Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for alleviating time division multiplexing interference between multiple access nodes. In a particular embodiment, a method provides identifying interference between a first and a second wireless access node at a wireless communication device, wherein the first and second wireless access nodes exchange wireless communications using a time division multiplexing wireless protocol on a first carrier frequency. The method further provides determining an uplink/downlink configuration for the time division multiplexing wireless protocol of the first and second wireless access nodes that does not cause the interference. The method also provides exchanging the wireless communications at the first and second wireless access nodes using the uplink/downlink configuration.
