Methods radio network nodes and user equipment for alleviating interference in a radio communication network
Methods and radio network nodes (BS1, BS2) for alleviating interference on downlink radio signals in a victim User Equipment, UE (T1, T2), caused by uplink transmission from an aggressor UE (T2, T1). The interference occurs during a flexible subframe in which the direction of signal transmission is variable between uplink and downlink in different radio frames. A first radio network node (BS1) detects (4:1) that a first UE (T1) that is served by the first radio network node (BS1) is one of the victim and aggressor UEs. The first radio network node (BS1) identifies (4:2) a second radio network node (BS2) employing a subframe scheme such that uplink transmission from the aggressor UE may overlap at least partly with downlink reception in the victim UE during the flexible subframe. The first radio network node (BS1) sends (4:3) a notification to the second radio network node, indicating that the first UE is served by the first radio network node. The second radio network node (BS2) is thereby triggered to execute (4:5) an interference mitigation action for alleviating the interference when serving a second UE (T2) being the other one of the victim and aggressor UEs.
