Abstract  Abstract

A method for determining the radio frame structure of Time Division Duplex (TDD) system is disclosed which comprises: the network side configures the radio frame structure used to transmit service information as follows: a radio frame includes two 5 ms half-frames and each half-frame is divided into eight service slots of duration 0.5 ms each and one special slot field of duration 1 ms; two consecutive service slots form a subframe and the length of the subframe is 1 ms; the special slot field includes DwPTS GP and UpPTS. According to the demand of coverage sphere the lengths of DwPTS GP and UpPTS in the special slot field are determined and the radio frame structure used to transmit service information is determined. Through the reconfiguration of the radio frame structure this invention realizes flexible support for different coverage sphere and increases the flexibility of satisfying different demand of service and implements the coexistence of two kinds of TDD systems.
