Channel indication methods and apparatuses
A channel indication method includes: determining, by a base station on an unlicensed spectrum, one or more first subbands that pass a channel access; generating, by the base station, a channel indication signal to indicate the one or more first subbands that pass the channel access; and transmitting, by the base station, the channel indication signal to a terminal to determine, based on the channel indication signal, the one or more first subbands that pass the channel access. The channel indication signal comprises downlink control information (DCI), and at least one information field in the DCI indicates the one or more first subbands that pass the channel access.
1. A channel indication method, comprising:
determining, by a base station on an unlicensed spectrum, one or more first subbands that pass a channel access;
generating, by the base station, a channel indication signal to indicate the one or more first subbands that pass the channel access; and
transmitting, by the base station, the channel indication signal to a terminal to determine, based on the channel indication signal, the one or more first subbands that pass the channel access;
wherein the channel indication signal comprises downlink control information (DCI), and at least one information field in the DCI indicates the one or more first subbands that pass the channel access.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a designated information field of the DCI comprises first indication information for explicitly indicating the one or more first subbands.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the DCI comprises identification information for representing the one or more first subbands.
4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
acquiring a correspondence between one or more positions at which the DCI is transmitted and the one or more first subbands; and
transmitting the correspondence to the terminal to determine, based on the correspondence, the one or more first subbands.
5. A channel indication method, comprising:
receiving, by a terminal on an unlicensed spectrum, a channel indication signal from a base station, wherein the channel indication signal indicates one or more first subbands that pass a channel access; and
determining, by the terminal and based on the channel indication signal, the one or more first subbands that pass the channel access;
wherein the channel indication signal comprises downlink control information (DCI), and at least one information field in the DCI indicates the one or more first subbands that pass the channel access.
6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein a designated information field of the DCI comprises first indication information for explicitly indicating the one or more first subbands.
7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the DCI comprises identification information for representing the one or more first subbands.
8. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:
receiving, from the base station, a correspondence between preset positions at which the DCI is transmitted and preset first subbands; and
determining, based on the correspondence, the one or more first subbands.
9. A device, comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory for storing instructions executable by the one or more processors;
wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
receive a channel indication signal from a base station, wherein the channel indication signal indicates one or more first subbands that pass a channel access; and
determine, based on the channel indication signal, the one or more first subbands that pass the channel access;
wherein the channel indication signal comprises downlink control information (DCI), and at least one information field in the DCI indicates the one or more first subbands that pass the channel access.
10. The device according to claim 9 , wherein a designated information field of the DCI comprises first indication information for explicitly indicating the one or more first subbands.
11. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the DCI comprises identification information for representing the one or more first subbands.
12. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
receive, from the base station, a correspondence between preset positions at which the DCI is transmitted and preset first subbands; and
determine, based on the correspondence, the one or more first subbands.
13. A device, comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory for storing instructions executable by the one or more processors;
wherein the one or more processors are configured to perform the channel indication method according to claim 1 .
14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that perform the channel indication method according to claim 1 .
15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that perform the channel indication method according to claim 5 .
