[0033] For the joint scheduling method provided by the embodiments of the present application, a terminal can determine a first scheduling object and a first group of scheduled objects supported by the first scheduling object; a network-side device can configure the first scheduling object and the first group of scheduled objects supported by the first scheduling object for the terminal, so that the transceiver (such as a terminal and a network-side device, a terminal and a terminal) maintains consistency in the understanding of the scheduling object and the scheduled object.

[0034] It should be noted that the "association" mentioned in various embodiments of the present application can be understood as a broad concept, which can be interpreted as including, indicating, or corresponding, etc. The "configuration" mentioned in various embodiments of the present application can be understood as a broad concept, which can include configuration or indication, etc. When it is mentioned in various embodiments of the present application that A includes, indicates, corresponds to, or is associated with B, one implementation method is that the configuration of A or A includes the identifier of B. For example, an object configuration is associated with a first scheduling object, and specifically, the object configuration may include the identifier of the first scheduling object. When it is mentioned in various embodiments of the present application that C indicates D, one implementation method is that C indicates the identifier of D. For example, an object configuration indicates a first scheduling object, and specifically, the object configuration may indicate the identifier of the first scheduling object.

[0035] Next, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the joint scheduling method and device provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0036] As Figure 2 shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a joint scheduling method 200. This method can be executed by a terminal. In other words, this method can be executed by software or hardware installed in the terminal. The method includes the following steps.

[0037] S202: The terminal determines a first scheduling object and a first group of scheduled objects.

[0038] S204: The terminal monitors joint control information on the first scheduling object; wherein, the first scheduling object at least supports scheduling the first group of scheduled objects, the first group of scheduled objects includes at least one scheduled object, and the joint control information supports scheduling at least two scheduled objects.

[0039] The objects mentioned in the embodiments of the present application, such as scheduling objects and scheduled objects, can be at least one of a cell, a carrier, data, a signal, power control information, a resource format, a BandWidth Part (BWP), a resource pool, other control signals, etc. In the subsequent embodiments, a scheduling cell is mostly used as an example to illustrate the scheduling object, and a scheduled cell is used as an example to illustrate the scheduled object.

[0040] The above-mentioned joint control information can be control information that schedules or indicates multiple objects, or can be control information including a scheduling information field of multiple objects. The joint control information can be joint downlink control information (DCI), joint sidelink control information (SCI), etc. The control resource set where the joint control information is located can also be called a joint control resource set, such as a joint search space (SS), etc.

[0041] The above-mentioned joint control information can be transmitted on a control resource set, and the control resource set can include at least one of the following: a search space (SS), a control resource set (CORESET), a monitoring occasion, slots, a time span, etc.

[0042] In this embodiment, the joint control information supports scheduling at least two scheduled objects, but it does not exclude that in special cases, the joint control information is only used to schedule one scheduled object.

[0043] In this embodiment, the network-side device can configure a first scheduling object and a first scheduled object group for the terminal. In this way, the terminal can determine the first scheduling object and the first scheduled object group, and monitor, blindly detect, send, or receive joint control information on the first scheduling object.

[0044] The "transmission" mentioned in the embodiments of the present application can be understood as a broad concept, which can include monitoring, blind detection, sending, or receiving, etc. The embodiments of the present application can be applied to a transmitting terminal and can also be applied to a receiving terminal.

