S112: The access network device determines a downlink data transmission length of a first subframe transmitted by a first cell, where the downlink data transmission length of the first subframe is less than a first threshold.
Exemplarily, a data transmission start position of the first subframe is on a subframe boundary, and the first subframe is a last subframe in one burst data transmission, referring to
In an embodiment of the present invention, step 112 further includes: sending, by the access network device, control information, where the control information indicates that the downlink data transmission length of the first subframe is less than the first threshold. It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present invention, the sending, by the access network device, control information may include: sending, by a cell served by the access network device, the control information. The access network device herein may be a base station, for example, a first access network device in
