Description

The present invention claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201310347392.4, entitled "A Communication Method and Apparatus", filed on August 9, 2014, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Combined in this application. Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a communication method and device that can flexibly configure a special subframe structure. Background technique

Long Term Evolution (LTE) - Time Division Duplexing (TDD) has a radio frame of 10 ms and consists of two fields, each of which is 5 ms. The first half frame is composed of 5 subframes numbered 0 to 4, and the second half frame is composed of 5 subframes numbered 5 to 9. The subframes numbered 1 and 6 are special subframes, and each special subframe is composed of a downlink pilot time slot (DwPTS), a guard interval (GP), and an uplink pilot time slot (UpPTS). To support different cell radii, as shown in Table 1, the 3GPP TS 36.211 protocol specifies the configuration of different special subframe structures. The number in the Config column indicates the number of the special subframe configuration. The normal (normal) cyclic prefix (CP) and the extended (extended) CP correspond to the column. The digital representation of the slot contains orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (Orthogonal). Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is the number of symbols. The configuration of the special subframe structure in the LTE-TDD system is notified to the terminal by the system broadcast, and all the radio frames in the cell are configured according to the special subframe structure. Table 1 TDD special subframe configuration table (number of OFDM symbols)

Once the special subframe structure in the existing LTE-TDD frame structure is configured, all radio frames use the same special subframe structure. In the prior art, the configuration of the special subframe structure is not flexible enough to meet the problem of actual communication requirements. Summary of the invention

The embodiment of the invention provides a communication method and device to solve the problem that the configuration of the special subframe structure in the prior art is not flexible.

The object of the invention is achieved by the following technical solutions:

A communication method on a base station side includes:

The at least two special subframe structures are configured. In the configured special subframe structure, the guard interval length of the at least one special subframe structure is different from the guard interval length of the remaining special subframe structures, and the at least two special types are configured. The subframe structure is configured in different radio frames or fields;

The configuration information of the foregoing at least two special subframe structures is sent to the terminal, so that the base station can configure different special subframes for different radio frames or fields according to communication requirements according to the method provided in the embodiment of the present invention. The structure improves the flexibility of the special sub-frame structure configuration.

For example, a special subframe structure may be configured for a radio frame or a field that needs to perform air interface monitoring between base stations and a radio frame or a field that does not need to perform air interface monitoring between base stations. Among them, need to carry out between base stations The GP length of the special subframe structure used by the radio frame or the half frame of the air interface monitoring is larger than the base length. Because the base station performs the inter-base station air interface monitoring, it needs to configure a relatively long GP to be orthogonal in the GP. Air interface monitoring on the frequency division multiplexing symbol. The inter-base station air interface monitoring is performed periodically. The radio frame or field that needs to perform air interface monitoring between the base stations and the radio frame or the half frame that does not need to perform air interface monitoring between the base stations are configured with different special subframe structures, so that the base stations need to be configured. In the case of air interface monitoring, a longer GP is used, and a shorter GP transmission signal is used when no air interface monitoring is required between base stations, thereby improving system efficiency and reducing system overhead.

Based on any of the above embodiments, the special subframe structure can be either static or semi-statically configured or dynamically configured.

If the at least two special subframe structures are static or semi-statically configured, the configuration information of the at least two special subframe structures is sent to the terminal by using a system broadcast message. The system broadcast message further carries information of a radio frame or a field in which some or all of the special subframe structures in the at least two special subframe structures are located.

The manner in which the system broadcast message carries information of a radio frame or a field includes, but is not limited to, the following two methods:

In the system broadcast message, the information of the radio frame or field in which each special subframe structure is located is carried. Method 2:

4 The L special special subframe structure is configured, where L is a positive integer not less than 2. Then, in the system broadcast message, information of a radio frame or a field in which the L-1 special subframe structure is located is carried.

Preferably, the information of the radio frame or the field in which the special subframe structure is carried in the system broadcast message is the N corresponding to the special subframe structure or the N corresponding to the special subframe structure, and the N, M has the following correspondence with the number of the radio frame or field in which the special subframe structure is located:

Nmod N=

The FN is a number of a radio frame or a field in which the special subframe structure is located, and the N is a repetition period of a radio frame or a field in which the special sub-frame structure is located, where the value is 0 or a positive integer.