[0045] The application scenarios of each embodiment of this application can be divided into two types: Scenario 1: Interaction between a network-side device and a terminal. The network-side device usually serves as the sender, and the terminal usually serves as the receiver. Scenario 2: Interaction among a network-side device, a sending-end terminal, and a receiving-end terminal. In this scenario 2, the network-side device generally configures a first scheduling object and a first scheduled object group for the sending-end terminal and / or the receiving-end terminal. The sending-end terminal sends joint control information through the first scheduling object, and the receiving-end terminal monitors, blindly detects, or receives the joint control information. Alternatively, the network-side device sends joint control information within a target control resource set, and the sending-end terminal monitors, blindly detects, or receives the joint control information within the target control resource set, and sends a signal or a channel to the receiving-end terminal according to the indication or scheduling of the joint control information, such as sending a sidelink signal or channel. In one example, this embodiment can be applied to a User to network universal interface (Uu) scenario. In this embodiment, the terminal obtains the first scheduling object and the first scheduled object group configured or indicated by the network-side device, and monitors, blindly detects, or receives the joint control information from the network-side device on the first scheduling object.

[0046] In another example, this embodiment can be applied to a UE to UE scenario. In this embodiment, the terminal serving as the receiver can obtain the first scheduling object and the first scheduled object group configured by the network-side device, or obtain the first scheduling object and the first scheduled object group configured by the sending-end terminal, and monitor, blindly detect, or receive the joint control information from the sending-end terminal on the first scheduling object.

[0047] For the joint scheduling method provided by the embodiments of this application, the terminal determines a first scheduling object and a first scheduled object group and monitors joint control information on the first scheduling object. The first scheduling object at least supports scheduling the first scheduled object group, and the first scheduled object group includes at least one scheduled object. The joint control information supports scheduling at least two scheduled objects. The embodiments of this application are beneficial to keeping the understanding of the terminal and the network-side device on the scheduling object and the scheduled object consistent, avoiding transmission problems caused by inconsistent understanding, and improving communication effectiveness.

[0048] Optionally, based on Embodiment 200, the terminal determines the first scheduling object including at least one of the following 1) to 5):

[0049] 1) The terminal obtains an object configuration, where the object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object, and the scheduled object in the first scheduled object group includes the object corresponding to the object configuration.

[0050] In this example, the terminal can determine the first scheduling object associated with the object configuration based on the obtained object configuration.

[0051] This object configuration can also be referred to as the configuration of the object. Therefore, this object can also be referred to as the object corresponding to the object configuration. This object can be a scheduled object in the first scheduled object group.

[0052] The association between the object configuration and the first scheduling object includes, for example: the identifier of the first scheduling object is included in the object configuration, or the carrier indication information of the object corresponding to the object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object. The "association" mentioned in the embodiments of the present application can be understood as a broad concept, which can be interpreted as including, indicating, or corresponding, etc.

[0053] 2) The terminal obtains at least one scheduled object configuration, where the scheduled object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object, and the scheduled object in the first scheduled object group includes the scheduled object corresponding to the scheduled object configuration.

[0054] In this example, the terminal can determine the first scheduling object associated with the scheduled object configuration based on the obtained scheduled object configuration.

[0055] This scheduled object configuration can also be referred to as the configuration of the scheduled object. Therefore, this scheduled object can also be referred to as the scheduled object corresponding to the scheduled object configuration. This scheduled object can be a scheduled object in the first scheduled object group.

[0056] The association between the scheduled object configuration and the first scheduling object includes, for example: the identifier of the first scheduling object is included in the scheduled object configuration, or the carrier indication information of the scheduled object corresponding to the scheduled object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object.

[0057] The above 1) and 2) can also be described as: the terminal obtains the object configuration or the scheduled object configuration corresponding to at least one scheduled object in the first scheduled object group, and the scheduling object associated with the configuration is the first scheduling object.

[0058] 3) The terminal obtains the first scheduled object group configuration, where the first scheduled object group configuration is associated with the first scheduling object.

[0059] In this example, the terminal can determine the first scheduling object associated with the first scheduled object group configuration based on the obtained first scheduled object group configuration.

[0060] The configuration of the first scheduled object group can also be referred to as the configuration of the first scheduled object group. The configuration of the first scheduled object group associated with the first scheduling object includes, for example: the identifier of the first scheduling object is included in the configuration of the first scheduled object group.

[0061] 4) The terminal obtains a scheduling object configuration, where the scheduling object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object.

