Abstract
La présente invention concerne un procédé de transmission de données de liaison descendante, un dispositif de réseau et un terminal. Le procédé consiste : à recevoir des premières informations de rétroaction de faisceau en provenance d'un terminal à faisceau large, les premières informations de rétroaction de faisceau comprenant des informations d'un premier faisceau large devant être utilisé par le terminal à faisceau large et des informations de M faisceaux large ayant une qualité de signal qui satisfait une première condition, et M est un nombre entier supérieur ou égal à 1 ; à recevoir des secondes informations de rétroaction de faisceau à partir d'un terminal à faisceau étroit, les secondes informations de rétroaction de faisceau comprenant des informations d'un second faisceau large déterminé par le terminal à faisceau étroit et des informations de N faisceaux large ayant une qualité de signal qui satisfait une seconde condition, et N est un nombre entier supérieur ou égal à 1 ; à recevoir, à partir du terminal à faisceau étroit, des informations d'un premier faisceau étroit à utiliser par le terminal à faisceau étroit, le premier faisceau étroit étant un faisceau étroit recouvert par un second faisceau large ; et à déterminer, selon les premières informations de rétroaction de faisceau, les secondes informations de rétroaction de faisceau, et les informations du premier faisceau étroit, s'il faut transmettre des données de liaison descendante au terminal à faisceau large et au terminal à faisceau étroit. Le procédé réduit le surdébit et un retard temporel de mesure d'interférence pendant une transmission de données de liaison descendante.
