Abstract
Methods, systems, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium for providing advanced scheduling for downlink frequency division duplex (FDD) resources when sounding reference signal (SRS) transmitter switching is in progress are provided. Initially, the node receives an indication that the user equipment (UE) is sharing at least one antenna between FDD and time division duplex (TDD). The node determines the SRS periodicity for the UE. Based on the SRS periodicity, the node provides advance scheduling for downlink FDD resources when SRS transmitter switching is in progress for an FDD receive slot of the at least one antenna. For example, the node may provide downlink FDD resources to other UEs. Additionally or alternatively, the node may blank the corresponding FDD receive slots of the at least one antenna.
