In step 303, the N first unit carriers are aggregated into a working carrier.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first message is received, because the N first message units in the first message are used to instruct the UE to activate N first unit carriers, thereby determining the N first unit carriers according to the first message. And the N first unit carriers are aggregated into one working carrier, and the configuration of the working carrier is implemented.

Embodiment 4

The embodiment of the invention provides a method for configuring a working carrier bandwidth, and the method can be applied to the network architecture provided in the first embodiment. Referring to Figure 4, the method includes:

In step 401, the base station sends a second message to the UE, where the second message carries the mapping relationship information between the unit carrier in the preset unit carrier set and the message unit corresponding to the unit carrier.

The preset unit carrier set includes M unit carriers, and M is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The unit carrier is a basic unit defined by the 5G communication system for aggregation into a working carrier. The 5G communication system usually defines 14 unit carriers, that is, the value of M may be 14 and the bandwidth of the unit carrier is equal to or equal to 80 Mhz.

When the base station configures the working carrier for the UE, the base station selects a unit carrier included in the working carrier from the preset unit carrier set, and then notifies the selected unit carrier to the UE by using the first message. The first message includes S message units, S is an integer greater than or equal to M, and S may be 16, and the base station may define, in advance, each unit carrier in the preset unit carrier set corresponding to one of the S message units. Message units.

Each message unit in the first message includes at least one bit. For example, each message unit may include one bit or include two bits, etc. See the first message structure shown in Table 1. The first message includes 16 message units, which are message units R, C1, C2, ..., C15, respectively. In a 5G communication system, a preset unit carrier set usually includes 14 unit carriers, which are unit carriers A1, A2, ..., A14, respectively. The base station can define unit carriers A1, A2, ..., A14, respectively, in one-to-one correspondence with the message units C1, C2, ..., C14 in the first message.

Table 1

R	C1	C2	C3	C4	C5	C6	C7
C8	C9	C10	C11	C12	C13	C14	C15

In this step, the second message may be an RRC message (Radio Resource Control), and the mapping relationship information carried by the second message may be a correspondence between a carrier identifier and a message unit, where the correspondence includes the preset unit carrier. The carrier identifier of each unit carrier in the set is associated with its message unit. For example, assume that the carrier identifiers of the unit carriers A1, A2, ..., A14 are IDA1, IDA2, ..., IDA14, respectively. The second message may carry the correspondence between the carrier identifier and the message unit as shown in Table 2.

Table 2

Carrier identification	Message unit
IDA1	C1
IDA2	C2
IDA3	C3
IDA4	C4
IDA5	C5
IDA6	C6
IDA7	C7
IDA8	C8
IDA9	C9
IDA10	C10
IDA11	C11

IDA12	C12
IDA13	C13
IDA14	C14

In step 402, the UE receives the second message, and stores mapping relationship information between the unit carrier and the message unit carried by the second message.

For example, it is assumed that the second message carries the correspondence between the carrier identifier and the message unit as shown in Table 2. After receiving the second message, the UE saves the correspondence between the carrier identifier and the message unit as shown in Table 2.

It should be noted that, in this step, when the UE is shipped from the factory, the mapping relationship information between each unit carrier in the preset unit carrier set and its corresponding message unit may be stored in the UE, that is, when the UE is shipped from the factory. The correspondence between the carrier identifier and the message unit as shown in Table 2 can be stored in the UE, so that the base station does not need to send the second message to the UE through the above two steps.

After the base station sends the second message to the UE, the working carrier can be configured for the UE as follows: The detailed process is as follows:

In step 403, the base station configures N first unit carriers for the UE, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to M.

There are various ways for a base station to configure a unit carrier for a UE. In this step, each method will not be described one by one. The following two examples are specifically described, including:

First example: The base station determines the number N of unit carriers configured for the UE, and randomly selects N unit carriers from the M unit carriers included in the preset unit carrier set as the first unit carrier.

The base station can determine the number N of unit carriers based on the amount of data transmitted by the UE for data transmission. For example, assuming that the base station determines that the number of unit carriers N is 6, the unit carriers A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, and A6 are randomly selected from the unit carriers A1, A2, ..., A14 included in the preset unit carrier set as the first unit carrier.

In the second example, the base station determines the number of unit carriers N configured for the UE, and obtains the channel quality of each unit carrier in the preset unit carrier set, and uses the N unit carriers with the highest channel quality as the first unit carrier.

For the second example, the detailed implementation process is: the base station determines the number N of the unit carriers according to the amount of data transmitted by the UE, and sends a measurement request message to the UE; the UE receives the measurement request message, according to the trigger of the measurement request message, The channel quality of each unit carrier in the preset unit carrier set is measured, the channel quality of each unit carrier is obtained, and the channel of each unit carrier is transmitted to the base station. Quality; the base station receives the channel quality of each unit carrier, and selects the N unit carriers with the largest channel quality as the first unit carrier.

