Abstract

A method and device for transmitting information, for solving the problem that at present there is no solution configured to use a group common physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) to transmit information related with a group of terminals. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a base station determines information of a group of terminals to be sent; and the base station uses, within a set of resources of a group common PDCCH corresponding to the group of terminals, a fixed subcarrier space or different subcarrier spaces to send the information of the group of terminals.

Claims (38)

1. A method for transmitting information, comprising following steps:

determining, by a base station information of a group of terminals to be sent; and

using, by the base station, within a set of resources of a group common physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) corresponding to the group of terminals, different subcarrier spaces to send the information of the group of terminals;

wherein the different subcarrier spaces comprise subcarrier spaces used by terminals of the group of terminals during sending and receiving of data in a same slot or, the different subcarrier spaces comprise subcarrier spaces corresponding to each slot;

wherein in response to that the different subcarrier spaces comprise subcarrier spaces used by terminals of the group of terminals during sending and receiving of data in a same slot, the using, by the base station, within the set of resources of the group common PDCCH corresponding to the group of terminals, different subcarrier spaces to send the information of the group of terminals comprises:

for any subcarrier space in the slot, using, by the base station, within a set of resources of a group common PDCCH corresponding to the subcarrier space, the subcarrier space to send the information of the group of terminals on the group common PDCCH; or,

wherein in response to that the different subcarrier spaces comprise subcarrier spaces corresponding to each slot, the using, by the base station, within the set of resources of the group common PDCCH corresponding to the group of terminals, different subcarrier spaces to send the information of the group of terminals comprises:

for any slot, using, by the base station, within a set of resources of a group common PDCCH corresponding to the slot, a subcarrier space corresponding to the slot to receive and send the information of the group of terminals on the group common PDCCH.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the base station informs terminals of a subcarrier space used for sending a group common PDCCH through an explicit signaling.

3. A method for transmitting information, comprising following steps:

detecting, by a terminal a group common physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) corresponding to a group of terminals where the terminal is located; and

using, by the terminal, within a set of resources of a group common PDCCH corresponding to the group of terminals, different subcarrier spaces to receive information of the group of terminals sent from a base station;

wherein the different subcarrier spaces are subcarrier spaces used by the terminals during sending and receiving of data in a same slot or, the different subcarrier spaces comprise subcarrier spaces corresponding to each slot;

wherein in response to that the different subcarrier spaces are subcarrier spaces used by the terminals during sending and receiving of data in a same slot, the using, by the terminal, within the set of resources of the group common PDCCH corresponding to the group of terminals, different subcarrier spaces to receive the information of the group of terminals sent from the base station comprises:

for any subcarrier space in the slot, using, by the terminal, within a set of resources of a group common PDCCH corresponding to the subcarrier space, the subcarrier space to receive the information of the group of terminals on the group common PDCCH; or,

wherein in response to that the different subcarrier spaces comprise subcarrier spaces corresponding to each slot, the using, by the terminal, within the set of resources of the group common PDCCH corresponding to the group of terminals, different subcarrier spaces to receive the information of the group of terminals sent from the base station comprises:

for any slot, using, by the terminal, within a set of resources of a group common PDCCH corresponding to the slot, a subcarrier space corresponding to the slot to receive the information of the group of terminals sent from the base station on the group common PDCCH.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein a subcarrier space used for sending a group common PDCCH by terminals is informed by a base station through an explicit signaling.

5. A base station, comprising:

a processor configured to send and receive data through a transceiver, read programs in a storage, and execute procedures as follows:

determining information of a group of terminals to be sent; and using, within a set of resources of a group common physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) corresponding to the group of terminals, different subcarrier spaces to send the information of the group of terminals; and

the transceiver configured to receive and send data under a control of the processor;

wherein the different subcarrier spaces comprise subcarrier spaces used by terminals of the group of terminals during sending and receiving of data in the same slot or, the different subcarrier spaces comprise subcarrier spaces corresponding to each slot;

wherein in response to that the different subcarrier spaces comprise subcarrier spaces used by terminals of the group of terminals during sending and receiving of data in the same slot, the using within the set of resources of the group common PDCCH corresponding to the group of terminals, different subcarrier spaces to send the information of the group of terminals comprises:

for any subcarrier space in the slot, using within a set of resources of a group common PDCCH corresponding to the subcarrier space, the subcarrier space to send the information of the group of terminals on the group common PDCCH; or,

wherein in response to that the different subcarrier spaces comprise subcarrier spaces corresponding to each slot, the using within the set of resources of the group common PDCCH corresponding to the group of terminals, different subcarrier spaces to send the information of the group of terminals comprises:

for any slot, using within a set of resources of a group common PDCCH corresponding to the slot, a subcarrier space corresponding to the slot to receive and send the information of the group of terminals on the group common PDCCH.

6. The base station according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to execute procedures to: inform terminals of a subcarrier space used for sending a group common PDCCH through an explicit signaling.

7. A terminal, comprising:

a processor configured to send and receive data through a transceiver, read programs in a storage, and executing procedures as follows:

detecting a group common PDCCH corresponding to a group of terminals where the terminal is located; and using, within a set of resources of a group common PDCCH corresponding to the group of terminals, different subcarrier spaces to receive information of the group of terminals sent from a base station; and

the transceiver configured to receive and send data under a control of the processor;

wherein the different subcarrier spaces are subcarrier spaces used by the terminals during sending and receiving of data in the same slot or, the different subcarrier spaces comprise subcarrier spaces corresponding to each slot;

wherein in response to that the different subcarrier spaces are subcarrier spaces used by the terminals during sending and receiving of data in the same slot, the using, within the set of resources of the group common PDCCH corresponding to the group of terminals, different subcarrier spaces to receive the information of the group of terminals sent from the base station comprises:

for any subcarrier space in the slot, using within a set of resources of a group common PDCCH corresponding to the subcarrier space, the subcarrier space to receive the information of the group of terminals on the group common PDCCH; or,

wherein in response to that, the different subcarrier spaces comprise subcarrier spaces corresponding to each slot, the using within the set of resources of the group common PDCCH corresponding to the group of terminals, different subcarrier spaces to receive the information of the group of terminals sent from the base station comprises:
