Abstract

Disclosed by the embodiments of the present application are a wireless communication method, a terminal device and a network device, the method comprising: a terminal device receives a first bit map sent by a network device, the first bit map being used for indicating time-domain resources allocated by the network device to the terminal device in a first frequency-domain resource unit; and the terminal device carries out data transmission with the network device on the time-domain resources indicated by the first bit map. The method, terminal device and network device according to the embodiments of the present application may improve the flexibility of time domain scheduling.

Claims (27)

1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

receiving, by a terminal device, a first bitmap from a network device, wherein the first bitmap is to indicate one or more time-domain resource units allocated for the terminal device by the network device in a first frequency-domain resource unit; and

performing, by the terminal device, data transmission with the network device on the q or more time-domain resource units indicated by the first bitmap,

wherein each bit in the first bitmap corresponds to at least one time-domain resource unit in the first frequency-domain resource unit, and a value of each bit in the first bitmap is to indicate whether the at least one time-domain resource unit corresponding to the bit is used for data transmission of the terminal device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of bits in the first bitmap corresponds to a respective one of time-domain resource units in the first frequency-domain resource unit.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a left-to-right sequence of bits in the first bitmap is consistent with a sequence of time-domain resource units in the first frequency-domain resource unit.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein h time-domain resource unit comprises at least one of a symbol, a symbol group, a slot, or a mini-slot.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the terminal device, second indication information from the network device, wherein the second indication information is to indicate at least one frequency-domain resource unit allocated for the terminal device by the network device, and the at least one frequency-domain resource unit comprises the first frequency-domain resource unit.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second indication information is a third bitmap, each of bits in the third bitmap corresponds to a respective one of frequency-domain resource units in a system bandwidth, and a value of each bit in the third bitmap is to indicate whether the frequency-domain resource unit corresponding to the bit is used for data transmission of the terminal device.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second indication information is to indicate at least two of a starting position of the at least one frequency-domain resource unit in a system bandwidth, an ending position of the at least one frequency-domain resource unit in the system bandwidth, or a frequency-domain length of the at least one frequency-domain resource unit.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first frequency-domain resource unit comprises a physical resource block (PRB), a resource block group (RBG), or a sub-band.

9. A terminal device, comprising:

an input interface, configured to receive a first bitmap from a network device, wherein the first bitmap is to indicate one or more time-domain resource units allocated for the terminal device by the network device in a first frequency-domain resource unit; and

an output interface, configured to perform data transmission with the network device on the one or more time-domain resource units indicated by the first bitmap,

wherein each bit in the first bitmap corresponds to at least one time-domain resource unit in the first frequency-domain resource unit, and a value of each bit in the first bitmap is to indicate whether the at least one time-domain resource unit corresponding to the bit is used for data transmission of the terminal device.

10. The terminal device of claim 9 , wherein each of bits in the first bitmap corresponds to a respective one of time-domain resource units in the first frequency-domain resource unit.

11. The terminal device of claim 9 , wherein a left-to-right sequence of bits in the first bitmap is consistent with a sequence of time-domain resource units in the first frequency-domain resource unit.

12. The terminal device of claim 9 , wherein a time-domain resource unit comprises at least one of a symbol, a symbol group, a slot, or a mini-slot.

13. The terminal device of claim 9 , wherein the input interface is further configured to receive first indication information from the network device, wherein the first indication information is to indicate a time-domain resource unit not available for data transmission of the terminal device in the first frequency-domain resource unit, and

the output interface is specifically configured to:

perform data transmission with the network device on the one or more time-domain resource units indicated by the first bitmap, other than the time-domain resource unit indicated by the first indication information.

14. The terminal device of claim 13 , wherein the first indication information is a second bitmap, each bit in the second bitmap corresponds to at least one time-domain resource unit in the first frequency-domain resource unit, and a value of each bit in the second bitmap is to indicate whether the at least one time-domain resource unit corresponding to the bit is used for data transmission of the terminal device.

15. The terminal device of claim 9 , wherein the input interface is further configured to receive second indication information from the network device, wherein the second indication information is to indicate at least one frequency-domain resource unit allocated for the terminal device by the network device, and the at least one frequency-domain resource unit comprises the first frequency-domain resource unit.

16. The terminal device of claim 15 , wherein the second indication information is a third bitmap, each of bits in the third bitmap corresponds to a respective one of frequency-domain resource units in a system bandwidth, and a value of each bit in the third bitmap is to indicate whether the frequency-domain resource unit corresponding to the bit is use for data transmission of the terminal device.

17. The terminal device of claim 15 , wherein the second indication information is to indicate at least two of a starting position of the at least one frequency-domain resource unit in a system bandwidth, an ending position of the at least one frequency-domain resource unit in the system bandwidth, or a frequency-domain length of the at least one frequency-domain resource unit.

18. The terminal device of claim 9 , wherein the first frequency-domain resource unit comprises a physical resource block (PRB), a resource block group (RBG), or a sub-band.
