Apparatus, method, and computer program

Abstract

There is provided an apparatus comprising means for receiving from a first access node 901, signalling 9002 comprising a first slot configuration comprising concurrent uplink and downlink transmission opportunities between the first access node and a user equipment served by the first access node, wherein the apparatus is comprised in a second access node 902. The apparatus may further comprise means for determining an interference mitigation mechanism to be deployed by the apparatus during a time slot based on the indicated first slot configuration. The interference mitigation mechanism may comprise at least one of: adjusting a power level or timing of an uplink and / or downlink transmission opportunity scheduled by the apparatus; requesting the first access node to adjust a power level to be used for at least one of the uplink and / or downlink transmission opportunities scheduled by the first access node during the time slot; requesting that the first access node adjusts a timing of at least one of the uplink and / or downlink transmission opportunities scheduled by the first access node during the time slot; or requesting that the first access node abstains from scheduling an uplink and / or downlink transmission opportunity during the time slot.
