US 2018/0295020 A1 · CONFIGURATION METHOD AND APPARATUS

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus, and relate to the field of communications technologies. The method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure is applied to a full-duplex system, and includes: dividing, by a base station, user equipments in a first cell into N user groups, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2; and configuring, by the base station for user equipment in each of the N user groups, an uplink frequency band used for uplink transmission and a downlink frequency band used for downlink receiving, where the uplink frequency band is different from the downlink frequency band in a same user group, and the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band are frequency sub-bands of an operating frequency band of the full-duplex system. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, interference between user equipments is reduced.

Dependent claims

A configuration method, comprising:

dividing, by a base station in a full-duplex system, user equipments in a first cell into N user groups, wherein N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, interference exists between user equipments within a first user group of the N user groups, and existence of the interference indicates that when a user equipment in the first user group performs uplink transmission, downlink receiving performed by another user equipment in the first user group in a co-time and co-frequency manner is interfered;
and
configuring, by the base station for the first user group, an uplink frequency band used for uplink transmission and a downlink frequency band used for downlink receiving, wherein within the first group, the uplink frequency band is different from the downlink frequency band, and the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band are frequency sub-bands of an operating frequency band of the full-duplex system.

A configuration apparatus, comprising:

a processor;
and,
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the processor, the programming instructions when executed instruct the processor to:
divide user equipments in a full-duplex system in a first cell into N user groups, wherein N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, interference exists between user equipments within a first user group of the N user groups, and existence of the interference indicates that when a user equipment in the first user group performs uplink transmission, downlink receiving performed by another user equipment in the first user group in a co-time and co-frequency manner is interfered;
and
configure, for the first user group, an uplink frequency band used for uplink transmission and a downlink frequency band used for downlink receiving, wherein within the first user group, the uplink frequency band is different from the downlink frequency band, and the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band are frequency sub-bands of an operating frequency band of the full-duplex system.
