A communication method in a time division duplex system, comprising: determining, by a base station, radio frame configuration information; sending, by the base station, the radio frame configuration information to user equipment, UE; and communicating, by the base station, with the UE by a radio frame configured according to the radio frame configuration information; characterized in that the radio frame configuration information instructs the UE to at least one of: configure each of uplink subframe of one radio frame to two same consecutive uplink subframe based on a reduction of a subframe duration, wherein a subframe duration of each of the two same consecutive uplink subframe is 1/2 of an original subframe duration of each of the uplink subframe before the configuring; configure each of downlink subframe of one radio frame to two same consecutive downlink subframe based on a reduction of a subframe duration, wherein a subframe duration of each of the two same consecutive downlink subframe is 1/2 of an original subframe duration of each of the downlink subframe before the configuring; configure each of special subframe of one radio frame to two same consecutive special subframe based on a reduction of a subframe duration, wherein a subframe duration of each of the two same consecutive special subframe is 1/2 of an original subframe duration of each of the special subframe before the configuring. determining, by a base station, radio frame configuration information; sending, by the base station, the radio frame configuration information to user equipment, UE; and communicating, by the base station, with the UE by a radio frame configured according to the radio frame configuration information; characterized in that the radio frame configuration information instructs the UE to at least one of: configure each of uplink subframe of one radio frame to two same consecutive uplink subframe based on a reduction of a subframe duration, wherein a subframe duration of each of the two same consecutive uplink subframe is 1/2 of an original subframe duration of each of the uplink subframe before the configuring; configure each of downlink subframe of one radio frame to two same consecutive downlink subframe based on a reduction of a subframe duration, wherein a subframe duration of each of the two same consecutive downlink subframe is 1/2 of an original subframe duration of each of the downlink subframe before the configuring; configure each of special subframe of one radio frame to two same consecutive special subframe based on a reduction of a subframe duration, wherein a subframe duration of each of the two same consecutive special subframe is 1/2 of an original subframe duration of each of the special subframe before the configuring. configure each of uplink subframe of one radio frame to two same consecutive uplink subframe based on a reduction of a subframe duration, wherein a subframe duration of each of the two same consecutive uplink subframe is 1/2 of an original subframe duration of each of the uplink subframe before the configuring; configure each of downlink subframe of one radio frame to two same consecutive downlink subframe based on a reduction of a subframe duration, wherein a subframe duration of each of the two same consecutive downlink subframe is 1/2 of an original subframe duration of each of the downlink subframe before the configuring; configure each of special subframe of one radio frame to two same consecutive special subframe based on a reduction of a subframe duration, wherein a subframe duration of each of the two same consecutive special subframe is 1/2 of an original subframe duration of each of the special subframe before the configuring.
