Abstract
Description

[0002] For a cell group, when the primary cell performs resource scheduling, if the resources available for self-scheduling are insufficient or tight, the secondary cell can be quickly activated for the terminal, and the secondary cell is instructed to cross-carrier schedule the resources of the primary cell.
[0003] Since the network activates the secondary cell by using the temporary reference signal, the current media access control layer control element (MAC CE) for secondary cell activation only indicates whether the secondary cell is activated, and whether the secondary cell activates the use of the temporary reference signal and which temporary reference signal configuration is used needs to be configured to the terminal through other signaling.

[0065] The information configuration method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and some embodiments and application scenarios.
[0066] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a flowchart of an information configuration method provided by the embodiments of the present application. The information configuration method includes:
[0067] In step 201, the network-side device sends first information of a cell group serving the terminal to the terminal, wherein the first information comprises:
[0068] M activation or deactivation indication information; the activation or deactivation indication information is used to indicate whether to activate a corresponding secondary cell;
[0069] and
[0070] N temporary reference signal configuration indication information; the temporary reference signal configuration indication information is used to indicate a temporary reference signal configuration used by the terminal to activate a secondary cell or a secondary cell group; the secondary cell group comprises one or more secondary cells;
[0071] wherein M is equal to a number of secondary cells configured to the terminal, N and M are integers greater than or equal to 1; N is less than or equal to M.
[0072] In the embodiments of the present application, the network-side device sends first information of a cell group serving the terminal to the terminal, the first information comprises M activation or deactivation indication information and N temporary reference signal configuration indication information, and the terminal can activate a secondary cell quickly according to the first information.
[0073] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the network-side device sends the first information to the terminal in step 201, comprising:
[0074] The network-side device sends a medium access layer control element (MAC CE) to the terminal, and the MAC CE carries the first information.
[0075] In the embodiments of the present application, the MAC CE indicating the quick activation of the secondary cell needs to indicate whether the secondary cell is activated and the temporary reference signal configuration used by the activated secondary cell or secondary cell group at the same time, so as to realize the quick activation of the secondary cell by the terminal, i.e., to accelerate the activation process of the secondary cell.
[0076] Optionally, the temporary reference signal configuration comprises various sub-information, such as the number of reference signals (sets), the interval between the reference signals, the offset of the reference signals to the reference time domain position, etc., which are not limited here.
[0077] For example, M is equal to 31, i.e., the MAC CE comprises 31 activation or deactivation indication information, and each activation or deactivation indication information corresponds to whether a corresponding secondary cell is activated. Optionally, one activation or deactivation indication information occupies one bit. If the bit is 1, it indicates to activate the corresponding secondary cell, and if the bit is 0, it indicates to deactivate the corresponding secondary cell.
[0078] Optionally, N is less than or equal to M; for example, N can be equal to 31, or any integer less than 31.
[0079] Specifically, the value of N is the same as the number of activated secondary cells; for example, the number of activated secondary cells is 5, and the value of N is 5; for another example, the number of activated secondary cells is 7, and the value of N is 7; that is, the number of bits carried by the MAC CE is variable, and the number of bits carried by the MAC CE is positively correlated with the number of activated secondary cells.
[0080] Or,
[0081] The value of N is the same as the number of activated secondary cell groups; for example, the number of activated secondary cell groups is 6, and the value of N is 6; for another example, the number of activated secondary cell groups is 8, and the value of N is 8; that is, the number of bits carried by the MAC CE is variable, and the number of bits carried by the MAC CE is positively correlated with the number of activated secondary cell groups.
[0082] Or,
[0083] The value of N is the same as the number of secondary cells configured with temporary reference signal configuration by the second RRC signaling; for example, the second RRC signaling configures 7 secondary cells with temporary reference signal configuration, and the value of N is equal to 7; that is, the number of bits carried by the MAC CE is variable, and the number of bits carried by the MAC CE is positively correlated with the number of secondary cells configured with temporary reference signal configuration in the RRC signaling.
