Abstract

This application relates to a scheduling method and a device. In the scheduling method, a base station sends, at a first moment, uplink grant (UL GRANT) information to a terminal that is to perform uplink data transmission; the base station sends, at a second moment, downlink data to a terminal that is determined by the base station and that is to perform downlink data transmission, where the second moment is a moment at which the terminal that is to perform uplink data transmission sends uplink data after receiving the uplink grant information at the first moment.

Claims (28)

1. A scheduling method, comprising:

sending, by a base station at a first moment, downlink control information to a first terminal for downlink data transmission, wherein the downlink control information comprises indication information;

sending, by the base station at the first moment, uplink grant information to a second terminal for uplink data transmission; and

sending, by the base station at a second moment, downlink data to the first terminal, wherein the second moment is a moment at which the base station receives uplink data from the second terminal after the second terminal receives the uplink grant information at the first moment; wherein

the indication information includes at least one of the following:

information that indicates that the second terminal has a full-duplex capability; or

information that indicates that the first terminal is in a full-duplex state.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the indication information indicates an uplink-downlink part configuration relationship of a subframe for the terminal that is to perform uplink data transmission.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the uplink-downlink part configuration relationship of the subframe comprises a configuration relationship between a part used for downlink data transmission and a part used for uplink data transmission in the subframe.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein

the indication information is used to instruct to receive the downlink data in an n th subframe after a current subframe.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein

the second terminal and the first terminal are a same terminal that performs uplink transmission and downlink transmission at a same moment and a same frequency; or

the second terminal and the first terminal are two different terminals, and the two different terminals perform uplink transmission and downlink transmission at a same moment and a same frequency.

6. A scheduling method, comprising:

receiving, by a first terminal for downlink data transmission, downlink control information from a base station at a first moment, wherein the downlink control information comprises indication information, wherein the indication information includes at least one of the following: information that indicates that a second terminal for uplink data transmission has a full-duplex capability, or information that indicates that the first terminal is in a full-duplex state; and

determining, by the first terminal according to the indication information, to receive, at a second moment, downlink data from the base station, wherein the second moment is a moment at which the second terminal sends uplink data after receiving uplink grant information from the base station at the first moment, and the first terminal and the second terminal are terminals that are to perform data transmission within a same moment and at a same frequency,

wherein the determining, by the first terminal according to the indication information, to receive, at a second moment, downlink data from the base station comprises:

determining, by the first terminal based on a time interval between a moment for receiving the uplink grant information using a full-duplex FD subframe and a moment for performing uplink data transmission, to receive, at the second moment, the downlink data from the base station.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the indication information is used to instruct to receive the downlink data in an n th subframe after a current subframe.

8. An apparatus, comprising:

a memory, the memory configured to store a computer program instruction; and

at least one processor, the at least one processor configured to execute the computer program instruction stored in the memory to perform the following operations:

sending downlink control information to a first terminal for downlink data transmission at a first moment, wherein the downlink control information comprises indication information;

sending, uplink grant information to a second terminal for uplink data transmission at the first moment; and

sending, downlink data to the first terminal at a second moment, wherein the second moment is a moment at which the apparatus receives uplink data from the second terminal after the second terminal receives the uplink grant information at the first moment;

wherein the indication information includes at least one of the following: information that indicates that the second terminal has a full-duplex capability; or information that indicates that the first terminal is in a full-duplex state.
