Abstract
There is provided a method including determining that a first resource is to be designated as being used in accordance with a first communications protocol; forming an indication for a second apparatus operating in accordance with a second communications protocol, the indication indicating that the first resource is to be blanked; and transmitting, using dedicated signaling, the formed indication to the second apparatus.
Claims24
A method comprising:
- determining that a first resource is to be designated as being used in accordance with a first communications protocol;
- forming an indication for a second apparatus operating in accordance with a second communications protocol, the indication indicating that the first resource is to be blanked;
- and
- transmitting, using dedicated signaling, the formed indication to the second apparatus.
2-5. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a second apparatus operating in accordance with a second communications protocol, via dedicated signaling, an indication that indicates that a first resource is to be blanked and that said first resource is designated as being used in accordance with a first communications protocol;
- and
- treating the first resource as blanked in accordance with the second communications protocol.
7-17. (canceled)
An apparatus comprising;
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory memory comprising code that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:
- determine that a first resource is to be designated as being used in accordance with a first communications protocol;
- form an indication for a second apparatus operating in accordance with a second communications protocol, the indication indicating that the first resource is to be blanked;
- and
- transmit, using dedicated signaling, the formed indication to the second apparatus.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory memory comprising code that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:
- receive, via dedicated signaling, an indication that indicates that a first resource is to be blanked and that said first resource is designated as being used in accordance with a first communications protocol, wherein at the apparatus is a second apparatus operating in accordance with a second communications protocol;
- and
- treat the first resource as blanked in accordance with the second communications protocol.
35-36. (canceled)
A computer readable medium encoded with a computer program comprising computer executable instructions, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
- determine that a first resource is to be designated as being used in accordance with a first communications protocol;
- form an indication for a second apparatus operating in accordance with a second communications protocol, the indication indicating that the first resource is to be blanked;
- and
- cause transmitting, using dedicated signaling, the formed indication to the second apparatus.
