subframe durations constituted by subframes other than a downlink subframe, or from a number of uplink subframe durations constituted by subframes other than an uplink subframe.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of supporting a dynamic-time division duplex (D-TDD) downlink-uplink configuration by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving at least one TDD downlink-uplink configuration set from a network node, wherein the at least one TDD downlink-uplink configuration set is configured by selecting a plurality of TDD downlink-uplink configurations according to a predetermined rule among a plurality of predefin…
