The base station is not limited to a specific technical term, and it should be noted that only the base station in the NR system is taken as an example for description in the embodiments of the present application, and the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0029] As mentioned earlier, in related technologies, the terminal cannot determine what type of IDC information to report. This IDC information type includes, for example, FDM information and TDM information. FDM information includes the frequency points the terminal is currently affected or may be affected, the affected system type, etc., while TDM information includes the terminal's preferred uplink / downlink TDM pattern (TDM pattern for UL / DL), etc. If the terminal only reports FDM information, it may not adequately address the IDC problem. For example, in situations with limited frequency resources, even if the terminal reports the affected frequency points, the network-side equipment may not be able to provide alternative frequency points. In this case, TDM information needs to be reported, but the terminal does not know when it needs to report TDM information.

[0030] The method for sending IDC information provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides an IDC information sending method 200. The method can be executed by a terminal. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on the terminal. The method includes the following steps.

[0032] S202: The terminal determines the type of the first IDC information according to the first configuration information and / or preset rules. The type of the first IDC information includes IDC information based on Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) (hereinafter referred to as FDM information without loss of generality) and / or IDC information based on Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) (hereinafter referred to as TDM information without loss of generality).

[0033] The first configuration information and the preset rule are used by the terminal to determine the type of the first IDC information. That is, the first configuration information can be used by the terminal to determine the type of the first IDC information, and the preset rule can also be used by the terminal to determine the type of the first IDC information.

[0034] In this embodiment, the terminal can determine the type of the first IDC information based on the first configuration information, or it can determine the type of the first IDC information based on a preset rule, or it can combine the first IDC information and the preset rule to determine the type of the first IDC information.

[0035] In this embodiment, the type of the first IDC information determined by the terminal can be FDM information; can also be TDM information; and can also include FDM information and TDM information, so that the terminal can report the FDM information first, report the TDM information subsequently, or report the FDM information and the TDM information simultaneously in S204.

[0036] The FDM information can include a frequency point that the terminal is being affected or can be affected, a victim system type, and the like. The TDM information can include a TDM pattern for UL / DL preferred by the terminal, and the like.

[0037] Optionally, in one example, the type of the first IDC information includes TDM information, and the terminal determines the type of the first IDC information according to the first configuration information in S202. The terminal determining the type of the first IDC information according to the first configuration information can include that, after the terminal sends the second IDC information, the type of the second IDC information includes FDM information, the terminal determines the type of the first IDC information according to the first configuration information. In this example, after the terminal reports the FDM information, the network-side device configures the terminal to report the TDM information through the first configuration information, and the terminal can determine that the TDM information needs to be reported according to the first configuration information.

[0038] S204: The terminal sends the first IDC information.

[0039] In this step, the terminal can send the first IDC information to the network-side device, and the first IDC information can be the first IDC information determined by the terminal in S202.

[0040] The IDC information sending method provided by the embodiment of the present application can determine the type of the first IDC information to be reported according to the first configuration information and / or a preset rule, the type of the first IDC information includes FDM information and / or TDM information, and the embodiment of the present application solves the problem that the communication performance is affected because the terminal cannot determine what type of IDC information to report, and facilitates to improve the performance of the communication system.

[0041] The IDC information sending method provided by the embodiment of the present application can be based on the configuration of the network-side device, and can be based on different IDC problems or different degrees, and different scenarios, or rules to determine whether to report the IDC information based on TDM or FDM, which can effectively shorten the time for solving the IDC problem, avoid unnecessary signaling load and complexity caused by simultaneously reporting the TDM information and the FDM information, and improve the communication efficiency. In order to describe the above technical effects in detail, the following will be described in combination with several specific embodiments.

For example, the proportion of the number of affected carrier frequency band combinations to the number of target frequency band combinations exceeds the second threshold.

[0063] 10) a first timer expires, and then the TDM information is sent; wherein the first timer is used to control the terminal to send the TDM information.

[0064] In one embodiment, the preset rule comprises the first timer timeout in 10) above, and the method further comprises: the terminal sends the FDM information and starts the first timer before the terminal determines the type of the first IDC information according to the preset rule.
