Abstract
A method and apparatus for acquiring a Radio Access Technology (RAT) of a serving cell, a method and apparatus for indicating a RAT of a serving cell, and devices are provided. The method for acquiring a RAT of a serving cell includes: receiving RAT indication information from the relay device, wherein the RAT indication information indicates RAT information of the serving cell where the relay device is located; determining, based on the RAT indication information, a RAT type adopted by a base station to which the serving cell belongs; and communicating with the base station using the RAT appropriate to the RAT type adopted by the base station.
Claims15
A method for acquiring a Radio Access Technology (RAT) of a serving cell where a relay device is located, comprising:
- receiving RAT indication information from the relay device, wherein the RAT indication information indicates RAT information of the serving cell where the relay device is located;
- determining, based on the RAT indication information, a RAT type adopted by a base station to which the serving cell belongs;
- and
- communicating with the base station using the RAT appropriate to the RAT type adopted by the base station;
- wherein said determining, based on the RAT indication information, the RAT type adopted by the base station to which the serving cell belongs:
- comparing system information of the base station with various types of preset standard system information to obtain a comparison result, and determining the RAT type of the serving cell based on the comparison result;
- and
- determining the RAT type adopted by the base station based on the RAT type of the serving cell.
A method for indicating a Radio Access Technology (RAT) of a serving cell where a relay device is located, comprising:
- acquiring RAT information of the serving cell where the relay device is located;
- and
- sending RAT indication information which indicates the RAT information of the serving cell, so that a User Equipment (UE) determines, based on the RAT indication information, a RAT type adopted by a base station to which the serving cell belongs, and communicates with the base station using the RAT appropriate to the RAT type adopted by the base station;
- wherein said determining, based on the RAT indication information, the RAT type adopted by the base station to which the serving cell belongs:
- comparing system information of the base station with various types of preset standard system information to obtain a comparison result, and determining the RAT type of the serving cell based on the comparison result;
- and
- determining the RAT type adopted by the base station based on the RAT type of the serving cell.
A non-volatile or non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising computer instructions, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- receive Radio Access Technology (RAT) indication information from a relay device, wherein the RAT indication information indicates RAT information of a serving cell where the relay device is located;
- determine, based on the RAT indication information, a RAT type adopted by a base station to which the serving cell belongs;
- and
- communicate with the base station using the RAT appropriate to the RAT type adopted by the base station;
- wherein said determining, based on the RAT indication information, the RAT type adopted by the base station to which the serving cell belongs:
- comparing system information of the base station with various types of preset standard system information to obtain a comparison result, and determining the RAT type of the serving cell based on the comparison result;
- and
- determining the RAT type adopted by the base station based on the RAT type of the serving cell.
A non-volatile or non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising computer instructions, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- acquiring RAT information of the serving cell where the relay device is located;
- and
- sending RAT indication information which indicates the RAT information of the serving cell, so that a User Equipment (UE) determines, based on the RAT indication information, a RAT type adopted by a base station to which the serving cell belongs, and communicates with the base station using the RAT appropriate to the RAT type adopted by the base station;
- wherein said determining, based on the RAT indication information, the RAT type adopted by the base station to which the serving cell belongs:
- comparing system information of the base station with various types of preset standard system information to obtain a comparison result, and determining the RAT type of the serving cell based on the comparison result;
- and
- determining the RAT type adopted by the base station based on the RAT type of the serving cell.
