Abstract

The present invention discloses a spectrum sharing method and apparatus thereof. The method includes: acquiring a cycle period of a shared frequency between a first system and a second system; obtaining time slice allocation information of the cycle period; and sending the time slice allocation information to a user equipment. By means of the foregoing manner, a shared frequency can be allocated, so that efficiency of transmitting system data can be effectively improved.

Claims (34)

1. An apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the at least one processor, the program including instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:

receive time slice allocation information of a cycle period of a shared frequency between a first system and a second system, wherein the time slice allocation information comprises a first time slice for the first system and a second time slice for the second system, the first system is a long term evolution (LTE) system, and the second system is a system different from the LTE system,

perform data transmission at the first time slice of the shared frequency by using the first system, and

perform data transmission at the second time slice of the shared frequency by using the second system.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the time slice allocation information further comprises at least one of a valid time, and a valid range.

3. The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the valid range is a valid range of a set of cells in which time slices are allocated to be valid.

4. An apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the at least one processor, the program including instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:

acquire a cycle period of a shared frequency between a first system and a second system,

obtain time slice allocation information of the cycle period,

send the time slice allocation information to a user equipment, and

wherein the time slice allocation information comprises a first time slice and a second time slice, the first time slice is for transmitting data on the shared frequency by using the first system, the second time slice is for transmitting data on the shared frequency by using the second system, the first system is a long term evolution (LTE) system, and the second system is a system different from the LTE system.

5. The apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the time slice allocation information further comprises at least one of a valid time, and a valid range.

6. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the valid range is a valid range of a set of cells in which time slices are allocated to be valid.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program which, when executed by a processor within a device, causes the device to:

receive time slice allocation information of a cycle period of a shared frequency between a first system and a second system, wherein the time slice allocation information comprises a first time slice for the first system and a second time slice for the second system, the first system is a long term evolution (LTE) system, and the second system is a system different from the LTE system;

perform data transmission at the first time slice of the shared frequency by using the first system; and

perform data transmission at the second time slice of the shared frequency by using the second system.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 7 , wherein the time slice allocation information further comprises at least one of a valid time, and a valid range.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 8 , wherein the valid range is a valid range of a set of cells in which time slices are allocated to be valid.

10. A communications system, comprising:

a network side device, configured to:

acquire a cycle period of a shared frequency between a first system and a second system;

obtain time slice allocation information of the cycle period; and

send the time slice allocation information to a user equipment, wherein the time slice allocation information comprises a first time slice and a second time slice, the first system is a long term evolution (LTE) system, and the second system is a system different from the LTE system; and

the user equipment, configured to:

receive the time slice allocation information;

perform data transmission at the first time slice of the shared frequency by using the first system; and

perform data transmission at the second time slice of the shared frequency by using the second system.

11. The communications system according to claim 10 , wherein the time slice allocation information further comprises at least one of a valid time, and a valid range.

12. The communications system according to claim 11 , wherein the valid range is a valid range of a set of cells in which time slices are allocated to be valid.
