Description

Resource, time slot format configuration and data transmission methods, devices, equipment and media

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of wireless communications technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a device, and a medium for resource, slot format configuration, and data transmission.

Background

Energy conservation has become a hotspot of public concern today, and the telecommunications industry has also attracted a great deal of social concern as an industry of high energy consumption. In the LTE (Long Term Evolution ) system, in order to reduce resource waste and achieve energy saving, a more common method in the prior art includes:

the base station decides the on or off of the cell according to the data transmission quantity, namely when the data transmission quantity of a certain cell in a period of time is lower than a preset value, an energy-saving activation instruction is sent to enable the cell to be closed and enter an energy-saving state, and only when the data transmission quantity of the cell is higher than the preset value, an energy-saving deactivation instruction is sent to enable the cell to enter an on state. Therefore, when the existing energy-saving method is adopted, only the cell-level long-period starting and configuration can be performed, and if a certain cell is always in a dormant state and a user needs data scheduling, the user experience is reduced.

In the prior art, when performing semi-static configuration on timeslots in a radio frame for data transmission, a method as shown in fig. 1 is often adopted, for example, the current radio frame includes 10 timeslots, the first two timeslots, namely, the 0 th and the 1 st timeslots, are configured as downlink timeslots for downlink data transmission, the second two timeslots, namely, the 8 th and the 9 th timeslots, are configured as uplink timeslots for uplink data transmission, and the middle 6 timeslots are configured as flexible timeslots. The uplink time slot and the downlink time slot are both fixed time slots which are semi-statically configured, and in the prior art, when the wireless frame is dynamically configured based on dynamic signaling, only flexible time slots can be modified, and the fixed time slots cannot be modified; in the actual data transmission process, the base station needs to monitor whether the data to be transmitted exist in each fixed time slot, so that the problem of resource waste exists.

Disclosure of Invention

The invention discloses a method, a device, equipment and a medium for resource, time slot format configuration and data transmission, which are used for solving the problems of poor user experience and resource waste caused by unreasonable transmission resource configuration in the prior art.

To overcome the above technical problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a resource allocation method, the method including:

transmitting a resource configuration signaling to the UE;

and indicating the UE to configure the resources corresponding to each period into on resources for data transmission and off resources for stopping data transmission according to the resource configuration signaling, wherein the on resources correspond to a first time length, the off resources correspond to a second time length, and the first time length is the same as or different from the second time length.

The base station sends the resource configuration information to the UE, and instructs the UE to configure the resources corresponding to each period as on resources for transmission and off resources for stopping data transmission, so that in each period, part of the time of the cell in the coverage area of the base station and the UE accessing the cell is in an on state, and part of the time is in an off state, therefore, the cell and the UE can automatically switch the on state and the off state without the need of the base station to send an energy-saving activation instruction and an energy-saving deactivation instruction, the resource consumption is reduced, and the purpose of energy saving is achieved. In addition, as the first time length corresponding to the on resource and the second time length corresponding to the off resource are both millisecond-level, and each period is a transmission period of a frame level, the influence on burst service can be avoided, the data transmission is ensured, and the user experience is improved.

Specifically, the sending the resource configuration signaling to the UE includes:

a base station sends residual key system information (RMSI) semi-static configuration signaling to the UE; or alternatively, the first and second heat exchangers may be,

the main service cell of the base station sends configuration information of an auxiliary service cell currently accessed by the UE to the UE; or alternatively, the first and second heat exchangers may be,

and transmitting the Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling to the UE by the base station.

Because the cell accessed by the UE can be a main service cell or an auxiliary service cell, when the cell accessed by the UE is the main service cell, the base station transmits the RMSI semi-static configuration signaling or the RRC signaling to the UE, and when the cell accessed by the UE is the auxiliary service cell, the main service cell of the base station transmits the configuration information of the auxiliary service cell currently accessed by the UE to the UE.

Specifically, the on resources include a first number of time slots, and the off resources include a second number of time slots, where the first number and the second number are both natural numbers.

Because the time slot is the smallest transmission structure in the radio frame, in order to realize the refinement configuration of the on-off resource and the on-off resource, the on-off resource and the on-off resource can be determined by dividing the time slot, that is, the on-off resource and the on-off resource can each comprise a plurality of continuous time slots, and the number of time slots in the on-off resource can be the same as or different from the number of time slots in the off-off resource.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a resource allocation method, the method including:

receiving a resource configuration signaling sent by a base station;

and according to the resource configuration signaling, configuring the resources corresponding to each period into on resources for data transmission and off resources for stopping data transmission, wherein the on resources correspond to a first time length, and the off resources correspond to a second time length.

