  • Publication number: 20190082436
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an uplink information transmission method, an apparatus, and user equipment. The base station configures a cell group for the UE, and sends configuration information of the cell group to the UE, so that the UE sends uplink information by using the cell group, to distribute the uplink information to a plurality of cells in the cell group for transmission, thereby implementing high-reliability transmission of the uplink information. In addition, applying the method to a scenario of co-site deployment of an unlicensed cell and a licensed cell can resolve a problem of a limited PCell capacity; applying the method to a scenario of non co-site deployment of an unlicensed cell and a licensed cell can implement uplink information transmission in such a scenario.

  • Publication number: 20190037630
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a data transmission method, user equipment, and an access network device. UE transmits air interface data to an access network device by using a serving cell set including at least two core serving cells that can independently serve the UE to transmit data, and initiates an RRC connection re-establishment process to the access network device only when detecting that all core serving cells in the serving cell set are unavailable. Data transmission is performed by using an available serving cell to the greatest extent. In other words, data transmission can be performed by using any available core serving cell, to reduce the dependence of data transmission between serving cells and minimize possibility of data transmission interruption, thereby improving data transmission robustness.
