根据国际电信同盟(ITU，International Telecommunications Union)的预测，随着用户移动通信需求的不断攀升，到2020年，移动通信业务有可能出现超过500倍，甚至到达1000倍的增长，因此无线通讯业内正在探讨各种可能的技术，以扩容网络能力，增强网络覆盖，从而满足移动业务爆发式增长的态势。其中一种可能的方向为让多种蜂窝无线通信技术或者多个运营商部署的一种蜂窝无线通信技术之间共享使用相同的频率资源，从而打破传统蜂窝无线通信技术在授权频带(licensed spectrum/licensed band)上通过完全独占一个授权频率或者在一定时间、一定区域内独占一个授权频率的方式，以提高频率利用率，扩容网络能力，增强网络覆盖。但是多种蜂窝无线通信技术或者多个运营商部署的一种蜂窝无线通信技术很有可能会同一时间在相同的频率上发起数据传输，从而导致多种蜂窝无线通信技术或者多个运营商部署的一种蜂窝无线通信技术之间发生相互的干扰或者冲突的情况；此外，当可共享使用的频率资源上已经有在用的非蜂窝无线通信系统部署的时候，如无线本地局域网(WLAN，Wireless Local Area Network)、无线个域网(WPAN，Wireless Personal Area Network)、全球微波接入互操作性系统(WiMax，World Interoperability for Microwave Access)等，将蜂窝无线通信技术部署到这些可共享使用的频率资源上也会造成对这些在用的非蜂窝无线通信系统的干扰。因此，有必要寻求技术方案解决可共享使用的频率资源上的多种无线通信技术(包括蜂窝无线通信技术之间以及蜂窝无线通信技术与非蜂窝无线通信技术之间)或者多个运营商部署的同种无线通信技术之间的干扰的问题。

本发明的较佳实施方式
下面将结合附图及实施例对本发明的技术方案进行更详细的说明。
需要说明的是，如果不冲突，本发明实施例以及实施例中的各个特征可以相互结合，均在本发明的保护范围之内。另外，虽然在流程图中示出了逻辑顺序，但是在某些情况下，可以以不同于此处的顺序执行所示出或描述的步骤。
本发明实施例的共享频率使用方法适用于多载波场景中，可共享使用的频率(本文中简称为共享频率)作为用户设备UE的第二载波或称辅助载波(本发明实施例中载波和频率是想同的概念，可互换使用)，在用户设备的第一载波或称主载波的基础上为用户设备提供额外的无线资源。用户设备在某一个小区上与网络初始建立RRC(Radio Resource Control，无线资源控制)连接，该小区所使用的载波即为用户设备的第一载波(主载波)，该小区为用户设备的第一小区(主小区)。对于第一载波(主载波)，用户设备在所述使用第一载波(主载波)的小区上与网络建立了RRC连接直到用户设备断开与网络的RRC连接或者用户设备更换了第一载波(主载波)为止，在有数据传输需要时，用户设备和网络可以独占该第一载波(主载波)上的无线资源用于相互之间传输所述需要传输的数据，也即，第一载波(主载波)为非共享使用的频率，比如为不允许共享使用的授权载波，或者第一载波(主载 波)虽然为可共享使用的频率，但是至少在分配给所述用户设备作为所述用户设备的第一载波(主载波)的时间内，在有数据传输需要时，用户设备和网络可以独占该第一载波(主载波)上的无线资源用于相互之间传输所述需要传输的数据。可共享使用的频率可以是非授权频带(unlicensed spectrum/unlicensed band/license-exempt band)中的频率，比如2.4GHz，5GHz的工业科学医疗频段(Industrial Scientific Medical,ISM band)，或者可以是经过授权后与在用系统共享使用的频段中的频率，比如电视空白频段(TV White Space，TVWS)中的频率，甚至可以是授权频带中允许共享使用的频率。
本发明实施例的共享频率使用方法中，用户设备UE既配置了移动通信模块，可以通过移动通信技术与移动通信网络通信，又配置了WLAN模块，可以通过符合802.11协议定义的WLAN技术与WLAN站点通信，且移动通信模块和WLAN模块之间通过UE设备内的接口可以相互交互信息。而基站则可以仅配置移动通信模块，不配置WLAN模块。所述移动通信模块/技术可以但不限于为LTE模块/技术，在后文以LTE模块/技术为例进行说明。
需要说明的是，本发明实施例中的实施例仅用于说明本发明所提出的共享频率使用方法。本发明所举实施例中，均以长期演进(LTE，Long Term Evolution)系统中使用共享频率的小小区为例，这些小小区通过部署低功率基站节点(Low Power Node，LPN)实现，但并不限制本发明提出的共享频率使用方法的适用范畴，可以理解的，本发明实施例提出的方案不仅可以适用于LTE系统中其他类型的小区，比如宏小区；还可以适用于使用其他传统无线通信技术的各类型的小区，比如通用移动通信系统(UMTS，Universal Mobile Telecommunications System)等。此外，本发明实施例中的共享频率，是指多种无线通信技术或者多个运营商都可以共享使用的频率，并不限定和考虑共享的频率在本发明申请递交的国家或者地区的管控属性，具体频率可以是本发明申请递交的国家或者地区授权使用的频率，也可以是不需要本发明申请递交的国家或者地区授权的、可免费使用的频率。
