Abstract
An apparatus and method for establishing a relay transition time in a network node in a wireless communication system comprising comparing a network node transmit/receive (TX/RX) switch time to a switch threshold; and using a fraction of the cyclic prefix (CP) as a guard period if the network node TX/RX switch time is less than or equal to the switch threshold, or using a sounding reference signal (SRS) configured channel to blank out a last symbol if the network node TX/RX switch time is greater than the switch threshold.

A method for establishing a relay transition time in a network node in a wireless communication system comprising:
- comparing a network node transmit/receive (TX/RX) switch time to a switch threshold;
- and
- using a fraction of the cyclic prefix (CP) as a guard period if the network node TX/RX switch time is less than or equal to the switch threshold, or
- using a sounding reference signal (SRS) configured channel to blank out a last symbol if the network node TX/RX switch time is greater than the switch threshold.
An apparatus for establishing a relay transition time in a network node in a wireless communication system comprising:
- means for comparing a network node transmit/receive (TX/RX) switch time to a switch threshold;
- means for using a fraction of the cyclic prefix (CP) as a guard period if the network node TX/RX switch time is less than or equal to the switch threshold;
- and
- means for using a sounding reference signal (SRS) configured channel to blank out a last symbol if the network node TX/RX switch time is greater than the switch threshold.
An apparatus for establishing a relay transition time in a network node in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising a processor and a memory, the memory containing program code executable by the processor for performing the following:
- comparing a network node transmit/receive (TX/RX) switch time to a switch threshold;
- and
- using a fraction of the cyclic prefix (CP) as a guard period if the network node TX/RX switch time is less than or equal to the switch threshold, or
- using a sounding reference signal (SRS) configured channel to blank out a last symbol if the network node TX/RX switch time is greater than the switch threshold.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program, wherein execution of the computer program is for:
- comparing a network node transmit/receive (TX/RX) switch time to a switch threshold;
- and
- using a fraction of the cyclic prefix (CP) as a guard period if the network node TX/RX switch time is less than or equal to the switch threshold, or
- using a sounding reference signal (SRS) configured channel to blank out a last symbol if the network node TX/RX switch time is greater than the switch threshold.
