Abstract

A transmission scheduling method includes: sending in a first cell, downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling data transmission in at least two second cells.

Claims (38)

1 . A transmission scheduling method, comprising:

sending notification information of a mapping relationship between indication information and second cells through a high layer signaling, wherein the mapping relationship comprises: one indication information mapping to one or more second cells; and

sending in a first cell, downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling data transmission in at least two second cells;

wherein the DCI carries a scheduling information field, and the scheduling information field comprises the indication information of each second cell;

wherein sending in the first cell, the DCI for scheduling data transmission in the at least two second cells comprises:

when scheduling data transmission in the at least two second cells, sending the DCI in the first cell, wherein the scheduling information field carries indication information for scheduling data transmission in the at least two second cells, and the DCI is used for performing the data transmission in the at least two second cells according to the DCI information;

wherein performing the data transmission in the at least two second cells according to the DCI information further comprises:

performing the data transmission in the at least two second cells indicated by the indication information according to the indication information of each second cell contained in the scheduling information field of the DCI and the mapping relationship between the indication information and the at least two second cells.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein,

the scheduling information field is located at a fixed position of the DCI; or

an information field length of the scheduling information field is a fixed length; or

the scheduling information field is located at the fixed position of the DCI, and the information field length of the scheduling information field is the fixed length.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining at least one of a position or an information field length of the scheduling information field in the DCI according to configuration information of the scheduling information field.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduling information field comprises:

grouping information configured to indicate one or more cell groups; wherein, one cell group comprises one or more second cells.

5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

sending notification information of a mapping relationship between the grouping information and the second cells included in the cell group through a high layer signaling.

6 . A transmission scheduling method, comprising:

receiving a high layer signaling carrying a mapping relationship between indication information and second cells cell, wherein the mapping relationship comprises: one indication information mapping to one or more second cells;

receiving downlink control information (DCI) sent in a first cell and configured to schedule data transmission in at least two second cells, wherein the DCI carries a scheduling information field, and the scheduling information field comprises indication information of each second; and

performing the data transmission in the at least two second cells according to the DCI information;

wherein performing the data transmission in the at least two second cells according to the DCI information comprises:

performing the data transmission in the at least two second cells indicated by indication information according to the indication information of each second cell contained in the scheduling information field of the DCI information and the mapping relationship between the indication information and the at least two second cells.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein performing the data transmission in the at least two second cells according to the DCI information comprises:

performing the data transmission in the at least two second cells included in a cell group according to grouping information included in a scheduling information field of the DCI information and a mapping relationship between the grouping information and the second cells included in a corresponding cell group.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein before performing the data transmission in the at least two second cells included in a cell group according to grouping information included in a scheduling information field of the DCI information and a mapping relationship between the grouping information and the second cells included in a corresponding cell group, the method further comprises:

receiving a high layer signaling carrying the mapping relationship between the grouping information and the second cells included in the corresponding cell group.

9 . A communication device, comprising:

an antenna;

a memory; and

a processor, connected to the antenna and the memory respectively, and configured to control the antenna to:

send notification information of a mapping relationship between indication information and second cells through a high layer signaling, wherein the mapping relationship comprises: one indication information mapping to one or more second cells; and

send in a first cell, downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling data transmission in at least two second cells;

wherein the DCI carries a scheduling information field, and the scheduling information field comprises the indication information of each second cell;

wherein the processor is further configured to control the antenna to:

send the DCI in the first cell when scheduling data transmission in the at least two second cells, wherein the scheduling information field carries indication information for scheduling data transmission in the at least two second cells, and the DCI is used for performing the data transmission in the at least two second cells according to the DCI information; and

perform the data transmission in the at least two second cells indicated by the indication information according to the indication information of each second cell contained in the scheduling information field of the DCI and the mapping relationship between the indication information and the at least two second cells.
