Notifying a UL/DL configuration in LTE TDD systems
A method for configuring a Time Division Duplex (TDD) Uplink/Downlink (UL/DL) allocation in a user equipment (UE) in a Long Term Evolved (LTE) network can include receiving, at a predefined period, during a connected state, each information block transmitted by an enhanced NodeB in the LTE network. Each information block may be transmitted in accordance with a fixed schedule having a predefined transmission period and includes information identifying a TDD configuration. Whether an updating of the TDD configuration is required can be determined for the UE based, at least in part, on the information identifying the TDD configuration in the information block, the information identifying the TDD configuration indicating an updated TDD configuration. In response to at least identifying the updated TDD configuration, the TDD UL/DL allocation of the UE can be automatically updated in accordance with the updated TDD configuration.
