[0110] The timing of the Synchronization Signal / PBCH Block (SSB) and System Information Block 1 (SIB1) transmissions is semi-statically configured. The periodic transmission of common signals (SSB, SIB1, and the cell common physical downlink control channel PDCCH) limits network devices, such as base stations, from using (deeper) sleep modes to conserve energy. The time-frequency resources of the Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) are also semi-statically configured and cannot be dynamically adjusted. Therefore, time-domain techniques achieve energy conservation by limiting the transmission and / or reception of common signals, thereby increasing the base station's sleep time.

[0111] Broadcast channel or broadcast signal adjustment schemes in time-domain techniques are a popular direction among NES candidate technologies. Currently, broadcast channels or broadcast signals are necessary conditions for terminals to complete operations such as cell access, reselection, measurement, and synchronization, and are therefore generally configured at the cell level. In order for different terminals to receive or transmit relevant channels or signals in a timely manner according to their configurations, base stations need to periodically transmit corresponding downlink channels or downlink signals and periodically detect and receive uplink channels or uplink signals. Therefore, the transmission and / or reception of broadcast channels or broadcast signals inevitably cause energy consumption for base stations.

[0112] The broadcast channel or broadcast signal adjustment scheme allows network devices to adjust the transmission time behavior of the aforementioned broadcast channel or broadcast signal according to the needs of service load, interference, number of terminals, data types, etc., thereby enabling base stations to have more opportunities to enter energy-saving mode and reduce network energy consumption.

[0113] The following section introduces SSB, SIB1, and paging messages.

[0114] In some embodiments, SSB and SIB1 periodically transmit at determined video resource locations according to a predefined protocol and / or network-side configured period.

[0115] SSB:

[0116] An SSB occupies four consecutive Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in the time domain, including the Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), the Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), and the Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH).

[0117] For example, the system can support five SSB time-domain transmission cases, such as cases A to E shown in Figure 1B. The time-domain pattern of a case depends on factors such as the SSB subcarrier spacing (SCS), operating frequency, and time division duplexing (TDD) or frequency division duplexing (FDD) standard. Different SSB cases correspond to the number of SSBs within an SSB burst and the time-domain resource location occupied within that burst. The duration of an SSB burst is 5 milliseconds (ms). Typically, the SSB transmission period can be 20 ms. Furthermore, the base station can configure the SSB transmission period and time-domain pattern through relevant information carried in SIB1, with a maximum SSB transmission period of 160 ms.

[0118] SIB1:

[0119] SIB1 schedules downlink control information (DCI) format 1-0 transmitted within the Type 0 Common Search Space (Type 0-CSS). The search space (SS) associated with the Type-0 CSS and the corresponding time-frequency resource locations can be indicated by the Master Indication Block (MIB), or configured via SIB1 or Radio Resource Control signaling (RRC signaling). Its transmission period and time-frequency resource locations depend on the multiplexing pattern of the SSB or SIB1 and the indication information carried in the DCI format 1_0 that schedules its transmission.

[0120] The base station needs to periodically send SIB1 so that terminals in the idle state, inactive state, and connected state can obtain system information in a timely manner.

[0121] In addition to the resource overhead caused by the SIB1 transmission itself, the Control Resource Set #0 (CORESET #0) or other CORESETs used by the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) transmission that schedules the SIB1 transmission also occupy considerable time domain resources.

[0122] For example, a schematic diagram of SIB1 transmission can be shown in Figure 1C.

[0123] Paging information:

[0124] According to the relevant configuration information provided by SIB, the terminal periodically sends data. Based on its own downlink beam, the terminal determines the paging frame (PF) and the paging occasion (PO) position within the PF through the aforementioned configuration, and detects and receives paging physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or short message information.

[0125] The transmission of paging information can be as shown in Figure 1D. From the perspective of the base station, if the base station determines that it needs to page the terminal or notify the terminal of system information updates, it needs to send paging information or short message information to the corresponding terminal on any PO.

[0126] PRACH:

[0127] The time-domain resources of PRACH can be configured through random access channel configuration (RACH-config). The terminal transmits a preamble on any valid Remote Access Array (RO) according to the semi-static configuration information and the rules defined in the protocol. The base station needs to detect and receive the preamble on each valid RO.

