Abstract

Provided are a wireless communication method and apparatus. The method includes: determining an overlapping wireless frequency band resource between a cellular communication system and a wireless-fidelity (WIFI) system; transmitting, by the cellular communication system, an interference signal on the overlapping wireless frequency band resource to shield a terminal of the WIFI system from performing communications on the overlapping wireless frequency band resource; and communicating, by the cellular communication system, with a terminal on the overlapping wireless frequency band resource.

1. A wireless communication method, comprising:

determining an overlapping wireless frequency band resource between a cellular communication system and a wireless-fidelity (WIFI) system;

transmitting, by the cellular communication system, an interference signal on the overlapping wireless frequency band resource to shield a terminal of the WIFI system from performing communications on the overlapping wireless frequency band resource; and

communicating, by the cellular communication system, with a terminal on the overlapping wireless frequency band resource;

wherein a frequency domain bandwidth of the interference signal is determined according to a number of the interference signal and transmit power of the interference signal.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the overlapping wireless frequency band resource between the cellular communication system and the WIFI system comprises:

determining, according to a size and a position of an occupied frequency-domain bandwidth of the cellular communication system, an overlapping sub-channel set between the cellular communication system and the WIFI system.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein before transmitting, by the cellular communication system, the interference signal on the overlapping wireless frequency band resource, the method further comprises:

determining a position for transmitting the interference signal from the sub-channel set of the cellular communication system and a number of the interference signal, wherein the position for transmitting the interference signal and the number of the interference signal satisfy a condition that the interference signal interferes with each sub-channel in the sub-channel set of the WIFI system.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the position for transmitting the interference signal is located on a guard band of the cellular communication system or on a transmission bandwidth of the cellular communication system.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein transmit power of the interference signal satisfies a condition that an average received power value of each sub-channel in the sub-channel set received by all WIFI terminals in an interference area is not less than a preset threshold.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein when the position for transmitting the interference signal is located on the transmission bandwidth of the cellular communication system,

a frequency domain position corresponding to the position for transmitting the interference signal within a bandwidth of the cellular communication system is configured as a non-use region.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmit power of the interference signal, a bandwidth of the interference signal and a number of the interference signal satisfy the following formula:
