Self-Contained Subframe Configuration Method and Apparatus

A self-contained subframe configuration apparatus comprising a processor and a memory storing operation instructions executable by the processor to cause the self-contained subframe configuration apparatus to:

• obtain, based on a first self-contained subframe that is configured on a neighboring frequency band by using a reference transmission type numerology, configuration information of a second self-contained subframe that is configured on a current frequency band by using a current numerology, wherein the first self-contained subframe comprises a first downlink control (DLcontrol) field, a first transmission subframe, a first guard period (GP), and a first uplink control (ULcontrol) field, wherein the second self-contained subframe comprises a second transmission subframe, a third transmission subframe, a second GP, and a second ULcontrol field, wherein a DLcontrol command of the second self-contained subframe is determined based on the first DLcontrol field, wherein the second transmission subframe or the third transmission subframe of the second self-contained subframe is transmitted in one of the first guard period of the neighboring frequency band or a same subframe transmission direction used during subframe transmission on the neighboring frequency band, wherein a subframe transmission direction of the second transmission subframe is the same as a subframe transmission direction of the third transmission subframe, a length of the second transmission subframe is less than or equal to a length of the third transmission subframe, the first GP is set in an interval, in the first self-contained subframe, in which an uplink or downlink transmission direction changes, and the second GP is set in an interval, in the second self-contained subframe, in which an uplink or downlink transmission direction changes;
• and
• process, based on the configuration information of the second self-contained subframe, data carried in the second self-contained subframe.
