Abstract

A resource configuration method, resource determination method, apparatuses thereof and communication system. The resource configuration apparatus comprises: a first configuring unit configured to configure one or more additional resource sets corresponding to each control resource set or each group of control resource sets. Hence, payload of downlink control information may be reduced, and currently existed problems may be solved.

Claims (29)

1. A resource configuration apparatus, comprising:

a controller configured to configure one or more resource sets corresponding to one group of control resource sets; and

a transmitter configured to transmit indication information indicating whether the resource sets are available for data transmission, the indication information comprises a predetermined number of bits,

wherein, one bit at a predetermined position in the indication information correspondingly indicates whether the one or more resource sets, which are configured corresponding to one group of control resource sets, are available for data transmission; and

wherein the controller further configured to divide all control resource sets of a user equipment (UE) and the one or more resource sets corresponding to the group of control resource sets into a first predetermined number of groups.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the transmitter is further configured to transmit to a UE, a radio resource control signaling comprising configuration information that comprises information on one or more resource sets corresponding to one group of control resource sets.

3. The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein an information element in the radio resource control signaling comprises information of the group of control resource sets and information of one or more resource sets configured corresponding to the group of control resource sets.

4. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the information element further comprises a first group index of a group where the group of control resource sets is located and a first group index of a group where one or more resource sets configured corresponding to the group of control resource sets is/are located.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the indication information is transmitted via a physical downlink channel in the control resource sets.

6. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined number is equal to the number of the resource sets corresponding to the group of control resource sets.

7. A resource determination apparatus, comprising:

a controller configured to determine one or more resource sets corresponding to one group of control resource sets and configured by a network side; and

a receiver configured to receive indication information indicating whether the resource sets are available for data transmission, the indication information comprises a predetermined number of bits,

wherein, one bit at a predetermined position in the indication information correspondingly indicates whether the one or more resource sets, which are configured corresponding to one group of control resource sets, are available for data transmission; and

wherein, all control resource sets of a user equipment (UE) and the one or more resource sets corresponding to the group of control resource sets are divided into a first predetermined number of groups.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the controller further configured to detect a physical downlink channel in the control resource set, to determine whether one or more resource sets, which are configured corresponding to the group of control resource sets, are available for data transmission; and

perform a corresponding operation on the resource sets according to a determined result.

9. A resource configuration method, comprising:

configuring one or more resource sets corresponding to one group of control resource sets; and

transmitting indication information indicating whether the resource sets are available for data transmission, the indication information comprises a predetermined number of bits,

wherein, one bit at a predetermined position in the indication information correspondingly indicates whether the one or more resource sets, which are configured corresponding to one group of control resource sets, are available for data transmission; and

wherein the method further comprises:

dividing all control resource sets of a user equipment and the one or more resource sets corresponding to the group control resource sets into a first predetermined number of groups.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises:

transmitting to a user equipment, a radio resource control signaling comprising configuration information that comprises information on one or more resource sets corresponding to one group of control resource sets.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein an information element in the radio resource control signaling comprises information of the group of control resource sets and information of one or more resource sets configured corresponding to the group of control resource sets.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the information element further comprises a group index of a group where the group of control resource sets is located and a group index of a group where one or more resource sets configured corresponding to the group of control resource sets is/are located.

13. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the indication information is transmitted via a physical downlink channel in the control resource sets.