[0084] Or,
[0085] The value of N is the same as the number of secondary cell groups configured with temporary reference signal configuration by the second RRC signaling; for example, the second RRC signaling configures 4 secondary cell groups with temporary reference signal configuration, and the value of N is equal to 4; that is, the number of bits carried by the MAC CE is variable, and the number of bits carried by the MAC CE is positively correlated with the number of secondary cell groups configured with temporary reference signal configuration in the RRC signaling.
[0086] Or,
[0087] The value of N is configured by the network side device or pre-agreed; in this case, the value of N can be a fixed value; accordingly, the number of bits carried by the corresponding MAC CE in this case is a fixed value.
[0088] In the embodiments of the present application, the network side device dynamically adjusts the number of bits carried by the MAC CE according to the number of activated secondary cells or the number of activated secondary cell groups or the number of secondary cells or the number of secondary cell groups configured with temporary reference signal configuration in the RRC signaling, so as to minimize the number of bits carried by the MAC CE in the case of being able to quickly activate the secondary cell.
[0089] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises:
[0090] The network-side device indicates the number of bits occupied by the temporary reference signal configuration indication information through the MAC CE.
[0091] Alternatively,
[0092] The network-side device indicates the number of bits occupied by the temporary reference signal configuration indication information through the first radio resource control (RRC) signaling.
[0093] Alternatively,
[0094] The network-side device indirectly indicates the number of bits occupied by the temporary reference signal configuration indication information through the maximum number of temporary reference signal configurations configured for a secondary cell in the first RRC signaling; for example, if the maximum number of temporary reference signal configurations configured for a secondary cell in the first RRC signaling is 3, the number of bits occupied by the temporary reference signal configuration indication information is 2.
[0095] Alternatively,
[0096] The network-side device indirectly indicates the number of bits occupied by the temporary reference signal configuration indication information through the maximum number of temporary reference signal configurations configured for a secondary cell group in the first RRC signaling; for example, if the maximum number of temporary reference signal configurations configured for a secondary cell group in the first RRC signaling is 6, the number of bits occupied by the temporary reference signal configuration indication information is 3.
[0097] The first RRC signaling is used to configure at least one temporary reference signal configuration for a secondary cell or a secondary cell group of the terminal.
[0098] Example 1: MAC CE for fast activation of a secondary cell
[0099] When the network activates a secondary cell for a terminal, a temporary reference signal (Temporary RS) can be used to speed up the activation of the secondary cell. The network can configure or pre-configure multiple Temporary RS configurations for each secondary cell (SCell) in a cell group (Cell Group) serving the terminal.
[0100] When the MAC CE for fast activation of a secondary cell is a MAC CE with variable length, it can also be referred to as a MAC CE with variable number of bits, or a MAC CE occupying a variable number of bits. A MAC protocol data unit (PDU) carrying the MAC CE is composed of a MAC subheader and the MAC CE. The MAC subheader includes an L field indicating the size of the corresponding MAC CE in bytes.
[0101] When the network configures or pre-configures the terminal with multiple Temporary RS configurations for each SCell in the cell group of the service terminal, and up to 3 configurations are supported for each SCell, the network can use 2 bits in the MAC CE to indicate which Temporary RS configuration is activated in one SCell (i.e. the temporary reference signal configuration indication information occupies 2 bits), for example, 00 can represent that the SCell does not activate the use of Temporary RS, and 01 / 10 / 11 represent the first configuration / second configuration / third configuration of the Temporary RS configuration sequence of the SCell respectively.
