Methods for uplink and downlink collision handling in a network enabled with subband adaptation

A method of handling collisions in a Sub Band Full Duplexing (SBFD) operation in a cellular network, the method comprising:

• receiving, by at least one first node, at least one parameter from at least one second node, wherein the at least one parameter comprises at least one of configuration information of at least one subband for SBFD operation and scheduling information,
• wherein the configuration information comprises at least one first time resource, at least one first frequency resource and an identity of the at least one subband,
• wherein the at least one subband is active in the at least one first time resource and the at least one first frequency resource, and
• wherein the scheduling information comprises at least one second time resource, at least one second frequency resource, and one of a type of channel and a type of signal;
• determining, by the at least one first node, an overlap between
• the at least one first time resource and the at least one second time resource, and
• the at least one first frequency resource and the at least one second frequency resource;
• determining, by the at least one first node, at least one third frequency resource and at least one third time resource based on the at least one parameter and the overlap;
• and
• performing, one of transmission, reception and blanking in the at least one third frequency resource and the at least one third time resource.