[0062] In this example, the terminal can determine the first scheduling object associated with the obtained scheduling object configuration based on the obtained scheduling object configuration.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the scheduling object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object, it means that the first scheduling object can be jointly scheduled. For example, for example, the cell 1 identifier is carried in the configuration of cell 1, indicating that cell 1 can be jointly scheduled. Among them, joint scheduling can refer to scheduling multiple scheduled objects through a joint control message.

[0064] 5) The terminal obtains a scheduling object configuration, where the scheduling object configuration indicates that the first scheduling object supports or enables joint scheduling.

[0065] In this example, the terminal can determine the first scheduling object based on the obtained scheduling object configuration.

[0066] The above 4) to 5) can also be described as: The terminal obtains a scheduling object configuration indicating support or enabling of joint scheduling, and the scheduling object corresponding to the configuration is the first scheduling object.

[0067] Optionally, based on the foregoing embodiments, the terminal determines that the first scheduled object group includes at least one of the following 1) to 12):

[0068] 1) The terminal obtains configuration information, where the configuration information configures or indicates the first scheduled object group.

[0069] In this embodiment, the network-side device can directly configure or indicate the scheduled object group for the terminal. For example, the network-side device directly configures the first scheduled object group associated with the first scheduling object.

[0070] 2) The terminal obtains a first scheduling object configuration, where the first scheduling object configuration is associated with the first scheduled object group.

[0071] The first scheduling object configuration can be the configuration of the first scheduling object, and the configuration of the first scheduling object is associated with the first scheduled object group.

[0072] In this embodiment, for example, the configured scheduling cell includes the identifier of the scheduled cell group. Suppose a certain configured scheduling cell includes the scheduled cell group 1, then the cell groups that can be jointly scheduled by this scheduling cell are the scheduled cell group 1. Further, if the scheduled cell group 1 includes cell A and cell B, then the cells that can be jointly scheduled by this scheduling cell are cell A and cell B.

[0073] 3) The terminal obtains a first scheduling object configuration, where the first scheduling object configuration is associated with the scheduled object, and the associated scheduled objects form the first scheduled object group.

[0074] This first scheduling object configuration may be the configuration of a first scheduling object, and the configuration of this first scheduling object is associated with a scheduled object, and this scheduled object is the scheduled object in the first scheduled object group.

[0075] In this embodiment, for example, the configured scheduling cell includes the identifiers of two scheduled cells, which are the identifiers of cell A and cell B respectively. Then the cells that can be jointly scheduled by this scheduling cell are cell A and cell B, and cell A and cell B form the first scheduled object group.

[0076] 4) The terminal obtains an object configuration, where the object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object, and the objects corresponding to (and associated with) the object configuration form the first scheduled object group.

[0077] This object configuration may be the configuration of an object, and this object can be called the object corresponding to the object configuration. That the object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object includes, for example: the identifier of the first scheduling object is included in the object configuration; or, the carrier indication information of the object corresponding to this object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object.

[0078] In this embodiment, for example, if the configured scheduling cell identifiers included in two cells are the same, then these two cells can be jointly scheduled by the scheduling cell corresponding to this identifier.

[0079] In this embodiment, for another example, the carrier indication information of cell A and cell B both indicates cell 1, then cell 1 can jointly schedule cell A and cell B.

[0080] 5) The terminal obtains a scheduled object configuration, where the scheduled object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object, and the scheduled objects corresponding to (and associated with) the scheduled object configuration form the first scheduled object group.

[0081] The scheduled object configuration may be the configuration of a scheduled object, and the scheduled object may be referred to as the scheduled object corresponding to the scheduled object configuration. The association between the scheduled object configuration and the first scheduling object includes, for example: including the identifier of the first scheduling object in the scheduled object configuration; or, the carrier indication information of the scheduled object corresponding to the scheduled object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object.