By the UE receiving the resource allocation instruction sent by the base station, each UE can allocate the resources corresponding to each period as on resources for data transmission and off resources for stopping data transmission according to the resource allocation instruction, so that in each period, part of the time of the UE accessing the cell in the coverage area of the base station is in an on state and part of the time is in an off state, and therefore the UE can realize automatic switching between the on state and the off state without receiving the energy-saving activation instruction and the energy-saving deactivation instruction sent by the base station, thereby reducing the resource consumption and achieving the purposes of energy conservation and reduction. In addition, as the first time length corresponding to the on resource and the second time length corresponding to the off resource are both millisecond-level, and each period is a transmission period of a frame level, the influence on burst service can be avoided, the data transmission is ensured, and the user experience is improved.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a data transmission method, the method including:

when the starting resources entering the current period are monitored, judging whether the electronic equipment is in a shutdown state, wherein each period comprises the starting resources and the shutdown resources;

if so, switching the self from an off state to an on state, and judging whether the data can be completely transmitted on the on resource of the current period when the existence of the data to be transmitted is monitored;

if yes, transmitting the data on the starting resource, and switching the data from the starting state to the shutdown state on the shutdown resource which is adjacent to the starting resource after the starting resource.

In the invention, each frame level period is divided into the on-resource for data transmission and the off-resource for stopping data transmission, so when the on-resource of the current period is entered, if the existence of data to be transmitted is detected, the data is transmitted on the on-resource in the current period, and if the data can be completely transmitted on the on-resource of the current period, the data is switched from the on-state to the off-state on the off-resource adjacent to the on-resource, thereby realizing the reduction of resource consumption, completing the data transmission and improving the user experience.

Specifically, the electronic device is a base station or a UE.

Specifically, the determining whether the data can be completely transmitted on the open resource of the current period includes:

determining the transmission time length required for transmitting the data;

if the transmission time length is smaller than or equal to the first time length corresponding to the starting resource, determining that the data can be transmitted on the starting resource in the current period;

and if the transmission time period is longer than the first time period corresponding to the starting resource, determining that the data cannot be completely transmitted on the starting resource in the current period.

That is, when there is data to be transmitted, determining a transmission time length required by the data according to a current data transmission rate, comparing the transmission time length with a first time corresponding to an open resource, determining that the data can be all transmitted on the open resource in a current period when the transmission time length is less than or equal to the first time length corresponding to the open resource, and determining that the data cannot be all transmitted on the open resource in the current period when the transmission time length is greater than the first time length corresponding to the open resource.

After said determining that the data cannot be fully transmitted on the on-resources of the current cycle, the method further comprises:

judging whether the transmission time length is greater than or equal to the time length of the current period;

if yes, activating all the shutdown resources in the current period, and transmitting the data on the startup resources and the activated all shutdown resources;

and if not, activating the partial shutdown resources in the current period according to the difference value of the transmission time length and the first time length, wherein the activated partial shutdown resources are adjacent to the starting resources, transmitting the data on the starting resources and the activated partial shutdown resources, and switching from the starting state to the shutdown state on the rest shutdown resources which are not activated.

That is, when the data cannot be transmitted entirely on the on-resources of the current period, the off-resources in the current period need to be activated to enable the data to be transmitted in the current period. When the transmission time length is longer than or equal to the time length of the current period, all the shutdown resources in the current period need to be activated, and when the transmission time length is shorter than the time length of the current period, only part of shutdown resources in the current period need to be activated, and the shutdown resources are switched from an on state to an off state on the rest shutdown resources which are not activated. Therefore, the normal data transmission can be ensured and the user experience is improved while the energy conservation is realized.

And by modifying the uplink time slot into the downlink time slot and/or modifying the downlink time slot into the uplink time slot, the modification of the fixed time slot under the semi-static configuration in the prior art can be realized, so that the dynamic configuration of the time slot format under the semi-static configuration is carried out according to the transmission requirement, and the transmission efficiency is improved.

Detailed Description

The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.