[0128] It can be seen that SSB and SIB1 need to be transmitted periodically. Even when the number of terminals belonging to the base station is small or the service load is extremely low, the base station still needs to periodically transmit SSB and SIB1 so that the terminals can complete time-frequency synchronization, Automatic Gain Control (AGC) timing, secondary cell activation, and other related operations, as well as obtain system information. The periodically forced transmission of downlink signals undoubtedly reduces the opportunity for the base station to enter a sleep state, increases the unnecessary energy consumption on the base station side, and increases the operator's operating costs.

[0129] Table 1 shows the time-domain resource ratios of SSB and SIB1 under different configurations or deployment scenarios. Considering that the time-domain resource ratio can reach as high as 17.14%, in this scenario, the base station may not have the opportunity to enter a sleep state, which greatly limits the adoption of energy-saving technologies on the base station side and increases the network operating costs.

[0130] Table 1

[0131] For paging information, the base station needs to ensure that terminals on all beams can detect and receive paging information in a timely manner. Therefore, it must continuously and periodically send paging information, which prevents the network from entering the energy-saving state in a timely manner.

[0132] For PRACH, in order to reduce random access latency, the base station needs to attempt to detect PRACH at each valid RO corresponding to the PRACH resource configured through SIB1, which causes the network to be unable to enter the energy-saving state in a timely manner.

[0133] The transmission of the aforementioned channels and signals is interrelated; adjusting one of the signals or channels alone will affect the other related signals or channels.

[0134] To improve the usability of NES technology, this disclosure provides the following information transmission methods, terminals, network devices, systems, and storage media.

[0135] Figure 2 is an interactive schematic diagram of an information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, the present disclosure relates to an information transmission method, which includes:

[0136] In step S2101, network device 102 sends DCI to terminal 101.

[0137] In some embodiments, terminal 101 receives DCI.

[0138] In some embodiments, terminal 101 may be a terminal that supports NES technology.

[0139] In some embodiments, network device 102 may be a network device that supports NES technology.

[0140] In some embodiments, the DCI carries resource adjustment information. This resource adjustment information can be used to adjust the resources used to transmit the first information.

[0141] In one example, the first information may include, but is not limited to, at least one of uplink signal, uplink channel, downlink signal, and downlink channel.

[0142] For example, the uplink channel may include, but is not limited to, PRACH.

[0143] For example, the uplink signal may include, but is not limited to, a sounding reference signal (SRS).

[0144] For example, the downlink signal may include, but is not limited to, at least one of SSB, system message, and paging information. For example, the system message may include, but is not limited to, SIBn, where n is a positive integer.

[0145] For example, the downlink channel may include, but is not limited to, downlink channels carrying SSB, system messages, and paging information.

[0146] In one example, the first information may include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: Synchronization Signal Block (SSB); Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH); Paging information (or paging message); System message.

[0147] In some embodiments, the name of the resource adjustment information is not limited and can be interchanged with "signal channel time domain resource adjustment information", "dynamic adjustment information", etc.

[0148] In some embodiments, this disclosure does not limit the definition of the resource adjustment information.

[0149] In some embodiments, network device 102 may use other dynamic signaling to carry resource adjustment information. Other dynamic signaling may include, but is not limited to, RRC signaling, Media Access Control-Control Element (MAC CE), etc., which are not limited in this disclosure.

[0150] In some embodiments, network device 102 may send DCI to terminal 101 when it is necessary to dynamically adjust the resources for transmitting first information.

[0151] In some embodiments, network device 102 may send the DCI to terminal 101 based on a request from terminal 101.

[0152] In some embodiments, network device 102 may send the DCI to terminal 101 when it is necessary to enable or disable NES mode.

[0153] In some embodiments, network device 102 may send the DCI to terminal 101 when it is necessary to enable or disable sleep mode.

[0154] In some embodiments, terminal 101 may receive the DCI sent by network device 102 when it is necessary to determine the resources for transmitting the adjusted first information.