图1为一定区域内的网络拓扑示意图，图1所示区域内，部署了3个LTE的低功率基站节点eNB1，eNB2，eNB3，eNB1，eNB2，eNB3均既支持非 共享使用的频率(比如授权独立使用的频率)又支持可共享使用的频率，这里假设eNB1支持两个频率F1和F2，其中F1为授权独立使用的频率，F2为可共享使用的频率，eNB1在F1上配置了小区cell1，在F2上配置了小区cell2，cell1和cell2的覆盖范围相同(实际部署时cell1和cell2的覆盖范围完全可以不相同)；eNB2支持两个频率F3和F2，其中F3为授权独立使用的频率，eNB2在F3上配置了小区cell3，在F2上配置了小区cell4，cell3和cell4的覆盖范围相同(实际部署时cell3和cell4的覆盖范围完全可以不相同)；eNB3支持两个频率F4和F2，其中F4为授权独立使用的频率，eNB3在F4上配置了小区cell5，在F2上配置了小区cell6，cell5和cell6的覆盖范围相同(实际部署时cell5和cell6的覆盖范围完全可以不相同)。3个低功率基站节点中，eNB1和eNB2相互在对方的覆盖区域内，也即eNB1和eNB2可以相互监听到对方。这里，相互监听到对方，以eNB1可以监听到eNB2为例，是指eNB2的射频发射信号可以被eNB1的射频接收装置接收到，或者指eNB2的射频发射信号可以被eNB1的射频接收装置接收到且eNB1所接收到的信号强度/信号质量好于预设值。需要说明的是，图1中假设eNB1，eNB2，eNB3均既支持非共享使用的频率(比如授权独立使用的频率)又支持可共享使用的频率，这只是一种可选实施方式而已，事实上，eNB1，eNB2，eNB3还可以仅支持可共享使用的频率，比如仅支持以上可共享使用频率F2，三个基站分别仅配置了F2上的cell2，cell4，cell6，在这种情况下，eNB1，eNB2，eNB3可以通过一定方式与支持非共享使用的频率(比如授权独立使用的频率)的eNB相连，具体的连接方式比如通过有线的光纤，无线的微波等方式连接。
图1所示区域内还部署了2个WLAN AP(Access Point，接入点)，AP1和AP2，均可使用共享频率F2，其中AP1与eNB1相互在对方的覆盖区域内，AP1与eNB2也相互在对方的覆盖区域内，即AP1，eNB1，eNB2可以相互监听到。区域内有很多用户设备，图中只示意了UE1～UE5。eNB1，eNB2，eNB3，AP1，AP2可以由同一个运营商或者不同的运营商部署运营。
eNB1，eNB2和AP1可以互相监听到，当eNB1，eNB2，AP1都在频率 F2上传输数据时，相互之间就很有可能相互干扰。eNB1和eNB3虽然不能相互监听到，但是eNB1和eNB3之间有重叠覆盖，以UE1和UE2为例，UE1与eNB1通信，UE2与eNB3通信，两者位于eNB1和eNB3的重叠覆盖区域内且相距较近，当UE1和UE2均使用频率F2分别与eNB1和eNB3通信时，UE1与eNB1的通信链路和UE2与eNB3的通信链路之间很有可能相互干扰。同样，eNB3和AP2之间虽然不能相互监听到，但是eNB3和AP2之间有重叠覆盖，以UE3和UE4为例，UE3与AP2通信，UE4与eNB3通信，两者位于AP2和eNB3的重叠覆盖区域内且相距较近，当UE3和UE4均使用频率F2分别与AP2和eNB3通信时，UE3与AP2的通信链路和UE4与eNB3的通信链路之间很有可能相互干扰。
为解决以上所述干扰问题，实现可共享频率在同一运营商或者不同运营商运营的使用相同的或者不同的无线通信技术的设备之间的高效共享使用，本申请提出以下共享频率使用方法，如图2所示，包括步骤210～260：
步骤210、确定用户设备UE分组；
将用户设备UE分组之前，所述被分组的UE已经在第一小区上与基站建立了RRC连接，所述第一小区使用第一载波。
将用户设备UE分组，包括将同一基站下需要使用相同的可共享使用的频率C的UE分组，同一个分组内每个UE的信道环境相近，分组方法可以是以下之一：
方法1、基站将UE分组，基站根据UE的位置将UE分组；
基站根据UE在第一小区上上报的测量信息或者定位信息，定位信息比如GPS(Global Position System，全球定位系统)定位信息，再比如UE内WLAN模块的定位结果，确定UE位置，根据UE位置将UE分组，包括：将位置相近的UE分在同一个分组内。
方法2、基站将UE分组，基站根据UE的上行时间提前量TA(Time Advance，时间提前量)将UE分组；
基站根据在第一小区上接收到的UE的信号计算UE的TA，根据TA将UE分组，包括：将TA值相同或者TA值相近的UE分在同一分组内。
以上方法1和方法2基站分组的方法中，基站分组后，将分组结果(分组信息)通知给UE，可选的通知方式比如基站为每个分组分配一个分组标识(Group Identity，G-ID)，基站通过UE与UE的第一小区所在的无线接入链路，通知所述UE其所属分组的分组标识。此外，基站在每个分组中选择一个UE作为分组代表UE，基站在分别通知所述UE分组标识的同时，告知所述UE其所在分组的分组代表UE标识，除此之外，基站还可以通知分组代表UE基站期望在第二小区上传输的该分组代表UE所在分组的数据流量，或者基站期望该分组代表UE所在分组在第二小区上激活的时间长度。
方法3、UE自行分组，UE利用设备间通信功能自行分组；
UE利用设备间通信功能，比如利用UE内部LTE模块的设备间通信功能(Device to Device，D2D)，或者利用UE内部WLAN模块相互之间的通信功能，将一定区域内(如区域内每个UE可以相互接收到双方发射的信号)的UE组成一个分组，分组内的UE可通过设备间通信功能获取分组内每个UE的标识信息。