Embodiment one:

in the prior art, when cell energy saving is realized, a base station is required to decide whether to turn on or turn off a cell according to the data transmission quantity. Therefore, when the existing energy-saving method is adopted, only the cell-level long-period starting and configuration can be performed, and if a certain cell is always in a dormant state and a user needs data scheduling, the user experience is reduced.

Therefore, to overcome the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a resource allocation method, as shown in fig. 2, including the following steps:

step S201: the base station sends resource configuration signaling to the UE.

In this embodiment of the present invention, step S201 includes:

That is, when the cell accessed by the UE is a primary serving cell, RMSI semi-static configuration signaling or RRC signaling may be sent to the UE through the base station; when the cell accessed by the UE is an auxiliary service cell, the configuration information of the auxiliary service cell accessed by the UE currently can be sent to the UE through the main service cell in the coverage area of the base station, so that the UE performs resource configuration according to the resource configuration signaling.

Step S202: and indicating the UE to configure the resources corresponding to each period as on resources for data transmission and off resources for stopping data transmission according to the resource configuration signaling.

Step S203: and the UE receives the resource configuration signaling sent by the base station.

Step S204: and according to the resource allocation signaling, configuring the resources corresponding to each period as on resources for data transmission and off resources for stopping data transmission.

Specifically, the on-state resource and the off-state resource may each include a plurality of radio frames, but since each radio frame has a fixed duration and is 10ms, in order to further refine the configuration of the transmission resource, in the embodiment of the present invention, the minimum transmission structure in the radio frame, that is, the time slot, is used as a division unit to determine the on-state resource and the off-state resource in each period.

Specifically, when the ON-resources and the Off-resources are configured in units of time slots, the division manner shown in fig. 3 may be adopted, where ON represents the ON-resources and Off represents the Off-resources. If the duration of each period is 20ms, the corresponding first duration of the on resource can be set to 5ms, and the corresponding second duration of the off resource is set to 15ms; or the corresponding first time length of the on resource is set to be 10ms, and then the corresponding second time length of the off resource is set to be 10ms; or the corresponding first time period to turn on the resource is set to 15ms, then the corresponding second time period to turn off the resource is set to 5ms. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the on resource corresponds to a first time period, the off resource corresponds to a second time period, and the first time period is the same as or different from the second time period. It will be understood, of course, that in the embodiment of the present invention, the configuration proportion of the first duration of turning on the resource and the second duration of turning off the resource in each period is not specifically limited.

Because the time corresponding to each time slot is set according to the subcarrier interval, and the time corresponding to each time slot is the same, when the starting resource and the stopping resource are configured, the number of time slots included in the starting resource or the stopping resource can be set to determine that the starting resource corresponds to the first duration and the stopping resource corresponds to the second duration. Since the first time length is the same as or different from the second time length, the number of time slots included in the on-resource and the off-resource may be the same or different.

If the time corresponding to each slot is set to 0.5ms also with the duration of each period being 20ms, when the division shown in fig. 3 is adopted, the ON is also used to indicate the ON resource, and Off is used to indicate the Off resource. Specifically, the number of time slots in the open resources in each period can be set to 10, and when the number of time slots in the close resources is set to 30, the first duration corresponding to the open resources is 5ms, and the second duration corresponding to the close resources is 15ms; or the number of time slots in the on resources and the off resources in each period can be set to be 20 so as to realize that the first duration corresponding to the on resources and the second duration corresponding to the off resources are 10ms; or the number of time slots in the open resources in each period can be set to be 30, and the number of time slots in the close resources can be set to be 10, so that the first time length corresponding to the open resources is 15ms, and the second time length corresponding to the close resources is 5ms. It should be noted that, the time slots included in the on resource and the off resource are a plurality of continuous time slots. Each period corresponds to a transmission period at the frame level.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the resources corresponding to each frame level period are divided into on resources for data transmission and off resources for stopping data transmission. The method can enable the cell in the coverage area of the base station and the UE accessing the cell to be correspondingly switched from the on state to the off state along with the turn-on of the resource to the turn-off of the resource in each period, so as to realize cell energy saving. Meanwhile, with the updating of the period, the cell in the coverage area of the base station and the UE accessing the cell can be correspondingly and automatically switched from the off state to the on state from the off resource of the previous period to the on resource of the current period, so that the data transmission is realized.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, the automatic switching between the on state and the off state of the cell and the UE can be realized without the need of the base station to send the energy-saving activation instruction and the energy-saving deactivation instruction, so that the resource consumption is reduced, the energy-saving purpose is achieved, the data transmission is ensured, and the user experience is improved.