[0155] In some embodiments, terminal 101 may request network device 102 to send the DCI.

[0156] In some embodiments, DCI may be scrambled using a Paging-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (P-RNTI).

[0157] In some embodiments, the DCI in this disclosure may also be scrambled using other types of RNTIs, such as Random Access Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RA-RNTI), System Information Radio Network Temporary Identifier (SI-RNTI), Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI), Temporary Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (TC-RNT), etc. This disclosure does not limit this to any particular type.

[0158] In some embodiments, the DCI format can be a first format, wherein the first format is a DCI format used for scheduling downlink services.

[0159] In one example, the first format could be DCI format 1_0.

[0160] In some embodiments, the DCI may be DCI format 1_0 scrambled using P-RNTI.

[0161] In some embodiments, the DCI format can be other formats, such as DCI format 1_x, where x can be a positive integer, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0162] The above is merely an illustrative example, and this disclosure does not limit the RNTI type or the format of the scrambled DCI.

[0163] In some embodiments, taking P-RNTI scrambled DCI format 1_0 as an example, the DCI may carry the following information:

[0164] In one example, the DCI carries both paging information and resource adjustment information.

[0165] For example, the bit value of the first information field in the DCI can be set to a first value at this time.

[0166] Wherein, when the bit value of the first information field is the first value, the first information field can be an information field used to indicate the type of paging information. For example, the first information field can be a short messenger indicator field.

[0167] Of course, the first information domain can also be other information domains, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0168] The first information field can occupy m bits, where m can be a positive integer. For example, the first information field can occupy 2 bits.

[0169] The first value can be any of the following: "01"; "10"; "11". Of course, the first value depends on the number of bits occupied by the first information field, and the specific value is not limited in this disclosure.

[0170] In one example, the DCI can carry resource adjustment information but not paging information.

[0171] For example, the bit value of the first information field in the DCI can be set to the second value at this time.

[0172] Wherein, when the bit value of the first information field is the first value, the first information field can be an information field used to indicate the type of paging information. For example, the first information field can be a short messenger indicator field.

[0173] Of course, the first information domain can also be other information domains, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0174] The first information field can occupy m bits, where m can be a positive integer. For example, the first information field can occupy 2 bits.

[0175] The second value can be "00". Of course, the second value depends on the number of bits occupied by the first information field, and the specific value is not limited in this disclosure.

[0176] The above is merely an illustrative example. This disclosure does not limit the scheme for determining the type of information carried by a DCI based on the bit value of at least one information field in the DCI.

[0177] In some embodiments, network device 102 may determine the bit value of the first information field in the DCI based on the information carried in the DCI.

[0178] In one example, the DCI carries paging information and resource adjustment information, and the bit value of the first information field can be a first value.

[0179] In one example, the DCI carries the resource adjustment information but not the paging information, and the bit value of the first information field in the DCI can be the second value.

[0180] In some embodiments, network device 102 may determine the bit value of one or more reserved bits in DCI based on the resource adjustment information.

[0181] For example, if resource adjustment information is used to indicate time-domain resource offset, network device 102 can set or determine the bit value of the reserved bit in DCI based on the time-domain resource offset.

[0182] In some embodiments, network device 102 may determine one or more first bits occupied by resource adjustment information in DCI based on the type of paging information, and determine the bit value of the first bit based on the content of the resource adjustment information.

[0183] In one example, if the paging information is of the short message type, then network device 102 can identify one or more bits that do not belong to the first information field as the one or more first bits.

[0184] In the case where the paging information is a short message, the DCI directly carries the specific content of the paging information.

[0185] In one example, if the paging information is of the type of paging scheduling information, then network device 102 may determine one or more reserved bits as the one or more first bits.

[0186] In the case where the paging information is paging scheduling information, the DCI does not directly carry the paging information, but instead provides the paging scheduling information to the terminal 101, which can then receive the paging information based on the paging scheduling information.

[0187] In one example, if the paging information is of the type of short message and paging dispatch information, then network device 102 may determine one or more reserved bits as the one or more first bits.

