Resource configuration method, resource determination method, apparatuses thereof and communication system

1. A base station comprising:

a controller configured to:

configure one or more resource sets, and

configure a predetermined number of groups by dividing the one or more resource sets; and

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

one bit at a predetermined position in the indication information corresponding to any one of the predetermined number of groups, at least two different bits at different positions in the indication information corresponding to different groups.

2. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein

the one or more resource sets corresponding to a control resource set.

3. The base station according to claim 2 , wherein

the control resource set corresponds to one group of control resource sets.

4. The base station according to claim 1 wherein

the transmitter is further configured to transmit to a terminal, a radio resource control signaling including configuration information that includes information on the one or more resource sets.

5. The base station according to claim 4 , wherein an information element in the radio resource control signaling includes information of a group of control resource sets and information of one or more resource sets configured corresponding to the group of control resource sets.

6. The base station according to claim 5 , wherein the information element further includes a first group index of a group where the group of control resource sets is located and the first group index of the group where one or more resource sets configured corresponding to the group of control resource sets is/are located.

7. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the indication information is transmitted via a physical downlink channel.

8. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined number is equal to the number of the one or more resource sets.

9. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein any one of the predetermined number of group includes a control resource set, and

at least one of the one or more resource sets corresponding to the control resource set.

10. A terminal comprising:

a controller configured to determine one or more resource sets configured by a base station; and

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

wherein, one bit at a predetermined position in the indication information corresponding to any one of a predetermined number of groups, at least two different bits at different positions in the indication information corresponding to different groups, the predetermined number of groups being configured by dividing the one or more resource sets.

11. The terminal according to claim 10 , wherein the controller further configured to:

detect a physical downlink channel to determine whether one or more resource sets are available for data transmission, and

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

12. The terminal according to claim 10 , wherein

the one or more resource sets corresponding to a control resource set.

13. The terminal according to claim 12 , wherein

the control resource set corresponds to one group of control resource sets.

14. The terminal according to claim 10 , wherein

the receiver is further configured to receive, from the base station, a radio resource control signaling including configuration information that includes information on the one or more resource sets.

15. The terminal according to claim 10 , wherein any one of the predetermined number of groups includes a control resource set, and

at least one of the one or more resource sets corresponding to the control resource set.

16. A communication system comprising:

a base station configured to:

configure one or more resource sets and a control resource set, and

transmit indication information indicating whether the resource sets are available for data transmission, the indication information including a predetermined number of bits; and

a terminal configured to receive the indication information, wherein

one bit at a predetermined position in the indication information correspondingly indicates whether the one or more resource sets are available for data transmission, and

wherein the base station further configured to configure a predetermined number of groups by dividing the control resource set and the one or more resource sets,

at least two different bits at different positions in the indication information corresponding to different groups.