UE分组后，可在分组内选择一个UE作为该分组的分组代表UE，通过该分组代表UE与该UE的第一小区之间的无线接入链路，将分组内UE的标识信息通知给基站，基站通过该通知本身获知该UE为该分组的分组代表UE，或者该UE在该通知消息中增加指示，用于表征该UE为该分组的分组代表UE。基站保存所接收到的每个分组内每个UE的标识信息以及分组代表UE的标识信息。
执行本步骤后，某一基站下的用户设备UE被分成了用户设备分组X0，用户设备分组X1，……用户设备分组Xn等分组。
步骤220、用户设备UE接收基站发送的第二小区配置信息，所述第二小区使用的载波为第二载波，所述第二载波为可共享使用的载波C。
需要说明的是，步骤210和步骤220不受执行顺序限制，即可以先执行步骤220再执行步骤210。对于由基站执行分组的情况，基站在将为UE配置所述第二小区之前，按步骤210中的方法1或方法2把这些将使用第二载波C的UE分组，或者基站在为UE配置所述第二小区之后，按步骤210中的方法1或方法2把这些将使用第二载波C的UE分组。对于由UE自行执行分 组的情况，UE可以在接收到由基站发送的第二小区的配置信息之后，按照步骤210的方法把将要使用第二载波C的UE分组。
UE接收并配置了第二小区后，所述第二小区处于非激活状态，除了发送或者接收信道占用信令，UE和基站不在所述第二小区上传输数据。
UE接收所述第二小区的配置信息之前，UE已经在第一小区上与基站建立了RRC连接，所述第一小区使用第一载波。UE在所述第一小区上通过所述UE与所述第一小区的无线接入链路接收基站发送的所述第二小区的配置信息。
UE接收的所述基站发送的第二小区配置信息中，可以包括所述基站发送给UE的所述基站期望在所述第二小区上传输的数据流量或者所述基站期望所述UE在第二小区上激活的时间长度。其中，对于步骤210中，由基站执行分组的情况(方法1和方法2)，或者由UE自行执行分组(方法3)且UE执行完分组后，选择了一个分组代表UE的情况，仅在分组代表UE接收的第二小区配置信息中包含所述数据流量或者所述在第二小区上激活的时间长度，且其中，分组代表UE接收的所述基站期望在所述第二小区上传输的数据流量，为所述基站期望的在所述第二小区上传输的所述分组代表UE所在分组的数据流量，在后续步骤240中，分组代表UE可以根据所述数据流量估算信道占用时长；分组代表UE接收的所述基站期望所述UE在第二小区上激活的时间长度，为所述基站期望的所述分组代表UE所在分组在第二小区上激活的时间长度，在后续步骤240中，分组代表UE可以根据所述激活的时间长度设置信道占用时长。对于步骤210中，由UE自行执行分组(方法3)且UE执行完分组后，并未选择一个分组代表UE的情况，所述UE接收的第二小区配置信息中均包含所述数据流量或者所述在第二小区上激活的时间长度，且其中所述UE接收的所述基站期望在所述第二小区上传输的数据流量，为所述基站期望对应接收的UE在所述第二小区上传输的数据流量，在后续步骤240中，发送信道占用信令的UE-Y可以根据分组内UE接收到的基站期望UE在所述第二小区上传输的数据流量的总和，估算信道占用时长；UE接收的所述基站期望所述UE在第二小区上激活的时间长度，为所述基站期望对应接收的UE在所述第二小区上激活的时间长度，在后续步骤 240中，发送信道占用信令的UE-Y可以根据分组内每个UE接收到的基站期望每个UE在第二小区上激活的时间长度中的最大时间长度设置信道占用时长，。
需要说明的是，上述描述是基于图1的网络拓扑图提出，所述基站即支持第一载波又支持第二载波，即所述第一小区和第二小区均由所述基站控制。若第一小区和第二小区由不同的基站控制时，称控制第一小区的基站为第一基站，控制第二小区的基站为第二基站，第一基站和第二基站相同或者不同；则本实施步骤中，所述基站为第一基站，UE接收第一基站发送的所述第二小区的配置信息。
步骤230、用户设备分组X中的用户设备UE-Y检测第二小区是否可用；
用户设备分组X为步骤210中所分成的用户设备分组X0，用户设备分组X1，……用户设备分组Xn中的任意分组。
对于步骤210中由基站将UE分组的情况(方法1和方法2)，基站会通知每个UE该UE的分组标识，以及会通知其中一个UE为分组代表UE，在这种情况下，UE-Y为用户设备分组X中的分组代表UE。
对于步骤210中由UE自行分组的情况(方法3)，若分组后在分组内选择了一个分组代表UE，那么在这种情况下，UE-Y为该用户设备分组X中的分组代表UE；若分组后没有在分组内选择分组代表UE，UE-Y可以是用户设备分组X中的任意一个UE。通过设备间通信技术，用户设备分组X中的其他UE获知UE-Y发起检测第二小区是否可用的操作后，这些UE不再发起检测第二小区是否可用的操作。
由于同一个分组内每个UE的信道环境相近，因此UE-Y可以代表用户设备分组X中每个UE去检测第二小区是否可用。
UE-Y通过UE-Y内LTE模块执行测量监听和WLAN模块执行空闲信道评估(Clear Channel Assessment)，检测判断第二小区是否可用。当LTE模块判断第二小区可用且WLAN模块判断第二载波可用时，UE-Y判断第二小区可用，当LTE模块判断第二小区不可用或WLAN模块判断第二载波不可 用时，判断第二小区不可用。若UE-Y判断第二小区不可用，则UE-Y继续执行步骤230，或者UE-Y根据预设算法在一段时间T之后继续执行步骤230。若UE-Y判断第二小区可用，则执行步骤240。
