Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for downlink and uplink compression of a nonstandard bandwidth of an LTE system. Abase station filters a baseband signal by using a filter whose bandwidth is a nonstandard bandwidth of LTE, and filters out a signal outside the nonstandard bandwidth of LTE; and the base station may send a signal to a terminal by using the nonstandard bandwidth of LTE that can be provided by an operator.
