Abstract

La présente divulgation vise à réaliser une communication en duplex intégral dans une bande sans licence dans un système de communication sans fil, et un procédé de fonctionnement d'une station de base peut comprendre les étapes consistant à : transmettre des informations de système comprenant des informations relatives à une bande de communication; transmettre des informations de configuration relatives à la classification d'une ressource de liaison montante et d'une ressource de liaison descendante à l'intérieur de la bande de communication; sur la base des informations de système et/ou des informations de configuration, réaliser une première procédure d'accès au canal (CAP) pour un premier canal et un second canal inclus dans la bande de communication; transmettre un signal dans le premier canal sur la base de la réussite de la première CAP dans le premier canal; et réaliser une seconde CAP sur le second canal tout en transmettant le signal dans le premier canal.
