Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a resource management method and a related device. The resource management method includes: receiving, by UE, signaling for releasing resource sent by a base station, where the signaling for releasing resource indicates information of resource location; and determining, based on the information of resource location, a time-frequency resource corresponding to the information of resource location in allocated resources already allocated by a network side to the UE, and then releasing the time-frequency resource. The UE may release some of the allocated resources based on an indication of the base station.

determining and releasing the time-frequency resource comprises:

determining, based on the information of the location in the time domain and the information of the location in the frequency domain, a target time period corresponding to the information of the location in the time domain and a target frequency corresponding to the information of the location in the frequency domain in the allocated resources; and

releasing the time-frequency resource comprising the target time period and the target frequency.

4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising:

determining whether the time-frequency resource comprising the target time period and the target frequency overlaps a first time-frequency resource; and

when at least one time-frequency sub-resource in the time-frequency resource comprising the target time period and the target frequency overlaps the first time-frequency resource, releasing a remaining time-frequency sub-resource in the time-frequency resource other than the at least one time-frequency sub-resource, wherein a time-frequency location of the first time-frequency resource is known by UEs in a serving cell in which the UE is located.

determining and releasing the time-frequency resource comprises:

determining, based on the information of the location in the time domain, a target time period corresponding to the information of the location in the time domain in the allocated resources, and determining, as a target frequency, each frequency allocated to the UE in the target time period; and

releasing the time-frequency resource comprising the target time period and the target frequency.

6. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the information of the location in the time domain comprises a quantity of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the allocated resources comprise a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) resource, and the first frequency comprised in the time-frequency resource comprises the part or all of the frequency allocated to the UE in the target TTI in the SPS resource.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

setting uplink transmit power on a released part of the target TTI to zero.

9. A communications apparatus for a user equipment (UE), comprising a processor, and a memory;
