Abstract

A communication method according to one embodiment comprises: transmitting, by a base station that manages a Licensed-Assisted Access (LAA) cell, downlink control information (DCI) to a user equipment, the DCI including subframe information and a transmission instruction of a sounding reference signal in the LAA cell, the subframe information indicates a specific subframe in which the user equipment should transmit the sounding reference signal; and transmitting, by the user equipment, the sounding reference signal to the base station in the specific subframe, based on the DCI.

Claims (14)

1. A communication method comprising:

generating, by a base station, a user equipment specific control message including radio resource configuration of a user equipment;

segmenting, by the base station, the generated user equipment specific control information into a plurality of segments in response to a size of the generated user equipment specific control message exceeding a threshold value; and

transmitting, by the base station, the plurality of segments to the user equipment, wherein

the transmitting comprises transmitting information indicating a number of the plurality of segments by dedicated Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

2. A user equipment comprising:

a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the processor is configured to perform processes of:

receiving, from a base station, a plurality of segments of a user equipment specific control message including radio resource configuration of a user equipment, the receiving comprising receiving information indicating a number of the plurality of segments by dedicated Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, wherein the user equipment specific control message is segmented into the plurality of segments by the base station in response to a size of the user equipment specific control message exceeding a threshold value; and

acquiring the user equipment specific control message based on the received plurality of segments.

3. A base station comprising a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the processor is configured to perform processes of:

generating a user equipment specific control message including a radio resource configuration of a user equipment;

segmenting the generated user equipment specific control information into a plurality of segments in response to a size of the generated user equipment specific control message exceeding a threshold value; and

transmitting, by the base station, the plurality of segments to the user equipment, wherein

the transmitting comprises transmitting information indicating a number of the plurality of segments by dedicated Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.
