In TDD transmission, Packet can be transmitted only during the TX phase and can be received only during the RX phase
TX window RX window TX window RX window TX window
time

Radio link synchronization: TX and RX phase must be sychronized using a master/slave approach between the end-points of the
link to avoid collision detection algorithms and to optimize link throughput and delay/delay variation performances

Site Synchronization: to avoid TX over RX interference among TDD devices co-located in the same node , TX and RX phase must
be synchronized in all devices in the same site using a master/slave approach among the co-located devices

Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) @ 5 GHz Process

of selection the frequency channel with lowest
interference level. Mandatory also for Radar avoidance
Transmit Power Control (TPC): used to adapt the
transmission power based on regulatory requirements
and received signal information
Directive Antennas: they allow to minimize network
interference
