A first method includes transmitting a first Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) communications signal to a wireless node in a licensed spectrum, and transmitting, concurrently with the transmission of the first OFDMA communications signal, a second OFDMA communications signal to the wireless node in an unlicensed spectrum. A second method includes receiving a first Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) communications signal from a wireless node in a licensed spectrum, and receiving, concurrently with the reception of the first OFDMA communications signal, a second OFDMA communication signal from the wireless node in an unlicensed spectrum. A third method includes generating a periodic gating interval for a cellular downlink in an unlicensed spectrum, and synchronizing at least one boundary of the periodic gating interval with at least one boundary of a periodic frame structure associated with a primary component carrier of the cellular downlink.

In a signal transfer system including a signal transfer management apparatus and a plurality of signal transfer apparatuses connected in multiple stages that form a network between distribution station apparatuses and a central station apparatus, a first signal transfer apparatus directly connected to a distribution station apparatus among the plurality of signal transfer apparatuses acquires the amount of data of a high priority signal that will be output next from the distribution station apparatus, measures the amount of traffic of the high priority signal received from the distribution station apparatus, calculates opening and closing timings of a gate for transferring a low priority signal based on the amount of data and the amount of traffic, and opens and closes the gate for transferring the low priority signal. This enables efficient use of the network bandwidth.

The method includes: transmitting indication information to an SDAP entity receiving end if a DRB corresponding to a QoS data flow is changed from a source DRB to a target DRB. The indication information is used to indicate that transmission of a first QoS data flow is completed on the source DRB or transmission of data of a second QoS data flow starts on the target DRB. Data of the QoS data flow includes data of the first QoS data flow and data of the second QoS data flow.

The present disclosure relates to communication methods and communication apparatus. In one example method, a centralized unit user plane (CU-UP) obtains a first service feature of a service. The first service feature includes one or more of the following: data that indicates whether the service is a periodic service, a periodicity corresponding to the service when the service is a periodic service, a service packet size corresponding to the service, a service model corresponding to the service, or scheduling time of the service. Then, the CU-UP sends the first service feature to a centralized unit control plane (CU-CP). Next, the CU-CP may send the first service feature to a distributed unit (DU).

Example communication methods and apparatus are described. A network device sends first information to a first communication apparatus. The first information indicates a correspondence between a first data radio bearer and a second data radio bearer, the first data radio bearer is a data radio bearer between the network device and the first communication apparatus, and the second data radio bearer is a data radio bearer between the first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus. Second information is sent by the network device to the second communication apparatus, where the second information indicates a correspondence between a first packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity of an universal user to network interface (Uu interface) of the second communication apparatus and a first radio link control (RLC) entity of an sidelink (SL) interface of the second communication apparatus, and the first RLC entity corresponds to the second data radio bearer.