If the at least two special subframe structures are dynamically configured, before the special subframe is sent, Sending signaling to the terminal, where the signaling carries configuration information of a special subframe structure used by the current radio frame, the current field, a group of radio frames, or a group of subframes. In this way, the configuration information of the at least two special subframe structures described above is sent to the terminal. The signaling may be physical layer control signaling, media access control signaling, or radio resource control protocol signaling.

If the signaling is physical layer control signaling, the physical layer control signaling may be specifically sent to the terminal in the first subframe of the radio frame or the field.

The embodiment of the invention provides a terminal side communication method, including:

Receiving configuration information of at least two special subframe structures sent by the base station, where the guard interval length of the at least one special subframe structure in the configured special subframe structure is different from the guard interval length of the remaining special subframe structures, and The at least two special subframe structures are configured in different radio frames or fields; determining a special subframe structure used by different radio frames or fields according to the received configuration information, to perform communication by the station.

The GP length of the special subframe structure used for the radio frame or the half frame of the inter-base station air interface monitoring is larger than that of the method for performing the inter-base station air interface monitoring according to any of the foregoing terminal side methods, and the special subframe structure is configured on the base station side. Different ways, the manner in which the terminal receives the configuration information of the special subframe structure is also different.

If the base station side configures the special subframe structure statically or semi-statically, the terminal receives the configuration information of the at least two special subframe structures sent by the base station by using the system broadcast message, specifically: the terminal receives the system broadcast message sent by the base station, and the system The broadcast message carries configuration information of the at least two special subframe structures. The system broadcast message further carries the at least two special subframe structures. The information of the radio frame or field in which part or all of the special subframe structure is located.

For the implementation of the information of the radio frame or the field in the system broadcast message, refer to the description of the method of the base station side.

Nmod N=

The number of the frame; determining the special subframe structure of the radio frame or field in which the special subframe structure is located according to the configuration information of the special subframe structure. If the radio frame or field information of the special subframe structure carried in the system broadcast message is only N, it is an agreed value.

Specifically, if the system broadcast message carries the information of the radio frame or the half frame of each special subframe structure, the special subframe structure used by the radio frame or the field where each special subframe structure is located is determined according to the foregoing processing procedure. . If the system broadcast message carries the information of the radio frame or the field in which the special sub-frame structure is located, it may be determined according to the foregoing process that the radio broadcast message used by the radio frame or the half frame carries the base station and needs to perform the inter-base station air interface. The configuration information of another special subframe structure of the received radio frame or the message in which the field is located determines the special subframe structure used by the remaining radio frames or fields.

The GP length of the subframe structure is larger than the GP length of the special subframe structure used by the radio frame or field that does not require inter-base station air interface monitoring.

In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the base station configures at least two special subframe structures and notifies the terminal. The GP length of at least one special subframe structure in the special subframe structure configured by the base station The GP lengths of other special subframe structures are different, and various special subframe structures are configured in different radio frames or fields. The base station can configure different special subframe structures for different radio frames or fields according to communication requirements, thereby improving the flexibility of special subframe configuration.

Before the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail, the technical terms or technical features involved in the present invention are first explained:

Special subframe structure: The special subframe structure of the embodiment of the present invention may be a special subframe structure specified in the existing protocol shown in Table 1, or a special subframe structure configured by the base station.

Configuration information of the special subframe structure: It may be a specific parameter of the special subframe structure, for example, the length information of each of DwPTS, GP, and UpPTS, or the number of the special subframe structure in Table 1, or other can be determined. Information about the special subframe structure.

Base station: The base station in the embodiment of the present invention is a base station in the TDD system. For example, an evolved base station (eNB), a primary base station (MeNB), a home base station (HeNB), and the like in a TDD-LTE system.

The "special subframe structure is configured in a radio frame or a field" means that it can be implemented in the entire radio frame, and the base station can configure all the special subframe structures in the radio frame according to requirements, or all special The subframe structure is configured in a field, and a part of the special subframes may be configured in the radio frame, and another part of the special subframes may be configured in the field.

The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a communication method on a base station side, which specifically includes the following operations:

Step 100,

The at least two special subframe structures are configured. In the configured special subframe structure, the guard interval length of the at least one special subframe structure is different from the guard interval length of the remaining special subframe structures, and the at least two special types are configured. The subframe structure is configured in different radio frames or fields. Step 110: Send configuration information of the foregoing at least two special subframe structures to the terminal, so as to be configured Letter.