可选的，在满足以下两个条件时，LTE模块判断第二小区可用：
LTE模块根据对第二小区的测量，比如测量小区参考信号(Cell Reference Signal，CRS)，确定第二小区的信号质量或者信号强度超过预设值；
LTE模块未接收到其他用户设备分组(即用户设备分组X外的其他用户设备分组)中的UE发送的信道占用时间仍有效的信道占用请求，即LTE模块判断第二载波空闲。
如不满足以上任一条件，LTE模块判断第二小区不可用。也即，如果LTE模块检测到第二小区的信号质量或者信号强度未好于预设值，或者，LTE模块接收到其他用户设备分组(即用户设备分组X外的其他用户设备分组)中的UE发送的信道占用请求指示要占用第二载波T时间，则在T时间内判断第二载波不可用。
UE-Y内WLAN模块执行空闲信道评估，如果判断第二载波空闲，则第二小区可用，如果判断第二载波不空闲，则第二小区不可用。
步骤240、UE-Y在第二载波C上分别发送LTE制式的信道占用请求和WLAN制式的信道占用信令(CTS-to-self)，LTE制式的信道占用请求中包含用户设备分组X的信息和信道占用时长。
UE-Y在第二载波C上发送LTE制式的信道占用请求，是指信道占用请求的发送采用LTE支持的调制，编码等技术，符合LTE协议标准定义的方式发送。可以设置专门用于发送/接收信道占用信令(包括LTE制式的信道占用请求，信道占用响应等)的公共信道，UE-Y在所述公共信道上发送所述信道占用请求。具体的公共信道的设置可以有不同的方法，比如可以设置每个LTE子帧第二载波的中央N个RB(Resource Block，资源块)为所述公共信道，或者设置每间隔M个LTE子帧第二载波的中央N个RB为所述公共信道；比如还可以设置每个LTE子帧第二载波的的中央N个RB中去除最的中 央6个RB后的N-6个RB为所述公共信道，或者设置每间隔M个LTE子帧第二载波的中央N个RB中去除最的中央6个RB后的N-6个RB为所述公共信道；比如还可以设置每个LTE子帧的前X个符号上第二载波的全部带宽为公共信道；或者以其他方式设置的公共信道。
UE-Y发送的LTE制式的信道占用请求中，至少包含用户设备分组X的信息和信道占用时长。其中用户设备分组X的信息，对于步骤210中由基站执行分组的情况(方法1和方法2)，用户设备分组X的信息为UE-Y的标识信息或者用户设备分组X的分组标识。对于步骤210中由UE自行执行分组的情况(方法3)，若UE自行执行分组后，在分组内选择了一个分组代表UE(UE-Y)，用户设备分组X的信息为UE-Y的标识信息；若UE执行分组后，未在组内选择一个分组代表，则所述UE-Y可以为用户设备分组X中的任一UE，用户设备X的信息为用户设备分组X中所有UE的标识信息。其中信道占用时长，对于步骤210中由基站执行分组的情况(方法1和方法2)，基站通知分组代表UE(UE-Y)基站期望在第二小区上传输的用户设备分组X的数据流量或者基站期望用户设备分组X在第二小区上激活的时间长度，则信道占用时长由UE-Y根据所述收到的基站期望在第二小区上传输的用户设备分组X的数据流量或者基站期望用户设备分组X在第二小区上激活的时间长度，第二小区的信号质量，相关国家法规对可共享使用的载波的占用规定等因素中的一个或多个确定。对于步骤210中由UE自行执行分组且UE执行完分组后选择了一个分组代表UE(UE-Y)的情况(方法3)，则信道占用时长由UE-Y根据步骤220中分组代表UE(UE-Y)接收到的基站期望在所述第二小区上传输的所述分组代表UE(UE-Y)所在分组(X)的数据流量或者基站期望所述分组代表UE(UE-Y)所在分组(X)在第二小区上激活的时间长度，第二小区的信号质量，相关国家法规对可共享使用的载波的占用规定等因素中的一个或多个确定。对于步骤210中由UE自行执行分组且UE执行完分组后并未选择一个分组代表UE的情况(方法3)，所述UE-Y可以为用户设备分组X中的任一UE，则信道占用时长由UE-Y根据步骤220中分组X中UE接收到的基站期望UE在所述第二小区上传输的数据流量的信息或者基站期望UE在所述第二小区上激活的时间长度(UE-Y利用设备间通信技术获取所述UE接收到的基站期望UE在所述第二小区上传输的数据流量的信息 或者基站期望UE在所述第二小区上激活的时间长度的信息)，第二小区的信号质量，相关国家法规对可共享使用的载波的占用规定等因素中的一个或多个确定。
UE-Y在第二载波C上发送WLAN制式的信道占用信令，是指信道占用信令的发送采用WLAN支持的调制，编码等技术，符合WLAN协议标准定义的方式发送，这里尤其指WLAN 802.11协议中定义的自我信道清空信令(CTS-to-self)。CTS-to-self信令中将接收端地址设置成UE-Y内WLAN模块的地址，CTS-to-self信令还包括信道占用时长，设置该信道占用时长等于LTE制式的信道占用请求中的信道占用时长。
UE-Y内的LTE模块和WLAN模块都需要在第二载波C上发送信道占用请求/信令，为避免两者之间的干扰，LTE模块和WLAN模块在发送各自的信道占用请求/信令时，可以采用时分复用的方式发送，比如LTE模块发送LTE制式的信道占用请求之后，WLAN模块再发送WLAN制式的信道占用信令，反之也可以。
所述UE-Y邻近的非所述UE-Y所在用户设备分组X内的WLAN设备接收到所述UE-Y发送的WLAN制式的信道占用信令后，在所述信道占用信令指示的信道占用时长内不在所述第二载波C上发起数据传输；所述UE-Y邻近的其他LTE基站和邻近的其他用户设备分组内的UE在接收到所述UE-Y发送的LTE制式的信道占用请求后，在所述信道占用请求指示的信道占用时长内不在所述第二载波C上发起数据传输。
