Abstract

Disclosed are an information receiving method, an information sending method, an information receiving apparatus, an information sending apparatus, and a device. The method comprises: receiving first downlink control information (DCI), wherein the first DCI uses a first DCI format which comprises a first information domain; the first information domain is used for indicating a time unit for sending feedback information; the first DCI is used for instructing a terminal device to send the feedback information corresponding to at least one downlink channel; an indication result of the first information domain is an applicable value; the at least one downlink channel comprises a target downlink channel; the target downlink channel is not related to the first DCI; and when the first DCI format is used for scheduling downlink channel transmission or indicating semi-static resource release, the value range of the indication result of first information domain comprises an inapplicable value.

Claims (30)

1. A method for receiving information, applied to a terminal device, comprising:

receiving first Downlink Control Information (DCI), wherein the first DCI adopts a first DCI format, the first DCI is used for indicating the terminal device to send feedback information corresponding to at least one downlink channel, wherein the first DCI format comprises a first information field for indicating a time unit for sending feedback information, and an indication result of the first information field is an applicable value, and the at least one downlink channel comprises a target downlink channel, wherein an index of a Hybrid Automatic Repeat request (HARQ) process carried by the target downlink channel is different from that of an HARQ process scheduled by the first DCI;

wherein in response to the first DCI used for scheduling downlink channel transmission or indicating semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) resource release, a value range of the indication result of the first information field comprises an inapplicable value; and

transmitting HARQ feedback information according to the first DCI in response to the indication result of the first information field which is the applicable value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein that the indication result of the first information field is an applicable value comprises the following condition:

the first information field in the first DCI format corresponds to a candidate set which comprises an inapplicable value, and the indication result of the first information field in the first DCI cannot be the inapplicable value.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first DCI format comprises DCI format 1_1.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the at least one downlink channel comprises N downlink channels, wherein N is a maximum quantity of Hybrid Automatic Repeat request (HARQ) processes configured by the terminal device; or,

an HARQ process carried in each of the at least one downlink channel is different from each other.

5. A method for sending information, applied to a network device, comprising:

sending first Downlink Control Information (DCI), wherein the first DCI adopts a first DCI format, the first DCI is used for indicating a terminal device to send feedback information corresponding to at least one downlink channel, wherein the first DCI format comprises a first information field for indicating a time unit for sending feedback information, and an indication result of the first information field is an applicable value, and the at least one downlink channel comprises a target downlink channel, wherein an index of a Hybrid Automatic Repeat request (HARQ) process carried by the target downlink channel is different from that of an HARQ process scheduled by the first DCI;

wherein in response to the first DCI used for scheduling downlink channel transmission or indicating semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) resource release, a value range of the indication result of the first information field comprises an inapplicable value; and

receiving HARQ feedback information according to the first DCI in response to the indication result of the first information field which is the applicable value.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein that the indication result of the first information field is an applicable value comprises the following condition:

the first information field in the first DCI format corresponds to a candidate set which comprises an inapplicable value, and the indication result of the first information field in the first DCI cannot be the inapplicable value.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first DCI format comprises DCI format 1_1.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein

the at least one downlink channel comprises N downlink channels, wherein N is a maximum quantity of Hybrid Automatic Repeat request (HARQ) processes configured by the terminal device; or,

an HARQ process carried in each of the at least one downlink channel is different from each other.

9. An apparatus for receiving information, applied to a terminal device, comprising:

a receiver, configured to receive first Downlink Control Information (DCI), wherein the first DCI adopts a first DCI format, the first DCI is used for indicating the terminal device to send feedback information corresponding to at least one downlink channel, wherein the first DCI format comprises a first information field for indicating a time unit for sending feedback information, and an indication result of the first information field is an applicable value, and the at least one downlink channel comprises a target downlink channel, wherein an index of a Hybrid Automatic Repeat request (HARQ) process carried by the target downlink channel is different from that of an HARQ process scheduled by the first DCI;

wherein in response to the first DCI used for scheduling downlink channel transmission or indicating semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) resource release, a value range of the indication result of the first information field comprises an inapplicable value; and

transmitting HARQ feedback information according to the first DCI in response to the indication result of the first information field which is the applicable value.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein that the indication result of the first information field is an applicable value comprises the following condition:

the first information field in the first DCI format corresponds to a candidate set which comprises an inapplicable value, and the indication result of the first information field in the first DCI cannot be the inapplicable value.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the first DCI format comprises DCI format 1_1.

12. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein

the at least one downlink channel comprises N downlink channels, wherein N is a maximum quantity of Hybrid Automatic Repeat request (HARQ) processes configured by the terminal device; or,

an HARQ process carried in downlink channels comprised in the at least one downlink channel is different from each other.