It should be further noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the time slots in the on-resources or the off-resources may also be set to 0, and if the duration of each period is 20ms, the corresponding time of each time slot is set to 0.5ms, and then the corresponding off-resources or on-resources are set to 40. When the number of time slots in the open resources in the period is set to 0, the number of time slots in the close resources is set to 40, namely all the resources corresponding to the period are set as the close resources; and when the number of time slots in the open resources in the period is set to 40, the number of time slots in the close resources is set to 0, that is, all the resources corresponding to the period are set as open resources.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, the on resources and the off resources in each period can be set according to the current service demand or the data transmission quantity, and the setting mode is more flexible. In addition, as the first time length and the second time length in each period are millisecond level, compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that longer waiting time does not exist, even if a sudden service request occurs in an off state, the sudden service request can be responded relatively quickly, the influence on sudden service is avoided, data transmission is guaranteed, and the user experience degree can be improved.

Embodiment two:

on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, in an embodiment of the present invention, a data transmission method is provided to implement data transmission based on the resource allocation method provided in the foregoing embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, where the data transmission method includes:

step S401: and when the on resource entering the current period is monitored, judging whether the electronic equipment is in an off state. Wherein each cycle includes turning on resources and turning off resources.

Step S402: if so, switching the self from the off state to the on state, and judging whether the data can be completely transmitted on the on resource when the existence of the data to be transmitted is monitored.

Step S403: if yes, transmitting the data on the starting resource, and switching the data from the starting state to the shutdown state on the shutdown resource which is adjacent to the starting resource after the starting resource.

As can be seen from the above embodiments, the resources corresponding to each frame level period are divided into on resources and off resources, wherein the on resources can be used for data transmission; and shutting down the resource stops the data transmission. Therefore, after the transmission resource is configured according to the method in the first embodiment, when the resource is used for data transmission, when the data transmission is started, whether the electronic device for data transmission based on the resource is in an off state is judged, wherein the electronic device is a base station or a UE, and if the electronic device is still in the off state, the electronic device is switched from the off state to the on state.

Specifically, after the electronic device is in an on state, whether data to be transmitted exist in a current period needs to be monitored in real time, and if the data to be transmitted do not exist in the current period, when the electronic device reaches an off resource, the electronic device is switched from the on state to the off state.

However, if there is data to be transmitted in the current period, it is required to determine whether the data can be all transmitted on the on-resources of the current period, wherein in step S402, determining whether the data can be all transmitted on the on-resources of the current period includes:

Determining the transmission time length required for transmitting the data;

That is, if the data to be transmitted is uplink data, the uplink transmission time length required for transmitting the data is calculated according to the current uplink transmission rate and the data amount of the data, and the uplink transmission time length is taken as the transmission time length; if the data to be transmitted is downlink data, calculating downlink transmission time required for transmitting the data according to the current downlink transmission rate and the data quantity of the data, and taking the downlink transmission time as the transmission time; if the data to be transmitted comprises both uplink data and downlink data, taking the sum of the uplink transmission time length and the downlink transmission time length as the transmission time length.

And then comparing the transmission time length with a first time length corresponding to the starting resource, if the transmission time length is smaller than the first time length corresponding to the starting resource, indicating that the data can be transmitted on the starting resource, transmitting the data on the starting resource in the current period, and switching the base station and the UE from the starting state to the switching-off state on the switching-off resource adjacent to the starting resource after the starting resource is simultaneously carried out by the base station and the UE after the data transmission is completed.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, when the base station and the UE are in the on state, the data to be transmitted on the on resource can be transmitted, and when the base station and the UE are in the off state, the data transmission is stopped. Therefore, the data transmission method provided by the embodiment of the invention can reduce resource consumption, realize energy conservation, finish data transmission and improve user experience.

In addition, because the duration of each period is controlled within milliseconds, if the base station and the UE are in the off state in the current period, the sudden service request occurs, the transmission of response data can be carried out in the next period of the current period, and long waiting time can not exist, so that the influence on the sudden service can be avoided, and the user experience degree can be improved.

