Abstract

A slot consistency verification method is provided. The method is applied to a fine granularity service scenario, and includes: a sending end receives first information from a receiving end, where the first information indicates that a receiving slot used by the receiving end to receive a fine granularity service is consistent with a sending slot used by the sending end to send the fine granularity service; and the sending end sends a data block to the receiving end, where the data block includes a first basic frame overhead and a basic frame payload, the basic frame payload is for bearing the fine granularity service, and the fine granularity service is borne in the sending slot. According to the application, it is ensured that the sending slot used is consistent with the receiving slot, thereby ensuring normal running of the fine granularity service.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A slot consistency verification method applied to a network device at a sending end, comprising:
receiving, first information from a receiving end, wherein the first information indicates that a receiving slot used by the receiving end to receive a fine granularity service is consistent with a sending slot used by the sending end to send the fine granularity service; and sending, a data block to the receiving end, wherein the data block comprises a first basic frame overhead and a basic frame payload, the basic frame payload is for bearing the fine granularity service, and the fine granularity service is borne in the sending slot.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein before receiving the first information, the method further comprises:
sending, a second basic frame overhead to the receiving end, wherein the second basic frame overhead carries first indication information, and the first indication information indicates that the sending slot has taken effect.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the second basic frame overhead comprises a C field, and the C field is for bearing the first indication information.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein before receiving the first information, the method further comprises:
sending, a third basic frame overhead to the receiving end, wherein the third basic frame overhead indicates the receiving end to check the sending slot, the third basic frame overhead comprises second information, and the second information is for identifying the sending slot.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the second information is a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value generated by the sending end based on the sending slot.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the sending slot occupies N slots; and the method further comprises:
determining, a first bit string based on the N slots, wherein N bits in the first bit string are in a one-to-one correspondence with the N slots, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 1; and encoding, the first bit string by using a CRC algorithm, to generate the CRC value.

7 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the sending slot occupies N slots; and the method further comprises:
sending, N third basic frame overheads to the receiving end, wherein the N third basic frame overheads are in a one-to-one correspondence with N pieces of indication information, the N pieces of indication information are in a one-to-one correspondence with the N slots, each piece of indication information is for identifying each slot, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

8 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the third basic frame overhead comprises a sub-slot identifier (sub-slot ID) field, and the sub-slot ID field is for bearing the second information.

9 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the third basic frame overhead carries check indication information, and the check indication information indicates that the third basic frame overhead is for checking a slot resource of the fine granularity service.

10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the third basic frame overhead comprises: a flag field or a reserved (RES) field, and the flag field or the reserved (RES) field is for bearing the check indication information.

11 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first information is borne in a reserved (RES) field of a basic frame overhead.

12 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, third information from the receiving end, wherein the third information indicates that the receiving slot used by the receiving end to receive the fine granularity service is inconsistent with the sending slot used by the sending end to send the fine granularity service; and sending, fourth information to the receiving end, wherein the fourth information indicates the receiving end to reconfigure the slot resource of the fine granularity service, so that the receiving slot is consistent with the sending slot.

13 . A slot consistency verification method applied to a network device at a receiving end, comprising:
sending, first information to a sending end, wherein the first information indicates that a receiving slot used by the receiving end to receive a fine granularity service is consistent with a sending slot used by the sending end to send the fine granularity service; and receiving, by the receiving end, a data block from the sending end, wherein the data block comprises a first basic frame overhead and a basic frame payload, the basic frame payload is for bearing the fine granularity service, and the fine granularity service is borne in the sending slot.

14 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein before sending the first information to the sending end, the method further comprises:
receiving, a second basic frame overhead from the sending end, wherein the second basic frame overhead carries first indication information, and the first indication information indicates that the sending slot has taken effect.

15 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein the second basic frame overhead comprises a C field, and the C field is for bearing the first indication information.

16 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein before sending the first information to the sending end, the method further comprises:
receiving, a third basic frame overhead from the sending end, wherein the third basic frame overhead indicates the receiving end to check the sending slot, the third basic frame overhead comprises second information, and the second information is for identifying the sending slot; and checking, based on the third overhead, whether the sending slot is consistent with the receiving slot.

17 . The method according to claim 16 , wherein the second information is a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value generated by the sending end based on the sending slot.

18 . The method according to claim 16 , wherein the sending slot occupies N slots; and the method further comprises:
receiving, N third basic frame overheads from the sending end, wherein the N third basic frame overheads are in a one-to-one correspondence with N pieces of indication information, the N pieces of indication information are in a one-to-one correspondence with the N slots, each piece of indication information is for identifying each slot, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

19 . The method according to claim 16 , wherein the third basic frame overhead comprises a sub-slot identifier (sub-slot ID) field, and the sub-slot ID field is for bearing the second information.

20 . The method according to claim 16 , wherein the third basic frame overhead carries check indication information, and the check indication information indicates that the third basic frame overhead is for checking a slot resource of the fine granularity service.
