Abstract

Provided are an information scheduling method and apparatus, a device and a storage medium. The method includes: receiving PDSCH configuration information from a second communication node, receiving DCI from the second communication node, and determining scheduling information of a PDSCH on at least one carrier according to the PDSCH configuration information and the DCI.

Claims (55)

1. An information scheduling method, applied to a first communication node, comprising:

receiving physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) configuration information from a second communication node,

wherein the PDSCH configuration information comprises a mapping relationship between a time domain resource assignment (TDRA) index and at least one group of time domain resource indication information,

wherein each of the at least one group of time domain resource indication information comprises a slot offset K 0 , a start length indicator value (SLIV) and a PDSCH mapping type, and

wherein the PDSCH configuration information further comprises a mapping relationship between the each of the at least one group of time domain resource indication information and a carrier;

receiving downlink control information (DCI) from the second communication node; and

determining scheduling information of a PDSCH on a plurality of carriers according to the PDSCH configuration information and the DCI.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduling information comprises time domain resource indication information, one or more carriers scheduling PDSCH currently, and a carrier indication field (CIF) index of the one or more carriers scheduling PDSCH currently.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PDSCH configuration information comprises:

a mapping relationship between a carrier indication field (CIF) index and one or more carriers, and each CIF index is mapped to at least one carrier.

4. The method of claim 3 ,

wherein a CIF in the DCI indicates the CIF index, and a carrier mapped by the CIF index is a carrier on which the DCI currently schedules the PDSCH;

in a case where the CIF index indicated by the CIF is mapped to N carriers, the DCI is used for scheduling PDSCHs on the N carriers, and one of the PDSCHs is scheduled on each of the N carriers, wherein N is a positive integer greater than 1; and

in a case where the CIF index indicated by the CIF is mapped to one carrier, the DCI is used for scheduling a PDSCH on the one carrier.

5. An information scheduling method, applied to a second communication node, comprising:

sending predetermined physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) configuration information to a first communication node,

wherein the PDSCH configuration information comprises a mapping relationship between a time domain resource assignment (TDRA) index and at least one group of time domain resource indication information,

wherein each of the at least one group of time domain resource indication information comprises a slot offset K 0 , a start length indicator value (SLIV) and a PDSCH mapping type, and

wherein the PDSCH configuration information further comprises a mapping relationship between the each of the at least one group of time domain resource indication information and a carrier;

determining downlink control information (DCI) used for scheduling a PDSCH on a plurality of carriers according to the PDSCH configuration information;

and

sending the DCI to the first communication node.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the PDSCH configuration information comprises:

a mapping relationship between a carrier indication field (CIF) index and one or more carriers, and each CIF index is mapped to at least one carrier.

7. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein a CIF in the DCI indicates the CIF index, and a carrier mapped by the CIF index is a carrier on which the DCI currently schedules the PDSCH;

in a case where the CIF index indicated by the CIF is mapped to N carriers, the DCI is used for scheduling PDSCHs on the N carriers, and one of the PDSCHs is scheduled on each of the N carriers, wherein N is a positive integer greater than 1; and

in a case where the CIF index indicated by the CIF is mapped to one carrier, the DCI is used for scheduling a PDSCH on the one carrier.

8. An apparatus comprising one or more processors configured to cause the apparatus to:

receive physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) configuration information from a second communication node,

wherein the PDSCH configuration information comprises a mapping relationship between a time domain resource assignment (TDRA) index and at least one group of time domain resource indication information,

wherein each of the at least one group of time domain resource indication information comprises a slot offset K 0 , a start length indicator value (SLIV) and a PDSCH mapping type, and

wherein the PDSCH configuration information further comprises a mapping relationship between the each of the at least one group of time domain resource indication information and a carrier;

receive down control information (DCI) from the second communication node; and

determine scheduling information of a PDSCH on a plurality of carriers according to the PDSCH configuration information and the DCI.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the scheduling information comprises time domain resource indication information, one or more carriers scheduling PDSCH currently, and a carrier indication field (CIF) index of the one or more carriers scheduling PDSCH currently.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the PDSCH configuration information comprises:

a mapping relationship between a carrier indication field (CIF) index and one or more carriers, and each CIF index is mapped to at least one carrier.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 ,

wherein a CIF in the DCI indicates the CIF index, and a carrier mapped by the CIF index is a carrier on which the DCI currently schedules the PDSCH;

in a case where the CIF index indicated by the CIF is mapped to N carriers, the DCI is used for scheduling PDSCHs on the N carriers, and one of the PDSCHs is scheduled on each of the N carriers, wherein N is a positive integer greater than 1; and

in a case where the CIF index indicated by the CIF is mapped to one carrier, the DCI is used for scheduling a PDSCH on the one carrier.

12. An apparatus comprising one or more processors configured to cause the apparatus to:

send predetermined physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) configuration information to a first communication node,

wherein the PDSCH configuration information comprises a mapping relationship between a time domain resource assignment (TDRA) index and at least one group of time domain resource indication information,

wherein each of the at least one group of time domain resource indication information comprises a slot offset K 0 , a start length indicator value (SLIV) and a PDSCH mapping type, and

wherein the PDSCH configuration information further comprises a mapping relationship between the each of the at least one group of time domain resource indication information and a carrier;

determine downlink control information (DCI) used for scheduling a PDSCH on a plurality of carriers according to the PDSCH configuration information; and

send the DCI to the first communication node.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the PDSCH configuration information comprises:

a mapping relationship between a carrier indication field (CIF) index and one or more carriers, and each CIF index is mapped to at least one carrier.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 ,

wherein a CIF in the DCI indicates the CIF index, and a carrier mapped by the CIF index is a carrier on which the DCI currently schedules the PDSCH;

in a case where the CIF index indicated by the CIF is mapped to N carriers, the DCI is used for scheduling PDSCHs on the N carriers, and one of the PDSCHs is scheduled on each of the N carriers, wherein N is a positive integer greater than 1; and

in a case where the CIF index indicated by the CIF is mapped to one carrier, the DCI is used for scheduling a PDSCH on the one carrier.