[0082] In this embodiment, for example, if the scheduling cell identifiers included in two scheduled cells are the same, then these two scheduled cells can be jointly scheduled by the scheduling cell corresponding to the identifier.

[0083] In another example of this embodiment, if the carrier indication information of scheduled cell A and scheduled cell B both indicates cell 1, then cell 1 can jointly schedule scheduled cell A and scheduled cell B.

[0084] 6) The terminal obtains a scheduled object group configuration, where the scheduled object group configuration is associated with the first scheduling object, and the scheduled objects corresponding to (and associated with) the scheduled object group configuration form the first scheduled object group.

[0085] The scheduled object group configuration may be the configuration of a scheduled object group, and the scheduled object group may be referred to as the scheduled object group corresponding to the scheduled object group configuration. The association between the scheduled object group configuration and the first scheduling object includes, for example: including the identifier of the first scheduling object in the scheduled object group configuration; or, the carrier indication information of the scheduled objects corresponding to the scheduled object group configuration is associated with the first scheduling object.

[0086] In this embodiment, for example, if the scheduled object group includes cell A and cell B, and the scheduled object group configuration contains the identifier of scheduling cell 1, then cell A and cell B can be jointly scheduled by this scheduling cell 1.

[0087] In another example of this embodiment, if the scheduled object group includes cell A and cell B, and in the scheduled object group configuration, the carrier indication information of scheduled cell A and scheduled cell B both indicates cell 1, then cell 1 can jointly schedule scheduled cell A and scheduled cell B.

[0088] Based on any one of the above 4) to 6), for a given scheduling cell, the method for determining the corresponding scheduled object group is: determining the object corresponding to the object configuration and associated with the scheduling object; or, determining the scheduled object corresponding to the scheduled object configuration and associated with the scheduling object; or, determining the scheduled object group corresponding to the scheduled object group configuration and associated with the scheduling object.

[0089] Based on any one of the above 4) to 6), for a given first scheduled cell, the method for determining the corresponding first scheduled object group is as follows: In the object configuration or the scheduled object group configuration, the objects that contain, indicate, correspond to, or are associated with the first scheduled object form the first scheduled object group; or in the object configuration or the scheduled object group configuration, the scheduled objects that contain, indicate, correspond to, or are associated with the first scheduled object form the first scheduled object group.

[0090] 7) The terminal obtains the object configuration and the first scheduled object configuration, where the object corresponding to the object configuration is associated with the first scheduled object, the first scheduled object configuration indicates the object, and the first scheduled object group includes the object.

[0091] The example of the object being associated with the first scheduled object mentioned in this embodiment includes, for example, that the carrier indication information corresponding to the object indicates the first scheduled object. For example, the carrier indication information corresponding to the object is set to the identifier of the first scheduled object.

[0092] In this embodiment, for example, the CIFs of the scheduled cells A and B both indicate cell 1, and the configuration of cell 1 includes cells A and B. Then cell 1 can jointly schedule cells A and B. Cells A and B form the scheduled object group.

[0093] 8) The terminal obtains the scheduled object group configuration and the first scheduled object configuration, where the scheduled object or the scheduled object group corresponding to the scheduled object group configuration is associated with the first scheduled object, the first scheduled object configuration indicates the scheduled object or the scheduled object group, and the first scheduled object group includes the scheduled object or the scheduled object group.

[0094] The example of the scheduled object or the scheduled object group being associated with the first scheduled object mentioned in this embodiment includes, for example, that the carrier indication information corresponding to the scheduled object or the scheduled object group indicates the first scheduled object. For example, the carrier indication information corresponding to the scheduled object is set to the identifier of the first scheduled object; the carrier indication information corresponding to the scheduled object in the scheduled object group is set to the identifier of the first scheduled object.

[0095] In this embodiment, for example, the CIFs of the scheduled cells A and B both indicate cell 1, and the configuration of cell 1 includes the scheduled cell group corresponding to cells A and B. Then cell 1 can jointly schedule cells A and B.

