A method, network node and wireless device configured for allocating resources for reverse link transmissions from a second network node to a first network node and forward link transmissions from the first network node to the second network node in a wireless communication system are disclosed. According to one aspect, the method includes selecting a per-band duplexing cadence for each of at least two frequency bands, a duplexing cadence defining a forward link/reverse link pattern of adjacent successive time slots. The method also includes allocating each of the at least two frequency bands to one of forward link and reverse link transmission in each of adjacent successive time slots according to the per-band duplexing cadence for the frequency band.

Hybrid frequency and time duplexing communications

A method and network node for determining radio resources for allocation to a downlink control channel in a communication network are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method includes receiving, over a predetermined measurement period, a plurality of reports from a wireless device, each report being indicative of a channel quality within at least a subband of an available bandwidth of the communication network. The method further includes for each subband for which at least one report has been received, determining a variance of the channel quality and an average of the channel quality over the predetermined measurement period. The method further includes determining subbands having at least a variance of the channel quality less than a first threshold.

Feedback assisted downlink control channel configuration

A method and node for power efficient allocation of enhanced physical downlink control channel resources are disclosed. According one aspect, a method at a network node of allocating an enhanced control channel to a first wireless device is provided. The method includes determining a control channel subframe pattern for the first wireless device. The subframe pattern for the first wireless device includes at least an indication of a pattern of subframes during which the first wireless device is to monitor the enhanced control channel for downlink control information. The subframe pattern is based at least in part on enhanced control channel subframe utilization of other wireless devices. The method also includes transmitting the control channel subframe pattern to the first wireless device, and transmitting the downlink control channel information to the first wireless device over the enhanced control channel according to the enhanced control channel subframe pattern.
