Description

使用频谱资源进行通信的方法和通信设备 技术领域
本发明涉及通信系统，尤其是涉及一种使用频谱资源进行通信的方法和通信设备。
背景技术
无线电频谱资源是一种具有稀缺性的战略资源。频谱资源可以被划分为两类：授权频段和非授权频段。例如，无线高保真(WIreless Fidelity，WiFi)、蓝牙等技术使用的频谱资源，一般免费开放给大众，无需授权，称为非授权频段。
由于频谱资源的稀缺性，已分配的授权频段无法满足未来的需求。为了获取新的频谱，可以利用非授权频段作为授权频段的有益补充。
然而，第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project，3GPP)系统拟部署的非授权频段，早已部署/正在部署在其它系统中。WiFi技术采用非授权频段，例如，5GHz频段的802.11a/n/ac，60GHz频段的802.11ad。
通常，WiFi系统是由一个接入点(Access Point,AP)和若干个站点(Station,STA)组成。3GPP系统常采用的由基站(Base Station，BS)集中控制、基于同步帧的持续调度的方式使用频谱资源，WiFi系统采用一种被称为带冲突避免的载波侦听多址接入(Carrier Sensing Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance,CSMA/CA)技术，竞争地获取资源。其工作原理为：首先等待媒介(即频谱)资源“空闲”，然后站点(或AP)开始等待一个随机时段，在此期间继续载波侦听(Carrier Sensing,CS)，如果直到等待时刻结束时资源仍为“空闲”，则站点开始传输，传输有数据大小和持续时长的约束，当触发约束时，即使仍有业务，站点需再次竞争资源。
由于WiFi系统基于CSMA/CA方式使用非授权频谱资源，当出现干扰后，它会主动等待、回避3GPP系统的信号，这样，3GPP系统会长期占据非授权频谱资源，WiFi系统始终处于干扰回避、等待状态。
为了克服上述技术问题，一种现有技术是在3GPP系统的帧结构中空置部分子帧预留给WiFi系统，并通过空置比例的调整，实现两系统对非授权 频谱资源的公平使用。
然而，在上述技术方案中，如果WiFi系统在该子帧内没有或者只有少量的业务需求，则会导致频谱资源浪费。

图2是根据本发明的一个实施例的单位时隙划分的示意图。
参见图2，本发明的实施例可以将非授权频谱资源在时域上划分多个单位时隙，并且将每个单位时隙划分成第一子时隙和第二子时隙，其中，在第一子时隙内，3GPP基站110和用户设备111使用非授权频谱资源中的资源带宽进行通信的优先级高于WiFi系统的接入点120和站点121使用非授权频谱资源中的资源带宽的优先级。在第二子时隙内，3GPP基站110和用户设备111使用非授权频谱资源中的资源带宽进行通信的优先级低于WiFi系统的接入点120和站点121使用非授权频谱资源中的资源带宽进行通信的优先级。换句话说，第一子时隙内，3GPP基站110和用户设备111可以优先使用非授权频谱资源中的资源带宽进行通信，在第二子时隙内，WiFi系统的接入点120和站点121可以优先使用非授权频谱资源中的资源带宽进行通信。
应理解，虽然图2的实施例以第一子时隙在单位时隙中位于第二子时隙之前为例进行说明，但本发明的实施例并不限于此，例如，第一子时隙在单位时隙中也可以位于第二子时隙之后。
还应理解，虽然图2的实施例以单位时隙包含第一子时隙和第二子时隙为例进行说明，但本发明的实施例并不限于此，例如，单位时隙可以包括多个第一子时隙和/或多个第二子时隙。
图3是根据本发明的一个实施例的CSMA/CA方式的示意图。图3的实施例以WiFi系统为例进行说明。
