    摘要: A method and an apparatus for use in a communication network are provided. First protocol elements are acquired from a user plane of a first network entity of the communication network, the first network entity having a split network function into the user plane and a control plane. Second protocol elements are acquired from the control plane of the first network entity, and third protocol elements are generated from the first and second protocol elements for a second network entity of the communication network, the second network entity being separate from the first network entity.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The present disclosure provides a method for transmitting uplink signals, a user equipment (UE), and a base station. The UE determines an LBT type and a starting position of signal transmission according to scheduling information and LBT type of a previous subframe, a current subframe, and a subsequent subframe and whether there is a gap between these subframes.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method of forming a virtual cell in a heterogeneous network, a macro base station and a transmission point device. At a macro base station, terminal devices and transmission points cooperating with the macro base station in a macro cell of the macro base station are divided into at least a first set of devices and a second set of devices based on positions of the terminal devices and positions of the transmission points, the first set of devices and the second set of devices being adjacent and non-over-lapping and each including at least one of the transmission points and at least one of the terminal devices. For a target terminal device in the first set of devices, channel state information between the target terminal device and the transmission points in the first set of devices and in the second set of devices is acquired. A power constraint for the transmission points is determined based on the channel state information, and based on the power constraint, at least one of the transmission points is selected for the target terminal device from the first set of devices to construct a virtual cell. Thereby, an interference coordination scheme is achieved which enhances the network performance while realizing low transmission signaling overhead and computational costs, and thus a construction of a virtual cell for the terminal device is facilitated.
