Abstract

A method, a terminal and a system for a cluster terminal to feedback downlink channel information are provided. In the method, a cluster terminal in an idle state configures a group call context and measures a current downlink channel in a preset period, after a group call signaling sent by a base station is received; sends a RRC connection request carrying a measurement result to the base station after determining that the measurement result meets a preset report triggering condition, where the base station modifies an air interface resource configuration when determining that a preset condition for modifying the air interface resource configuration is met according to the measurement result and sends an instruction carrying the modified air interface resource configuration to the cluster terminal; and receives group call data according to the instruction after the instruction is received.

receiving, by the cluster terminal, group call data according to the instruction after the instruction is received.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the preset report triggering condition comprises any one of:

a neighbor channel quality being higher than a maximum threshold,

the neighbor channel quality being lower than a minimum threshold,

a wireless link failing,

the number of group call data packets received in a preset time being less than a preset threshold, and

a sequence number of received group call data being invalid.

receiving, by the cluster terminal, a system message comprising the preset report triggering condition or a group call message comprising the preset report triggering condition sent by the base station.

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

sending, by the cluster terminal, the RRC connection request carrying the measurement result to the base station after determining that the measurement result meets the preset report triggering condition, wherein the base station returns a response of rejecting connection to the cluster terminal when determining that the preset condition for modifying the air interface resource configuration is not met according to the measurement result.

16. The method according to claim 2, wherein, before measuring the current downlink channel, the method further comprises:

configuring, by the cluster terminal, the preset report triggering condition.