参见图3，CSMA/CA技术用于检测和避免两个以上的网络设备在网络上进行数据传输时的冲突。CSMA/CA技术的工作原理为：WiFi系统的设备(例如，站点或AP)首先进行载波侦听(Carrier Sensing,CS)，以确定非授权频谱资源(媒介资源)是否处于忙状态，如果站点或AP确定非授权频谱资源空闲或结束忙状态，则开始等待抢占非授权频谱资源的时长，即站点或AP首先等待一个时段DIFS，然后站点或AP开始等待一个随机时段(竞争 窗口或回退时间)。在此期间继续载波侦听，如果直到上述等待抢占非授权频谱资源的时长结束时非授权频谱资源仍为“空闲”，则站点开始传输数据。如果站点或AP在上述等待抢占非授权频谱资源的时长结束时侦听到非授权频谱资源又处于忙状态，则重新开始等待抢占非授权频谱资源的时长。另外，传输有数据大小和持续时长的约束，当触发约束时，即使仍有业务，站点需再次竞争资源。
具体而言，站点首先侦听非授权频谱资源(例如，拟占用带宽或信道)有没有被其它站点使用，即非授权频谱资源是否空闲。如果非授权频谱资源空闲，则该站点等待分布式帧间间隔(Distributed Inter-frame Spacing，DIFS)时长，如果非授权频谱资源忙，则该站点继续侦听。如果在等待DIFS时长过程有其它站点占用非授权频谱资源，则该站点重新等待DIFS时长，并且继续侦听。如果DIFS时长期满，则开始进入倒计时状态，即进入竞争窗口，该竞争窗口时长也称为回退时间。在倒计时的过程，如果非授权频谱资源空闲，即其它站点没有传输数据，则倒计时完成后该站点进行数据传输。如果倒计时期间有其它站点占用非授权频谱资源，则该站点继续侦听，等待其他站点传输数据，并记录倒计时时间，然后等待其他站点传输完数据后再继续等待DIFS时长，在等待DIFS时长后，从记录的倒计时时间开始继续进行倒计时，并且等倒计时结束后再进行数据传输。上述回退时间可以是随机确定的，竞争窗口可以表示为(CWmin，CWmax),例如，在WLAN中，CW可以设置为2^n-1，其中n为正整数，以方便在二进制器件上实现。例如，CWmin＝2^4-1＝15，CWmax＝2^5-1＝31，表示窗口的大小可以在[15，31]的区间内随机选取。
应理解，本发明的实施例的WiFi系统虽然以CSMA/CA机制为例描述WiFi系统竞争非授权频谱资源的机制，但本发明的实施例并不限于此，本发明的实施例的WiFi系统也可以采用其它先听后讲(Listen Before Talk，LBT)的机制竞争非授权频谱资源或者授权频谱资源。
图4是根据本发明的一个实施例的使用频谱资源进行通信的方法的示意性流程图。例如，图4的方法可以由图1的3GPP基站来执行。
410，第一通信系统的第一通信设备确定单位时隙中的第一子时隙和第二子时隙，其中在单位时隙内，第一通信系统的第一通信设备和第二通信系统的第二通信设备共享频谱资源。
例如，单位时隙可以为针对频谱资源在时域上划分的多个单位时隙中的任一时隙。第一通信通信系统的第一通信设备和第二通信系统的第二通信设备均可以在第一子隙和第二子时隙内以不同的优先级使用频谱资源。第一子时隙的时长可以等于第二子时隙的时长，本发明的实施例并不限于此，第一子时隙的时长也可以不等于第二子时隙的时长。在单位时隙中，第一子时隙可以设置在第二子时隙之前，或者第一子时隙可以设置在第二子时隙之后。
例如，第一通信系统可以为3GPP系统，第二通信系统可以为WiFi系统。本发明的实施例对此不作限定，例如，第一通信系统还可以为GSM系统或者其它使用授权频谱资源进行通信的系统，第二通信系统可以为蓝牙系统或者其它使用频谱资源进行通信的系统。第一通信设备可以是3GPP系统中的基站或用户设备，第二通信设备可以是WiFi系统中的AP或站点。
420，第一通信设备在第一子时隙内，以高于第二通信设备的优先级使用频谱资源进行通信，其中第一通信设备在第二子时隙内使用频谱资源的优先级低于第二通信设备在第二子时隙内使用频谱资源的优先级。
