Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for transmitting Long Term Evolution in unlicensed spectrum LTE-U carrier information, a base station, and user equipment. The method includes: determining, by a base station, a physical hybrid automatic repeat request indicator channel PHICH resource; using, by the base station, the PHICH resource to indicate the LTE-U carrier information; and sending, by the base station to user equipment, the PHICH resource that indicates the LTE-U carrier information. In the embodiments of the present invention, network signaling overheads can be reduced.
Claims21
A method for transmitting Long Term Evolution in unlicensed spectrum (LTE-U) carrier information, comprising:
- determining, by a base station, a physical hybrid automatic repeat request indicator channel (PHICH) resource;
- using, by the base station, the PHICH resource to indicate the LTE-U carrier information;
- and
- sending, by the base station to a user equipment, the PHICH resource that indicates the LTE-U carrier information.
7-16. (canceled)
A base station, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon;
- and
- a computer processor coupled to the non-transitory computer readable medium and configured to execute the instructions to:
- determine a physical hybrid automatic repeat request indicator channel (PHICH) resource;
- use the PHICH resource to indicate Long Term Evolution in unlicensed spectrum (LTE-U) carrier information;
- and
- send to a user equipment the PHICH resource that indicates the LTE-U carrier information.
A user equipment, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon;
- and
- a computer processor coupled to the non-transitory computer readable medium and configured to execute the instructions to:
- determine a physical hybrid automatic repeat request indicator channel (PHICH) resource, wherein the PHICH resource is used to indicate Long Term Evolution in unlicensed spectrum (LTE-U) carrier information;
- and
- obtain the LTE-U carrier information from the PHICH resource.
