Abstract

A scheduling method and device in a UE and a base station. The UE receives a first signaling and a wireless signal on a target time frequency resource. The first signaling indicates a first time frequency resource that 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 time and second time frequency resources are orthogonal, or the first signaling indicates whether the target time frequency resource includes the second time frequency resource. The first time frequency resource includes T1 sub frames in a time domain and P1 sub carriers in a frequency domain. The second time frequency resource includes T2 sub frames of the T1 sub frames in a time domain. The T1 and the P1 are a positive integer respectively, and the T2 is smaller than the T1.