具体而言，在第一子时隙内，第一通信设备使用频谱资源进行通信的优先级高于第二通信设备使用频谱资源进行通信的优先级。在第二子时隙内，第一通信设备使用频谱资源进行通信的优先级低于第二通信设备使用频谱资源进行通信的优先级。换句话说，第一子时隙内，第一通信设备可以优先使用频谱资源进行通信，在第二子时隙内，第二通信设备可以优先使用频谱资源进行通信。
应理解，虽然本发明的实施例是以单位时隙中的两个子时隙为例进行说明，但本发明的实施例并不限于此，单位时隙可以包括更多个子时隙，并且可以根据需要设置第一通信系统的通信设备和第二通信系统的通信设备在各个子时隙中使用频谱资源进行通信的优先级，只要使得在至少一个子时隙中，第一通信设备使用频谱资源的优先级高于第二通信设备使用频谱资源的优先级，并且使得在至少一个子时隙中，第一通信设备使用频谱资源的优先级低于第二通信设备使用频谱资源的优先级即可。
还应理解，虽然本发明的实施例以第二通信系统中的第二通信设备为例进行说明，但第二通信系统中可以存在多个通信设备，第二通信系统中的多个通信设备在第二子时隙内可以以相同的优先级竞争频谱资源。
还应理解，上述频谱资源可以是一段带宽或多段带宽，也可以是一个或 多个信道，甚至可以是全部的频段。
根据本发明的实施例，频谱资源可以为非授权频谱资源，本发明的实施例并不限于此，例如，频谱资源也可以为授权频谱资源。
根据本发明的实施例，本发明的实施例的第一通信系统的设备在单位时隙的第一子时隙内，以高于第二通信系统的设备的优先级使用频谱资源进行通信，并且在单位时隙的第二子时隙内，以低于第二通信系统的设备的优先级使用频谱资源进行通信。由于频谱资源可以由两个通信系统在不同的时隙中以不同的优先级使用，避免了为第二通信系统预留固定的频谱资源，因此提高了频谱资源的利用率。
根据本发明的实施例，在420中，第一通信设备在第一子时隙内，持续使用频谱资源进行通信，以使得第二通信设备在第一子时隙内，在第一通信设备不使用频谱资源时使用频谱资源进行通信。
换句话说，第一子时隙内的频谱资源被第一通信设备占用，只有在第一通信设备在第一子时隙内不使用频谱资源时，第二通信设备才能使用频谱资源，这样在保证了第一通信设备使用频谱资源的同时，使得在第一通信设备不使用频谱资源时，频谱资源可以被第二通信设备有效利用，从而提高了频谱资源的利用率。
可选地，作为另一实施例，在420中，图4的方法还包括：第一通信设备在第二子时隙内，在第二通信设备不使用频谱资源时使用频谱资源进行通信。
换句话说，第二子时隙内的频谱资源被第二通信设备占用，只有在第二通信设备在第二子时隙内不使用频谱资源时，第一通信设备才能使用频谱资源，这样不仅满足了第二通信设备使用频谱资源，而且在第二通信设备不使用频谱资源时，频谱资源可以被第一通信设备收回，从而提高频谱资源的利用率。
根据本发明的实施例，在420中，第一通信设备在第一子时隙内使用频谱资源进行通信时频谱资源空闲的时长小于第二通信设备等待抢占频谱资源的时长。
例如，当第二通信设备采用CSMA/CA方式时，第二通信设备的等待抢占频谱资源的时长等于DIFS时长与回退时间之和。由于第一通信设备在通信时持续占用频谱资源，并且资源空闲的时间小于第二通信设备等待抢占频 谱资源的时长，从而使得第二通信设备在第一通信设备通信期间始终处于等待状态。例如，在3GPP系统中，基站在使用授权频谱资源进行通信时，资源空闲的时间通常小于WiFi系统采用CSMA/CA方式进行通信时等待抢占频谱资源的时长，因此，在第一子时隙中，第一通信设备可以采用与其在使用授权频谱资源进行通信时采用的相同方式使用频谱资源进行通信，从而保证其使用频谱资源的优先级要高于WiFi系统使用频谱资源的优先级。当然，基站在第一子时隙中也可以采用CSMA/CA方式进行通信，只要满足基站使用等待抢占频谱资源的时长小于第二通信设备等待抢占频谱资源的时长即可。
可选地，作为另一实施例，在420中，第一通信设备在第二子时隙内使用频谱资源进行通信时频谱资源空闲的时长大于第二通信设备等待抢占频谱资源的时长。