Embodiment III:

when the transmission time length is compared with the first time length corresponding to the starting resource, if the transmission time length is greater than or equal to the first time length corresponding to the starting resource, the data cannot be transmitted on the starting resource. Thus, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, in an embodiment of the present invention, after the determining that the data cannot be all transmitted on the open resource of the current period, the method further includes:

That is, if the data to be transmitted cannot be completely transmitted on the open resource, it is necessary to further determine whether the data can be completely transmitted on the resource in the current period, and thus it is also necessary to compare the transmission duration with the duration of the current period.

When the transmission time length is greater than or equal to the time length of the current period, the method indicates that all the starting resources and all the shutdown resources in the current period are used for data transmission, so that in order to ensure that the data can be completely transmitted, all the shutdown resources in the current period need to be activated. At this time, when the shutdown resource is used for data transmission, the state diagram of the resource corresponding to the period is shown in fig. 5, where all the shutdown resources that are activated correspond to the Inactive time in fig. 5.

When the transmission duration is smaller than the duration of the current period, the method indicates that all the on resources and only part of the off resources in the current period are used for data transmission, so that the data can be completely transmitted, and only part of the off resources in the current period are required to be activated. At this time, when the partially turned-off resource is used for data transmission, the state diagram of the resource corresponding to the period is shown in fig. 6, where the duration of the activated partially turned-off resource is determined by the difference between the transmission duration and the first duration corresponding to the turned-on resource, and corresponds to the Inactive time in fig. 6. In fig. 6, the Inactive time is adjacent to the Inactive time, and for energy saving purposes, the base station and the UE switch themselves from the on state to the off state on the Inactive remaining off resources.

As can be seen from the foregoing, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the data to be transmitted cannot be completely transmitted on the on resources in the current period, the off resources to be activated can be determined according to the data amount to be transmitted, and after the data transmission is completed, the base station and the UE can also implement automatic switching between the off state and the on state, so that the data transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present invention can also ensure normal transmission of the data and improve user experience while implementing energy saving.

Embodiment four:

on the basis of the above embodiment, when data is transmitted based on the resource allocation method provided in the above embodiment, the transmission process is shown in fig. 7 corresponding to each cycle, and specifically includes the following processes:

step S701: when the on resource entering the current period is monitored, judging whether the on resource is in an off state or not, if so, entering a step S702, and if not, directly entering the step S703;

step S702: switching itself from the off state to the on state, and proceeding to step S703;

step S703: monitoring whether data to be transmitted exist or not, if yes, entering a step S704, and if no, directly entering a step S705;

step S704: judging whether the transmission time length of the data is less than or equal to the first time length corresponding to the starting resource, if so, entering step S706, and if not, directly entering step S707;

step S705: when the shutdown resource in the current period is reached, switching the self from the on state to the sleep mode, and ending the current period;

step S706: transmitting the data on the starting resource, switching the data from the starting state to the shutdown state on the shutdown resource which is adjacent to the starting resource after the starting resource, and ending the current period;

Step S707: judging whether the transmission time length of the data is greater than or equal to the time length of the current period, if so, entering step S708, and if not, entering step S709;

step S708: activating all the shut-off resources in the current period, transmitting the data on all the on resources and all the activated shut-off resources in the current period, and ending the current period;

step S709: and activating part of the shutdown resources in the current period according to the difference value of the transmission time length and the first time length corresponding to the startup resources, transmitting the data on all the startup resources and the activated part of the shutdown resources in the current period, switching the shutdown resources from the startup state to the shutdown state on the rest shutdown resources which are not activated, and ending the current period.

The above-mentioned flow of data transmission is applicable to both the base station and the UE, so that after the transmission resources are configured based on the resource configuration method provided in the above-mentioned embodiment, when data transmission is performed based on the configured transmission resources, normal data transmission can be ensured while energy saving is achieved, and user experience is improved.

Fifth embodiment:

In the prior art, when the dynamic configuration is performed on the wireless frame based on the semi-static configuration, only the flexible time slot can be modified, the fixed time slot cannot be modified, and in the actual data transmission process, the base station needs to monitor whether data to be transmitted exist in each fixed time slot, so that the waste of monitoring resources is caused.

Therefore, to overcome the above technical problems, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for configuring a slot format, as shown in fig. 8, which includes the following steps:

step S801: the base station sends a slot format indication SFI dynamic configuration signaling to the UE.

Step S802: indicating the UE to modify part or all of the fixed time slots under the semi-static configuration into other time slot formats according to the SFI dynamic configuration signaling; and/or modifying part or all of the flexible time slots in the semi-static configuration to energy-saving time slots not used for data transmission.