[0102] For example, the above 2 bits are used to indicate the Temporary RS configuration of one secondary cell, and for supporting up to 31 secondary cells, the number N of temporary reference signal configuration indication information is the same as the number of activated secondary cells, the design of the MAC CE includes:
[0103] For the case where the number m of activated secondary cells satisfies m%4=0, the design of the MAC CE is as follows: Figure 3 , Figure 3 For the case where the number m of activated secondary cells satisfies m%4=1, the design of the MAC CE is as follows:
[0104] For the case where the number m of activated secondary cells satisfies m%4=2, the design of the MAC CE is as follows: Figure 4 , Figure 4 For the case where the number m of activated secondary cells satisfies m%4=3, the design of the MAC CE is as follows:
[0105] For the case where the number m of activated secondary cells satisfies m%4=3, the design of the MAC CE is as follows: Figure 5 , Figure 5 For the case where the number m of activated secondary cells satisfies m%4=3, the design of the MAC CE is as follows:
[0106] For the case where the number m of activated secondary cells satisfies m%4=3, the design of the MAC CE is as follows: Figure 6 , Figure 6 For the case where the number m of activated secondary cells satisfies m%4=3, the design of the MAC CE is as follows:
[0107] Wherein, the above "the number m of activated secondary cells", m refers to the number of activated SCells among the 31 secondary cells (SCells), that is Figures 3-6 , C1-C 31 , C1-C 31 , C1-C i , C1-C
[0108] For example, m=(N-5)*4; for example, Figure 3 , m=(N-5)*4+1; for example, Figure 4 , m=(N-5)*4+2; for example, Figure 5For example, it can be understood that m=(N-5)*4+2; and Figure 6 For example, it can be understood that m=(N-5)*4+3. N is the number of bytes contained in the MAC CE.
[0109] Figures 3-6 In the TemporaryRS Index i indicates the temporary reference signal configuration indication information of the activated secondary cell. In the TemporaryRS Index i The correspondence between the activated SCell and the TemporaryRS Index
[0110] For example, the correspondence in ascending order is as follows: Figure 7 For example, the TemporaryRS Index i corresponds to the SCell indicated by the C i bit set to 1 in the ascending order. Figure 7 In the case where 6 SCells are activated, the MAC CE can be configured in the form of Figure 5 . In the form, C1, C 11 , C 14 , C 21 , C 26 , C 28 are set to 1. TemporaryRS Index 1 is set to 10, that is, the second configuration of the Temporary RS configuration list of the secondary cell C1 is corresponded. TemporaryRS Index 2 is set to 01, that is, the first configuration of the Temporary RS configuration list of the secondary cell C 11 is corresponded; TemporaryRS Index 4 is set to 00, that is, it means that the secondary cell C 21 does not activate the use of Temporary RS, even if the secondary cell C 21 is configured with the Temporary RS configuration.
[0111] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises:
[0112] The network side device sends second information of a cell group serving the terminal to the terminal; and the second information is used to indicate that the primary cell supports self-scheduling and cross-carrier scheduling of resources.
[0113] In the embodiment of the present application, the network side device sends second information of a cell group serving the terminal to the terminal, and the terminal can determine, according to the second information, that the primary cell supports self-scheduling and cross-carrier scheduling of resources, thereby realizing cross-carrier scheduling of resources of the primary cell by the secondary cell.
[0114] Correspondingly, the second information is cross carrier scheduling configuration information (Cross Carrier Scheduling Config) ; the network side device sends second information of a cell group serving the terminal to the terminal, and the second information comprises:
[0115] The network side device sends third RRC signaling to the terminal; the third RRC signaling carries the cross carrier scheduling configuration information; and the cross carrier scheduling configuration information comprises a scheduling cell information field (schedulingCellInfo).
[0116] In a case where the scheduling cell information field is set as other cell scheduling, the cross carrier scheduling configuration information indicates that the primary cell supports self-scheduling and cross carrier scheduling.
[0117] For example, an SCell that can cross carrier schedule the resources of a primary (secondary) cell (P (S) Cell) can be referred to as a sSCell (scheduling SCell). When schedulingCellInfo in "CrossCarrierSchedulingConfig" configured on the P (S) Cell is other, it is implicitly indicated that the resources of the P (S) Cell can be simultaneously self-scheduled and cross carrier scheduled by the sSCell.
