Abstract
A method is provided for assisting data transmission on a first carrier by indicating a termination point of data transmission in a transmitting device and apparatus thereof, wherein the method comprises the steps of: A. transmitting data on the carrier to a receiving device in a first subframe; and B. transmitting downlink control information to the receiving device; wherein the downlink control information includes a termination point indication for indicating a termination point of the data in the first subframe. The method and apparatus could improve the utilization of subframe and transmission capacity, and enable LTE to satisfy the regulations for unlicensed operation with high spectral efficiency.
