Abstract
Disclosed are methods and systems for adjusting allocation of uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) air interface resources to user equipment devices (UEs) in a wireless communication system configured for dynamic allocation of relative amounts UL and DL time division duplex (TDD) air interface resources. The wireless communication system may determine usage demand for UL air interface resources relative to DL air interface resources as a function of time of day. Then, based on the usage demand, a schedule may be created for assigning a ratio of UL TDD allocation to DL TDD allocation. Finally, dynamic TDD allocation may be applied to set relative amounts of UL and DL air interface time for UEs served by the wireless communication system according to the schedule, instead of applying unscheduled dynamic TDD allocation of relative amounts of UL and DL air interface time.
