Wireless frequency spectrum resource is also referred to as frequency resource, is often referred to long wave, medium wave, shortwave, ultrashort wave and microwave.Refer generally to the general name of the radio frequency of emitting radio wave in the 9KHz-3000GHz frequency range.Radio communication belongs to a kind of in the telecommunications, according to International Telecommunications Union " radio regulation(s) ", telecommunications (telecommunication) is defined as utilizes transmission of Information, emission or the reception for symbol, signal, literal, image, sound or any character of wired electricity, radio, light or other electromagnetic systems.Radio communication is then for using the telecommunications of radio wave.Radio wave is defined as frequency below 3000GHz, manually waveguide and at the electromagnetic wave of spatial transmission.Radio wave as transport vehicle all has certain frequency and wavelength, promptly is arranged in the certain position of radio-frequency spectrum, and occupies certain width.Radio-frequency spectrum (radio spectrum) refers generally to the general name of the radio frequency of emitting radio wave in the 9KHz-3000GHz frequency range.
Radio traffic generally is divided into the professional and space radio business of terrestrial radio, professional main fixed service, mobile service, broadcasting service and the radio determination service of dividing of terrestrial radio.Mobile service is divided into land, waterborne and aeronautical mobile service again.Land mobile service mainly is divided into the professional and public mobile communication business of specialized mobile radio.All radio traffic all be unable to do without radio frequency, radio frequency is a kind of electromagnetic wave that nature exists, being a kind of material, is cannot see of can impartial obtaining of a kind of various countries, impalpable natural resources, and it is a kind of limited, resource with exclusiveness.
The development of present mobile communication, also increasing for the demand of frequency spectrum resource.Because the rare and modern communication technology of frequency spectrum resource is to the pursuit of broadband high-speed rate communication, the two has formed a pair of contradiction.For example, for the LTE-A system of the above-mentioned frequency spectrum of mentioning that needs the 100M bandwidth, under the condition that has the idle frequency spectrum resource, can be the frequency spectrum that directly distributes the 100M bandwidth for this system.Yet, for the rare present mobile communication of frequency spectrum resource, usually be difficult to find wide so blank untapped frequency spectrum resource, in addition, the communication system that has less bandwidth for compatibility is existing, can be by the carrier resource of a plurality of LTE system be joined together to use, the carrier wave of LTE system is called member carrier again, descending carrier f1 as shown in Figure 1, f2, f3 and up-link carrier f1 ', f2 ', by carrier aggregation (Carrier Aggregation) technology, with f1, f2, the resource of f3 joins together to be used for jointly providing descending service to the user, with f1 ', the resource of f2 ' joins together to be used for jointly providing up service to the user, the sub-district that is to say a LTE-A system can comprise a plurality of member carriers, and then is embodied as the user the more communication system of wide bandwidth is provided.Yet, when the sub-district of LTE-A system up-downgoing member carrier number difference, and when the incompatible LTE of part descending carrier system is wherein arranged, example descending carrier f3 as shown in Figure 1, as the UE of LTE-A system (User Equipment, subscriber equipment) reside on this member carrier, so will be owing to there not being corresponding up-link carrier, UE can't initiate to insert at random on this carrier wave.
Therefore, reside in the multicarrier LTE-A system on the member carrier of incompatible LTE system in the sub-district for UE, be necessary to propose the problem that a kind of technical scheme solves the UE access network.