[0096] Based on the above 7) or 8), for a given scheduled cell, the method for determining the corresponding scheduled object group is as follows: Determine the object that corresponds to the object configuration and is associated with the scheduled object, and the scheduled object configuration indicates this object. Or, determine the scheduled object group that corresponds to the scheduled object group configuration and is associated with the scheduled object, and the scheduled object configuration indicates this scheduled object group or indicates the scheduled object in this scheduled object group.

[0097] Based on the above 7) or 8), for a given first scheduled cell, the method for determining the corresponding first scheduled object group can be as follows: Among the object configuration or the scheduled object group configuration, the object or the scheduled object that contains, indicates, corresponds to, or is associated with the first scheduled object, and satisfies at least one of the following: a) In the first scheduled object configuration, it contains or indicates the above object or scheduled object, and the above object or scheduled object forms the first scheduled object group; b) In the first scheduled object configuration, it contains or indicates the first scheduled object group corresponding to the above object or scheduled object.

[0098] 9) The terminal obtains the object configuration, where the object configuration is associated with the first scheduled object, and the objects corresponding to the object configuration and having the same corresponding carrier indication information form the first scheduled object group.

Optionally, the carrier indication information of multiple scheduled objects indicates at least one of the same scheduled objects. Based on the above 9) or 10), for a given scheduled cell, the method for determining the corresponding scheduled object group is as follows: Determine the object that corresponds to the object configuration and has the same corresponding carrier indication information, and this object forms the scheduled object group. Or, determine the scheduled object that corresponds to the scheduled object group configuration and has the same corresponding carrier indication information.

[0102] Based on the above 9) or 10), for a given first scheduling object, the method for determining the corresponding first scheduled object group is as follows: in the object configuration or the scheduled object group configuration, the objects or the scheduled object groups that contain, indicate, correspond to, or are associated with the first scheduling object and have the same corresponding CIF form the first scheduled object group.

[0105] In this embodiment, for example, if the configuration of cell 1 indicates that the scheduling cell is cell 2, then scheduling cell 2 can schedule cell 1 on the target control resource set, and / or can use joint control information to schedule cell 1.

[0106] 12) The terminal obtains a scheduled object group configuration, where the scheduled object group configuration corresponds to a scheduled object of the first scheduling object, and the first scheduled object group is the one scheduled object.

[0107] In this embodiment, for example, if the scheduled object group includes cell 1 and the configuration of cell 1 indicates that the scheduling cell is cell 2, then scheduling cell 2 can schedule cell 1 on the target control resource set, and / or can use joint control information to schedule cell 1.

[0108] Optionally, the object configuration associated with the first scheduling object mentioned in the above examples 1) to 12) includes: the object configuration indicates the first scheduling object. For example, the object configuration indicates the identifier of the first scheduling object; or the carrier indication information of the object corresponding to the object configuration indicates the first scheduling object.

[0109] Optionally, the scheduled object group configuration associated with the first scheduling object mentioned in the above examples 1) to 12) includes: the scheduled object group configuration indicates the first scheduling object. For example, the scheduled object group configuration indicates the identifier of the first scheduling object; or the carrier indication information of the scheduled object corresponding to the scheduled object group configuration indicates the first scheduling object.

[0110] The "indication" mentioned in the above two examples can be an explicit indication, such as directly including an identifier; it can also be an implicit indication, such as indicating different identifiers through different coding methods, scrambling methods, or reference signals.

[0111] Optionally, the carrier indication information mentioned in the foregoing embodiments satisfies at least one of the following: 1) The carrier indication information is configured by a network-side device; 2) The carrier indication information is determined according to the carrier indication information of one or more scheduled objects. Wherein, the carrier indication information includes at least one of the following: the carrier indication information of an object, the carrier indication information of a scheduled object, and the carrier indication information of the first scheduled object group.

