Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système de communication sans fil, et en particulier un procédé et un appareil associés, le procédé comprenant : une étape de réception répétée d'un signal de synchronisation de liaison descendante ; une étape de détection du signal de synchronisation de liaison descendante ; et une étape de détection d'un mode duplex dans un domaine temporel sur la base de l'intervalle de répétition du signal de synchronisation de liaison descendante, l'intervalle de répétition étant N1 lorsque le mode duplex est FDD, l'intervalle de répétition étant N2 lorsque le mode duplex est TDD, et N1 étant inférieur à N2.
