    Abstract: Carrier aggregation and dual connectivity leverage multiple component carriers to increase the effective bandwidth available to a given UE. Embodiments of this disclosure extend the concept of carrier aggregation and dual connectivity by using a physical component carrier and one or more virtual component carriers from one physical component carrier group and/or one virtual component carrier group, which have the same carrier frequency and carrier bandwidth as the physical component carrier, to transmit data streams to a user equipment. Data streams communicated over the physical component carrier and the virtual component carrier(s) may be orthogonal in the time domain or code domain. Alternatively, data streams communicated over the physical component carrier and the virtual component carrier(s) may be non-orthogonal, in which case the UE may need to decode the respective data streams using non-orthogonal signal processing techniques.

    Abstract: A method of data communication, comprising: obtaining resource unit information associated with a physical uplink channel; determining an identifier at least in part based on the resource unit information; and using the identifier for transmission of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). Also, a method of data communication, comprising: obtaining resource unit information associated with a physical uplink channel; determining an identifier at least in part based on the resource unit information; and using the identifier for transmission of a physical downlink channel. Also, an apparatus comprising a processor and an RF communication unit, the processor configured to obtain resource unit information associated with a physical uplink channel; determine an identifier at least in part based on the resource unit information; and use the identifier for transmission of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) or a physical downlink channel.

    Abstract: A random access method and an apparatus are described that provide improved transmission efficiency of a response message based on the response message scheduled by a plurality of PDCCHs. A terminal device receives a first control channel resource set used to monitor a common physical downlink control channel PDCCH and a second control channel resource set used to monitor a specific PDCCH that are sent by a network device. The terminal device sends a first message to the network device, and the terminal device monitors a first search space corresponding to the first control channel resource set and a second search space corresponding to the second control channel resource set to receive at least one of the common PDCCH and the specific PDCCH, to schedule a PDSCH that carries a response message of the first message.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for determining a time domain resource mapped by a reference signal, and relate to the field of communications technologies, to ensure correct data demodulation. The method includes: determining, by user equipment based on configuration information, a time domain resource mapped by a reference signal and/or a subcarrier spacing of the reference signal, where the configuration information includes predefined first configuration information and/or second configuration information sent by a base station. The method is applied to a scenario of determining the time domain resource mapped by the reference signal.

    Abstract: A resource determining method is provided. The method includes: determining a time domain position and a resource unit type of a first time domain resource unit based on first configuration information; determining a time domain position of a second time domain resource unit based on the time domain position of the first time domain resource unit, where the time domain position of the second time domain resource unit is at a time domain position which is different from the time domain position of the first time domain resource unit and is within a preset time period; and receiving second configuration information from a network-side device, and determining a resource unit type of the second time domain resource unit based on the second configuration information. Thus, subframe types of various subframes in D-TDD can be determined.
