Embodiments of the invention disclose a
machine type communication scheduling method, a
base station and
user equipment. One embodiment of the method of in the embodiments comprises the following steps that a
base station sends first downlink control information to
user equipment in an
air interface idle state in a
cell, wherein the first downlink control information includes a first resource indication corresponding to a first identification of target
user equipment, and the first identification is used to identify the target user equipment in the
air interface idle state scheduled by the
base station during
resource scheduling; and the base
station sends a first data packet to the target user equipment according to the first resource indication. On one hand, a problem that the base
station can not schedule the user equipment and send a corresponding downlink data packet when the UE is in the
air interface idle state is avoided; and on the other hand, a problem that under the condition that a Ready
Timer maintained between the base
station and a
core network device exceeds a
time limit, because the user equipment only monitors scheduling based on a fourth identification, downlink data which needs to be sent to the target UE by the
core network device can not be sent to the target UE is avoided too.