[0188] In some embodiments, if the network device 102 carries the resource adjustment information in the DCI but not the paging information, it may determine the bit value of one or more bits that do not belong to the first information field based on the resource adjustment information.

[0189] The above is merely an illustrative example, and this disclosure does not limit the scheme by which network device 102 determines the bit value of the bit corresponding to the resource scheduling information in DCI.

[0190] In step S2102, terminal 101 determines the resource adjustment information.

[0191] In some embodiments, terminal 101 may determine resource adjustment information based on the DCI.

[0192] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the correct parsing of the DCI by the terminal 101, the terminal 101 may determine the information type carried in the DCI based on the bit value of the first information field in the DCI.

[0193] In one example, if the bit value of the first information field is a first value, terminal 101 determines that the DCI carries paging information and resource adjustment information.

[0194] In one example, if the bit value of the first information field is the second value, terminal 101 determines that the DCI carries resource adjustment information but not paging information.

[0195] In some embodiments, when the DCI carries paging information and the resource adjustment information, the terminal 101 may determine the resource adjustment information in the following manner:

[0196] Method 1-1: Determine the resource adjustment information based on the bit values ​​of one or more reserved bits in the DCI.

[0197] In one example, DCI format1_0 includes 6 reserved bits, and terminal 101 can determine the resource adjustment information based on the bit values ​​of one or more of the 6 reserved bits.

[0198] Methods 1-2 determine resource adjustment information based on the bit value of the first information field.

[0199] In one example, the DCI carries paging information and resource adjustment information. In this case, the bit value of the first information field is a first value, such as "01", "10" or "11". The first information field is used to indicate the type of paging information, and the terminal 101 can determine the type of paging information based on the first value.

[0200] For example, the types of paging information corresponding to different first values ​​can be shown in Table 2.

[0201] Table 2

[0202] In the case where the paging information is a short message, the DCI carries the specific content of the paging information, and the terminal 101 can directly obtain the paging information through the DCI.

[0203] In the case where the paging information is paging scheduling information, terminal 101 can receive the paging information sent by network device 102 based on the paging scheduling information. That is, the paging information is not sent directly to terminal 101 through DCI.

[0204] In cases where the paging information is of the type of short message or paging scheduling information, terminal 101 can obtain the paging information based on DCI and can receive subsequent paging information sent by network device 102 through paging scheduling information.

[0205] The above is merely an illustrative example, and this disclosure does not limit the type of paging information.

[0206] In one example, terminal 101 can determine one or more first bits occupied by resource adjustment information based on the determined type of paging information. Furthermore, the resource adjustment information can be determined based on the bit values ​​of one or more first bits.

[0207] For example, if the paging information is of the type of short message, the terminal 101 may determine one or more bits that do not belong to the first information field as the one or more first bits.

[0208] For example, in DCI, apart from the m bits occupied by the first information field, all other bits can be used to carry resource adjustment information.

[0209] For example, the type of paging information is paging scheduling information, and terminal 101 can determine one or more of the 6 reserved bits as one or more first bits.

[0210] For example, the type of paging information is short message and paging scheduling information, and terminal 101 can determine one or more of the 6 reserved bits as one or more first bits.

[0211] The above is merely an illustrative example, and this disclosure does not limit the scheme for determining the first bit where the resource adjustment information is located.

[0212] In some embodiments, if the DCI carries resource adjustment information but not paging information, the terminal 101 may determine the resource adjustment information in the following manner:

[0213] Method 2-1: Determine the resource adjustment information based on the bit values ​​of one or more reserved bits in the DCI.

[0214] In one example, DCI format1_0 includes 6 reserved bits, and terminal 101 can determine the resource adjustment information based on the bit values ​​of one or more of the 6 reserved bits.

[0215] Method 2-2: Determine the resource adjustment information based on the bit values ​​of one or more bits that do not belong to the first information domain.

[0216] For example, in DCI, apart from the m bits occupied by the first information field, all other bits can be used to carry resource adjustment information.

[0217] In step S2103, terminal 101 determines the first information that is adjusted by the resource adjustment information.

[0218] In some embodiments, terminal 101 may determine the first information to be adjusted by the resource adjustment information based on a predefined method.

