Abstract
Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of Time-Division Duplexing (TDD) Uplink-Downlink (UL-DL) configuration management. For example, a node may communicate a message including a cell identifier identifying a first cell controlled by the node, and a TDD configuration update to update at least one other node, which controls at least one second cell, with a TDD UL-DL configuration allocated by the node for communication within the first cell.
Claims27
At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a system to:
- control communication of a message to share load information in an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) time-division-duplexing (TDD) long term evolution (LTE) or LTE advanced (LTE-A) cellular system, the message having a first information element (IE) to indicate a cell identifier for a first wireless communication cell, a second IE to indicate uplink-downlink (UL-DL) configuration information intended to be used by the first wireless communication cell, and a third IE to indicate a cell identifier for a second wireless communication cell;
- and
- send the message over a communication channel.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a message to share load information in an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) time-division-duplexing (TDD) cellular system, the message having a first information element (IE) to indicate a cell identifier for a first wireless communication cell, a second IE to indicate uplink-downlink (UL-DL) configuration information intended to be used by the first wireless communication cell, and a third IE to indicate a cell identifier for a second wireless communication cell;
- and
- allocating an UL-DL configuration for the second wireless communication cell based at least in part on the UL-DL configuration information intended to be used by the first wireless communication cell.
A method, comprising:
- controlling transmission of a load information message of an X2 application protocol (X2AP) over an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) time-division-duplexing (TDD) cellular system, the load information message having a cell identifier information element (IE) to indicate a cell identifier for a wireless communication cell, and an uplink-downlink (UL-DL) configuration update IE to indicate UL-DL configuration information intended to be used by the wireless communication cell indicated by the cell identifier;
- and
- sending the load information message over a communication channel.
At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a system to:
- generate a message to share load information in an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) time-division-duplexing (TDD) cellular system, the message having a first information element (IE) to indicate a cell identifier for a first wireless communication cell, a second IE to indicate uplink-downlink (UL-DL) configuration information intended to be used by the first wireless communication cell, and a third IE to indicate a cell identifier for a second wireless communication cell;
- and
- send the load information message over a communication channel.
