Method and system for dynamic adjustment of downlink/uplink allocation ratio in LTE/TDD system

A station configured for dynamic adjustment of downlink/uplink resource allocation ratio in a long-term evolution (LTE) time division duplex (TDD) system, comprising:

• a processor configured to replace at least one uplink subframe in a subframe pattern with at least one of a mute subframe and a mute uplink pilot timeslot (UpPTS), within a geographical guard area that isolates at least two areas having different TDD allocation patterns;
• and
• a scheduler configured to schedule an uplink transmission from at least one mobile terminal such that the at least one of the mute subframe and the mute UpPTS are unused, further comprising:
• a processor configured to perform a TDD configuration index substitution l→i when applying the functional configuration from TDD allocation Ci to TDD allocation Al containing a mute subframe wherein the substitution mapping l→i is determined Ci=Al(M=D) and is determined by a lookup table.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions thereon that when executed by a processor perform a method for dynamic adjustment of downlink/uplink resource allocation ratio in a long-term evolution (LTE) time division duplex (TDD) system, the method comprising:

• replacing at least one uplink subframe in a subframe pattern with at least one of a mute subframe and a mute uplink pilot timeslot (UpPTS), within a geographical guard area that isolates at least two areas having different TDD allocation patterns;
• and
• scheduling an uplink transmission from at least one mobile terminal such that the at least one of the mute subframe and the mute UpPTS are unused, the method further comprising:
• performing a TDD configuration index substitution l→i when applying the functional configuration from TDD allocation Ci TDD allocation Al containing a mute subframe wherein the substitution mapping l→i is determined b Ci=Al(M=D) and is determined by a lookup table.