[0112] The carrier indication information mentioned in this embodiment may be a Carrier Indicator Field (CIF) or a carrier indication in a scheduling cell (cif-InSchedulingCell).

[0113] For example, in this embodiment, the CIF of a scheduled object group is determined according to the CIFs of at least one scheduled object included in the scheduled object group. Suppose the scheduled object group includes object 1 and object 2, and the CIFs of object 1 and object 2 are 3 and 4 respectively, then the CIF of the scheduled object group is determined according to 3 and 4.

[0114] Optionally, based on Embodiment 200, the method further includes the following steps: The terminal obtains a first scheduled object group configuration (hereinafter referred to as Method 1), that is, obtains the configuration of the first scheduled object group, and the first scheduled object group configuration satisfies at least one of the following 1) to 5):

[0115] 1) The first scheduled object group configuration is associated with at least two objects. For example, it is associated with the identifiers of at least two objects. Here, the at least two objects are at least two scheduled objects.

[0116] In this embodiment, the terminal can determine the scheduled object group according to the scheduled object group configuration. For example, the Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration includes a scheduled cells combination, which contains the identifiers of cells that can be jointly scheduled. Suppose it contains the identifiers of cell1 and cell2, then cell1 and cell2 can be jointly scheduled.

[0117] 2) The first scheduled object group configuration is associated with at least one scheduling object. For example, it is associated with the identifiers of at least one scheduling object.

[0118] In this embodiment, the terminal determines the scheduling object according to the scheduled object group configuration.

[0119] 3) The first scheduled object group configuration is associated with one or more scheduled object groups. For example, it is associated with the identifiers of one or more scheduled object groups, and each identifier is associated with at least two objects.

[0120] In this embodiment, the terminal determines the scheduled object group according to the configured scheduled object group.

[0121] 4) The first configured scheduled object group is included in the first scheduling object configuration.

[0122] In this embodiment, the terminal determines the object corresponding to the object configuration where the configured scheduled object group is located, and uses it as the scheduling cell of the scheduled object group associated with the scheduled object group.

[0123] For example, in this embodiment, the cell A configuration includes the configured scheduled object group, and the configured scheduled object group includes cells B and C. Then, cell A can jointly schedule cells B and C.

[0124] 5) The first configured scheduled object group includes the identifier of the first scheduling object.

[0125] In this embodiment, the terminal determines the scheduling object of the scheduled object group according to the identifier.

[0126] The above identifier may include multiple sub-identifiers. For example, if the object is a certain BWP of a certain cell, then it may include a cell identifier and a BWP identifier at this time.

[0127] This method mainly introduces a new configuration signaling to provide the corresponding relationship between the scheduled object group and the scheduling object.

[0128] Optionally, based on Embodiment 200, the method further includes the following steps: The terminal obtains a first scheduling object configuration (hereinafter referred to as Method 2), and the first scheduling object configuration satisfies at least one of the following:

[0129] 1) The first scheduling object configuration indicates that the scheduling object corresponding to the first scheduling object configuration supports or enables joint scheduling.

[0130] 2) The first scheduling object configuration includes a first configured scheduled object group. The first configured scheduled object group is, for example, the identifier of the first scheduled object group, and the identifier can be considered a kind of configuration.

[0131] 3) The first scheduling object configuration includes the configuration of at least one scheduled object within the first scheduled object group.

[0132] In this embodiment, the terminal determines that the objects corresponding to the object configurations containing the same scheduling object identifier belong to the same scheduled object group. For example, if the object configuration is the cross-carrier scheduling configuration (CrossCarrierSchedulingConfig) of the scheduled cell, since the CrossCarrierSchedulingConfig of the scheduled cell provides the scheduling cell ID (such as schedulingCellId), if the scheduling cell IDs (such as schedulingCellId) of two cells are the same, it means that these two cells can be jointly scheduled by the DCI of the cell corresponding to this scheduling cell ID.

