Abstract
The invention relates to methods for avoiding in-device coexistence (IDC) interference in a mobile terminal in a mobile communication system, apparatus for performing these methods, and computer readable media instructions to cause the apparatus to perform the methods. In order to avoid IDC interference, an IDC interference indication is reported for at least one of a first cell and a second cell on which an interference condition is detected. In response, an activation/deactivation pattern is received for at least one of the first and second cells for which the interference condition is detected. The activation/deactivation pattern indicates an off-duration and an offset specifying a time-period during which communication via the at least one of the first and second cells is to be deactivated. According to the activation/deactivation pattern, first and second subframes are determined, at which the communication via the at least one of the first and second cells is to be deactivated and re-activated, respectively.