In step 404, the base station sends a first message to the UE, where the first message includes N first message units, and each first message unit corresponds to a first unit carrier, and each first message unit is used to indicate that the UE is activated. Its corresponding first unit carrier.

The first message includes S message units. In this step, the base station determines, from the S message units included in the first message, a first message unit corresponding to each first unit carrier of the N first unit carriers, and sets each determined first message unit. And configured to instruct the UE to activate its corresponding first unit carrier, and then send the first message to the UE.

In this embodiment, the unselected unit carrier in the preset unit carrier set is referred to as a second unit carrier, that is, there are M-N second unit carriers.

The base station may further determine, from the S message units included in the first message, a second message unit corresponding to each second unit carrier of the MN second unit carriers, where each second message unit that is determined to be used is used to indicate the UE. The corresponding second unit carrier is deactivated, and then the first message is sent to the UE.

For each first message unit, the value represented by the first message unit may be set to a preset first value, where the preset first value is used to indicate that the UE activates the first unit carrier corresponding to the first message unit. For each second message unit, the value represented by the second message unit may be set to a preset second value, where the preset second value is used to instruct the UE to deactivate the second unit carrier corresponding to the second message unit. .

For example, assuming that each message unit in the first message includes one bit, the preset first value may be 1 and the preset second value may be 0. That is, the base station sets the value represented by the first message unit to a value of 1 for instructing the UE to activate the first unit carrier corresponding to the first message unit; and setting the value represented by the second message unit to the second value of 0, And instructing the UE to deactivate the second unit carrier corresponding to the second message unit.

Next, a detailed example will be described in detail. The operation of this step is described in detail: the selected first unit carrier in the preset unit carrier set includes A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, and A6, and the second unit carrier that is not selected includes A7. , A8, A9, A10, A11, A12, A13, A14. The base station first determines, from the 16 message units included in the first message, as shown in Table 1, the first message units C1, C2, C3, and C4 corresponding to the first unit carriers A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, and A6, respectively. And C5, C6, and second message units C7, C8, C9, C10, C11, C12, C13, C14 corresponding to the second unit carriers A7, A8, A9, A10, A11, A12, A13, and A14, respectively.

Then, referring to the following Table 3, the base station sets the values represented by the first message units C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6 to the preset first value 1 to instruct the UE to activate the first unit carriers A1, A2, and A3. , A4, A5, A6, and the values represented by the second message units C7, C8, C9, C10, C11, C12, C13, C14 are all set to a preset second value 0 to instruct the UE to deactivate the second unit carrier A7, A8, A9, A10, A11, A12, A13, A14. Finally, the base station transmits the first message as shown in Table 3.

table 3

R	1	1	1	1	1	1	0
0	0	0	0	0	0	0	C15

In step 405, the UE receives the first message, and determines N first unit carriers according to the N first message units in the first message.

In this step, the UE may receive the first message, and determine the first unit carrier corresponding to each first message unit according to the mapping relationship information between the saved unit carrier and the message unit and the N first message units.

The mapping relationship information between the unit carrier and the message unit may be a correspondence between the carrier identifier and the message unit. Correspondingly, the foregoing determining the operation of the first unit carrier may be:

And extracting, from the first message, the N first message units whose value is a preset first value, and acquiring, according to the N first message units, the corresponding N pieces from the corresponding relationship between the saved carrier identifier and the message unit. The carrier identifier of the first unit carrier determines N first unit carriers according to the carrier identifier of the N unit carriers.

For example, the UE receives the first message as shown in Table 3, and extracts, from the first message as shown in Table 3, the first message unit whose value is the preset first value 1, which is the first message unit C1. C2, C3, C4, C5, C6; according to the first message unit C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, obtain the corresponding first unit carrier from the correspondence between the carrier identifier and the message unit as shown in Table 2 The carrier identifiers are respectively IDA1, IDA2, IDA3, IDA4, IDA5, and IDA6; and the corresponding first unit carriers A1 and A2 are respectively determined according to the carrier identifiers IDA1, IDA2, IDA3, IDA4, IDA5, and IDA6 of the first unit carrier. , A3, A4, A5, A6.

The first message may be control signaling or physical layer signaling of a MAC (Media Access Control) layer. The physical layer signaling may be a physical downlink control channel.

In step 406, the UE aggregates the N first unit carriers into a working carrier.

This step may be: the UE activates the N first unit carriers, and then activates the N first units. The bit carriers are aggregated into one continuous working carrier.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the base station sends the first message to the UE, because the N first message units in the first message are used to indicate that the UE activates the N first unit carriers, so that the UE determines the N according to the first message. The first unit carrier, and the N first unit carriers are aggregated into one working carrier, and the configuration of the working carrier is implemented. Since the bandwidth of the first unit carrier is greater than or equal to 80 MHz, and thus the bandwidth of the aggregated working carrier is greater than or equal to 80 MHz and less than or equal to 1 GHz, the UE can increase the peak rate of data transmission by using the working carrier.
