  • Publication number: 20240007205
    Abstract: A Transmission Reception Point (TRP 22) of a wireless communication network (10) operates with a Time Division Duplexing (TDD) configuration for downlink and uplink communications, and a network node (18) detects a trigger condition for adapting the TDD configuration, with the trigger condition at least including detection of an impairment condition arising from periodic fading on one or more of the radio links between the TRP and User Equipments (UEs 12). For example, the network node (18) determines that the impairment condition exists and satisfies one or more additional criteria, and, in response, adapts the TDD configuration of the TRP, to improve the responsiveness of Link Adaptation (LA) by the TRP (22). An advantageous recognition underlying responsive adaptation of the TDD configuration is that the TDD configuration of the TRP (22) influences the LA time constant or convergence time of the LA algorithm used by the TRP (22).
