Abstract:
1. A base station for communicating with a user equipment in a time division duplexing manner based on an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing scheme, physical transmission resources for the communication between the base station and the user equipment being divided into a plurality of consecutive frames in the time domain, each of the frames comprising a plurality of subframes, and the base station comprising a processor and memory, wherein the processor comprises: a cycle determination device adapted to determine a cycle which a present frame belongs to, wherein the cycle consists of a predetermined number of frames of the plurality of frames; a judgment device adapted to determine whether each of subframes of the present frame is marked as a first state or a second state different from the first state according to an allocation pattern, wherein the allocation pattern marks each subframe of each frame of the cycle as the first state or the second state; a communication control device adapted to, in case of determining that the subframe is marked as the first state, enable the base station to communicate with the user equipment over the subframe, and in case of determining that the subframe is marked as the second state, disable the base station from performing the communication relating to the user equipment over the subframe; and a pattern determination device, adapted to determine an allocation pattern which can meet a bandwidth requirement on the communication and another communication with at least one peripheral device based on another wireless communication scheme, wherein the pattern determination device is further adapted to determine the allocation pattern by selecting at least one set defining fewer subframes including a switch point, or by selecting at least one portion including more consecutive subframes, and notifying the user equipment of the determined allocation pattern.