由此可知，所述第二基站在接收到其他使用所述第二载波的基站下的UE分组的主UE发送的LTE制式的信道占用请求后，在所述信道占用请求指示的信道占用时长内不在所述第二载波上发起数据传输。
步骤250、UE接收基站在第二载波C上发送LTE制式的信道占用响应；
本步骤为可选步骤，基站接收到UE-Y发送的LTE制式的信道占用请求后，可以发送一个信道占用响应，该信道占用响应可以在专门的用发送/接收信道占用信令的公共信道上发送，信道占用响应中包含第二小区的小区标识、用户设备分组X的信息和信道占用时长，其中用户设备分组X的信息包括，当步骤240中UE-Y为用户设备分组X的分组代表，基站接收到的UE-Y 发送的LTE制式的信道占用请求中包含的用户设备分组X的信息为分组标识或分组代表UE-Y的标识信息的情况，则基站发送的所述用户设备分组X的信息即为基站接收到的UE-Y发送的LTE制式的信道占用请求中包含的用户设备分组X的信息(分组标识或分组代表UE的标识信息)，或者当步骤240中UE-Y为用户设备分组X中的任一UE，基站接收到的UE-Y发送的LTE制式的信道占用请求中包含的用户设备分组X的信息为用户设备分组X中所有UE的标识信息的情况，则基站发送的所述用户设备分组X的信息是所述接收到的所有UE的标识信息中的任一个UE的标识信息。信道占用时长为基站接收到的信道占用请求中的信道占用时长减去信道占用请求在空中接口中的传输时间、基站接收并处理该信道占用请求的时间、以及基站发送信道占用响应的信令处理时间和信道占用响应在空中接口的传输时间。其中，信道占用请求在空中接口的传输时间和信道占用响应在空中接口的传输时间，可以根据信道占用请求以何种通信制式(比如LTE制式)在空中接口传输，以及使用该通信制式在空中接口传输时在特定的空中接口信号质量下的平均传输次数等因素确定，不同的通信制式由于技术本身的差异，在空中接口发送一次数据的时间是不同的。UE接收和处理该信道占用请求的时间，由通信标准协议根据一定时期UE内各种芯片和处理器的技术指标规定其接收和处理的最长时间。UE发送信道占用响应的信令处理时间，由通信标准协议综合考虑一定时期UE内每种芯片和处理器的技术指标，发送该信道占用响应使用的通信制式对信令的处理方式等因此规定信令处理的最长时间。基站可以在步骤240所述的专门用于发送信道占用信令的公共信道上发送所述信道占用响应，基站下的UE在所述公共信道上接收所述信道占用响应。
基站接收到UE-Y发送的LTE制式的信道占用请求后，根据信道占用请求中包含的用户设备分组X的信息，激活用户设备分组X中UE的所述第二小区，即设置用户设备分组X中UE的所述第二小区为激活状态，基站可以在所述第二小区上调度用户设备分组X中的UE，向所述UE发送下行数据或接收所述UE发送的上行数据，以及在第二小区上向所述UE发送一些控制信令。可选的，若信道占用请求中包含的用户设备分组X的信息为UE-Y的标识信息或者用户设备分组X的分组标识，基站根据UE-Y的标识信息或者用户设备分组X的分组标识确定用户设备分组X，激活用户设备分组X中UE 的所述第二小区；若信道占用请求中包含的用户设备分组X的信息为用户设备分组X中所有UE的标识信息，则基站直接激活这些UE的第二小区。
所述基站的邻近基站接收到所述基站发送的信道占用响应后，在所述信道占用响应中指示的信道占用时长内不在所述第二小区使用的第二载波上发起与所述邻近基站下的UE通信。
需要说明的是，若第一小区和第二小区分别由第一基站和第二基站控制时，则本实施步骤中所述基站为第二基站。
步骤260、用户设备分组X中的UE激活所述第二小区；
根据实施情况，若步骤250不执行，则对于UE-Y，UE-Y在发送完步骤240中的LTE制式的信道占用请求和WLAN制式的CTS-to-self之后，激活第二小区。而对于用户设备分组X中的其他UE，则在接收到UE-Y发送的LTE制式的信道占用请求后，激活第二小区。可选的，用户设备分组X中的除UE-Y之外的其他UE根据接收到的信道占用请求中的用户设备分组X的信息，确定是自己所在分组的UE发送的信道占用的请求，可以占用第二载波C，因此激活自己的第二小区，其中若信道占用请求中的用户设备分组X的信息为基站选择的分组代表UE-Y的标识的情况，此时在步骤210中，基站在通知分组内每个UE其所述分组的分组标识时还需要将分组代表UE的标识通知给所述每个UE。这些UE激活第二小区后，在信道占用请求中的信道占用时长结束后去激活所述第二小区。
若执行步骤250，则用户设备分组X中的UE在接收到基站在第二载波C上发送的信道占用响应后激活第二小区。可选的，用户设备分组X中的UE根据接收到的信道占用响应中的用户设备分组X的信息，确定是自己所在分组可以占用第二载波C，因此激活自己的第二小区。用户设备分组X中的UE可以开始在所述第二小区上监听来自基站的调度，根据基站的调度发送上行数据或接收下行数据，以及可以在第二小区上发送一些控制信令。这些UE激活第二小区后，在信道占用响应中的信道占用时长结束后去激活所述第二小区。需要说明的是，若第一小区和第二小区分别由第一基站和第二基站控制时，这里的基站是指第二基站。