根据本发明的实施例，在420中，第一通信设备在第二子时隙内采用第一先听后说LBT方式使用频谱资源进行通信，第二通信设备在第二子时隙内采用第二先听后说方式使用频谱资源进行通信，第一先听后说方式的分布式帧间间隔的时长大于第二先听后说方式的分布式帧间间隔的时长或者第一先听后说方式中频谱资源空闲的开始时刻到第一先听后说方式的竞争窗口的开始时刻之间的时长大于第二先听后说方式中频谱资源空闲的开始时刻到第一先听后说方式的竞争窗口的开始时刻之间的时长，其中，第二通信设备等待抢占频谱资源的时长包括第二先听后说方式的DIFS的时长与第二先听后说方式的竞争窗口的时长之和。
根据本发明的实例，LBT方式可以为CSMA/CA方式。例如，第一通信设备的CSMA/CA方式中频谱资源的资源忙的结束时刻到第一通信设备的CSMA/CA方式的竞争窗口的开始时刻之间的时长大于第二通信设备的CSMA/CA方式中频谱资源的资源忙的结束时刻到第二通信设备的CSMA/CA方式的竞争窗口的开始时刻之间的时长。
根据本发明的实施例，在420中，第一通信设备在第二子时隙内采用第一先听后说方式使用频谱资源进行通信，第二通信设备在第二子时隙内采用第二先听后说方式使用频谱资源进行通信，第一先听后说方式的竞争窗口时长的最小值大于第二先听后说方式的竞争窗口时长的最小值，和/或第一先听后说方式的竞争窗口时长的最大值大于第二先听后说方式的竞争窗口时长 的最大值，其中，第二通信设备等待抢占频谱资源的时长包括第二先听后说方式的DIFS的时长与第二先听后说方式的竞争窗口的时长之和。
可选地，作为另一实施例，在第一通信设备在第一子时隙内，以高于第二通信系统的第二通信设备的优先级使用频谱资源进行通信之前，图4的方法还包括：第一通信设备获取第二通信设备的当前负荷信息；第一通信设备根据第二通信设备的当前负荷信息确定第一先听后说方式的DIFS的时长与第一先听后说方式的竞争窗口的时长。
根据本发明的实施例，第一通信设备能够调整和控制与回收闲置资源能力相关的两个参数：DIFS和CW，主要是为了减小第一通信设备使用频谱资源时在时域上的竞争开销。由于第一通信设备使用频谱资源的优先级被设计为低于第二通信使用频谱资源的优先级，因此，第一通信设备等待抢占频谱资源的时长需要大于第二通信设备等待频谱资源的时长，从而在时域上产生了额外的竞争开销。第一通信设备使用的(DIFS，CW)越趋同于第二通信设备的(DIFS，CW)，即两者的优先级越接近，则竞争开销越小。因此，为了减少第一通信设备的竞争开销，可以在满足第二通信设备的负荷要求的情况下，尽可能使第一通信设备使用的(DIFS，CW)接近于第二通信设备的(DIFS，CW)。
可选地，作为另一实施例，在第一通信设备在第一子时隙内，以高于第二通信设备的优先级使用频谱资源进行通信之前，图4的方法还包括：第一通信设备在第一子时隙的开始时刻广播网络分配矢量信息，其中网络分配矢量信息用于指示频谱资源处于忙状态，并且网络分配矢量信息包括第一子时隙的时长，以使得第一通信设备在第一子时隙的时长内不使用频谱资源，其中第一通信设备在第一子时隙内，以高于第二通信设备的优先级使用频谱资源进行通信，包括：第一通信设备在第一子时隙的时长内使用频谱资源进行通信。
例如，多个第二通信系统的设备之间可以通过广播网络分配矢量信息的方式来通知是否占用频谱资源，即频谱资源是否处于忙状态或空闲状态，接收到网络分配矢量信息的设备将不会在网络分配矢量信息占用的第一子时隙内在拟占用频谱资源的带宽上使用频谱资源的带宽。第一通信设备可以模拟第二通信系统的设备在第一子时隙的开始时刻发送网络分配矢量信息，使得第二通信设备获知频谱资源被占用，从而在第一子时隙内等待资源空闲， 这样可以确保第一通信设备在第一子时隙内使用频谱资源的优先级高于第二通信设备在第一子时隙内频谱资源的优先级。
