Abstract
A network node, a communication device and methods therein, for handling dynamic uplink/downlink, UL/DL, subframe configurations when operating in Time Division Duplex, TDD. The network node obtains capability information indicating whether the communication device supports carrier aggregation and/or frequency band combination, and also indicating whether the communication device supports simultaneous reception and transmission of signals on different carriers or frequency bands. The network node then determines UL/DL subframe configurations for the communication device based on the obtained capability information such that the communication device is to use different UL/DL subframe configurations for different carriers or frequency bands, when certain conditions are fulfilled.