通过本发明实施例提出的上述共享频率使用方法，通过将用户设备UE 分组，仅让分组中的一个UE(分组代表UE或者分组中的任一UE)检测第二小区(第二载波)是否可用并发起占用第二载波的请求，且UE内部既有WLAN模块又有LTE模块，由LTE模块和WLAN模块一起协作完成第二小区是否可用的检测和发起占用第二载波的情况，可以实现同一运营商或者不同运营商运营的使用相同的或者不同的无线通信技术的设备之间高效共享使用可共享使用的频率，还可以有效减少让所有UE均参与第二小区可用性检测并发起占用第二载波请求所导致的信令开销，竞争冲突和UE功耗。

本发明实施例里所提出的上述用户设备和基站设备的每个功能模块，具体实现时可以是包括处理器、存储器以及运行在处理器上的程序等硬件和软件的结合。
下面以图1所示网络拓扑示意图中的部分区域，即eNB1，eNB2，AP2覆盖的区域及其覆盖区域内的一些UE为例(图5)，结合图5所示场景下的实施流程图，对本发明实施例提出的共享频率使用方法的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。
同上文对图1的描述，图5中，eNB1，eNB2和AP1可以互相监听到，eNB1在F1上配置了小区cell1，在F2上配置了小区cell2，eNB2在F3上配置了小区cell3，在F2上配置了小区cell4。以下实施例中UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12驻留在cell3上，并且在cell3上与eNB2之间建立了RRC连接，而UE9～UE11则驻留在cell1上，并且在cell1上与eNB1之间建立了RRC连接。
实施例一
以图5所示区域内基站eNB2与UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8使用共享频率F2为例，图6给出了本申请提出的共享频率使用方法的实施例一的流程图，本实施例中由eNB2实施对UE的分组，包括：
本实施例中，使用共享频率F2之前，UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12在cell3上已经与eNB2建立了RRC连接，UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12在与cell3建立的无线接入链路上与eNB2通信，同样的，UE9/UE10/UE11在cell1上与eNB1建立了RRC连接，UE9/UE10/UE11在与cell1建立的无线接入链路上与eNB1 通信。即如图6中所示的步骤600。
步骤610、eNB2为UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12配置第二小区cell4。
eNB2根据业务需要和cell3的负荷，比如eNB2预期一段时间后UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12的业务流量增加，而当前cell3的负荷已经很高，不足以满足UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12新增加的业务需求，eNB2为UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12配置第二小区cell4，cell4使用频率F2，F2为可共享使用的频率。
eNB2为UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12配置了cell4之后，设置cell4为非激活状态，除了eNB2在需要时在F2上向UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12发送信道占用信令，基站不在cell4上调度UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12。UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12接收了cell4的配置信息后，配置cell4，但是不激活cell4，UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12除了有需要时在F2上向eNB2发送信道占用信令，UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12在cell4上不监听来自eNB2的调度。
步骤620、eNB2将UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12分组，其中UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8被分在了一个分组中(分组1)，UE12独立分成另一个分组(分组2)，eNB2选择UE5作为分组1的分组代表UE，eNB2为分组1分配了一个分组标识G-ID1，eNB2为分组2分配了一个分组标识G-ID2。
可选的，基站根据UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12在cell3上上报的测量信息或者定位信息，比如GPS定位信息，确定它们的位置，将位置邻近的UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8分在一个组中。或者，基站根据在cell3上接收到的UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12的信号计算它们的TA，将TA值差相近的UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8分在一个分组中。
