The invention provides a channel detection notification method, a channel detection
notification system and base stations used when an LTE
system works at an unauthorized
frequency band. The channel detection notification method includes the steps that the
primary cell base station receives RRM measuring results, reported by a terminal, of multiple base stations at the unauthorized
frequency band; according to the RRM measuring results of the base stations, the secondary
cell base station is selected for the terminal; if it is determined that downlink traffic reaches a set first traffic threshold value, the secondary
cell base station is informed to conduct downlink channel detection; if it is determined that uplink traffic reaches a set second traffic threshold value, the secondary
cell base
station and / or the terminal are / is informed to conduct
uplink channel detection. According to the channel detection notification method, channel detection work conducted when the LTE
system works at the unauthorized
frequency band is managed by the
primary cell base
station in a united mode, the time
delay generated when the secondary cell base
station and / or the terminal carry / carries out channel detection can be effectively shortened, accuracy at which channel detection time is judged can be improved, and the
resource utilization rate is increased when the LTE
system works at the unauthorized frequency band.
