Abstract

A data transmission method, device, and system are provided. The method includes: sending, by a base station, an NPSS to UE by using a first subframe in a first radio frame and a first subframe in a second radio frame, where the first radio frame and the second radio frame are consecutive, and both the first radio frame and the second radio frame use a TDD uplink-downlink subframe configuration; sending, by the base station, an NPBCH to the UE by using a second subframe in the first radio frame and a second subframe in the second radio frame; sending, by the base station, an NSSS to the UE by using a third subframe in the first radio frame; and sending, by the base station, a SIB1-NB to the UE by using a third subframe in the second radio frame.

Claims (47)

1. A data transmission method, comprising:

sending, by a base station, a narrowband primary synchronization signal (NPSS) to user equipment (UE) using a subframe 5 in a first radio frame and a subframe 5 in a second radio frame, wherein the first radio frame and the second radio frame are consecutive, and both the first radio frame and the second radio frame use a time division duplex (TDD) uplink-downlink subframe configuration;

sending, by the base station, a narrowband physical broadcast channel (NPBCH) to the UE using a subframe 9 in the first radio frame and a subframe 9 in the second radio frame;

sending, by the base station, a narrowband secondary synchronization signal (NSSS) to the UE using a subframe 0 in the first radio frame; and

sending, by the base station, a system information block Type1-NB (SIB1-NB) to the UE using a subframe 0 in the second radio frame.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, in the first radio frame and the second radio frame, the subframe 5 , the subframe 9 , and the subframe 0 each are a downlink subframe.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the NPSS comprises first indication information, and the first indication information indicates that both the first radio frame and the second radio frame use the TDD uplink-downlink subframe configuration.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the UE in the subframe 5 in the first radio frame and the subframe 5 in the second radio frame, the NPSS from the base station;

receiving, by the UE in the subframe 9 in the first radio frame and the subframe 9 in the second radio frame;

receiving, by the UE in the subframe 0 in the first radio frame, the NSSS from the base station;

receiving, by the UE in the subframe 0 in the second radio frame, the SIB 1 -NB from the base station; and

determining, by the UE, that both the first radio frame and the second radio frame use the TDD uplink-downlink subframe configuration.

5. A data transmission method, comprising:

receiving, by user equipment UE in a subframe 5 in a first radio frame and a subframe 5 in a second radio frame, a narrowband primary synchronization signal (NPSS) from a base station, wherein the first radio frame and the second radio frame are consecutive;

receiving, by the UE in a subframe 9 in the first radio frame and a subframe 9 in the second radio frame, a narrowband physical broadcast channel (NPBCH) from the base station;

receiving, by the UE in a subframe 0 in the first radio frame, a narrowband secondary synchronization signal (NSSS) from the base station;

receiving, by the UE in a subframe 0 in the second radio frame, a system information block Type1-NB (SIB1-NB) from the base station; and

determining, by the UE, that both the first radio frame and the second radio frame use a time division duplex (TDD) uplink-downlink subframe configuration.

6. An apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor coupled to a non-transitory memory and configured to execute instructions stored in the non-transitory memory, wherein the instructions cause the apparatus to:

receive, in a subframe 5 in a first radio frame and a subframe 5 in a second radio frame, a narrowband primary synchronization signal (NPSS) from a base station, wherein the first radio frame and the second radio frame are consecutive;

receive, in a subframe 9 in the first radio frame and a subframe 9 in the second radio frame, a narrowband physical broadcast channel (NPBCH) from the base station;

receive, in a subframe 0 in the first radio frame, a narrowband secondary synchronization signal (NSSS) from the base station;

receive, in a subframe 0 in the second radio frame, a system information block Type1-NB (SIB1-NB) from the base station; and

determine that both the first radio frame and the second radio frame use a time division duplex (TDD) uplink-downlink subframe configuration.

7. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the apparatus is user equipment.

8. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein a signal format of the NPSS is a first signal format, and the first signal format indicates that both the first radio frame and the second radio frame use the TDD uplink-downlink subframe configuration.

9. An apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor coupled to a non-transitory memory and configured to execute instructions stored in the non-transitory memory, wherein the instructions cause the apparatus to:

send a narrowband primary synchronization signal (NPSS) to user equipment (UE) using a subframe 5 in a first radio frame and a subframe 5 in a second radio frame, wherein the first radio frame and the second radio frame are consecutive, and both the first radio frame and the second radio frame use a time division duplex (TDD) uplink-downlink subframe configuration;

send a narrowband secondary synchronization signal (NSSS) to the UE using a subframe 0 in the first radio frame; and

send a system information block Type1-NB (SIB1-NB) to the UE using a subframe 0 in the second radio frame.

10. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the apparatus is a base station.

11. A data transmission system, comprising a base station and user equipment (UE),

wherein the base station is configured to:

send a narrowband primary synchronization signal (NPSS) to the UE using a subframe 5 in a first radio frame and a subframe 5 in a second radio frame, wherein the first radio frame and the second radio frame are consecutive, and both the first radio frame and the second radio frame use a time division duplex (TDD) uplink-downlink subframe configuration;
