Abstract
Communication transmission methods and systems are provided. Firstly, a base station is configured to set an indicator for determining whether a first wireless communication technology and a second communication technology are allowed simultaneously for transmissions by the base station. Then, a user equipment, is configured to receive a voice call by a user equipment from the base station and determine whether to answer the voice call using the first wireless communication technology or the second communication technology, when the first wireless communication technology and the second communication technology are not allowed simultaneously shown by the indicator.
Claims14
A communication transmission method, comprising:
- setting an indicator, by a base station, specifying whether a first wireless communication technology and a second wireless communication technology are allowed simultaneously for transmissions by the base station, wherein the first wireless communication technology and the second wireless communication technology are allowed simultaneously for transmissions means a user equipment may handle and/or process service request, transmission, or signaling, acquisition and any other communication status from the first wireless communication technology and the second wireless communication technology at the same time;
- communicating the indicator from the base station to the user equipment;
- receiving a voice call by the user equipment from the base station;
- and
- determining, by the user equipment, whether to answer the voice call using the first wireless communication technology or the second wireless communication technology, when the first wireless communication technology and the second wireless communication technology are not allowed simultaneously, as shown by the indicator;
- in response to the voice call being received by a user equipment, and when the indicator specifies that first wireless communication technology and the second wireless communication technology are not simultaneously allowed for transmissions by the base station, suspending a data transmission transmitted via the second wireless communication technology, by the base station.
A communication transmission system, comprising:
- a base station, configured to set an indicator specifying whether a first wireless communication technology and a second wireless communication technology are allowed simultaneously for transmissions by the base station;
- and
- a user equipment, configured to receive a voice call by a user equipment from the base station and determine whether to answer the voice call using the first wireless communication technology or the second wireless communication technology, when the first wireless communication technology and the second communication technology are not allowed simultaneously shown by the indicator,
- wherein the first wireless communication technology and the second wireless communication technology are allowed simultaneously for transmissions means that the user equipment may handle and/or process service request, transmission, or signaling, acquisition and any other communication status from the first wireless communication technology and the second wireless communication technology at the same time;
- in response to the user equipment receiving the voice call, and when the indicator specifies that first wireless communication technology and the second wireless communication technology are not simultaneously allowed for transmissions by the base station, the base station suspends a data transmission.
