Communication system with time division duplexing access point operation in quasi full duplex mode

A method of reducing interference in a time division duplexing access point during a quasi-full duplex mode at an access point of base station of a radio access network (RAN) communication system, the method comprising:

• assigning a mobile network operator (MNO) to a plurality of resource blocks that form a subchannel from a plurality of subchannels that services a plurality of MNOs;
• associating each resource block with a range of a plurality of ranges, each range representing a distance range from a transceiver of the base station;
• arranging the resource blocks of the plurality of resource blocks within the subchannel so that resource blocks with associated nearer ranges are positioned near an edge of the subchannel;
• setting a transmission power for each resource block of the plurality of resource blocks based on an associated range of the resource block;
• and
• assigning communications with each user equipment (UE) of at least one UE that is communication with the MNO through the base station to a select resource block within the subchannel based on a location of the UE within a range of the plurality of ranges.

An access point for a radio access network (RAN) communication system communicating with time division duplexing in a quasi-full duplex mode, the communication system comprising:

• a transmission (Tx) signal conditioner configured to regulate a transmission signal power;
• at least one receive (Rx) signal monitoring element configured to determine a condition of received uplink signals in a plurality of subchannels;
• and
• a controller in communication with the Tx signal conditioner and Rx signal monitoring element, the controller configured to:
• monitor a signal quality of received signals from at least one user equipment (UE) at a base station of the RAN through the Rx signal monitoring element;
• control the Tx signal conditioner to reduce a transmission power used to transmit signals from the base station when at least a monitored signal quality goes below a threshold in an associated subchannel while the transmission power used in at least one other subchannel of the plurality of subchannels is not reduced;
• and
• restore a full transmission power to transmit signals once the signal quality of the received signal in the associated subchannel is above the threshold.

• position the resource blocks of the plurality of resource blocks within the subchannel so that resource blocks with associated closer ranges are positioned near an edge of the subchannel;
• set a transmission power for each resource block of the plurality of resource blocks based on an associated range of the resource block;
• and
• assign communications with each UE of the at least one UE to a select resource block within the subchannel based on a location of the UE within a range of the plurality of ranges.
