Abstract

For protecting transmission of a control message (60) in a mobile communications network between a first access node (10a) and a user equipment, an indication of at least one protected time-slot for transmitting the control message may be transmitted in response to a need for transmitting the control message (60). The indication is transmitted between the first access node (10a) and a second access node (10b). Transmission of the indication prompts reduction of spectral interference caused by the second access node (10b) during the at least one protected time-slot (30).
