[0047] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages to be solved by the present invention more clear, a detailed description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for configuring a frame structure, including:

[0049] Step 11, sending at least two cell-level frame structure configuration information to the terminal; each cell-level frame structure configuration information includes: a period of cell-level uplink and / or downlink resources and configuration information of the uplink and / or downlink resources within the period.

[0050] In this step, since the above-mentioned cell-level frame structure configuration information belongs to the cell-level configuration information, which is the configuration information indicated by the system broadcast information and is generally not changed at will, the cell-level configuration information is usually considered to be static configuration information. However, at the same time, the cell-level configuration information can also be changed at the cell level during the system information change process, so the cell-level configuration information can also be considered to be semi-static configuration information.

[0051] Specifically, the period of the uplink and / or downlink resources included in the cell-level frame structure configuration information can be statically configured at the cell level or semi-statically configured at the cell level; the configuration information of the uplink and / or downlink resources included in the cell-level frame structure configuration information can also be statically configured at the cell level or semi-statically configured at the cell level.

[0052] The periods of the two cell-level uplink and / or downlink resources cascaded in the time domain are different; and / or the configuration information of the uplink and / or downlink resources in the two periods cascaded in the time domain is different.

[0053] Specifically, in the above embodiment of the present invention, when the periods of two cell-level uplink and / or downlink resources cascaded in the time domain are different, the configuration information of the uplink and / or downlink resources in the two periods cascaded in the time domain may be the same or different;

[0054] Similarly, when the configuration information of the uplink and / or downlink resources in two periods cascaded in the time domain is different, the periods of the two cell-level uplink and / or downlink resources cascaded in the time domain may be the same or different.

[0055] For example, Figure 2The figure shows a combination of two frame structures with the same period and different uplink and / or downlink resource configuration information, which are cascaded in the time domain. Figure 3 It shows a combination of two frame structures with different periods cascaded in the time domain and different configuration information of uplink and / or downlink resources.

[0056] Preferably, the at least two cell-level frame structure configuration information in the above embodiment of the present invention are cascaded and repeated in the time domain to form the cell-level target frame structure configuration information;

[0057] The period of the cell-level uplink and / or downlink resources in the cell-level target frame structure configuration information is the sum of the cascaded periods of the at least two cell-level uplink and / or downlink resources. Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , after the cell-level frame structure configuration information of two frame structures with a period of 1 ms are cascaded in the time domain, the period of the target frame in the cell-level target frame structure configuration information formed by cascading in the time domain is 2 ms (1 ms + 1 ms). Figure 3 As shown, after the cell-level frame structure configuration information of two frame structures with periods of 2ms and 0.5ms respectively cascaded in the time domain is cascaded in the time domain, the period of the target frame in the cell-level target frame structure configuration information formed is 2.5ms (2ms+0.5ms).

[0058] For example, on the basis of broadcasting the first cell-level frame structure configuration information in the system message, at least another (second) cell-level frame structure configuration information needs to be broadcast; the period information configured in the second cell-level frame structure configuration information is different from the period information configured in the first cell-level frame structure configuration information; and / or, the uplink and downlink resource configuration information configured in the second cell-level frame structure configuration information is different from the uplink and downlink resource configuration information configured in the first cell-level frame structure configuration information.

[0059] The above two identical or different cycles are sequentially connected and combined in the time domain to form a new cycle, and the new cycle is continuously repeated in the time domain.

[0060] Preferably, the period of the cell-level uplink and / or downlink resources includes one of: 0.5ms, 1ms, 2ms, 5ms and 10ms.

[0061] Specifically, a 2ms period can be obtained by 1ms+1ms; a 2.5ms period can be obtained by 2ms+0.5ms, a 3ms period can be obtained by 1ms+2ms, a 4ms period can be obtained by 2ms+2ms, and a 20ms period can be obtained by 10ms+10ms, which are not listed one by one here.

[0062] In summary, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention provide a dual-cycle or multi-cycle frame structure configuration method based on a single-cycle design, and send at least two cell-level frame structure configuration information cascaded in the time domain to the terminal, and the periods of the two cell-level uplink and / or downlink resources cascaded in the time domain are different; and / or the configuration information of the uplink and / or downlink resources in the two periods cascaded in the time domain is different; the embodiments of the present invention can use a limited number of typical single cycles to combine a variety of new cycles, effectively improving the scalability of the system and the flexibility of resource configuration.