[0118] In a case where the scheduling cell information field is set as other cell scheduling, the cross carrier scheduling configuration information further comprises:
[0119] A scheduling cell carrier indication field (cif-InSchedulingCell), wherein a value configured by the carrier indication field is associated with the primary cell, or a value configured by the carrier indication field is associated with another secondary cell that can be cross carrier scheduled by the secondary cell; for example, the value configured by the carrier indication field can be any one value in an optional value field.
[0120] Optionally, the cross carrier scheduling configuration information further comprises scheduling cell identification information (schedulingCellId), wherein the scheduling cell identification information is used to indicate the identification of a secondary cell that can cross carrier schedule the resources of a primary cell; for example, the schedulingCellId indicates the ID of the sSCell.
[0121] In the embodiments of the present application, the Cell ID of the sSCell is indicated by the schedulingCellId, and the value configured by the cif-InSchedulingCell can be determined by a predefined rule or can be any non-zero value, which can be associated with the primary cell (implicitly indicating that the resources of the primary cell can be cross carrier scheduled by the corresponding secondary cell).
[0122] The method further comprises:
[0123] The network-side device sends downlink control information to the terminal, and the downlink control information carries a carrier indication field. For example, the network-side device is a network-side device corresponding to a secondary cell.
[0124] Correspondingly, the terminal determines whether to cross-carrier schedule a primary cell or a secondary cell associated with a configured value of the scheduling cell carrier indication field according to a value of the carrier indication field carried in the downlink control information and the configured value of the scheduling cell carrier indication field.
[0125] For example, the value 2 of the carrier indication field is preconfigured or pre-agreed to be associated with a primary cell. If the value of the CIF in the downlink control information sent by the secondary cell sSCell 2 as a scheduling cell is 2, it indicates that the scheduling information in the downlink control information is used to cross-carrier schedule resources of the corresponding primary cell. Further, if the value of the CIF in the downlink control information sent by the sSCell 2 is 0, it indicates that the scheduling information in the downlink control information is used to schedule resources of the sSCell 2 itself.
[0126] In the embodiments of the present application, the network-side device sends first information of a cell group serving the terminal to the terminal, the first information includes M activation or deactivation indication information and N temporary reference signal configuration indication information, and the terminal can activate a secondary cell quickly according to the first information; and the network-side device sends cross-carrier scheduling configuration information of the cell group serving the terminal to the terminal, and the terminal can determine whether a primary cell supports self-scheduling and cross-carrier scheduling of resources according to the cross-carrier scheduling configuration information, thereby realizing cross-carrier scheduling of resources of the primary cell by the secondary cell.
[0127] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 Another flowchart of the information configuration method provided in the embodiments of the present application is provided, and the information configuration method includes:
[0128] In step 801, the terminal receives first information of a cell group serving the terminal sent by a network-side device, wherein the first information includes:
[0129] M activation or deactivation indication information; the activation or deactivation indication information is used to indicate whether to activate a corresponding secondary cell;
[0130] and
[0131] N temporary reference signal configuration indication information; the temporary reference signal configuration indication information is used to indicate a temporary reference signal configuration used by the terminal to activate a secondary cell or a secondary cell group; the secondary cell group includes one or more secondary cells;
[0132] Wherein, M is equal to the number of the secondary cells configured to the terminal, N and M are integers greater than or equal to 1; N is less than or equal to M.

[0134] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the terminal receives the first information of the cell group serving the terminal sent by the network side device in step 801, which includes:
[0135] The terminal receives a medium access layer control element (MAC CE) carrying the first information.
[0136] In the embodiments of the present application, the MAC CE indicating the quick activation of the secondary cell needs to indicate whether the secondary cell is activated and the temporary reference signal configuration used by the activated secondary cell or cell group at the same time, so as to realize the quick activation of the secondary cell by the terminal, i.e., to accelerate the activation process of the secondary cell.
[0137] Optionally, the temporary reference signal configuration contains various sub-information, such as the number of reference signals (set), the interval between the reference signals, the offset of the reference signal and the reference time domain position, etc., which are not limited here.