可选地，作为另一实施例，在第一通信系统的第一通信设备确定单位时隙中的第一子时隙和第二子时隙之前，图4的方法还包括：第一通信设备确定单位时隙的时长；第一通信设备按照所确定的单位时隙的时长将频谱资源在时域上划分为多个单位时隙，单位时隙为多个单位时隙之一；第一通信设备确定第一子时隙和第二子时隙在单位时隙中的比例；第一通信设备根据所确定的述第一子时隙和第二子时隙在单位时隙中的比例，将多个时隙中的每个单位时隙划分为第一子时隙和第二子时隙。
例如，第一子时隙和第二子时隙的比例可以预先设置，也可以实时地根据第一通信设备和/或第二通信设备的负荷信息来确定。
可选地，作为另一实施例，在第一通信设备确定第一子时隙和第二子时隙在单位时隙中的比例之前，图4的方法还包括：第一通信设备获取第二通信设备的当前负荷信息，其中第一通信设备确定第一子时隙和第二子时隙在单位时隙中的比例，包括：第一通信设备根据第二通信设备的当前负荷信息确定第一子时隙和第二子时隙在单位时隙中的比例。
具体地，第一通信设备在第二子时隙内对第二通信设备的工作状况进行侦听，以获取第二通信设备的当前业务负荷信息，例如，获取第二通信设备的业务的流量等信息以及第一通信设备自身的业务的流量等信息。第一通信设备基于第二通信设备的当前业务负荷信息和第一通信设备的当前业务负荷信息确定第一子时隙和第二子时隙的在单位时隙的比例，并且按照确定的第一子时隙与第二子时隙在单位时隙的比例，将单位时隙划分成第一子时隙和第二子时隙。例如，如果第二通信设备的当前业务负荷较高，则第二子时隙在单位时隙所占的比例可以较大，如果第二通信设备的当前业务负荷较低，则第二子时隙在单位时隙所占的比例可以较小。由于第一通信设备在划分第一子时隙和第二子时隙时考虑了第二通信设备的负荷情况，因此，能够降低对第二通信设备的影响。
可选地，作为另一实施例，第一通信设备还可以通过高层信令的方式获取网络先验信息，该网络先验信息可以用于指示第二通信设备的历史业务的规律，例如，第一通信设备可以根据该网络先验信息获取第二通信设备的历史业务的负荷信息。第一通信设备还可以基于第二通信设备的当前业务负荷 信息和第一通信设备的当前业务负荷信息以及第一通信设备和/或第二通信设备的网络先验信息确定第一子时隙和第二子时隙的在单位时隙的比例，并且按照确定的第一子时隙与第二子时隙在单位时隙的比例将单位时隙划分成第一子时隙和第二子时隙。具体的划分过程详见图5的实施例，在此不再赘述。
根据本发明的实施例，由于第一子时隙和第二子时隙在单位时隙中的时长的比例可以根据第一通信系统和/或第二通信设备的负荷情况进行调整，从而使得对于频谱的利用率得以进一步提高。
可选地，作为另一实施例，在第一通信设备确定单位时隙的时长之前，图4的方法还包括：第一通信设备获取第二通信设备对实时性的要求，其中第一通信设备确定单位时隙的时长，包括：第一通信设备按照第二通信设备对实时性的要求确定单位时隙的时长。
具体地，如果第二通信设备对业务实时性的要求较高，则可以采用较短的单位时隙，如果第二通信设备对业务实时性的要求较低，则可以采用较长的单位时隙。
根据本发明的实施例，由于将单位时隙可以根据第二通信设备的业务的实时性的要求进行调整，使得单位时隙的时长能够适应业务的实时性的要求的变化，从而能够在提高资源利用率的同时满足第二通信设备的业务的实时性要求，降低了对第二通信设备的影响。
根据本发明的实施例，频谱资源为第一通信系统和至少一个第二通信系统共享的非授权频谱资源，至少一个第二通信系统的第二通信设备采用先听后说LBT方式使用非授权频谱资源进行通信。
例如，LBT方式可以为载波侦听多点接入/冲突检测CSMA/CA方式。
可替代地，作为另一实施例，频谱资源为第一通信系统和至少一个第二通信系统共享的授权频谱资源，至少一个第二通信系统的第二通信设备采用先听后说LBT方式使用授权频谱资源进行通信。
根据本发明的实施例，第一通信系统为蜂窝通信系统，第二通信系统为无线局域网通信系统，第一通信设备为基站或用户设备，第二通信设备为无线接入点或站点，
