1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code;
the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
receive a resource configuration for a first cell group link;
receive a resource configuration for a second cell group link;
determine a mode of operation, wherein the mode of operation is one of time division duplexing, spatial division duplexing or frequency division duplexing between the first cell group link and the second cell group link;
determine a resource type for the first cell group link or the second cell group link based on the resource configuration for the first cell group link, the resource configuration for the second cell group link and the mode of operation;
determine that the resource configuration for the first cell group link and the resource configuration for the second cell group link form a predefined combination, wherein the predefined combination is one of:
the resource configuration for the first cell group link is ‘downlink’ and the resource configuration for the second cell group link is ‘flexible’; or
the resource configuration for the first cell group link is ‘uplink’ and the resource configuration for the second cell group link is ‘flexible’; and
determine that the resource type for the first cell group link is ‘downlink’, ‘uplink’ or ‘flexible’ and the resource type for the second cell group link is ‘not available’.
