Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and provides a data transmission method and a data transmission device, so as to solve the problem in the related art where, for 5G application scenarios, in the case that an uplink scheduling algorithm for a conventional 4G system continues to be used, a large number of control signaling overheads are required due to the meteoric growth in the number of UEs to be connected.
