Abstract

The present disclosure provides a resource mapping and transmission method and a corresponding base station and user equipment. The method comprises: generating radio frames for NB-IoT TDD, and in the radio frames for NB-IoT TDD, mapping a Narrowband Primary Synchronization Signal “NPSS,” a Narrowband Secondary Synchronization Signal “NSSS,” a Narrowband Physical Broadcast Channel “NPBCH,” and a Narrowband System Information Block Type 1 “SIB1-NB” to subframes selected from subframes 0, 4, 5, and 9 of the radio frames, wherein the NPSS, the NSSS, the NPBCH, and the SIB1-NB are respectively mapped into different subframes and are not respectively mapped into the subframes 5, 9, 0, and 4; and transmitting the generated radio frames. According to embodiments of the present invention, user equipment supporting NB-IoT TDD can exit a search for an NB-IoT TDD cell as early as possible.
