Claim Text:
1. A method, in a central processing unit of a control device of a pico cell or a macro cell of a heterogeneous network based upon a time division duplex system, of instructing a user equipment to perform a dynamic uplink and downlink resource configuration, the method comprising: indicating whether the dynamic uplink and downlink configuration is triggered for the user equipment by using a bit reserved in broadcast channel signaling; allocating a resource of a subframe in a frame for downlink control information in physical downlink control channel signaling when the dynamic uplink and downlink configuration is triggered for the user equipment, wherein a location of the subframe in the frame corresponds in a one-to-one manner to a dynamic uplink and downlink configuration type currently adopted by the user equipment, and the location of the sub-frame in the frame indicates a dynamic uplink and downlink configuration type currently adopted by the user equipment; and transmitting the physical downlink control channel signaling comprising the frame to the user equipment.
