Abstract

A method for determining a Guard Period (GP), including: after a terminal side accesses a cell, receiving, by the terminal side, at least one of the following information sent by a network side: a duration of an uplink service, a duration of a downlink service or a time length of a GP; determining, by the terminal side, a duration for sending the uplink service and a duration for receiving the downlink service according to the information; and sending, by the terminal side, the uplink service according to the duration of the uplink service, or receiving the downlink service according to the duration of the downlink service. A corresponding terminal and a corresponding non-transitory storage medium are also provided.

Claims (53)

1. A method for determining a Guard Period (GP), comprising:

after a terminal side accesses a cell, receiving, by the terminal side, at least one of the following information sent by a network side: a duration of an uplink service, a duration of a downlink service or a time length of a GP;

determining, by the terminal side, a duration for sending the uplink service and a duration for receiving the downlink service according to the received information; and

sending, by the terminal side, the uplink service according to the determined duration of the uplink service, or receiving the downlink service according to the determined duration of the downlink service,

wherein receiving, by the terminal side, at least one of the following information sent by the network side comprises:

receiving, by the terminal side, the information sent by the network side through N bits in a control channel, wherein the N bits are used for carrying at least one of the following information: the duration of the uplink service, the duration of the downlink service or the time length of the GP, and N is a positive integer greater than 0; or

receiving, by the terminal side, semi-static signaling sent by the network side, wherein the semi-static signaling carries at least one of the following information: the duration of the uplink service, the duration of the downlink service or the time length of the GP.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining, by the terminal side, the duration for sending the uplink service and the duration for receiving the downlink service according to the received information comprises:

determining, by the terminal side, that durations of downlink services are the same and time sequences of the downlink services are aligned;

determining, by the terminal side, a start position of the uplink service according to the time length of the GP, a total time length of the sub-frame and the duration of the downlink service; and

sending, by the terminal side, the uplink service from the start position.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the alignment of the time sequences of the downlink services refers to that transmission start times of the downlink services are aligned and transmission end times of the downlink services are aligned.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining, by the terminal side, the duration for sending the uplink service and the duration for receiving the downlink service according to the received information comprises:

determining, by the terminal side, that durations of uplink services are the same and time sequences of the uplink services are aligned; and

determining, by the terminal side, a start position of the downlink service according to the time length of the GP, a total time length of the sub-frame and the duration of the uplink service; and

receiving, by the terminal side, the downlink service from the start position.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the alignment of the time sequences of the uplink services refers to that transmission start times of the uplink services are aligned and transmission end times of the uplink services are aligned.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the duration of the uplink or downlink service is represented by at least any one of the followings: a number of symbols, a position of a start symbol or a position of a terminal symbol.

7. A terminal, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor,

wherein the processor is arranged to:

after the terminal accesses a cell, receive at least one of the following information sent by a network side: a duration of an uplink service, a duration of a downlink service or a time length of a GP;

determine a duration for sending the uplink service and a duration for receiving the downlink service according to the received information; and

send the uplink service according to the determined duration of the uplink service, or receive the downlink service according to the determined duration of the downlink service,

wherein the processor is specifically arranged to:

receive the information sent by the network side through N bits in a control channel, wherein the N bits are used for carrying at least one of the following information: the duration of the uplink service, the duration of the downlink service or the time length of the GP, and N is a positive integer greater than 0; or

receive semi-static signaling sent by the network side, wherein the semi-static signaling carries at least one of the following information: the duration of the uplink service, the duration of the downlink service or the time length of the GP.

8. The terminal according to claim 7 , wherein determining the duration for sending the uplink service and the duration for receiving the downlink service according to the received information comprises:

determining that durations of downlink services are the same and time sequences of the downlink services are aligned;

determining a start position of the uplink service according to the time length of the GP, a total time length of the sub-frame and the duration of the downlink service; and

sending the uplink service from the start position.

9. The terminal according to claim 7 , wherein determining the duration for sending the uplink service and the duration for receiving the downlink service according to the received information comprises:

determining that durations of uplink services are the same and time sequences of the uplink services are aligned;

determining a start position of the downlink service according to the time length of the GP, a total time length of the sub-frame and the duration of the uplink service; and

receiving the downlink service from the start position.

10. The terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the duration of the uplink or downlink service is represented by at least any one of the followings: a number of symbols, a position of a start symbol or a position of a terminal symbol.

11. A non-transitory computer storage medium having stored thereon computer executable instructions configured to execute a method for determining a Guard Period (GP), the method comprising:

after a terminal side accesses a cell, receiving, by the terminal side, at least one of the following information sent by a network side: a duration of an uplink service, a duration of a downlink service or a time length of a GP;

determining, by the terminal side, a duration for sending the uplink service and a duration for receiving the downlink service according to the received information; and