In step 100, a special subframe structure may be configured for a radio frame or a field that needs to perform air interface monitoring between the base stations and a radio frame or a field that does not need to perform air interface monitoring between the base stations. The GP length of the special subframe structure used for the radio frame or the half frame of the inter-base station air interface monitoring is larger than that required by the base station when performing inter-base station air interface monitoring, so that a relatively long GP needs to be configured, so as to be more in the GP. Air interface monitoring is performed on the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing symbols. The inter-base station air interface monitoring is performed periodically. The radio frame or field that needs to perform air interface monitoring between the base stations and the radio frame or the half frame that does not need to perform air interface monitoring between the base stations are configured with different special subframe structures, so that the base stations need to be configured. In the case of air interface monitoring, a longer GP is used, and a shorter GP transmission signal is used when no air interface monitoring is required between base stations, thereby improving system efficiency and reducing system overhead.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the special subframe structure may be static or semi-statically configured or dynamically configured.

If the at least two special subframe structures are static or semi-statically configured, the base station may send configuration information of the at least two special subframe structures to the terminal by using a system broadcast message. The system broadcast message further carries information of a radio frame or a field in which part or all of the special subframe structures in the at least two special subframe structures are located.

There are various ways to implement the information of a radio frame or a field in a system broadcast message. The following two examples are as follows:

method one:

Regardless of the manner in which the information of the radio frame or the field is carried, the specific content of the information of the radio frame or the field is also various. Preferably, the information of the radio frame or the field in which the special subframe structure is carried in the system broadcast message is the N corresponding to the special subframe structure or the N corresponding to the special subframe structure. The N, M and the number of the radio frame or the field in which the special subframe structure is located have the following correspondence:

Nmod N=

The FN is a number of a radio frame or a field in which the special subframe structure is located, where N is a repetition period of a radio frame or a field in which the special sub-frame structure is located, where the value is 0 or a positive integer. The value is fixed.

If the radio frame or field information of the special subframe structure carried in the system broadcast message is only N, it is an agreed value.

For example, two types of special subframe structures are configured. H is not configured in a radio frame or a field with a spacing of ΝΛ. That is, the repetition period of the radio frame or field in which the special subframe structure is located is . The second special subframe is configured on other radio frames or fields. In this case, the system broadcast message may carry only the information of the radio frame or field in which the first special subframe structure is located, that is, N, or N and Λ/. If the special subframe is configured on the radio frame, then N is the number of radio frames. If the special subframe is configured in the field, then according to the convention, N may be the number of radio frames or the number of half frames.

For example, four special subframe structures are configured, and one of the special subframes is configured in a radio frame or a field with an interval of Ν-\, and the other two special subframe structures are located in a radio frame or a field. The relative position of the radio frame or field where the special subframe structure is located is fixed. There is also a special sub-frame structure configured on the remaining radio frames or sub-frames. In this case, the system broadcast message can carry the information of the radio frame or field in which the first three special subframe structures are located. Since the relative positions of the radio frames or the fields in which the three special subframe structures are located are fixed, that is, the three special subframes are all arranged in the radio frame or the half frame with the interval of N-1, then one of the special subframes is located. The information of the radio frame or the field is N, or N and the 对应 corresponding to the special subframe, and the information of the radio frame or the field of the other two special subframes is relative to the radio frame or the field where the special subframe is located. . Or, the information of the radio frame or the half frame where the three special subframes are located is N, or N and the corresponding corresponding subframe.

If the at least two special subframe structures are dynamically configured, signaling may be sent to the terminal before the special subframe is sent, where the signaling carries the current radio frame, the current field, a group of radio frames, or a group of subframes. Configuration information for the special subframe structure used. Sending at least two of the above to the terminal in this way Configuration information of the special subframe structure. The signaling may be physical layer control signaling (eg, PDCCH, EPDCCH, etc.), medium access control (MAC) signaling, or radio resource control protocol (RRC) signaling, and the like.