例如，第一通信系统为3GPP系统，第二通信系统为WiFi系统。在第一通信设备为基站的情况下，第二设备可以为无线接入点或站点。在第一通 信设备为用户设备的情况下，第二设备可以为无线接入点或站点。
可替代地，作为另一实施例，第一通信系统和第二通信系统均为蜂窝通信系统，第一通信设备和第二通信设备均为基站或用户设备。
例如，第一通信系统和第二通信系统可以均为3GPP系统。在第一通信设备为基站的情况下，第二设备可以为基站或用户设备。在第一通信设备为用户设备的情况下，第二设备可以为基站或用户设备。
可替代地，作为另一实施例，第一通信系统和第二通信系统可以均为WiFi系统。在第一通信设备为无线接入点的情况下，第二设备可以为无线接入点或站点。在第一通信设备为站点的情况下，第二设备可以为无线接入点或站点。
下面结合具体例子，更加详细地描述本发明的实施例。
图5是根据本发明的另一实施例的使用非授权频谱资源进行通信的过程示意性流程图。在图5中，eNodeB表示UE的当前服务小区的控制基站，但是本发明不限于该术语代表的具体制式，而是可以类似地应用于其他形式的基站。
510，eNodeB获取同频部署的WiFi系统的业务对实时性的要求。
具体地，eNodeB可以通过对同频部署的WiFi系统的业务的特点进行统计，以确定WiFi系统对业务实时性的要求。例如，基站可以统计业务数据包的传输周期或传输数据包的时间间隔。例如，基站可以统计一段时间内某个WiFi系统传输的数据包的个数，并据此得到传输周期或传输数据包的时间隔。如果传输周期较低或数据包的时间间隔较短，则说明WiFi系统对业务实时性的要求较高，否则，说明WiFi系统对业务实时性的要求较低。
520，eNodeB基于WiFi系统的实时性要求在非授权频谱资源的时域上划分多个单位时隙。
具体地，eNodeB基于WiFi系统的实时性要求确定单位时隙的时长，并且根据确定的单位时隙时长在时域上划分多个单位时隙。例如，如果WiFi系统对业务实时性的要求较高，则可以采用较短的单位时隙，如果WiFi系统对业务实时性的要求较低，则可以采用较长的单位时隙。
可替代地，这些单位时隙也可以由3GPP系统配置，例如，eNodeB可以通过高层信令方式获取3GPP系统配置的单位时隙的时长。
应理解，这些单位时隙可以设计为等时长，例如，可以设计为1ms的时长，这样的好处在于设计和控制简单，另外，由于控制简单，使得信令开销较小，本发明的实施例对此不作限定，例如，这些单位时隙也可以设计为非等时长，这样的好处在于可以根据业务的实时性的要求调整单位时隙的时长，从而使得单位时隙的时长能够适应业务的实时性的要求的变化。
530，eNodeB获取同频部署的WiFi系统的当前业务负荷信息和/或网络先验信息以及eNodeB的当前业务负荷信息。
例如，eNodeB在第二子时隙内对同频部署的WiFi系统的工作状况进行侦听，以获取WiFi系统的当前业务负荷信息，例如，获取WiFi系统的业务的流量等信息以及eNodeB自身的业务的流量等信息。
可选地，eNodeB还可以通过高层信令的方式获取网络先验信息，该网络先验信息可以用于指示WiFi系统的历史业务的规律，例如，eNodeB可以根据该网络先验信息获取WiFi系统的历史业务的负荷信息。
540，eNodeB基于WiFi系统的当前业务负荷信息和eNodeB的当前业务负荷信息将单位时隙划分成第一子时隙和第二子时隙。
具体地，eNodeB基于WiFi系统的当前业务负荷信息和eNodeB的当前业务负荷信息确定第一子时隙和第二子时隙的在单位时隙的比例，并且按照确定的第一子时隙与第二子时隙在单位时隙的比例，将单位时隙划分成第一子时隙和第二子时隙。例如，如果WiFi系统的当前业务负荷较高，例如，负荷大于预设阈值，则第二子时隙在单位时隙所占的比例可以较大，如果WiFi系统的当前业务负荷较低，例如，负荷小于预设阈值，，则第二子时隙在单位时隙所占的比例可以较小。
