Abstract
A method and a wireless device for operating in a Coordinated Multi Point (CoMP) scenario where the wireless device is served by at least two transmission points of a wireless network employing Time Domain Duplex (TDD). The wireless device receives at least two different uplink-downlink configurations which are valid for corresponding transmission points of the at least two transmission points. The wireless device further monitors a downlink control channel in all possible downlink subframes indicated by the received uplink-downlink configurations and not being assigned with uplink transmission for the wireless device, such that the wireless device monitors the downlink control channel in subframes being indicated as downlink by at least one of the different uplink-downlink configurations.
