Abstract:
1. A method for multiple frequency point multiple access, comprising: configuring, in a system that comprises a plurality of working frequency points, an uplink multi-access mode for sending uplink information and a downlink multi-access mode for sending downlink information at each working frequency point in the plurality of working frequency points; sending at each working frequency point, one or both of the uplink information according to the uplink multi-access mode and the downlink information according to the downlink multi-access mode; allocating the plurality of working frequency points to a terminal; configuring a predetermined working frequency point in the plurality of working frequency points as an initial access working frequency point of the terminal; and after accessing the initial access working frequency point, acquiring, by the terminal, the uplink multi-access modes and the downlink multi-access modes used by the terminal to send the uplink information and the downlink information at the plurality of working frequency points according to a system message received by the terminal, and adjusting, by the terminal, a current working frequency point of the terminal according to a multi-access mode supported by the terminal, wherein the uplink multi-access mode for sending the uplink information at the initial access working frequency point is at least one of single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), clustered single carrier frequency division multiple access (clustered SC-FDMA), and NxSC-FDMA and the downlink multi-access mode for sending the downlink information is orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), and wherein adjusting the current working frequency point of the terminal comprises adjusting the current working frequency point of the terminal, which is located in an old system, to a new working frequency point that is used in the SC-FDMA multi-access mode to send the uplink information and that is used in the OFDMA multi-access mode to send the downlink information.