For example, for a special subframe structure configured on a radio frame, before transmitting a special subframe on the radio frame, signaling is sent to the terminal, where the signaling carries a special subframe structure used by the current radio frame in which the radio frame is located. , or configuration information of a special subframe structure used by a set of radio frames. The set of wireless frames may be a current radio frame including the signaling and a plurality of subsequent radio frames that are consecutive or discontinuous, or may be a plurality of radio frames that are consecutive or discontinuous after the current subframe in which the signaling is located. In addition, this set of frames has different radio frames.

For the special subframe structure configured on the field, the description of the information carried in the signaling can be referred to the above description, and details are not described herein again.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a terminal side communication method according to an embodiment of the present invention, which specifically includes the following operations:

Step 200: Receive configuration information of at least two special subframe structures sent by the base station, where the guard interval length of at least one special subframe structure in the configured special subframe structure is different from the guard interval length of the remaining special subframe structures. And the at least two special subframe structures are configured in different radio frames or fields.

Step 210: Determine, according to the received configuration information, a special subframe structure used by different radio frames or fields, so that the radio frame or a field in which the configured special subframe structure is used is performed with the base station by using the special subframe structure. Communication.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the manner in which the special subframe structure is configured on the base station side is different, and the terminal receives the special sub-sub The manner in which the frame structure is configured is also different.

If the base station side configures the special subframe structure statically or semi-statically, the terminal receives the configuration information of the at least two special subframe structures sent by the base station, where the terminal receives the system broadcast message sent by the base station, where the system broadcasts the message. Configuration information of at least two special subframe structures described above. The system broadcast message further carries information of a radio frame or a field in which part or all of the special subframe structures in the at least two special subframe structures are located.

Regardless of the manner in which the information of the radio frame or the field is carried, the specific content of the information of the radio frame or the field is also various. For details, refer to the description of the method embodiment of the base station side.

Nmod N=

The FN is a number of a radio frame or a field in which the special subframe structure is located, where the N is a repetition period of a radio frame or a field in which the special sub-frame structure is located, where the value is 0 or a positive integer and takes a value. fixed.

Specifically, if the system broadcast message carries the information of the radio frame or the half frame of each special subframe structure, the special subframe structure used by the radio frame or the field where each special subframe structure is located is determined according to the foregoing processing procedure. . If the system broadcast message carries the information of the radio frame or the half frame where the special subframe structure is located, the special processing used by the radio frame or the field may be determined according to the foregoing processing procedure. If the system broadcast message carries configuration information of two special subframe structures and information of a radio frame or a field in which one of the special subframe structures is located, first determine a special subframe structure used by the radio frames or fields; Then, according to the received configuration information of another special subframe structure, the special subframe structure used by the remaining radio frames or fields is determined. For another example, if the system broadcast message carries configuration information of four special subframe structures and information of radio frames or fields in which three special subframe structures are located, and the radio frame or half where the three special subframe structures are located In the information of the frame, only the information of the radio frame or the field in which the special subframe structure is located is the information of the radio frame or the field in which the N corresponding to the special subframe and the other two special subframe structures are located. The relative position of the radio frame or field in which the sub-frame structure is located. Then, the special subframe structure is first determined, and then two other special subframe structures are determined according to the relative position information, and finally the fourth special subframe structure is determined according to the configuration information of the fourth special subframe structure.

If the base station side dynamically configures the special subframe structure, the receiving configuration information of the at least two special subframe structures sent by the base station may be: receiving the signaling sent by the base station before receiving the special subframe, where the signaling carries Configuration information of a special subframe structure used by a current radio frame, a current field, a group of radio frames, or a group of fields. The signaling may be physical layer control signaling, media access control signaling, or radio resource control protocol signaling.

If the signaling is physical layer control signaling, specifically, the physical layer control signaling sent by the base station is received on the first subframe of the radio frame or the field. In this way, configuration information of various special subframe structures transmitted by the base station is received. For the description of the information carried in the signaling, reference may be made to the above-described base station side method embodiment.

The method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with a specific application scenario. An existing inter-cell clock synchronization scheme in an LTE-TDD system is an air interface synchronization scheme for inter-network monitoring.