Step S803: and the UE receives the SFI dynamic configuration signaling sent by the base station.

Step S804: according to the SFI dynamic configuration signaling, modifying part or all of the fixed time slots under the semi-static configuration into other time slot formats; and/or modifying part or all of the flexible time slots in the semi-static configuration to energy-saving time slots not used for data transmission.

As can be seen from the foregoing, in the embodiment of the present invention, the base station sends the SFI dynamic configuration signaling to the UE, so that part or all of the fixed time slots under the semi-static configuration can be modified, and the technical problem that the fixed time slots cannot be modified in the prior art can be overcome, where the energy-saving time slots do not need the base station to monitor whether there is data to be transmitted in real time, so that when the uplink time slots and/or the downlink time slots under the semi-static configuration are modified to energy-saving time slots not used for data transmission, or part or all of the flexible time slots under the semi-static configuration are modified to energy-saving time slots not used for data transmission, waste of monitoring resources can be greatly reduced, and the purpose of energy saving is achieved.

Since the fixed time slot may be an uplink time slot for uplink transmission or a downlink time slot for downlink transmission in the semi-static configuration, in the embodiment of the present invention, modifying part or all of the fixed time slots in the semi-static configuration into other time slot formats includes:

Specifically, when part or all of the uplink time slots in the semi-static configuration are modified to downlink time slots and/or energy-saving time slots not used for data transmission, as shown in fig. 9, part or all of the uplink time slots in the semi-static configuration may be modified to downlink time slots; as shown in fig. 10, part or all of the uplink time slots in the semi-static configuration may be modified into energy-saving time slots not used for data transmission; as shown in fig. 11, part or all of the uplink time slots in the semi-static configuration may be simultaneously modified into downlink time slots and energy-saving time slots not used for data transmission. In fig. 9 to 11, U represents an uplink slot, D represents a downlink slot, and E represents a power saving slot not used for data transmission.

Specifically, when part or all of the downlink time slots in the semi-static configuration are modified to uplink time slots and/or energy-saving time slots not used for data transmission, as shown in fig. 12, part or all of the downlink time slots in the semi-static configuration may be modified to uplink time slots; as shown in fig. 13, part or all of the downlink time slots in the semi-static configuration may be modified into energy-saving time slots not used for data transmission; as shown in fig. 14, part or all of the downlink time slots in the semi-static configuration may be simultaneously modified into uplink time slots and energy-saving time slots not used for data transmission. In fig. 12 to 14, U represents an uplink slot, D represents a downlink slot, and E represents a power saving slot not used for data transmission.

The uplink time slot and/or the downlink time slot under semi-static configuration are/is modified into the energy-saving time slot which is not used for data transmission, so that the waste of monitoring resources can be greatly reduced, and the purpose of energy saving is achieved. And by modifying the uplink time slot into the downlink time slot and/or modifying the downlink time slot into the uplink time slot, the modification of the fixed time slot under the semi-static configuration in the prior art can be realized, so that the dynamic configuration of the time slot format under the semi-static configuration is carried out according to the transmission requirement, and the transmission efficiency is improved.

It should be understood, of course, that, in the above-mentioned embodiments, only some or all of the fixed timeslots are modified, and in the embodiments of the present invention, the modification manner of the fixed timeslots is not specifically limited, and other manners of modifying the fixed timeslots are also within the scope of the embodiments of the present invention.

Specifically, when part or all of the flexible time slots in the semi-static configuration are modified to be energy-saving time slots not used for data transmission, as shown in fig. 15, part of the flexible time slots may be modified to be energy-saving time slots not used for data transmission; as shown in fig. 16, all flexible slots may be modified to be energy-saving slots that are not used for data transmission. In fig. 15 to 16, U represents an uplink slot, D represents a downlink slot, and E represents a power saving slot not used for data transmission.

The flexible time slot under the semi-static configuration is modified into the energy-saving time slot not used for data transmission, so that a base station is not required to monitor each energy-saving time slot, the waste of monitoring resources can be greatly reduced, and the purpose of energy saving is achieved.

Therefore, the time slot format configuration method provided by the embodiment of the invention can realize the modification of the fixed time slot under semi-static configuration, and simultaneously can greatly reduce the waste of monitoring resources, thereby achieving the purpose of energy conservation.
