Abstract

Des modes de réalisation de la présente demande se rapportent au domaine des communications, et concernent un procédé et un appareil de communication, qui peuvent satisfaire les exigences de communication d'un réseau GT de prochaine génération au moyen de la transmission d'une supertrame apte à étendre la couverture. Le procédé consiste : à générer et à transmettre au moins une supertrame à un nœud terminal. La longueur de chaque supertrame parmi l'au moins une supertrame est de 1 milliseconde, chaque supertrame comprend S premières trames, les S premières trames comprennent une trame de premier type, et la trame de premier type comprend N premiers symboles utilisés pour une commutation de transmission/réception de données de liaison montante/liaison descendante par le nœud terminal. Ici, S = 2a, a est un nombre entier positif, 1 < a < 24, N ≤ X, N et X sont tous deux des nombres entiers positifs, et X est le nombre de symboles compris dans chaque première trame.
