1. A radio equipment controller (REC) for a base station supporting multiple radio access technology, the REC comprising:
- a processor configured to determine, according to a slot ID or radio access technology information received from a link formed by the REC, a radio equipment (RE) and a peer REC, that a first radio access technology supported by the REC is different from a second radio access technology supported by the peer REC, and determine that the link is in a dual-star link mode according to a hop number received from the link;
a transmitter configured to transmit a downlink data corresponding to the first radio access technology supported by the REC to a first port of the RE, and send Layer 1 (L1) information to the RE, wherein the L1 information includes indication indicating the dual-star link mode; and
a receiver configured to receive a first uplink data corresponding to the first radio access technology from the first port of the RE.

Abstract
Method and device for data transmission are provided. When a base station supports multiple radio access technologies, determines radio access technologies respectively supported by RE'"'"'s two ports, and transmits data corresponding to the radio access technologies respectively through the two ports. With the technical solutions provided in embodiments of the present invention, the base station can support multiple radio access technologies and transmit service data and control data corresponding to multiple radio access technologies.

6. A method for data transmission in a base station supporting multiple radio access technologies, the method comprising:
-
determining, by a radio equipment controller (REC), that a first radio access technology is different from a second radio access technology supported by a peer REC according to a slot ID or radio access technology information received from a link formed by the REC, a radio equipment (RE) and the peer REC; determining, by the REC, that the link is in a dual-star link mode according to a received hop number; and sending, by the REC, Layer 1 (L1) information to the RE, the L1 information including indication information indicating the dual-star link; transmitting, by the REC a downlink data corresponding to the first radio access technology supported by the REC to a first port of the RE; and receiving, by the REC, a first uplink data corresponding to the first radio access technology from the RE. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
