Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for transmitting information in a TDD system, a user equipment, and a base station, and belongs to the TDD field. The method for transmitting information includes receiving, by a UE and on a first carrier of a TDD system, an uplink scheduling grant sent by a base station. The method includes sending, by the UE and in a first sub-frame on a second carrier, a scheduled PUSCH. The method further includes receiving, by the UE and in a second sub-frame, a PHICH. The the first carrier and the second carrier have different TDD uplink/downlink configurations, the second sub-frame has a backward compatible PHICH resource, and on the first carrier or the second carrier, the backward compatible PHICH resource is a PHICH resource which is identifiable to a UE in a TDD system whose version is lower than that of the TDD system.

Claims

1. A method for transmitting information in a time division duplexing (TDD) system, comprising:

receiving, by a user equipment (UE) and on a first carrier of the TDD system, an uplink scheduling grant sent by a base station;

sending, by the UE, according to the uplink scheduling grant and in a first sub-frame on a second carrier of the TDD system, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) scheduled by the uplink scheduling grant, wherein the first carrier and the second carrier have different TDD uplink/downlink configurations, the first sub-frame on the second carrier is an uplink sub-frame whose sub-frame number is k, and a sub-frame on the first carrier whose sub-frame number is k is a downlink sub-frame, and k is any integer of 0 to 9; and

determining, by the UE, not to receive a physical hybrid automatic repeat request indicator channel (PHICH) corresponding to the PUSCH.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the determining, by the UE, not to receive the PHICH corresponding to the PUSCH comprises:

when the UE determines, according to a first time sequence relationship, that a second sub-frame on the first carrier where the PHICH corresponding to the PUSCH is located does not have a backward compatible PHICH resource, determining, by the UE, not to receive the PHICH corresponding to the PUSCH, wherein

the first time sequence relationship is a time sequence relationship which is between the PUSCH and the PHICH of the first sub-frame and is obtained according to the TDD uplink/downlink configuration of the second carrier, and the backward compatible PHICH resource is a PHICH resource which is identifiable to a first UE in a lower-version TDD system whose version is lower than that of the TDD system.

3. A method for transmitting information in a time division duplexing (TDD) system, comprising:

sending, by a base station and on a first carrier of the TDD system, an uplink scheduling grant to a user equipment (UE);

receiving, by the base station, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) which is scheduled by the uplink scheduling grant and is sent by the UE in a first sub-frame on a second carrier of the TDD system, wherein the first carrier and the second carrier have different TDD uplink/downlink configurations, the first sub-frame on the second carrier is an uplink sub-frame whose sub-frame number is k, and a sub-frame on the first carrier whose sub-frame number is k is a downlink sub-frame, and k is any integer of 0 to 9; and

determining, by the base station, not to send a physical hybrid automatic repeat request indicator channel (PHICH) corresponding to the PUSCH to the UE.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the determining, by the base station, not to send the PHICH corresponding to the PUSCH to the UE comprises:

when the base station determines, according to a first time sequence relationship, that a second sub-frame on the first carrier where the PHICH corresponding to the PUSCH is located does not have a backward compatible PHICH resource, determining, by the base station, not to send the PHICH corresponding to the PUSCH to the UE, wherein

the first time sequence relationship is a time sequence relationship which is between the PUSCH and the PHICH of the first sub-frame and is obtained according to the TDD uplink/downlink configuration of the second carrier, and the backward compatible PHICH resource is a PHICH resource which is identifiable to a first UE in a lower-version TDD system whose version is lower than that of the TDD system.

5. A user equipment, comprising:

a second receiving module, configured to receive, on a first carrier of a time division duplexing (TDD) system, an uplink scheduling grant sent by a base station, and determine not to receive a physical hybrid automatic repeat request indicator channel (PHICH) corresponding to a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and

a second sending module, configured to send, according to the uplink scheduling grant received by the second receiving module and in a first sub-frame on a second carrier of the TDD system, the PUSCH scheduled by the uplink scheduling grant, wherein

the first carrier and the second carrier have different TDD uplink/downlink configurations, the first sub-frame on the second carrier is an uplink sub-frame whose sub-frame number is k, and a sub-frame on the first carrier whose sub-frame number is k is a downlink sub-frame, and k is any integer of 0 to 9.

6. The UE according to claim 5, wherein the second receiving module is configured to:

the first time sequence relationship is a time sequence relationship which is between the PUSCH and the PHICH of the first sub-frame and is obtained according to the TDD uplink/downlink configuration of the second carrier, and the backward compatible PHICH resource is a PHICH resource which is identifiable to a first UE in a lower-version TDD system whose version is lower than that of the TDD system.

7. A base station, comprising:

a fourth sending module, configured to send, on a first carrier of a time division duplexing (TDD) system, an uplink scheduling grant to a user equipment (UE), and determine not to send a physical hybrid automatic repeat request indicator channel (PHICH) corresponding to a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to the UE; and

a fourth receiving module, configured to, after the fourth sending module sends the uplink scheduling grant, receive the PUSCH which is scheduled by the uplink scheduling grant and is sent by the UE in a first sub-frame on a second carrier of the TDD system, wherein

the first carrier and the second carrier have different TDD uplink/downlink configurations, the first sub-frame on the second carrier is an uplink sub-frame whose sub-frame number is k, and a sub-frame on the first carrier whose sub-frame number is k is a downlink sub-frame, and k is any integer of 0 to 9.
