Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to dual connectivity methods. In one example method, a first access network device sends a request message to a second access network device, where the request message is used to request the second access network device to serve as a secondary access network device of a terminal served by the first access network device. Then, the first access network device receives an acknowledgment message from the second access network device, where the acknowledgment message is used to acknowledge to the first access network device that the second access network device agrees to serve as the secondary access network device of the terminal.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a terminal device, in which a processing module selects one or more normal carriers or special carriers from a first carrier set for an uplink subframe, where the first carrier set includes all carriers in carrier aggregation that are used by the terminal device to send a first uplink subframe; and a sending module cancels sending of the uplink subframe on one or more carriers, where the special carrier is a carrier on which the terminal device sends neither uplink data nor uplink control information in uplink, and the normal carrier is a carrier that is used by the terminal device to send uplink data and/or uplink control information. An uplink subframe on some carriers is rejected, thereby resolving a problem that information such as a downlink channel characteristic of a carrier cannot be obtained when no uplink reference signal is sent on the carrier.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a demodulation reference signal transmission apparatus, system, and method. The method includes: sending, by a base station, a configuration indication to user equipment UE, where the configuration indication is used to instruct the UE to send an independent DMRS and/or instruct the UE to send a combination of a DMRS and uplink data; and subsequently receiving, by the base station, the independent DMRS sent by the UE; and/or receiving the combination of the DMRS and the uplink data sent by the UE. In this way, the base station can trigger the UE to send the foregoing DMRS to complete frequency offset estimation, thereby improving accuracy of the frequency offset estimation.
Abstract:
An apparatus for data transmission according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a processor, configured to determine a transmission time interval TTI for performing data transmission with terminal device; and a transmitter, configured to perform data transmission with the UE by using the determined TTI; where the TTI is shorter than 1 ms. By reducing a length of a TTI, a minimum unit of data scheduling is shortened, and therefore, an RTT is reduced. Another apparatus is disclosed. By determining an HARQ time sequence according to a processing delay of UE, an HARQ process becomes compact in time, and an RTT is effectively shortened.
Abstract:
A data transmission method, apparatus, and system are provided, where the method includes: receiving, by user equipment, a data scheduling request sent by a base station, where the data scheduling request carries resource information allocated to scheduled data by the base station, and the resource information includes an unlicensed spectrum resource; determining whether a condition for transmission of the scheduled data on an unlicensed spectrum is met; and if the condition for transmission of the scheduled data on the unlicensed spectrum is met, sending the scheduled data to the base station by using the unlicensed spectrum resource. In the present invention, data transmission reliability can be improved.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a TDD (time division duplex) uplink-downlink configuration acquiring method and apparatus, which relate to the field of communications systems, and can reduce system signaling overheads. The method includes: first sending, by a network-side node, physical downlink control signaling and a configuration message to user equipment, and then acquiring, by the user equipment, TDD uplink-downlink configurations separately corresponding to serving cells from at least one TDD uplink-downlink configuration command according to a correspondence between each serving cell of the serving cells of the user equipment and a location, in the physical downlink control signaling, of a corresponding TDD uplink-downlink configuration command. The embodiments of the present disclosure apply to a case that user equipment applies, for serving cells, TDD uplink-downlink configurations.
Abstract:
When a terminal switches from a downlink subframe to an adjacent uplink subframe, generating a first guard period, where that the terminal does not process any signal in the first guard period is defined, that is, the terminal neither receives downlink data nor sends an uplink signal in the first guard period, and therefore uncertainty of a terminal behavior during a downlink-to-uplink switching process of the terminal is avoided, and successful sending of the uplink subframe can be ensured; and when the terminal switches from an uplink subframe to a downlink subframe, generating a second guard period, where the second guard period overlaps the uplink subframe or the downlink subframe, and that the terminal does not process any signal in the second guard period is defined, and therefore uncertainty of a terminal behavior during an uplink-to-downlink switching process of the terminal is avoided.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a capability matching method, an apparatus, and a system. The method includes: before a UE initiates a random access process, identifying, by the UE, a capability of a network side device, and when the UE identifies that the network side device is a network side device that does not support LC-MTC, reselecting, by the UE, to access another network side device. By means of the capability matching method, the apparatus, and the system provided in the embodiments of the present invention, a problem that a capability mismatch occurs between a UE and a network side device is avoided, and a waste of authorized resources, extra power consumption of a UE, and an interruption of data transmission are avoided.