可选地，eNodeB还可以基于WiFi系统的当前业务负荷信息和eNodeB的当前业务负荷信息以及eNodeB和/或WiFi系统的网络先验信息确定第一子时隙和第二子时隙的在单位时隙的比例，并且按照确定的第一子时隙与第二子时隙在单位时隙的比例将单位时隙划分成第一子时隙和第二子时隙。例如，eNodeB可以根据该网络先验信息确定业务负荷的初始值，根据该初始值确定第一子时隙和第二子时隙在单位时隙的比例的初始值，并根据该初始值划分第一子时隙和第二子时隙。然后，在接下来的单位时隙中，可以根据获取的eNodeB和/或WiFi系统的当前业务负荷信息和对第一子时隙和第二 子时隙在单位时隙的比例进行调整，从而能够使得第一子时隙和第二子时隙在单位时隙的比例更快地适应eNodeB和WiFi系统的当前业务负荷的变化。
应理解，本发明的实施例对510、520与530、540的执行顺序不作限定，例如，530和540可以在510和520之前执行。
550，eNodeB在第一子时隙的开始时刻，模拟WiFi系统的设备广播携带网络分配矢量(Network Allocation Vector，NAV)信息的信号。
例如，该信号可以是信标(Beacon)/请求发送(Request To Send，RTS)信号，该NAV信息包括当前单位时隙中的第一子时隙的时长。eNodeB可以在拟占用的非授权频谱资源的带宽上发送包含NAV的信号，从而排他性地宣称其对该带宽的占用。NAV用于指示要占用目标非授权频谱资源的媒介多长时间，例如，NAV的值不为零(例如，1us)表示媒介忙，NAV的值为0表示媒介空闲。接收端接收到包含NAV的信号后会启动内部计数器开始倒计时，在计数器未归0时刻，接收端均认为信道处于忙状态。
560，eNodeB在第一子时隙内，使用非授权频谱资源进行通信。
例如，如果WiFi系统的设备接收到NAV信息，则确定在第一子时隙内非授权频谱资源处于忙状态，从而无法在第一子时隙上成功竞争资源，除非eNodeB停止工作，即eNodeB在第一子时隙上使用目标非授权频谱资源的优先级高于WiFi系统的设备在第一子时隙上使用目标非授权频谱资源的优先级，这样，eNodeB能够在第一子时隙内优先使用目标非授权频谱资源进行通信。
570，eNodeB在第二子时隙内，采用CSMA/CA方式使用非授权频谱资源进行通信。
例如，eNodeB和WiFi系统的设备在第二子时隙内均采用CSMA/CA方式使用非授权频谱资源进行通信，其中eNodeB的CSMA/CA方式的DIFS的时长大于WiFi系统的设备的CSMA/CA方式的DIFS的时长。参见图6A，eNodeB采用的CSMA/CA方式时的DIFS大于WiFi系统的设备采用CSMA/CA方式时的DIFS。
eNodeB的CSMA/CA方式中非授权频谱资源忙的结束时刻到eNodeB的CSMA/CA方式的竞争窗口的开始时刻之间的时长大于WiFi系统的设备的CSMA/CA方式中非授权频谱资源忙的结束时刻到WiFi系统的设备的CSMA/CA方式的竞争窗口的开始时刻之间的时长。或者说，eNodeB的 CSMA/CA方式中非授权频谱资源空闲的开始时刻到eNodeB的CSMA/CA方式的竞争窗口的开始时刻之间的时长大于WiFi系统的设备的CSMA/CA方式中非授权频谱资源空闲的开始时刻到WiFi系统的设备的CSMA/CA方式的竞争窗口的开始时刻之间的时长。参见图6B，eNodeB采用CSMA/CA方式时资源忙的结束时刻到竞争窗口的开始时刻之间的时长为DIFS+Δ，而WiFi采用CSMA/CA方式时资源忙的结束时刻到竞争窗口的开始时刻之间的时长为DIFS。
580，eNodeB根据WiFi系统的当前负荷信息确定DIFS的时长与竞争窗口的时长。
为了减小eNodeB采用CSMA/CA方式带来的额外竞争开销，需要使得eNodeB的DIFS的时长和竞争窗口的时长尽可能接近WiFi系统的DIFS的时长和竞争窗口的时长，而为了满足WiFi系统的负荷要求，又需要增加WiFi系统的DIFS的时长和竞争窗口的时长，因此，需要根据WiFi系统的负荷要求在两者之间进行均衡，以确定合适的DIFS的时长和竞争窗口的时长。
