Abstract

Provided is a data transmission method, a base station, a user equipment, and a system. The method includes: adjusting and determining a frame structure of each time unit within a preset duration; notifying a user equipment (UE) of the adjusted frame structure; and performing data transmission according to the adjusted frame structure.

Claims (30)

1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

configuring, by a base station, a group of slot structures via a higher-layer signaling;

determining, by the base station, a structure of each slot within a preset duration;

notifying, by the base station, a user equipment (UE) of the determined structure via a physical layer signaling, wherein the physical layer signaling includes downlink control information that is carried in a search space of a common downlink control channel indicating uplink or downlink configuration information for subsequent k slots, wherein k is a positive integer, and wherein notifying the UE comprises:

dynamically indicating the uplink or downlink configuration of each slot based on a corresponding slot structure in the group of slot structures via the physical layer signaling; and

performing a data transmission according to the determined structure.

2. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

receiving, by a user equipment (UE), configuration information about a group of slot structures via a high-layer signaling from a base station;

receiving, by the UE, a structure of each slot within a preset duration from the base station via a physical layer signaling, wherein the physical layer signaling includes downlink control information that is carried in a common search space of a downlink control channel indicating uplink or downlink configuration information for subsequent k slots, wherein k is a positive integer, wherein receiving the structure of each slot comprises dynamically receiving, by the UE, the uplink or downlink configuration of each slot based on a corresponding slot structure in the group of slot structures via the physical layer signaling; and

performing a data transmission according to the scheduling information.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises:

monitoring, by the UE, scheduling information from the base station within a predefined time;

scrambling, by the UE, the scheduling information using a specific identifier, wherein the scheduling information indicates a time domain position for transmitting a data packet.

4. A device for wireless communication, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor, wherein the processor is configured to:

configure a group of slot structures via a higher-layer signaling;

determine a structure of each slot within a preset duration; and

notify a user equipment (UE) of the determined structure via a physical layer signaling, wherein the physical layer signaling includes downlink control information that is carried in a common search space of a downlink control channel indicating uplink or downlink configuration information for subsequent k slots, wherein k is a positive integer, wherein the processor is configured to notify the UE based on:

dynamically indicating the uplink or downlink configuration of each slot based on a corresponding slot structure in the of slot structures via the physical layer signaling, and

perform data transmission according to the adjusted frame structure.

5. A device for wireless communication, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor, wherein the processor is configured to:

receive configuration information about a group of slot structures via a high-layer signaling from a base station;

receive a structure of each slot within a preset duration from a base station via a physical layer signaling, wherein the physical layer signaling includes downlink control information that is carried in a search space of a common downlink control channel indicating uplink or downlink configuration information for subsequent k slots, wherein k is a positive integer, wherein the processor is configured to receive the structure of each slot based on dynamically receiving the uplink or downlink configuration of each slot based on a corresponding slot structure in the group of slot structures via the physical layer signaling; and

perform a data transmission according to the structure.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to:

monitor scheduling information from the base station within predefined time;

scramble the scheduling information using a specific identifier, wherein the scheduling information indicates a time domain position for transmitting a data packet.
