Abstract

This application provides a wireless communication method, a terminal device, and a network device. The wireless communication method includes: A terminal device selects, based on a first parameter, a value set from a first value set and a second value set that are of slot offsets and that are configured by a network device, wherein all slot offsets in the first value set are greater than a first threshold, and at least one slot offset in the second value set is equal to the first threshold; and receive DCI, wherein a slot offset carried in the DCI belongs to the selected value set, and the slot offset is used to indicate an offset in a quantity of slots of a PDSCH scheduled by the DCI relative to the DCI. According to the technical solutions in this application, the different value sets correspond to different data channel scheduling mechanisms.

Claims (31)

selecting, based on a first parameter, a value set from a first value set and a second value set that are of slot offsets and that are configured by a network device, wherein all slot offsets in the first value set are greater than a first threshold, and at least one slot offset in the second value set is equal to the first threshold; and

receiving downlink control information (DCI) sent by the network device, wherein a slot offset carried in the DCI belongs to the selected value set, and the slot offset is used to indicate an offset in a quantity of slots of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the DCI relative to the DCI,

wherein the first parameter is a quantity of receive antennas currently used by the terminal device, and the selecting, based on a first parameter, a value set from a first value set and a second value set that are of slot offsets and that are configured by a network device comprises:

selecting the first value set when the quantity of receive antennas currently used by the terminal device is a first quantity of antennas; and

selecting the second value set when the quantity of receive antennas currently used by the terminal device is a second quantity of antennas, wherein the first quantity of antennas is less than the second quantity of antennas.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the selected value set is the first value set, a scheduling manner of the PDSCH is cross-slot scheduling; and

when the selected value set is the second value set, a scheduling manner of the PDSCH is same-slot scheduling or cross-slot scheduling.

3. A wireless communication method performed by a terminal device, the method comprising:

selecting, based on a first parameter, a value set from a first value set and a second value set that are of slot offsets and that are configured by a network device, wherein all slot offsets in the first value set are greater than a first threshold, and at least one slot offset in the second value set is equal to the first threshold; and

receiving downlink control information (DCI) sent by the network device, wherein a slot offset carried in the DCI belongs to the selected value set, and the slot offset is used to indicate an offset in a quantity of slots of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the DCI relative to the DCI, wherein:

or

b) the first parameter is a type of the timer run by the terminal device, the terminal device is within a discontinuous reception (DRX) active time, and the selecting, based on a first parameter, a value set from a first value set and a second value set that are of slot offsets and that are configured by a network device comprises:

selecting the first value set when the terminal device runs only an on duration timer:

selecting the second value set when the terminal device runs a same-slot scheduling timer, wherein the same-slot scheduling timer is started or restarted when the terminal device detects a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH); and

selecting the first value set when the same-slot scheduling timer expires.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein when the selected value set is the first value set, a scheduling manner of the PDSCH is cross-slot scheduling; and

when the selected value set is the second value set, a scheduling manner of the PDSCH is same-slot scheduling or cross-slot scheduling.

5. An apparatus, comprising:

at least one non-transitory storage medium including executable instructions; and

at least one processor; wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to implement:

selecting, based on a first parameter, a value set from a first value set and a second value set that are of slot offsets and that are configured by a network device, wherein all slot offsets in the first value set are greater than a first threshold, and at least one slot offset in the second value set is equal to the first threshold; and

receiving downlink control information (DCI) sent by the network device, wherein a slot offset carried in the DCI belongs to the selected value set, and the slot offset is used to indicate an offset in a quantity of slots of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the DCI relative to the DCI,
