Abstract

A method includes, in a mobile communication terminal, receiving signals from a base station in a sequence of time frames. Based on the received signals, a classification of the time frames into first and second types is determined in the terminal, such that a level of interference in the time frames of the first type is lower than the level of interference in the time frames of the second type. The received signals are decoded based on the time frames and the corresponding classification.
