Abstract

A method for sending a downlink transmission is provided. The method includes sending the downlink transmission to a user equipment (UE). A downlink control information (DCI) in the downlink transmission includes transport block size (TBS) scaling indication information, and the TBS scaling indication information is used for indicating a scaling factor used in performing TBS scaling.

Claims (43)

1 . A method for sending a downlink transmission, comprising:

sending, by a base station, the downlink transmission to a user equipment (UE), wherein a downlink control information (DCI) in the downlink transmission comprises transport block size (TBS) scaling indication information, and the TBS scaling indication information is used for indicating a scaling factor used in performing TBS scaling,

wherein the DCI comprising the TBS scaling indication information comprises M bits, wherein N bits of the M bits are used for indicating power control, and (M−N) bits of the M bits are used for indicating the TBS scaling indication information, wherein N is less than M, and N and M are positive integers.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the DCI comprising the TBS scaling indication information does not comprise a field used for indicating power control.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein

the DCI comprising the TBS scaling indication information comprises T bits, wherein S bits of the T bits are used for indicating a modulation and coding scheme (MCS), and (T−S) bits of the T bits are used for indicating the TBS scaling indication information, wherein S is less than T, and S and T are positive integers.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein

the S bits used for indicating the MCS are used for indicating the MCS of a low order and a low bit rate.

5 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein

the TBS scaling indication information corresponds to a combined field in the DCI comprising the TBS scaling indication information, and the combined field comprises at least one bit used for indicating power control and at least one bit used for indicating the MCS.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein

the TBS scaling indication information corresponds to T bits used for indicating an MCS, T is a positive integer, and the T bits, corresponding to the TBS scaling indication information and used for indicating the MCS, further indicate the scaling factor used in performing the TBS scaling.

7 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein

the T bits, corresponding to the TBS scaling indication information and used for indicating the MCS, indicate X index values, each one of the X index values corresponds to a scaling factor, wherein X is less than Y, Y is a maximum number of indexes that the T bits used for indicating the MCS are capable of indicating, and X and Y are positive integers.

8 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein

at least two sets of index values of the X index values correspond to a same scaling factor subset.

9 . A method for receiving a downlink transmission, comprising:

receiving, by a user equipment (UE), the downlink transmission from a base station, wherein a downlink control information (DCI) in the downlink transmission comprises transport block size (TBS) scaling indication information, and the TBS scaling indication information is used for indicating a scaling factor used in performing TBS scaling,

wherein the DCI comprising the TBS scaling indication information comprises M bits, wherein N bits of the M bits are used for indicating power control, and (M−N) bits of the M bits are used for indicating the TBS scaling indication information, wherein N is less than M, and N and M are positive integers.

10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein

the DCI comprising the TBS scaling indication information does not comprise a field used for indicating power control.

11 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein

12 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein

the S bits used for indicating the MCS are used for indicating the MCS of a low order and a low bit rate.

13 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein

the TBS scaling indication information corresponds to a combined field in the DCI comprising the TBS scaling indication information, and the combined field comprises at least one bit used for indicating power control and at least one bit used for indicating the MCS.

14 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein

the TBS scaling indication information corresponds to T bits used for indicating an MCS, T is a positive integer, and the T bits, corresponding to the TBS scaling indication information and used for indicating the MCS, further indicate the scaling factor used in performing the TBS scaling.

15 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein

16 . The method according to claim 15 , wherein

at least two sets of index values of the X index values correspond to a same scaling factor subset.

17 . A mobile terminal, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory, configured to store an executable instruction executable by the processor; wherein

the processor is configured to execute the executable instruction in the memory to implement steps of the method for receiving the downlink transmission according to claim 9 .

18 . A network device, comprising:

a processor; and
