Abstract

A method for wireless communication, applied to a network device in communication with a terminal device, is disclosed. The terminal device connects with a first network and a second network and the network device is in the second network. The method includes reducing, by the network device when an uplink duty cycle of the second network is greater than a maximum uplink duty cycle of the second network, the uplink duty cycle of the second network. The uplink duty cycle of the second network is a proportion of time domain resources that can be used for uplink transmission in a time unit.

Claims (34)

1. A method for wireless communication, applied to a network device in communication with a terminal device, wherein the terminal device connects with a first network and a second network, the network device is in the second network, the method comprising:

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the uplink duty cycle of the second network is configured by the network device, or is determined autonomously by the terminal device.

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

receiving, by the network device, the maximum uplink duty cycle of the second network from the terminal device.

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

receiving, by the network device from the terminal device, a current uplink-downlink ratio of the first network and a correspondence between uplink-downlink ratios of the first network and maximum uplink duty cycles of the second network; and

determining, by the network device, the maximum uplink duty cycle of the second network according to the current uplink-downlink ratio of the first network and the correspondence.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the correspondence comprises a plurality of first correspondences, and the determining, by the network device, the maximum uplink duty cycle of the second network according to the current uplink-downlink ratio of the first network and the correspondence comprises:

determining, by the network device, the maximum uplink duty cycle of the second network according to a maximum transmit power of the first network, a maximum transmit power of the second network, the current uplink-downlink ratio of the first network, and the plurality of first correspondences.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the plurality of first correspondences is obtained by the terminal device through:

determining, by adjusting an uplink ratio of the second network when the first network transmits a signal at a first maximum output power and the second network transmits a signal at a second maximum output power, a target uplink duty cycle of the second network when a specific absorption ratio (SAR) value reaches a preset value; and

determining the target uplink duty cycle of the second network as the maximum uplink duty cycle of the second network corresponding to a first uplink-downlink ratio, wherein the first uplink-downlink ratio is a current uplink-downlink ratio of the first network.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the first maximum output power is 23 dBm or 26 dBm.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the second maximum output power is 23 dBm or 26 dBm.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first network is a long term evolution (LTE) network, and the second network is a new radio (NR) network.
