    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for scheduling a system information block are disclosed, to increase a probability of obtaining a system information block by a terminal. A network device sends a master information block to the terminal, where the master information block includes DMTC period information; and the terminal receives the master information block, and detects a system information block, at a location of a subframe in a DMTC period. Alternatively, the master information block includes DMTC period information and DMTC time window information, and the terminal detects a system information block, at a location of a subframe in a DMTC period and in a DMTC window size. Alternatively, the master information block includes system information block period information or MF system information block content change indication information, and the terminal determines, based on the system information block period information, whether content of the detected system information block is changed.

    Abstract: Example coverage mode identification methods and apparatus are described. One example method includes determining a first coverage mode by a terminal. The terminal determines a preamble sequence based on the first coverage mode, and sends the preamble sequence to a base station, where the preamble sequence is used to determine the first coverage mode. Because the base station can determine the coverage mode of the terminal by using only the preamble sequence sent by the terminal, without using a channel used to receive a signal of the terminal, resources do not need to be grouped or planned, and there is no need to strictly distinguish between different coverage mode sets or groups.

    Abstract: This application provides a data transmission method and apparatus. The method includes: determining a first frequency hopping pattern and a second frequency hopping pattern, wherein the first frequency hopping pattern and the second frequency hopping pattern comprises a same index set of N indexes corresponding to N channels; sending, based on the first frequency hopping pattern, data in each time unit of a first time period by using one of the N channels; and sending, based on the second frequency hopping pattern, data in each time unit of a second time period by using one of the N channels, wherein the first period and the second period are consecutive time periods each comprising N time units, each time unit starts and ends at starting times of two adjacent channels.

    Abstract: Various embodiments provide a carrier switching method on an unlicensed spectrum, a base station, and a terminal device. In those embodiments, a base station may communicate with a terminal device by using a first carrier in an unlicensed spectrum by occupying, within a scheduling cycle, an anchor carrier and any one of a plurality of data carriers in the unlicensed spectrum. The scheduling cycle may include N number of time scheduling unit. The anchor carrier may occupy a first or last M number of time scheduling units of a N number of time scheduling units. The data carrier occupies a time scheduling unit other than the first or last M number of time scheduling units in the N number of time scheduling units. The first carrier is the anchor carrier or the data carrier. The base station may switch from the first carrier to a second carrier.