590，eNodeB通知用户设备单位时隙的时长、第一子时隙和第二子时隙的时长的比例以及DIFS的时长与竞争窗口的时长。
例如，eNodeB通过系统消息，将确定的单位时隙的时长以及第一子时隙和第二子时隙在单位时隙中的时长的比例发送至eNodeB所管辖或服务的各个用户设备，以便用户设备根据单位时隙的时长以及第一子时隙和第二子时隙的时长的比例在单位时隙内使用目标非授权频谱资源进行通信。
应理解，本发明的实施例对550、560与570的执行顺序不作限定，例如，570可以在550或560之前执行。
图7是根据本发明的另一实施例的使用非授权频谱资源进行通信的过程的示意性流程图。在图7中，eNodeB表示UE的当前服务小区的控制基站，但是本发明不限于该术语代表的具体制式，而是可以类似地应用于其他形式的基站。图7的710至740与图5的510至540类似，在此适当省略详细的描述。
710，eNodeB获取同频部署的WiFi系统的业务对实时性的要求。
720，eNodeB基于WiFi系统的实时性要求在非授权频谱资源的时域上划分多个单位时隙。
730，eNodeB获取同频部署的WiFi系统的当前业务负荷信息和/或网络 先验信息以及eNodeB的当前业务负荷信息。
740，eNodeB基于WiFi系统的当前业务负荷信息和eNodeB的当前业务负荷信息将单位时隙划分成第一子时隙和第二子时隙。
应理解，本发明的实施例对710、720与730、740的执行顺序不作限定，例如，730和740可以在710和720之前执行。
760，eNodeB在第一子时隙内，采用与使用授权频谱相同的方式使用非授权频谱资源进行通信。
例如，在3GPP系统通常采用由BS集中控制、基于同步帧的持续调度的方式，在eNodeB在第一子时隙采用持续调度的方式使用非授权频谱资源进行通信时，由WiFi对非授权频谱资源的使用是基于CSMA/CA方式，当出现干扰后，它会主动等待、规避3GPP系统信号，最终造成的结果是3GPP在第一子时隙内优先占据频谱资源，WiFi用户始终处于干扰回避、等待状态。
770，eNodeB在第二子时隙内，以低于WiFi系统的优先级使用非授权频谱资源进行通信。
第一通信设备在第二子时隙内采用第一CSMA/CA方式使用非授权频谱资源进行通信，其中第二通信设备在第二子时隙内采用第二CSMA/CA方式使用非授权频谱资源进行通信，第一CSMA/CA方式的竞争窗口时长的最小值大于第二CSMA/CA方式的竞争窗口时长的最小值，和/或第一CSMA/CA方式的竞争窗口时长的最大值大于第二CSMA/CA方式的竞争窗口时长的最大值。
780，eNodeB根据WiFi系统的当前负荷信息确定DIFS的时长与竞争窗口的时长。
790，eNodeB通知用户设备单位时隙的时长、第一子时隙和第二子时隙的时长的比例以及DIFS的时长与竞争窗口的时长。
应理解，本发明的实施例对760与770的执行顺序不作限定，例如，770可以在760之前执行。
根据本发明的实施例，在第二子时隙内，当WIFI不使用信道时，eNodeB能够及时回收资源，避免造成浪费。而且，eNodeB能够根据网络先验信息和/或监测或侦听到的业务负荷信息，分析出WIFI系统的业务特点(比如业务流量、信道使用频繁度、每次使用信道时占用的时长等)，从而预测出WIFI系统的资源使用情况，eNodeB可以根据该预测结果，调整单位时隙以及第 一子时隙和第二子时隙的占比，从而可以尽可能降低对第二通信系统的影响。另外，本发明的实施例还能够调整和控制与回收闲置资源能力相关的两个参数：DIFS和CW，主要是为了减小eNodeB在时域上的竞争开销。eNodeB使用的(DIFS，CW)越趋同于WIFI的设备的(DIFS，CW)，即两者的优先级越接近，则竞争开销越小。
