Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for minimization of network node to network node interference in Time Division Duplex (TDD) network. According to one embodiment, a method in a network node for re-mote interference management includes receiving information indicating a position for a reference signal within a communication signal slot, the position being indicated being indicated relative to a reference point associated with a downlink-to-uplink switch; at least one of transmitting the reference signal and receiving the reference signal based at least in part on the received information; and determining whether remote interference is present based at least in part on at least one of the received reference signal and the received information indicating the position of the reference signal.
