Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a scheduling method and device. AUE receives a first signaling firstly and transmits a wireless signal on a target time frequency resource. The first signaling indicates a first time frequency resource, and the first time frequency resource includes a second time frequency resource. The target time frequency resource includes a time frequency resource of the first time frequency resource except the second time frequency resource. The target and the second time frequency resources are orthogonal. The first time frequency resource includes T 1 sub frames in a time domain, and includes P 1 sub carriers in a frequency domain. The second time frequency resource includes T 2 sub frames of T 1 sub frames and P 1 sub carriers in a time domain. T 1 and P 1 are a positive integer, T 2 is smaller than T 1 . A position of the second time frequency resource in the first time frequency resource is fixed.