步骤630、eNB2在cell3上通知UE5其所述分组的分组标识为G-ID1，UE5为其所述分组的分组代表UE。
步骤640、eNB2在cell3上分别通知UE6/UE7/UE8其所述分组的分组标识为G-ID1，通知UE12其所述分组的分组标识为G-ID2，UE12为所述分组的分组代表UE。
需要说明的，以上步骤中，步骤610和620的实施顺序不受图示限制， 即步骤620也可以在步骤610之前实施。此外，在步骤630中，eNB2在通知UE5其所述分组的分组标识以及通知UE5为其所属分组的分组代表UE之外，eNB2还可以通知UE5基站预期在cell4上传输的分组1上UE的数据流量总和。eNB2分别通知UE6/UE7/UE8的还可以是其所述分组的分组代表UE的UE标识。
相应的，对于eNB1，eNB1也可以实施上述类似步骤610～630，即eNB1为UE9～UE11配置第二小区cell2，eNB1将UE9～UE11分组，分在同一个分组中，并且为其分配分组标识，并将分组结果通知给UE9～UE11，其中UE9为所述分组的分组代表UE。
步骤650、分组代表UE5测量判断cell4可用。
分组代表UE5，UE12测量判断cell4是否可用，包括：UE5，UE12内的LTE模块执行测量，比如测量cell4的CRS，判断cell4的信号质量或信号强度是否超过预设值，且LTE模块判断是否有收到其他分组中的UE发送的信道占用请求，且信道占用请求中的信道占用时长依然有效。本实施例中，假设UE5测量判断cell4的信号质量超过预设值且UE5没有收到其他分组中的UE发送的信道占用请求(本实施例中UE5和UE12接收不到对方的信号，且UE5先检测到cell4可用并发起信道占用过程，UE9～UE11未发送信道占用请求)，因此判断cell4可用。UE5，UE12内的WLAN模块执行对F2的空闲信道评估，如果判断F2空闲，则cell4可用，如果判断F2不空闲，cell4不可用，本实施例假设WLAN模块判断cell4可用。如果UE5，UE12判断cell4不可用，则UE5，UE12继续检测，或者UE5，UE12按照预设算法在一段时间T之后继续检测cell4是否可用。
步骤660、UE5在cell4所在的频率F2上发送LTE制式的信道占用请求和WLAN制式的信道占用请求(CTS-to-self)。
UE5在F2上专门用于发送信道占用信令的公共信道上发送信道占用请求，信道占用请求可以以物理层信令方式或者媒体接入层信令方式或者更高协议层次的无线资源管理层信令方式发送，信道占用请求包含分组1的分组标识G-ID1和信道占用时长，也可以是UE5的UE标识和信道占用时长。UE5在F2上先发送LTE制式的信道占用请求，然后再发送CTS-to-self，UE5 设置CTS-to-self中的信道占用时长等于LTE制式的信道占用请求中的信道占用时长。
可以接收到UE5信号的AP2和UE9接收到UE5发送的CTS-to-self后，在CTS-to-self中指示的信道占用时长内不在F2上发起数据传输。可以接收到UE5信号的eNB1在接收到UE5发送的LTE制式的信道占用请求后，在信道占用请求中指示的信道占用时长内不在F2上发起数据传输。
步骤670、eNB2在F2上发送LTE制式的信道占用响应；
eNB接收到UE5发送的信道占用请求后，在F2上发送LTE制式的信道占用响应。信道占用响应中包含第二小区的小区标识、G-ID1或者UE5的标识信息和信道占用时长。
步骤680、eNB2本地激活UE5所在分组1中所有UE(UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8)的第二小区cell4，eNB2可以在cell4上调度UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8，与UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8通信。
需要说明的是，步骤670和步骤680的实施顺序不受图示限制，即步骤680可以在步骤670之前实施。
eNB2接收到UE5发送的LTE制式的信道占用请求后，根据信道占用请求中包含的G-ID1或者UE5的标识信息，判断是分组1发起的信道占用请求，因此激活分组1中所有UE(UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8)的第二小区。
步骤690、UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8收到eNB2发送的信道占用响应后，根据信道占用响应中包含的G-ID1或者分组代表UE5的标识信息，判断其可以使用F2，因此本地激活各自的第二小区cell4，监听来自cell4的调度。
实施例二
以图5所示区域内基站eNB2与UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8使用共享频率F2为例，图7给出了本申请提出的共享频率使用方法的实施例二的流程图，本实施例中由UE自行实施分组，包括：
