US 2018/0026837 A1 · DATA TRANSMISSION METHOD AND APPARATUS

Abstract

Embodiments of the present application disclose a data transmission method, comprising: separately establishing, by a node, a connection to a macro base station and a small cell, where the node, the macro base station, and the small cell are located in a same access network, and the connection is an X2 connection or a user-defined logical connection; and scheduling, by the node, coordinated data, where the coordinated data is data cooperatively transmitted by the macro base station and the small cell for user equipment. In the present application, the node is additionally deployed in the access network, and the node schedules coordinated data in a macro-micro coordination process, therefore the delay of transmission between the macro base station and the small cell is shortened, and the macro-micro coordination performance is improved.

Dependent claims

A data transmission method, wherein the method comprises:

separately establishing, by a node, a connection to a macro base station and a small cell, wherein the node, the macro base station, and the small cell are located in a same access network, and the connection is an X2 connection or a user-defined logical connection;
and
scheduling, by the node, coordinated data, wherein the coordinated data is data cooperatively transmitted by the macro base station and the small cell for user equipment.

A data transmission apparatus set in a node, wherein the apparatus comprises:

a processor and a memory, where the memory is configured to store one or more instructions, and the instruction is configured to be executed by the processor;
the processor is configured to separately establish a connection to a macro base station and a small cell, wherein the node, the macro base station, and the small cell are located in a same access network, and the connection is an X2 connection or a user-defined logical connection;
and
the processor is further configured to schedule coordinated data, wherein the coordinated data is data cooperatively transmitted by the macro base station and the small cell for user equipment.

1 more element

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor of a node, cause the node to:

separately establish a connection to a macro base station and a small cell, wherein the node, the macro base station, and the small cell are located in a same access network, and the connection is an X2 connection or a user-defined logical connection;
and
schedule coordinated data, wherein the coordinated data is data cooperatively transmitted by the macro base station and the small cell for user equipment.
