1. A method performed by a first wireless communication node, comprising:
receiving a configuration message, wherein the configuration message indicates a configuration of at least one measurement resource from a second wireless communication node;
determining at least one overlapping resource between the at least one measurement resource and a first plurality of resources; and
determining at least one muting resource set among the first plurality of resources based on a selected muting pattern within a selected muting pattern table, wherein the at least one muting resource set comprises the at least one overlapping resource,
wherein the selected muting pattern table comprises a plurality of muting patterns, and the selected muting pattern is selected from the plurality of muting patterns based on a calculated muting pattern index, wherein the muting pattern index is calculated by a modulo operation, wherein the modulo operation comprises obtaining a remainder of a division of a cell identification (ID) number by a number of the first plurality of resources.
