2. The SCell state indication method according to claim 1 , wherein

when the value of the LCID is a fifth predetermined value, the state of the SCell corresponding to C i having a sixth predetermined value is indicated to be transited from a current state into a next state in a predetermined transition order.

3. The SCell state indication method according to claim 1 , wherein

when the value of the LCID is a first predetermined value, the state of the SCell corresponding to C i having a second predetermined value is indicated to he transited. into the third state;

when the value of the LCID is a third predetermined value, the state of the SCell corresponding to C i having a fourth predetermined value is indicated to leave the third state.

4. The SCell state indication method according to claim 3 , wherein the state transition indication information further comprises a second MAC CE;

the second MAC CE is used to indicate the SCell state transition from the third state into the activated state or the deactivated state.

5. A computer-readable storage medium storing therein a computer program, wherein the computer program is capable of being executed by a processor, to implement the SCell state indication method according to claim 1 .

6. The computer-readable storage medium according to claim 5 , wherein

when the value of the LCID is a first predetermined value, the state of the SCell corresponding to C i having a second predetermined value is indicated to be transited into the third state;

when the value of the LCID is a third predetermined value, the state of the SCell corresponding to C i having a fourth predetermined value is indicated to leave the third state.

7. The computer-readable storage medium according to claim 6 , wherein the state transition indication information further comprises a second MAC CE;

the second MAC CE is used to indicate the SCell state transition from the third state into the activated state or the deactivated state.

8. A Secondary Cell (SCell) state indication method for a User Equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving a state transition indication information transmitted by a network side device, the state transition indication information being used to indicate an SCell state transition between two of an activated state, a deactivated state and a third state; and

transiting the state of the SCell in accordance with the state transition indication information,

wherein the state transition indication information comprise a Logical Channel Identity (LCID) and a first MAC CE of N bits, where N is a positive integer;

the first MAC CE comprises M SCell sequence bits C i , where M is a positive integer, and i is a n integer smaller than or equal to M;

a value of the LCID and a value of C i are used to indicate the state transition of the SCell corresponding to C i between two of the activated state, the deactivated state and the third state.

9. The SCell state indication method according to claim 8 , wherein the transiting the state of the SCell in accordance with the state transition indication information comprises:

when the value of the LCID is a first predetermined value, transiting the state of the SCell corresponding to C i having a second predetermined value into the third state;

when the value of the LCID is a third predetermined value, enabling the state of the SCell corresponding to CE having a fourth predetermined value to leave the third state.

10. The SCell state indication method according to claim 8 , wherein the transiting the state of the SCell in accordance with the state transition indication information comprises:

when the value of the LCID is a fifth predetermined value, transiting the state of the SCell corresponding to CE having a sixth predetermined value from a current state into a next state in a predetermined transition order.

11. The SCell state indication method according to claim 9 , wherein the state transition indication information further comprises a second MAC CE;

the second MAC CE is used to indicate the SCell state transition from the third state into the activated state or the deactivated state.

12. A User Equipment (UE), comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and capable of being executed by the processor, wherein the processor is used to execute the computer program, to implement the SCell state indication method according to claim 8 .

13. The UE according to 12 , wherein the transiting the state of the SCell in accordance with the state transition indication information comprises:

when the value of the LCID is a first predetermined value, transiting the state of the SCell corresponding to C i having a second predetermined value into the third state;

when the value of the LCID is a third predetermined value, enabling the state of the SCell corresponding to C i having a fourth predetermined value to leave the third state.

14. The UE, according to 54 , wherein the transiting the state of the SCell in accordance with the state transition indication information comprises:

when the value of the LCID is a fifth predetermined value, transiting the state of the SCell corresponding to C i having a sixth predetermined value from a current state into a next state in a predetermined transition order.

15. The UE according to claim 13 , wherein the state transition indication information further comprises a second MAC CE;

the second MAC CE is used to indicate the SCell state transition from the third state into the activated state or the deactivated state.

16. A computer-readable storage medium storing therein a computer program, wherein the computer program is capable of being executed by a processor, to implement the SCell state indication method according to claim 8 .

17. A network side device, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and capable of being executed by the processor, wherein the processor is used to execute the computer program to:
