The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for transmitting data using a multi-carrier in a mobile communication system. The method of transmitting data in user equipment of a wireless communication system using a carrier aggregation technique according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes the steps of setting secondary cells included in an S-TAG (Secondary-Timing Advance Group) configured of only secondary cells (SCells), deactivating a downlink timing reference cell in the S-TAG; determining whether other activated secondary cells exist besides the deactivated downlink timing reference cell in the S-TAG, and when the other activated secondary cells exist in the S-TAG, setting one of the other activated secondary cells as a new downlink timing reference cell. According to the present disclosure, uplink transmission speed can be increased in the user equipment and user QoS can be improved by transmitting data using one or more uplink carriers in the terminal.

A method for determining time information is disclosed. The method includes: obtaining, by a network node, information sent by a terminal device; and determining, by the network node, at least one of the following based on the information: a first time interval between downlink scheduling and downlink data transmission, a second time interval between the downlink data transmission and a feedback message sent by the terminal device after the terminal device receives downlink data, and a third time interval between uplink scheduling and uplink data transmission, where the information may include at least one of a subcarrier spacing, an operating band, and a bandwidth that are supported by the terminal device, and further include a first smallest value and/or a second smallest value and/or a third smallest value corresponding to the at least one item. Therefore, flexibility and accuracy of determining the time information are improved.

An LPWAN communication system includes server equipment, at least one gateway and at least one relay. Each gateway communicates with terminals using a Class A communication mode, wherein any response intended for a terminal uses a reception window defined with respect to a transmission time of an original message by said terminal. Each relay is seen as a terminal by each gateway, and communicates with terminals in accordance with a Class A′ communication mode, defined as follows: the relay transmits beacons at regular intervals and listens out to terminals only during timeslots defined with respect to said beacons. In this Class A′ communication mode, the relay propagates any response toward a terminal using at least one other reception window defined with respect to a transmission time of an original message by said terminal.

A data scheduling method includes: transmitting to a terminal a determination rule for determining target location information corresponding to each of a plurality of target time domain units, the plurality of target time domain units being a plurality of time domain units for performing data bearing according to scheduling signaling. As such, in the dynamic scheduling of a terminal by a base station, an objective of simultaneously scheduling a plurality of target time domain units through one scheduling signaling to perform data bearing can be realized.