[0133] The above identifier may include multiple sub-identifiers. For example, if the object is a certain BWP of a certain cell, then it may include a cell identifier and a BWP identifier at this time.

[0134] This method mainly reuses the correspondence between the scheduled object group and the scheduling object provided by the CrossCarrierSchedulingConfig.

[0135] Optionally, based on Embodiment 200, the method further includes the following steps: The terminal obtains an object configuration (referred to as Method 3, where Method 3 is Method 1 + Method 2), and the object configuration satisfies: the object configuration contains the identifier of the first scheduled object, and the object corresponding to the object configuration is associated with the first scheduled object.

[0136] In this embodiment, for example, the scheduling cell configuration contains information about the cell combination that can be jointly scheduled, and the scheduled cell configuration contains the scheduling cell ID.

[0137] Optionally, the terminal determines the first scheduled object group including: The terminal receives a first scheduling object configuration and a first scheduled object configuration; wherein, the first scheduling object configuration includes information about the scheduled objects supported by the first scheduling object for scheduling, and the first scheduled object configuration includes information about the scheduling object that supports scheduling the first scheduled object group.

[0138] Optionally, the methods provided in the foregoing embodiments further include the following steps: The terminal obtains blind detection information, and the blind detection information indicates at least one of the following:

[0139] 1) The number of blind detections for one or more of the first scheduled object groups. For example, the scheduling cell configuration contains the parameter total noofcandidates for joint scheduling, which is used for the joint control information of one or more scheduled object groups.

[0140] 2) The aggregation level for one or more of the first scheduled object groups.

[0141] 3) The number of blind detections for at least one scheduled object within one or more of the first scheduled object groups.

[0142] 4) The aggregation level for at least one scheduled object within one or more of the first scheduled object groups.

[0143] In each embodiment of the present application, the terminal can determine the first scheduling object and the first scheduled object group; then determine the target control resource set associated with the first scheduled object group, that is, after S202 and before S204, the following steps may further be included: The terminal determines the target control resource set associated with the first scheduled object group, and the first scheduling object sends joint control information through the target control resource set. The specific determination method can be referred to in Embodiments Five to Eight hereinafter.

[0144] Alternatively, the terminal can determine the target control resource set on the first scheduling object; then determine one or more of the first scheduled object groups associated with the first scheduling object, that is, before S202, the following steps may further be included: The terminal determines the target control resource set on the first scheduling object. The specific determination method can be referred to in Embodiments Five to Eight hereinafter.

[0145] To illustrate in detail the joint scheduling method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the following will be described in conjunction with several specific embodiments.

[0146] Embodiment One

[0147] As shown in this embodiment Figure 3 the configuration of cell0 includes two scheduled object groups. Group 1 is cells A and B, and Group 2 is cells B and C. Thus, the terminal determines that the joint control information of cell0 can be used to schedule cells A and B simultaneously, or cells B and C simultaneously.

[0148] Embodiment Two

[0149] As shown in this embodiment Figure 4 the configurations of cell A, cell B, and cell C include the IDs of the scheduled cells, all of which are 0. Thus, it is determined that these three cells can be scheduled by the joint control information of cell0.

[0150] Embodiment Three

[0151] As shown in this embodiment Figure 5 the configurations of cell A, cell B, and cell C include the IDs of the scheduled cells, all of which are 0. Thus, it is determined that these three cells can be scheduled by the joint control information of cell0.

[0152] The configuration of cell0 includes two scheduled object groups. Group 1 consists of cells A and B, and Group 2 consists of cells B and C. Thus, the terminal determines that the joint control information of cell0 can be used to schedule cells A and B simultaneously, or cells B and C simultaneously.

[0153] Embodiment 4

[0154] In this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, in the configurations of scheduled objects A and B, it is indicated that their scheduled object is cell2, and the CIFs of scheduled objects A and B are the same. Thus, the terminal determines that the joint control information of cell0 can be used to schedule cells A and B simultaneously.

