Channel detection notification method, channel detection notification system and base stations

Abstract

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.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a channel detection notification method when an LTE system works in an unlicensed frequency band, a channel detection notification system when an LTE system works in an unlicensed frequency band, and a base station. Background technique [0002] With the rapid increase of communication traffic, the authorized spectrum of 3GPP is increasingly insufficient to provide higher network capacity. In order to further improve the utilization of spectrum resources, 3GPP is discussing how to use unlicensed spectrum, such as 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands, with the help of licensed spectrum. These unlicensed spectrums are currently mainly used by Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, radar, medical and other systems. [0003] Usually, access technologies designed for licensed frequency bands, such as LTE (Long Term Evolution, long-term evolution) are not suitable for use in unlicensed frequency...

Under this fixed-period structure, only subframe #0 can perform CCA. If the service arrives in subframe #1, it must wait until subframe #0 of the next period performs CCA before judging whether the channel can be used. Occupied, resulting in a large delay