[0219] In one example, the first information that the resource adjustment information adjusts can be determined by the protocol based on the first information domain.

[0220] For example, if the first information field is set to a third value, terminal 101 can determine that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information includes SSB.

[0221] For example, if the first information field is set to the fourth value, terminal 101 can determine that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information includes PRACH.

[0222] For example, if the first information field is set to the fifth value, terminal 101 can determine that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information includes system messages such as SIB1.

[0223] For example, if the first information field is set to the sixth value, terminal 101 can determine that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information includes SSB and system message SIB1.

[0224] For example, if the first information field is set to the seventh value, terminal 101 can determine that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information includes SSB and paging information.

[0225] For example, the correspondence between the bit values ​​of the second information field in the DCI and the adjusted first information can be agreed upon by the protocol.

[0226] The second information field can be the same as the first information field.

[0227] Alternatively, the second information field can be a newly added information field in the DCI, which is used to indicate the adjusted first information.

[0228] For example, when the bit value of the second information field is "0001", it can be used to indicate that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information is SSB. When the bit value of the second information field is "0010", it can be used to indicate that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information is PRACH. When the bit value of the second information field is "0011", it can be used to indicate that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information is SIB1. When the bit value of the second information field is "0011", it can be used to indicate that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information is paging information. When the bit value of the second information field is "0100", it can be used to indicate that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information is both SSB and PRACH. When the bit value of the second information field is "0101", it can be used to indicate that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information is both SSB and SIB1. When the bit value of the second information field is "0110", it can be used to indicate that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information is both SSB and paging information. When the bit value of the second information field is “0111”, it can be used to indicate that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information is SIB1 and PRACH...

[0229] In one example, the first piece of information to be adjusted by the resource adjustment information can be determined by the agreement.

[0230] For example, the agreement may directly stipulate that the first piece of information adjusted by the resource adjustment information is the paging information.

[0231] For example, the agreement may directly stipulate that the first information to be adjusted by the resource adjustment information is SSB, SIB1, PRACH and paging information.

[0232] The above is merely an illustrative example. This disclosure does not limit the scheme by which terminal 101 determines the first information to be adjusted by the resource adjustment information based on a predefined method.

[0233] In some embodiments, terminal 101 may determine the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information based on the indication information sent by network device 102.

[0234] For example, when the bit value of the indication information is "0001", it can be used to indicate that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information is SSB. When the bit value of the indication information is "0010", it can be used to indicate that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information is PRACH. When the bit value of the indication information is "0011", it can be used to indicate that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information is SIB1. When the bit value of the indication information is "0011", it can be used to indicate that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information is paging information. When the bit value of the indication information is "0100", it can be used to indicate that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information is SSB and PRACH. When the bit value of the indication information is "0101", it can be used to indicate that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information is SSB and SIB1. When the bit value of the indication information is "0110", it can be used to indicate that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information is SIB1 and PRACH, and so on.

[0235] In some embodiments, terminal 101 may determine the first information to be adjusted by the resource adjustment information based on a predefined method and the indication information sent by network device 102.

[0236] In one example, terminal 101 can determine the amount of first information to be adjusted by resource adjustment information based on a predefined method, and then determine the first information to be adjusted based on the indication information sent by network device 102.

[0237] For example, if the protocol stipulates that the number of the first information to be adjusted by the resource adjustment information is 1, and the bit value of the indication information is "01", then terminal 101 determines that the first information to be adjusted by the resource adjustment information is SSB.

[0238] For example, if the protocol stipulates that the number of first information items adjusted by the resource adjustment information is 3, and the bit value of the indication information is "01", then terminal 101 determines that the first information items adjusted by the resource adjustment information are SSB, PRACH and paging information.

[0239] In one example, terminal 101 can determine the set of candidate first information to be adjusted by the resource adjustment information based on a predefined method, and then determine the first information to be adjusted based on the indication information sent by network device 102. The indication information can be used to indicate the index of the first information in the set of candidate first information.

[0240] For example, if the protocol specifies that the first set of alternative information is {SSB, PRACH, SIB1, paging information} and the indication information is "00", then terminal 101 determines that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information is SSB.