[0155] Furthermore, when in the configurations of scheduled objects A and B, it is indicated that their scheduled object is cell2, and the CIFs indicated by both scheduled objects A and B are for cell2, the terminal determines that the joint control information of cell2 can be used to schedule cells A and B simultaneously.

[0156] Embodiment 5

[0157] In this embodiment, the terminal can determine the target SS through the SS ID and the full+lite configuration.

[0158] In this embodiment, the scheduling cell Cell0 can jointly schedule cell1 and cell2. The configuration of Cell0 includes the full configuration of search space 3 (SS3), and the configurations of the scheduled cells cell1 and cell2 include the lite configuration of SS3. Thus, cell0 can jointly schedule cell1 and cell2 through SS3.

[0159] Embodiment 6

[0160] In this embodiment, the terminal can determine the target SS through the scheduled object cell information included in the SS configuration.

[0161] In this embodiment, the scheduling Cell0 can jointly schedule cell1 and cell2. The configuration of Cell0 includes the full configuration of search space 3 (SS3), and SS3 is associated with cell1 and cell2. Thus, cell0 can jointly schedule cell1 and cell2 through SS3. Specifically, for example, the SS3 configuration carries the identifiers of cell1 and cell2, and thus the terminal determines that cell0 can jointly schedule cell1 and cell2 through SS3.

[0162] Embodiment 7

[0163] In this embodiment, the terminal can determine the target SS through the CIF corresponding to the SS and the CIF of the scheduled cell or scheduled cell group.

[0164] In this embodiment, for example, the scheduling cell Cell4 can jointly schedule cell1 and cell2, and the configuration of Cell4 includes the configuration of search space 3 (SS3).

[0165] Furthermore, the CIF corresponding to SS3 is the same as the CIF corresponding to cell1 / cell2. Specifically, for example, if the CIF associated with SS3 is 4, and the CIF of cell1 and cell2 is 4, then cell4 can jointly schedule cell1 and cell2 through SS3.

[0166] In another example of this embodiment, the scheduling cell Cell4 can jointly schedule cell1 and cell2, and the configuration of Cell4 includes the configuration of search space 3 (SS3). The scheduling cell Cell7 can jointly schedule cell7 and cell8, and the configuration of Cell7 includes the configuration of search space 3 (SS3).

[0167] Furthermore, the CIF corresponding to SS3 includes the CIF corresponding to cell1 and cell2. Specifically, for example, if the CIF associated with SS3 is 4 and 7, and the CIF of cell1 and cell2 is 4, then cell4 can jointly schedule cell1 and cell2 through SS3.

[0168] Embodiment 8

[0169] In this embodiment, the SS configuration directly or indirectly indicates that the terminal needs to monitor a cell group, or indicates that the SS is used for joint scheduling.

[0170] In this embodiment, for example, the scheduling Cell0 can jointly schedule cell1 and cell2, and the configuration of Cell0 includes the full configuration of search space 3 (SS3), and the SS3 configuration indicates that the cell group to be jointly scheduled needs to be monitored, then cell0 can jointly schedule cell1 and cell2 through SS3.

[0171] In this embodiment, for example, the scheduling Cell0 can jointly schedule cell1 and cell2, and the configuration of Cell0 includes the full configuration of search space 3 (SS3), and the SS3 configuration includes the relevant parameters of the joint control information, then cell0 can jointly schedule cell1 and cell2 through SS3.

[0172] In this embodiment, for example, the scheduling Cell0 can jointly schedule cell1 and cell2, and the configuration of Cell0 includes the full configuration of search space 3 (SS3), and the SS3 configuration indicates that it can be used for joint scheduling, for example, indicating that the joint scheduling function is enabled, then cell0 can jointly schedule cell1 and cell2 through SS3.
