There is presented a method for a network node for reducing interference in a wireless device (200), the wireless device operating using a time division duplex, TDD, configuration in a cell, from at least another wireless device operating in a neighbouring cell using another TDD configuration. The TDD configuration is divided into different time units for at least downlink, DL, and uplink, UL, transmission. The method includes assigning time units in the TDD configuration to one of at least two time unit groups, where the assignment of a time unit to a time unit group is based the interference from the neighboring cell using the another TDD configuration. The method further includes using different link adaptions for the at least two time unit groups. The is also presented a network node.

A communication method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: A terminal device determines a first sequence whose length is Σ.sub.i=0.sup.M−1 K.sub.i, and sends the first sequence on M subcarrier groups, where an i.sup.th subcarrier group in the M subcarrier groups includes K.sub.i subcarriers on a same symbol, i=0, 1, . . . , M−1, and frequency domain positions of subcarriers included in any two of the M subcarrier groups are different and belong to different symbols; and a sequence carried in each of the M subcarrier groups is a fragment of the first sequence, and fragments carried in any two subcarrier groups are different. According to the method, the terminal device sends the first sequence on the M subcarrier groups, so that interference between different terminal devices is small when channel estimation is performed by combining M symbols. This can effectively improve accuracy of channel estimation.

Systems and methods for time division duplex (TDD) synchronizing in distributed communication systems (DCSs) synchronize remote units operating with 5G signals by initially connecting these remote units to a 4G TDD source, and once the remote units are synchronized, switching back to a 5G TDD source. By using the downlink synchronization process of 4G instead of the normal synchronization process of 5G, the synchronization of the remote units using 5G is expedited. Further, the 5G receiver is not compressed or otherwise negatively impacted.
