Abstract
Radio frame configuration circuitry for use in a device of a wireless communication system is provided. The radio frame configuration circuitry uses control circuitry to select between a plurality of different time-division duplex, TDD, configurations for a radio frame having slots with a configured duration. Transceiver circuitry performs TDD communications based on selections made by the control circuitry such that an average periodicity of switching between transmission of information and reception of information during the TDD communication is the same despite switching between different ones of the plurality of different TDD configurations. The radio frame configuration circuitry can be incorporated in a UE or an eNodeB or a Peer Radio Head. A corresponding method is provided.
