Method and apparatus for indicating uplink-downlink carrier frequency spacing, and method and apparatus for obtaining uplink-downlink carrier frequency spacing

An apparatus for obtaining an uplink-downlink carrier frequency spacing, wherein the apparatus is applied to an Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) system, and comprises:

• a transceiver, configured to:
• initiate a request in a first cell to access an NB-IoT, and receive an indication message sent by a base station, wherein the indication message is used to indicate an uplink-downlink carrier frequency spacing corresponding to the first cell;
• and
• a processor, configured to determine, according to the indication information, the uplink-downlink carrier frequency spacing corresponding to the first cell, wherein
• when the processor determines that the indication information carries an uplink-downlink basic carrier frequency spacing corresponding to a frequency band used by the first cell, an index number corresponding to a first carrier frequency deviation in a first carrier frequency deviation set, and a difference between index numbers of uplink and downlink physical resource blocks used by the first cell, the processor further configured to determine the first carrier frequency deviation according to the index number corresponding to the first carrier frequency deviation in the first carrier frequency deviation set.

A computer program product comprising non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to carry out operations that perform a method for obtaining an uplink-downlink carrier frequency spacing, wherein the method is applied to an Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) system, the operations comprising:

• initiating a request in a first cell to access an NB-IoT, and receiving an indication message sent by a base station, wherein the indication message is used to indicate an uplink-downlink carrier frequency spacing corresponding to the first cell;
• and
• determining, according to the indication information, the uplink-downlink carrier frequency spacing corresponding to the first cell, wherein
• in response to a that the indication information carries an uplink-downlink basic carrier frequency spacing corresponding to a frequency band used by the first cell, an index number corresponding to a first carrier frequency deviation in a first carrier frequency deviation set, and a difference between index numbers of uplink and downlink physical resource blocks used by the first cell, determining the first carrier frequency deviation according to the index number corresponding to the first carrier frequency deviation in the first carrier frequency deviation set.
