Abstract
The present invention discloses a communication method, including: sending, by a user equipment, a request message to a micro network node, so that the micro network node sends an indication message to a macro network node; receiving an uplink resource (UG) sent according to the indication message by the macro network node; and sending uplink signaling or uplink data to the macro network node according to the uplink resource (UG). Embodiments of the present invention further provide a corresponding device and system. In technical solutions of the present invention, the micro network node participates in accessing the user equipment to a network, so that a UE can rapidly access the network, which reduces an access delay of the UE.

- sending uplink signaling or uplink data to a micro network node and/or the macro network node according to the configuration information:
- receiving downlink signaling or downlink data sent by the macro network node and downlink signaling or downlink data sent by the micro network node;
- and
- deleting duplicate signaling or data in the downlink signaling or downlink data sent by the macro network node and in the downlink signaling or downlink data sent by the micro network node.
A user equipment, comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, wherein the non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprises a program stored therein, and when the program runs, the user equipment is configured to:
- receive configuration information sent by a macro network node;
- send uplink signaling or uplink data to a micro network node and/or the macro network node according to the configuration information;
- receive downlink signaling or downlink data sent by the macro network node and downlink signaling or downlink data sent by the micro network node;
- and
- delete duplicate signaling or data in the downlink signaling or downlink data sent by the macro network node and in the downlink signaling or downlink data sent by the micro network node.
A macro network node device, comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, wherein the non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprises a program stored therein, and when the program runs, the macro network node device is configured to:
