Guard period modification in a time division duplexing wireless system

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for identifying a guard region associated with a transition between a downlink transmission and an uplink transmission in a time division duplex (TDD) system;
• means for identifying timing advances (TAs) for the downlink transmission and the uplink transmission adjacent to the guard region;
• and
• means for dynamically adjusting a guard period within the guard region based at least in part on the identified TAs.

An apparatus for wireless communication, in a system comprising:

• a processor;
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the apparatus to:
• identify a guard region associated with a transition between a downlink transmission and an uplink transmission in a time division duplex (TDD) system;
• identify timing advances (TAs) for the downlink transmission and the uplink transmission adjacent to the guard region;
• and
• dynamically adjust a guard period within the guard region based at least in part on the identified TAs.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing code for wireless communication, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:

• identify a guard region associated with a transition between a downlink transmission and an uplink transmission in a time division duplex (TDD) system;
• identify timing advances (TAs) for the downlink transmission and the uplink transmission adjacent to the guard region;
• and
• dynamically adjust a guard period within the guard region based at least in part on the identified TAs.
