Abstract
Systems and methods are provided herein the dynamically select a special subframe used in communication between a cell site and a user equipment (UE). The method begins with determining radio interference metrics for a cell site being used for communication with a UE. A time of flight metric is also determined for the cell site. Based on the radio interference metrics and the time of flight metrics, a gap in a special subframe is adjusted. The special subframe provides two configurations, with a first special subframe having a greater number of gap subframes than the second special subframe.
