Patent ID: 8520573

Claim:
A method for implementing uplink resource (ul grant), comprising: receiving, by a user terminal, an ul grant from a base station, the ul grant includes an uplink resource index, wherein a corresponding relationship exists between the uplink resource index and at least one uplink subframe, the corresponding relationship is determined by an uplink-downlink subframe ratio of a configuration, and the number of uplink subframes is more than the number of downlink subframes in the uplink-downlink subframe ratio of the configuration; resolving, by the user terminal, the uplink resource index from the ul grant, wherein the corresponding relation has been established for the uplink resource index prior to the uplink resource grant being sent by the base station, and the corresponding relationship is established by the base station performing the following: combining the at least one uplink subframe into a group; and correlating, the group with the uplink resource index, so as to establish the corresponding relation between the uplink resource index and the at least one uplink subframe; wherein each uplink resource index is correlated with a group of at least one uplink subframe, and the uplink subframes in each group are not completely the same; performing, by the user terminal, the resource grant on the at least one uplink subframe according to the resolved uplink resource index.
