Abstract

This application provides a method and device for generating a subframe, a method for determining a subframe and a user equipment. The method for generating a subframe includes: determining, by a first device, patterns of at least two special subframes used in a broadcast control channel modification period, where guard period GP durations of the at least two special subframes are different; and generating, by the first device, the at least two special subframes. The method enhances flexibility and improves a system resource utilization rate.

Claims

1. A device for generating a subframe, the device comprising:

a transceiver configured to receive first indication information transmitted by a first device for indicating a special subframe used by the first device; and

a processor configured to;

determine the special subframe used by the first device according to the first indication information;

determine a pattern of a first special subframe among at least two special subframes used in a broadcast control channel modification period, wherein a guard period (GP) duration of the first special subframe is larger than a GP duration of the special subframe used by the first device;

determine patterns of other special subframes except the first special subframe among the at least two special subframes, wherein a GP duration of at least one special subframe in the other special subframes is different from the GP duration of the first special subframe; and

generate the at least two special subframes.
