Abstract

A method includes: receiving, by a network device, first information, second information, and third information from a terminal using a first component carrier, where the first information includes a power headroom of the first component carrier, the second information indicates whether transmit power of the terminal is equal to maximum available transmit power of the terminal, the third information indicates a difference between the maximum available transmit power and transmit power of a second component carrier, and a subcarrier spacing of the first component carrier is greater than a subcarrier spacing of the second component carrier; and scheduling, by the network device, uplink transmission of the terminal based on the first information, the second information, and the third information, where uplink transmit power of the first component carrier does not exceed the difference.

Claims (48)

1. A terminal, comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the processor, the program including instructions for:

sending first information, second information, and third information to a network device using a first component carrier, wherein the first component carrier is one of a plurality of component carriers configured by the network device for the terminal, the first information comprises a power headroom of the first component carrier, the second information indicates whether a transmit power of the terminal is equal to a maximum available transmit power of the terminal, the third information indicates a difference between the maximum available transmit power and a transmit power of a second component carrier of the plurality of component carriers, and a subcarrier spacing of the first component carrier is greater than a subcarrier spacing of the second component carrier; and

performing uplink transmission under scheduling performed by the network device based on the first information, the second information, and the third information, wherein an uplink transmit power of the first component carrier does not exceed the difference between the maximum available transmit power and the transmit power of the second component carrier of the plurality of component carriers.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the subcarrier spacing of the first component carrier is greater than a subcarrier spacing of any other component carrier in the plurality of component carriers.

3. A network device, comprising:

a transceiver, configured to receive first information, second information, and third information that are sent by a terminal using a first component carrier, wherein the first component carrier is one of a plurality of component carriers configured by the network device for the terminal, the first information comprises a power headroom of the first component carrier, the second information indicates whether a transmit power of the terminal is equal to a maximum available transmit power of the terminal, the third information indicates a difference between the maximum available transmit power and a transmit power of a second component carrier of the plurality of component carriers, and a subcarrier spacing of the first component carrier is greater than a subcarrier spacing of the second component carrier;

a processor; and

a computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the processor, the program including instructions for:

scheduling uplink transmission of the terminal based on the first information, the second information, and the third information, wherein an uplink transmit power of the first component carrier does not exceed the difference between the maximum available transmit power and the transmit power of the second component carrier of the plurality of component carriers.

4. The network device according to claim 3 , wherein the subcarrier spacing of the first component carrier is greater than a subcarrier spacing of any other component carrier in the plurality of component carriers.

5. The network device according to claim 3 , wherein the program includes instructions for:

determining, based on the first information, that the power headroom of the first component carrier is greater than 0;

determining, based on the second information, that the transmit power of the terminal is equal to the maximum available transmit power of the terminal; and

reducing, based on the third information, a frequency domain resource that is allocated to the terminal in a first slot on the first component carrier, wherein the first slot is after a second slot, and the second slot is a slot in which the terminal sends the first information using the first component carrier.

6. The network device according to claim 3 , wherein the program includes instructions for:

determining, based on the first information, that the power headroom of the first component carrier is greater than 0;

determining, based on the second information, that the transmit power of the terminal is not equal to the maximum available transmit power of the terminal; and

increasing, based on the third information, a frequency domain resource that is allocated to the terminal in a first slot on the first component carrier, wherein the first slot is after a second slot, and the second slot is a slot in which the terminal sends the first information using the first component carrier.

7. The network device according to claim 3 , wherein the program includes instructions for:

determining, based on the first information, that the power headroom of the first component carrier is less than 0;

determining, based on the second information, that the transmit power of the terminal is not equal to the maximum available transmit power of the terminal; and

8. The network device according to claim 3 , wherein the program includes instructions for:

determining, based on the first information, that the power headroom of the first component carrier is less than 0;
