<p>Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, an apparatus, and a system for identifying different frame structures to ensure backward compatibility of an LTE-advanced (LTE-A) network. The method for identifying different frame structures includes: receiving a radio frame on a frequency division duplex (FDD) downlink carrier, where the radio frame includes an identifier of a frame structure; and identifying the frame structure according to the identifier of the frame structure included in the radio frame. Embodiments of the present invention also disclose a user equipment (UE), an evolved NodeB (eNB), and a system for identifying different frame structures. Through the technical solutions provided by embodiments of the present invention, LTE-A users can identify the frame structure carried on the FDD downlink carrier when accessing the network initially, but LTE users are unaware of the change of the frame structure.</p> |
