Abstract
A method for resource management in a cellular communication network, wherein the network includes at least one base station per cell for a plurality of cells that operates in TDD (Time Division Duplex) transmission mode, wherein the base stations implement a respective UL/DL configuration mode in which frames are composed of a specific sequence of downlink DL, uplink UL and special S subframes, is characterized in that the base stations are operated such that neighboring base stations with adjacent and/or overlapping coverage areas employ different UL/DL configuration modes, wherein interference between neighboring base stations is taken account of by implementing power control on a subframe basis. Furthermore, a resource management system for use in a cellular communication network is described.
