下面结合附图对本申请所提供的时隙结构的配置方法及其装置进行详细地介绍。
请参见图2，图2是本申请实施例提供的一种时隙结构的配置方法的流程示意图。如图2所示，该方法由终端设备执行，可以包括但不限于如下步骤：
步骤S201：在终端设备支持同时上下行传输时，向网络设备发送用于配置终端设备的上下行时隙结构的参考频率间隔。
终端设备通过物理上行信道与网络设备传输上行信息或数据，通过物理下行信道与网 络设备传输下行信息或数据。为了支持更高的传输频率，终端设备引入了同时支持上下行传输的能力，也就是说，终端设备可以支持同时上下行传输。
为避免一个频带中的上行信息发射影响另一个频带中的下行信息接收，提高频谱效率，在终端设备支持同时上下行传输时，还需向网络设备发送频率间隔信息，以便于网络设备根据收到的频率间隔信息配置终端设备的上下行时隙结构，以便于两个频带按照配置的上下行时隙结构上进行数据/或信息的传输，尽可能地降低两个频段之间的影响。

S602，根据参考频率间隔，为终端设备从候选载波中选取分量载波进行载波聚合，并为分量载波配置上下行时隙结构。
根据参考频率间隔，为终端设备从候选载波中选取多个分量载波，将多个连续或非连续的分量载波进行载波聚合，以聚合成更大的band。各个分量载波有各自独立的传输信道，为分量载波配置上下行时隙结构，确定slot类中的正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing，OFDM)符号传输的信息类型，也就是说，配置好用于传输上行信息的OFDM符号，以及用于传输下行信息的OFDM符号。
可选地，响应于当前系统为LTE系统，则为分量载波配置静态的上下行时隙结构，响 应于当前系统为NR系统，为则为分量载波配置动态的上下行时隙结构。
在一些实现中，获取候选载波与主载波之间的频率间隔作为候选频率间隔，响应于候选载波中存在候选频率间隔大于参考频率间隔的目标候选载波，也就是说，候选频率间隔满足使用需求，为了提高频谱效率，从目标候选载波中选取分量载波，并为分量载波配置不同的上下行时隙结构；如图6(a)所示，例如，单个时隙中具有14个OFDM符号，分量载波1配置标识为4、7、10的OFDM符号传输上行信息，其余OFDM符号传输下行信息，分量载波2配置标识为1、5、9的OFDM符号传输上行信息，其余OFDM符号传输下行信息，此时，上行信息发射与下行信息的接收可能同时进行，由于频带间隔较大，因此，上行信息的发射不会影响到下行信息的接收。
在一些实现中，获取候选载波与主载波之间的频率间隔作为候选频率间隔，响应于候选载波中未存在目标候选载波，则需要对上下行时隙结构进行约束，也就是说，按照候选载波对应信道的信道质量选取分量载波，如图6(b)所示，例如，可以按照信道质量对候选载波进行排序，可选地，可以选取预设范围内的信道质量对应的候选载波作为分量载波，可选地，还可以选取信道质量较好的候选载波作为分量载波，进而为分量载波配置相同的上下行时隙结构；例如，将分量载波1、分量载波2各自配置标识为4、7、10的OFDM符号传输上行信息，其余OFDM符号传输下行信息，此时，由于时隙结构相同，帧结构也相同，可以同时进行上行信息的发射或同时进行下行信息的接收，因此，上行信息的发射不会影响到下行信息的接收。

业务量是指通信系统或通信网络中传输的所有信息的数据量，业务量较大时可能会导致传输信道拥塞，严重时可能会导致系统瘫痪，因此本申请实施例还需参考终端设备的业务量大小，以配置上下行时隙结构。
S703，根据参考频率间隔和业务量，为终端设备配置上下行时隙结构。
确定终端设备的候选载波与主载波之间的候选频率间隔，在一些实现中，响应于业务量大于设定阈值，也就是说，终端设备需要传输的业务量较大，为提高传输效率，需要从候选载波中选取候选频率间隔大于参考频率间隔的目标候选载波作为分量载波，并为分量载波配置不同的上下行时隙结构。
在一些实现中，响应于候选载波中未存在目标候选载波，也就是说，候选频率间隔不大于参考频率间隔，则按照候选载波对应信道的信道质量选取分量载波，例如，可以按照信道质量对候选载波进行排序，可选地，可以选取预设范围内的信道质量对应的候选载波作为分量载波，可选地，还可以选取信道质量较好的候选载波作为分量载波。
在一些实现中，响应于业务量小于设定阈值，也就是说，终端设备需要传输的数据量较小，则按照候选载波对应信道的信道质量选取分量载波，并为分量载波配置相同的上下行时隙结构。
在一些实现中，响应于候选载波中未存在目标候选载波且业务量小于设定阈值，按照候选载波对应信道的信道质量选取分量载波，并为分量载波配置相同的上下行时隙结构。
本申请实施例中，根据参考频率间隔，为终端设备从候选载波中选取分量载波进行载波聚合，并为分量载波配置上下行时隙结构。使用载波聚合(Carrier aggrega，CA)可以增加传输带宽，从而提高传输比特速率，提高频谱效率，避免资源浪费，有利于保证上下行信息传输的准确性。
