Patent ID: 8165151

Claim:
A method for implementing uplink frequency-hopping transmission, which is applicable to a communication system having a time slot based frame structure, and the frame structure is Alternative Frame Structure in a Long Term Evolution solution, comprising: dividing in advance, by a User Equipment, a time slot into a first time period and a second time period; receiving frequency bands and a frequency hopping mode allocated by a network side; and performing uplink transmission at one of the allocated frequency bands during the first time period and then hopping to another allocated frequency band to perform uplink transmission during the second time period, according to the frequency hopping mode; wherein dividing the time slot into the first time period and the second time period comprises: grouping the forth Long Block and the part before the forth Long Block within the time slot as the first time period, and grouping the part after the forth Long Block within the time slot as the second time period.
