Method and Apparatus to Support New Special Sub-Frame in Legacy Wireless Communication Network |
| 摘要 |
The embodiments disclose a method and BS to utilize a new Special Sub-Frame (SSF) in a legacy Time Division Duplex (TDD) cellular network, the BS is enabled to support the new SSF, the method notifies one or more User Equipments (UEs) served by the BS of a legacy SSF configuration, which actually is the corresponding new SSF configuration; schedules a downlink transmission including the new SSF from the BS to at least one of the one or more UEs respectively and performing the scheduled downlink transmission to the respective UE; and when receiving a response in a uplink transmission from the UE in response to the scheduled downlink transmission, determines that the UE is enabled to support the new SSF and thus communicating with the UE by means of the new SSF. |