[0241] For example, if the protocol specifies that the first set of alternative information is {SSB, PRACH, SIB1, paging information} and the indication information is “00” and “10”, then terminal 101 determines that the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information is SSB and SIB1.

[0242] The above is merely an illustrative example, and this disclosure does not limit the scheme by which the terminal 101 determines the first information adjusted by the resource adjustment information.

[0243] In step S2104, terminal 101 determines the first resource.

[0244] In some embodiments, the first resource is the resource for transmitting the first information after adjustment, as determined by the terminal 101 based on resource adjustment information.

[0245] In one example, the resource includes, but is not limited to, at least one of time-domain resources, frequency-domain resources, and spatial-domain resources.

[0246] For example, the resource adjustment information indicates the offset of the time domain resources. Assuming it is 2 time slots, the resource position for transmitting PRACH before adjustment is the nth time slot. Then, the first resource for transmitting PRACH determined by terminal 101 based on the resource adjustment information includes the (n+2)th time slot.

[0247] For example, the resource adjustment information indicates the offset of time-domain resources and frequency-domain resources, assuming it is 2 time slots and -1 resource block. The resource position of the previous transmission of SIB1 was from the s-th resource block to the (s+3)-th resource block in the n-th time slot. Then, the first resource position of the transmission of SIB1 determined by the terminal 101 based on the resource adjustment information is from the (s-1)-th resource block to the (s+2)-th resource block in the (n+2)-th time slot.

[0248] In step S2105, network device 102 determines the first resource.

[0249] In some embodiments, the first resource is the resource for transmitting the first information after adjustment, as determined by the terminal 101 based on resource adjustment information.

[0250] In some embodiments, the network device 102 determines the first resource in a similar manner to the terminal 101, and will not be described again here.

[0251] In step S2106, terminal 101 sends first information to network device 102.

[0252] In some embodiments, terminal 101 sends first information to network device 102 on a first resource. The first information may be an uplink signal and / or an uplink channel, such as PRACH or SRS.

[0253] In some embodiments, network device 102 receives first information.

[0254] In some embodiments, when a terminal 101 needs to initiate random access, it may send first information to a network device 102 on a first resource.

[0255] In some embodiments, when a device needs to be located, the terminal 101 may send first information to the network device 102 on a first resource.

[0256] In some embodiments, after receiving the DCI, terminal 101 may send first information to network device 102 on a first resource.

[0257] In step S2107, network device 102 sends first information to terminal 101.

[0258] In some embodiments, network device 102 sends first information to terminal 101 on a first resource. The first information may be a downlink signal and / or a downlink channel, such as at least one of SSB, SIB1, and paging information.

[0259] In some embodiments, terminal 101 receives first information.

[0260] In some embodiments, when the network device 102 needs to enable or disable NES mode, it can send first information to the terminal 101 on a first resource.

[0261] In some embodiments, when the network device 102 needs to enter or exit sleep mode, it may send first information to the terminal 101 on a first resource.

[0305] If the DCI carries paging scheduling information, it is carried through the last 6 reserved bits.

[0306] Furthermore, the content of the indication information carried by the DCI format 1_0 is determined according to a predefined method, such as the short message indicator.

[0320] In method 1-1, the channel or signal time-domain resource adjustment information is carried through the last 6 reserved bits.

[0321] Method 1-2: Determine the bit position carrying the channel signal time domain resource adjustment information based on the specific indication value of the aforementioned short message indicator.

[0322] If the DCI only carries a short message, the indication information is carried sequentially starting from the first reserved bit in the DCI format 1_0.

[0323] If the DCI carries paging scheduling information, it is carried through the last 6 reserved bits.

[0324] Further, the content of the indication information carried by the DCI format 1_0 is determined based on the short message indicator.

Based on the indication information, the terminal detects and receives the downlink signal or channel at the corresponding time-domain location, and transmits the uplink signal or channel at the corresponding time-domain location. The base station instructs the terminal on the time-domain transmission resource adjustment information for the channel or signal by using relevant information carried in DCI format 1_0 scrambled with P-RNTI.