[0138] For example, M is equal to 31, i.e., the MAC CE includes 31 activation or deactivation indication information, and each activation or deactivation indication information corresponds to whether the corresponding secondary cell is activated. Optionally, one activation or deactivation indication information occupies 1 bit. If the bit is 1, it indicates that the corresponding secondary cell is activated, and if the bit is 0, it indicates that the corresponding secondary cell is deactivated.
[0139] Optionally, N is less than or equal to M; for example, N can be equal to 31 or any integer less than 31.
[0140] Specifically, the value of N is the same as the number of activated secondary cells; for example, the number of activated secondary cells is 5, and the value of N is 5; for another example, the number of activated secondary cells is 7, and the value of N is 7; i.e., the number of bits carried by the MAC CE is variable, and the number of bits carried by the MAC CE is positively correlated with the number of activated secondary cells.
[0141] Or,
[0142] The value of N is the same as the number of activated secondary cell groups; for example, the number of activated secondary cell groups is 6, and the value of N is 6; for another example, the number of activated secondary cell groups is 8, and the value of N is 8; that is, the number of bits carried by the MAC CE is variable, and the number of bits carried by the MAC CE is positively correlated with the number of activated secondary cell groups;
[0143] Or,
[0144] The value of N is the same as the number of secondary cells configured with temporary reference signal configuration by the second RRC signaling; for example, the second RRC signaling configures temporary reference signal configuration for 7 secondary cells, and the value of N is equal to 7; that is, the number of bits carried by the MAC CE is variable, and the number of bits carried by the MAC CE is positively correlated with the number of secondary cells configured with temporary reference signal configuration in the RRC signaling;
[0145] Or,
[0146] The value of N is the same as the number of secondary cell groups configured with temporary reference signal configuration by the second RRC signaling; for example, the second RRC signaling configures temporary reference signal configuration for 4 secondary cell groups, and the value of N is equal to 4; that is, the number of bits carried by the MAC CE is variable, and the number of bits carried by the MAC CE is positively correlated with the number of secondary cell groups configured with temporary reference signal configuration in the RRC signaling;
[0147] Or,
[0148] The value of N is configured by the network side device or pre-agreed; in this case, the value of N can be a fixed value; accordingly, the number of bits carried by the corresponding MAC CE is a fixed value in this case.
[0149] In the embodiments of the present application, the network side device dynamically adjusts the number of bits carried by the MAC CE according to the number of activated secondary cells or the number of activated secondary cell groups or the number of secondary cells or the number of secondary cell groups configured with temporary reference signal configuration in the RRC signaling, so that the MAC CE can reduce the number of bits carried by the MAC CE as much as possible in the case of being able to quickly activate the secondary cell.
[0150] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises:
[0151] The terminal determines the number of bits occupied by one temporary reference signal configuration indication information according to the display indication of the MAC CE;
[0152] Or,
[0153] The terminal determines the number of bits occupied by one temporary reference signal configuration indication information according to the display indication of the first radio resource control (RRC) signaling;
[0154] Or,
[0155] The terminal determines the number of bits occupied by one temporary reference signal configuration indication information according to the maximum number of temporary reference signal configurations configured for one secondary cell in the first RRC signaling; for example, the maximum number of temporary reference signal configurations configured for one secondary cell in the first RRC signaling is 3, and the number of bits occupied by one temporary reference signal configuration indication information is 2.
[0156] Or,
[0157] The terminal determines the number of bits occupied by one temporary reference signal configuration indication information according to the maximum number of temporary reference signal configurations configured for one secondary cell group in the first RRC signaling; for example, the maximum number of temporary reference signal configurations configured for one secondary cell group in the first RRC signaling is 6, and the number of bits occupied by one temporary reference signal configuration indication information is 3.
[0158] The first RRC signaling is used to configure at least one temporary reference signal configuration for a secondary cell or a secondary cell group of the terminal.
[0159] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises:
[0160] The terminal receives second information of a cell group serving the terminal sent by the network side device; the second information is used to indicate that the primary cell supports self-scheduling and cross-carrier scheduling of resources.