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for obtaining a frame structure, including:

[0064] Step 41, receiving at least two cell-level frame structure configuration information sent by the base station; each cell-level frame structure configuration information includes: the period of the cell-level uplink and / or downlink resources and the configuration information of the uplink and / or downlink resources within the period; wherein, the periods of the two cell-level uplink and / or downlink resources cascaded in the time domain are different; and / or, the configuration information of the uplink and / or downlink resources within the two periods cascaded in the time domain is different.

[0065] Specifically, in the above embodiment of the present invention, when the periods of two cell-level uplink and / or downlink resources cascaded in the time domain are different, the configuration information of the uplink and / or downlink resources in the two periods cascaded in the time domain may be the same or different;

[0066] Similarly, when the configuration information of the uplink and / or downlink resources in two periods cascaded in the time domain is different, the periods of the two cell-level uplink and / or downlink resources cascaded in the time domain may be the same or different.

[0067] Step 42: Determine a cell-level target frame structure configuration result according to the at least two cell-level frame structure configuration information.

[0068] For example, Figure 2 The figure shows a combination of two frame structures with the same period and different uplink and / or downlink resource configuration information, which are cascaded in the time domain. Figure 3 It shows a combination of two frame structures with different periods cascaded in the time domain and different configuration information of uplink and / or downlink resources.

[0069] Preferably, step 42 includes:

[0070] Determine that the at least two cell-level frame structure configuration information are cascaded and repeated in the time domain to form cell-level target frame structure configuration information;

[0071] Determine a target period of a cell-level target frame structure according to the cell-level target frame structure configuration information; wherein the target period is the sum of the period cascade of the at least two cell-level uplink and / or downlink resources;

[0072] According to the cell-level target frame structure configuration information, the configuration information of the uplink and / or downlink resources in the target period is determined.

[0073] like Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , after the cell-level frame structure configuration information of two frame structures with a period of 1 ms are cascaded in the time domain, the period of the target frame in the cell-level target frame structure configuration information formed by cascading in the time domain is 2 ms (1 ms + 1 ms). Figure 3 As shown, after the cell-level frame structure configuration information of two frame structures with periods of 2ms and 0.5ms respectively cascaded in the time domain is cascaded in the time domain, the period of the target frame in the cell-level target frame structure configuration information formed is 2.5ms (2ms+0.5ms).

[0074] For example, on the basis of broadcasting the first cell-level frame structure configuration information in the system message, at least another (second) cell-level frame structure configuration information needs to be broadcast; the period information configured in the second cell-level frame structure configuration information is different from the period information configured in the first cell-level frame structure configuration information; and / or, the uplink and downlink resource configuration information configured in the second cell-level frame structure configuration information is different from the uplink and downlink resource configuration information configured in the first cell-level frame structure configuration information.

[0075] The above two identical or different cycles are sequentially connected and combined in the time domain to form a new cycle, and the new cycle is continuously repeated in the time domain.

[0076] Preferably, the period of the cell-level uplink and / or downlink resources includes one of: 0.5ms, 1ms, 2ms, 5ms and 10ms.

[0077] Specifically, a 2ms period can be obtained by 1ms+1ms; a 2.5ms period can be obtained by 2ms+0.5ms, a 3ms period can be obtained by 1ms+2ms, a 4ms period can be obtained by 2ms+2ms, and a 20ms period can be obtained by 10ms+10ms, which are not listed one by one here.

[0078] In summary, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention provide a dual-cycle or multi-cycle frame structure configuration method based on a single-cycle design, and send at least two cell-level frame structure configuration information cascaded in the time domain to the terminal, and the periods of the two cell-level uplink and / or downlink resources cascaded in the time domain are different; and / or the configuration information of the uplink and / or downlink resources in the two periods cascaded in the time domain is different; the embodiments of the present invention can use a limited number of typical single cycles to combine a variety of new cycles, effectively improving the scalability of the system and the flexibility of resource configuration.

[0079] like Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a base station, including a processor 500 and a transceiver 510, wherein the transceiver 510 is used to perform the following process:

[0080] Sending at least two cell-level frame structure configuration information to the terminal; each cell-level frame structure configuration information includes: a period of cell-level uplink and / or downlink resources and configuration information of the uplink and / or downlink resources within the period;

[0081] The periods of the two cell-level uplink and / or downlink resources cascaded in the time domain are different; and / or the configuration information of the uplink and / or downlink resources in the two periods cascaded in the time domain is different.

[0082] In the above embodiment of the present invention, the at least two cell-level frame structure configuration information are cascaded and repeated in the time domain to form the cell-level target frame structure configuration information;

[0083] The period of the cell-level uplink and / or downlink resources in the cell-level target frame structure configuration information is the sum of the cascaded periods of the at least two cell-level uplink and / or downlink resources.
