Abstract

An identifier transmitting method. The identifier transmitting method includes: determining, by a terminal, an identifier for a licensed frequency band of the terminal; and transmitting, by the terminal via an unlicensed frequency band, the identifier to an access point for the unlicensed frequency band.

Claims (45)

1. An identifier transmitting method, comprising:

determining, by a terminal, an identifier for a licensed frequency band of the terminal; and

transmitting, by the terminal via an unlicensed frequency band, the identifier to an access point for the unlicensed frequency band;

determining a quality of communication with a base station via the licensed frequency band;

in response to determining that the quality of communication is lower than a predetermined value, receiving, via the unlicensed frequency band, information which is from the base station and forwarded by the access point; and

in response to determining that the quality of communication is higher than or equal to the predetermined value, receiving the information via the licensed frequency band.

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

in response to determining that the quality of communication is lower than the predetermined value, after receiving, via the unlicensed frequency band, the information which is from the base station and forwarded by the access point, re-determining the quality of communication with the base station via the licensed frequency band; and

in response to determining that the re-determined quality of communication is higher than or equal to the predetermined value, communicating with the base station via the licensed frequency band based on the information.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the identifier comprises at least one of a temporary identifier or a permanent identifier.

4. An electronic device, comprising:

a processor,

a memory for storing executable instructions by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to perform the identifier transmitting method of claim 1 .

5. An identifier receiving method, comprising:

receiving, by an access point for an unlicensed frequency band, a first identifier transmitted by a terminal via the unlicensed frequency band, wherein the first identifier is an identifier determined by the terminal for a licensed frequency band of the terminal, and the first identifier enables the access point to provide services to the terminal based on the first identifier in a case that a base station is to communicate with the terminal via the unlicensed frequency band;

receiving information and a second identifier for the licensed frequency band of the terminal to receive the information, wherein the information and the second identifier are transmitted by a base station;

determining a target identifier from at least one of received first identifiers, wherein the target identifier is same as the second identifier; and

transmitting, via the unlicensed frequency band, the information to a target terminal corresponding to the target identifier.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein receiving the information and the second identifier for the licensed frequency band of the terminal to receive the information which are transmitted by the base station comprises:

receiving, via the licensed frequency band, the information and the second identifier transmitted by the base station.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein receiving the information and the second identifier for the licensed frequency band of the terminal to receive the information which are transmitted by the base station comprises:

receiving, via Internet, the information and the second identifier transmitted by the base station.

8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the first identifier comprises at least one of a temporary identifier or a permanent identifier.

9. An electronic device, comprising:

a processor,

a memory for storing executable instructions by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to perform the identifier receiving method of claim 6 .

10. An information transmitting method, comprising:

determining, by a base station, a target access point connected with a terminal via an unlicensed frequency band; and

transmitting, by the base station, information and an identifier for a licensed frequency band of the terminal to receive the information to the target access point;

wherein the method further comprises:

before transmitting the information and the identifier for the licensed frequency band of the terminal to receive the information to the target access point, determining a quality of communication with the terminal via the licensed frequency band;

in response to determining that the quality of communication is lower than a predetermined value, transmitting the information and the identifier to the target access point; and

in response to determining that the quality of communication is higher than or equal to the predetermined value, transmitting the information to the terminal via the licensed frequency band.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein transmitting the information and the identifier for the licensed frequency band of the terminal to receive the information to the target access point comprises:

transmitting the information and the identifier to any access point that has a communication connection with the base station.

12. The method according to claim 10 , wherein transmitting the information and the identifier for the licensed frequency band of the terminal to receive the information to the target access point comprises:

transmitting, via the licensed frequency band, the information and the identifier to the target access point.

13. The method according to claim 10 , wherein transmitting the information and the identifier for the licensed frequency band of the terminal to receive the information to the target access point comprises:

transmitting, via Internet, the information and the identifier to the target access point.

14. An electronic device, comprising:

a processor,

a memory for storing executable instructions by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to perform the information transmitting method of claim 10 .
