Abstract

A communication technique for convergence between an IoT technology and a 5 th generation (5G) communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate beyond a 4 th generation (4G) system, and a system thereof is provided. The method includes intelligence services (for example, smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail businesses, security and safety related services, and the like.) On the basis of a 5G communication technology and an IoT-related technology. A method includes determining a scheduling-related parameter for at least one user, and transmitting scheduling information indicating the scheduling-related parameter to a radio unit (RU), wherein the scheduling information includes a first section extension field including information relating to a user equipment identifier (ueID) related to the at least one user, and a second section extension field including information relating to a number of ueIDs corresponding to each user.

Claims (24)

1. A method of a distributed unit (DU) of a base station, the method comprising:

determining a scheduling-related parameter for users; and

transmitting scheduling information including the scheduling-related parameter to a radio unit (RU), wherein the scheduling information comprises:

a first section extension field comprising information relating to user equipment identifiers (ueIDs) related to the users, and

a second section extension field comprising information relating to a number of ueIDs per user,

wherein each user of the users corresponds to one or more ueIDs,

wherein the number of ueIDs corresponding to each user of the users is indicated by the information relating to the number of ueIDs per user, and

wherein for each user of the users, the first section extension field comprises same ueID repeated as many times as the number of layers of each user of the users.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduling-related parameter comprises one or more ueIDs corresponding to each user of the users, the number of ueIDs corresponding to each user of the users, a number of the users to be scheduled, and a number of layers of each user of the users.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first section extension field comprises as many different ueIDs as the number of the users to be scheduled through the scheduling information.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more ueIDs corresponding to each user of the users have as many consecutive values as the number of ueIDs corresponding to each user of the users.

5. A distributed unit (DU) device of a base station, the device comprising:

a connector configured to transmit or receive a signal to or from a radio unit (RU); and

at least one processor configured to:

determine a scheduling-related parameter for users, and

transmit, to the RU, scheduling information including the scheduling-related parameter, wherein the scheduling information comprises:

a first section extension field comprising information relating to user equipment identifiers (ueIDs) related to the users, and

a second section extension field comprising information relating to a number of ueIDs per user,

wherein each user of the users corresponds to one or more ueIDs,

wherein the number of ueIDs corresponding to each user of the users is indicated by the information relating to the number of ueIDs per user, and

wherein for each user of the users, the first section extension field comprises same ueID repeated as many times as the number of layers of each user of the users.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the scheduling-related parameter comprises one or more ueIDs corresponding to each user of the users, the number of ueIDs corresponding to each user of the users, a number of the users to be scheduled, and a number of layers of each user of the users.

7. The device of claim 5 , wherein the first section extension field comprises as many different ueIDs as the number of the users to be scheduled through the scheduling information.

8. The device of claim 6 , wherein the one or more ueIDs corresponding to each user of the users have as many consecutive values as the number of ueIDs corresponding to each user of the users.