In the research of LTE Release 9 (LTE Rel-9) for Time Division Duplex Home Base Station (TDD Home eNB), an air interface synchronization technology scheme (3GPP TR36.922) suitable for TDD base stations is proposed. The main idea is: The primary synchronization source cell with the air interface synchronization (the cell under the MeNB in FIG. 3) configures a special subframe with a shorter GP (as shown in FIG. 3, the MeNB is configured as a special subframe configuration 4). Small from the main sync source The area directly acquires the time-synchronized target cell to be synchronized (the cell in HeNB1 in FIG. 3), and configures a special subframe with a relatively large GP (as shown in FIG. 3, HeNB1 is configured as a special subframe configuration 1). The target cell to be synchronized may detect a reference signal such as a CRS of the primary synchronization source cell in the GP of the special subframe relative to the first OFDM symbols that are vacant in the synchronization source cell to obtain time synchronization. Similarly, the target synchronization cell to be synchronized (the cell under HeNB2 in FIG. 3) that is time-synchronized cannot be directly obtained from the primary synchronization source cell, and a special subframe with a relatively large GP is configured (as shown in FIG. 3, the special configuration of the HeNB2 is shown. The subframe configuration 0), such that the target cell to be synchronized can detect a reference signal such as a CRS with respect to the first few OFDM symbols that are vacant with respect to the synchronized cell within the GP of its special subframe to obtain synchronization.

It can be seen that in the air interface synchronization scheme, the GP to be synchronized needs to configure a longer GP to receive the downlink signal sent by the synchronization source base station to obtain synchronization. Since the special subframe structure in the existing LTE-TDD frame structure is configured, all the radio frames use the same GP length, and in fact, the base station air interface synchronization does not need to be synchronized by the base station to monitor the synchronization source in each radio frame. The downlink signal of the base station. Therefore, based on the existing system design, to implement the air interface synchronization scheme based on the TDD special subframe, the base station to be synchronized is required to allocate a longer GP time slot in all radio frames, since the GP time slot cannot transmit physical signals, so significant Increase system overhead and reduce system efficiency.

The HeNB1 in FIG. 3 is used as an example, and the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is used. The HeNB1 configures a special subframe structure for a radio frame that needs to perform air interface monitoring between the base stations and a radio frame that does not need to perform air interface monitoring between the base stations. The GP length of the special subframe structure used by the radio frame that needs to perform air interface monitoring between the base stations is larger than the GP length of the special subframe structure used by the radio frame that does not need to perform air interface monitoring between the base stations.

Preferably, a special subframe structure is configured for each of the radio frames that need to perform air interface monitoring between the base stations and the radio frames that do not need to perform air interface monitoring between the base stations. Then, it is necessary to perform air interface monitoring between base stations.

Of course, depending on the communication requirements, a plurality of special subframe structures may be respectively configured for the radio frames that need to perform air interface monitoring between the base stations and the radio frames that do not need to perform air interface monitoring between the base stations.

Since the base station performs the air interface monitoring between the base stations, it needs to configure a relatively long GP to be in the GP. Air interface monitoring is performed on the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing symbols in the excess. The air interface monitoring between the base stations is performed periodically, and the base station needs to perform air interface by configuring different special subframe structures for the radio frames or fields that need to perform air interface monitoring between the base stations and the radio frames or fields that do not need to perform air interface monitoring between the base stations. When listening, use a longer GP, use a shorter GP to transmit signals without air interface monitoring, which improves system efficiency and reduces system overhead.

If the static or semi-static configuration requires a special subframe structure for the radio frame for inter-base station air interface monitoring, and a special subframe structure 2 for the radio frame that does not need to perform inter-base station air interface monitoring, and every N radio frames An air interface monitoring between base stations. Then, the system frame number (SFN) of the radio frame that needs to perform air interface monitoring between base stations can be determined by the formula Wmod N=Af. The system frame number S of the radio frame is the number of the system frame of the radio frame, and N is the repetition period of the radio frame or the field where the special sub-frame structure is located, which is 0 or a positive integer, and the value is fixed.

The HeNB1 transmits the configuration information of the special subframe structure 1, the configuration information of the special subframe structure 2, and the value of N in the system broadcast message. Optionally, the value is also carried in the system broadcast message. If the system broadcast message does not carry the value of M, the value pre-agreed with the terminal.

