Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for transmitting pattern information. The method for transmitting pattern information includes obtaining pattern information; and sending the pattern information to UE. The first pattern information indicates that the spectrum of the first cell is allocated to the first RAT in a first plurality of sub-frames, and that the spectrum of the first cell is allocated to the second RAT in a second plurality of sub-frames. The first pattern information enables the UE to select any sub-frame in the first plurality of sub-frames to measure a CRS if the UE RAT pattern corresponds to the first RAT, or enables the UE to select any sub-frame in the second plurality of sub-frames to measure the CRS if the UE RAT pattern corresponds to the second RAT. The embodiments of the present invention improve scheduling accuracy and efficiency.
