TDD Frame Structure with Unified Timing for Dynamic Configuration

The patent changes the timing parameter from multiple configuration-specific values to a unified value. By setting the timing length to a fixed K subframes regardless of the uplink-downlink configuration ratio, the system maintains adaptability to different traffic demands while simplifying the protocol design. The base station determines the frame structure based on traffic needs and applies the same timing relationship K to all configurations.

The patent unifies the timing parameter across all uplink-downlink configurations by setting it to a fixed value of K subframes. This ensures that latency remains consistent regardless of the specific configuration ratio used, while the system can still adapt to different traffic demands by selecting appropriate frame structures within the unified timing framework.

The patent reduces switching overhead by unifying the timing parameter to a fixed value K subframes across all configurations. This eliminates the need for complex timing adjustments when switching between different uplink-downlink configuration ratios, allowing the system to maintain configuration flexibility while minimizing the time and resources required for switching operations.