Specifically, a new field may be defined in the system broadcast message (for example, system information block SIB1) for carrying all the above information. Then, the field that carries the special subframe structure configuration defined in the original protocol can no longer carry the configuration information of the special subframe structure. The field that carries the configuration of the special subframe structure defined in the original protocol may further carry the configuration information of the special subframe structure, and the special subframe structure corresponding to the field is referred to as the special subframe structure 3. In this case, during the mobility measurement of the terminal, the special subframe structure 3 is used to communicate with the terminal. When the inter-base station air interface monitoring is required, a special subframe structure 1 is used, and the rest of the radio frames use a special subframe structure 2.

It is also possible to define a new field in the system broadcast message (e.g., SIB1) for carrying the configuration information of the special subframe structure and the value of N. If the value sent is also carried in this field. The field carrying the special subframe structure configuration defined in the original protocol carries the configuration information of the special subframe structure 2. In this case, when the inter-base station air interface monitoring is required, the special subframe structure 1 is used, and the rest of the radio frames use the special subframe structure 2.

The terminal receives the system broadcast message sent by the HeNB1, and obtains the configuration information of the special subframe structure. And other information.

Specifically, if the newly defined field carries the configuration information of the special subframe structure 1, the configuration information of the special subframe structure 2, and the value of N, optionally, the value also carried. The terminal obtains the information from the newly defined field, determines the SFN of the radio frame according to N and determines the special subframe structure 1 used by the radio frames corresponding to the SFN according to the configuration information of the special subframe structure 1. If the field that carries the special subframe structure configuration defined in the original protocol also carries the configuration information of the special subframe structure 3, determine the special subframe structure used by the radio frame corresponding to the mobility measurement process, and determine the remaining radio frame. The special subframe structure used is two; if the special protocol defined in the original protocol carries the special subframe structure II.

If the special subframe structure used by the radio frame is dynamically configured, and the inter-station air interface monitoring is performed every N radio frames. Then, the system frame number (SFN) of the radio frame that needs to perform air interface monitoring between the base stations can be determined by the formula SFN mod N=M. The system frame number S of the radio frame is the number of the system frame of the radio frame, and N is the repetition period of the radio frame or field in which the special sub-frame structure is located, where M is 0 or a positive integer, and the value is fixed.

Before transmitting the special subframe on the radio frame, the HeNB1 sends signaling to the terminal, where the signaling carries the special subframe structure used by the current radio frame in which the radio frame is located, or carries a special subframe structure used by the radio frame. Configuration information. The set of radio frames may be a current radio frame including the signaling and a plurality of subsequent radio frames that are consecutive or discontinuous, or may be a plurality of radio frames that are consecutive or discontinuous after the current subframe in which the signaling is located. In addition, the set of radio frames may be radio frames with the same special subframe structure used, or may be radio frames with different special subframe structures.

Taking the physical layer control signaling as an example, the HeNB1 sends physical layer control signaling to the terminal in each of the first subframes of the radio frame that needs to perform air interface monitoring between the base stations, where the physical layer control signaling carries the special subframe. Configuration information for structure one. Or the physical layer control signaling sent in the first subframe of the first radio frame that needs to perform the inter-base station air interface monitoring carries the configuration information of the special subframe configuration 1 and the value of N, and optionally, the value carried . Further, if the field that carries the special subframe structure configuration defined in the original protocol no longer carries information, the HeNB1 does not need to perform radio frame monitoring between the base stations. In the first subframe, the physical layer control signaling is sent to the terminal, where the physical layer control signaling carries the configuration information of the special subframe used by the radio frame or a group of radio frames; of course, if the dynamic configuration is not required The special subframe structure of the radio frame can also send the configuration information of the special subframe structure 2 through the system broadcast message. It can be seen that the dynamic special subframe structure configuration and the pre-special subframe structure configuration can be combined. If the field of the special subframe structure configured in the original protocol still carries the configuration information of the special subframe structure, the HeNB1 may carry the configuration information of the special subframe structure 2 in the field.

Before receiving the special subframe, the terminal receives the foregoing signaling sent by the HeNB1, and obtains configuration information of the special subframe structure.

Specifically, if the signaling carries the configuration information of the special subframe structure 1 or the configuration information of the special subframe structure 2, the terminal determines the special subframe structure used by the radio frame. If the field of the special subframe structure configured in the original protocol also carries the configuration information of the special subframe structure, the configuration information of the special subframe structure carried in the field is used to determine the radio frame corresponding to the mobility measurement process. Special subframe structure.