本实施例中，使用共享频率F2之前，UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12在cell3上已经与eNB2建立了RRC连接，UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12在与cell3建立的 无线接入链路上与eNB2通信，同样的，UE9/UE10/UE11在cell1上与eNB1建立了RRC连接，UE9/UE10/UE11在与cell1建立的无线接入链路上与eNB1通信。即如图7中所示的步骤700。
步骤710、eNB2为UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12配置第二小区cell4。
步骤720、UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12实施分组，其中UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8分成了一个分组(分组1)，UE12独立分成了另一个分组(分组2)，UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8将UE5选择作为分组1的分组代表UE。
本实施例中，UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12利用D2D通信，自行实施分组，比如UE5实施对周围用户设备发射信号的监听，UE5可以监听到UE6/UE7UE8，因此将UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8分成一个分组。并且，UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8通过相互之间的D2D通信，获取相互之间的UE标识，选择其中的UE5作为分组代表UE。
步骤730、UE5在cell3上通知eNB2其所在分组中每个UE(UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8)的UE标识。
步骤740、UE12在cell3上通知eNB2其所在分组中个UE(UE12)的分组标识。
步骤750～步骤790的实施同实施例一步骤650～步骤690。其中步骤760中，UE5在cell4所在频率F2上发送的LTE制式的信道占用请求中包含的是UE的标识信息和信道占用时长。步骤790中，UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8收到eNB2发送的信道占用响应后，根据信道占用响应中包含的分组代表UE5的标识信息，判断其可以使用F2，因此本地激活各自的第二小区cell4，监听来自cell4的调度。

步骤810、eNB2为UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12配置第二小区cell4。
步骤820、UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12实施分组，其中UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8分成了一个分组(分组1)，UE12独立分成了另一个分组(分组2)，UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8选择又UE5检测cell4是否可用以及发起信道占用请求。
本实施例中，UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8/UE12利用D2D通信，自行实施分组，比如UE5实施对周围用户设备发射信号的监听，UE5可以监听到UE6/UE7/UE8，因此将UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8分成一个分组。并且，UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8通过相互之间的D2D通信，获取相互之间的UE标识，选择其中的UE5实施检测cell4是否可用以及发起信道占用请求。
步骤830～步骤870，分别同实施例一步骤650～步骤690，其中步骤840中，UE5在cell4所在频率F2上发送的LTE制式的信道占用请求中包含的是分组1内所有UE(UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8)的标识信息和信道占用时长。步骤850中，eNB2收到UE5发送的LTE制式的信道占用请求后，发送信道占用响应，所述信道占用响应中包含二小区的小区标识、UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8中任一UE的标识信息和信道占用时长。步骤860中，eNB2在收到UE5发送的LTE制式的信道占用请求后，根据信道占用请求中包含的UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8的标识信息，激活UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8的第二小区cell4。步骤870中，UE5/UE6/UE7/UE8收到eNB2发送的信道占用响应后，根据信道占用响应中包含的用户设备的标识信息，判断是本分组可以占用F2，因此激活各自的第二小区F4。