[0161] In the embodiment of the present application, the network side device sends second information of a cell group serving the terminal to the terminal, and the terminal can determine that the primary cell supports self-scheduling and cross-carrier scheduling of resources according to the second information, thereby realizing cross-carrier scheduling of resources of the primary cell by the secondary cell.

[0163] The terminal receives third RRC signaling; the third RRC signaling carries the cross-carrier scheduling configuration information; the cross-carrier scheduling configuration information comprises scheduling cell information field (schedulingCellInfo);
[0164] When the scheduling cell information field is set to other (other) cell scheduling, the cross-carrier scheduling configuration information indicates that the primary cell supports self-scheduling and cross-carrier scheduling of resources.
[0165] For example, an SCell that can be cross-carrier scheduled for a primary (secondary) cell (P(S)Cell) resource can be referred to as a sSCell (scheduling SCell). When schedulingCellInfo = other in "CrossCarrierSchedulingConfig" configured on a P(S)Cell, it is implicitly indicated that the resource of the P(S)Cell can be simultaneously self-scheduled and cross-carrier scheduled by a sSCell.
[0166] In a case where the scheduling cell information field is set to other cell scheduling, the cross-carrier scheduling configuration information further includes:
[0167] A scheduling cell carrier indication field (cif-InSchedulingCell), a value configured by the carrier indication field is associated with a primary cell, or a value configured by the carrier indication field is associated with another secondary cell that can be cross-carrier scheduled by a secondary cell; for example, the value configured by the carrier indication field can be any one value in an optional value field.
[0168] Optionally, the cross-carrier scheduling configuration information further includes: scheduling cell identification information (schedulingCellId), the scheduling cell identification information is used to indicate the identification of a secondary cell that can cross-carrier schedule a primary cell resource; for example, schedulingCellId indicates the ID of a sSCell.
[0169] In an embodiment of the present application, the Cell ID of a sSCell is indicated by schedulingCellId, and the value configured by cif-InSchedulingCell can be determined by a predefined rule or can be any non-zero value, which can be associated with a primary cell (implicitly indicating that the resource of the primary cell can be cross-carrier scheduled by a corresponding secondary cell).

[0171] The terminal receives the downlink control information sent by the network side device, and the downlink control information carries a carrier indication field;
[0172] The terminal determines whether to cross-carrier schedule a primary cell or a secondary cell associated with the value configured by the scheduling cell carrier indication field according to the value of the carrier indication field carried by the downlink control information and the value configured by the scheduling cell carrier indication field according to the downlink control information.
[0173] For example, the network side device is a network side device corresponding to a secondary cell.
[0174] For example, the value 2 of the pre-configured or pre-agreed carrier indication field is associated with a primary cell, and if the value of the CIF in the downlink control information sent by the secondary cell sSCell 2 as a scheduling cell is 2, it indicates that the scheduling information in the downlink control information is used for the sSCell 2 to schedule resources of the corresponding primary cell in a cross-carrier manner. Further, if the value of the CIF in the downlink control information sent by the sSCell 2 is 0, it indicates that the scheduling information in the downlink control information is used for scheduling resources of the sSCell 2 itself.
[0175] In the embodiments of the present application, the network side device sends first information of a cell group serving the terminal to the terminal, the first information includes M activation or deactivation indication information and N temporary reference signal configuration indication information, and the terminal can activate a secondary cell quickly according to the first information; and the network side device sends cross-carrier scheduling configuration information of the cell group serving the terminal to the terminal, and the terminal can determine that the primary cell supports self-scheduling and cross-carrier scheduling of resources according to the cross-carrier scheduling configuration information, thereby realizing cross-carrier scheduling of resources of the primary cell by the secondary cell.

[0190] For example, the value 2 of the pre-configured or pre-agreed carrier indication field is associated with the primary cell, and if the value of the CIF in the downlink control information sent by the secondary cell sSCell 2 as a scheduling cell is 2, it indicates that the scheduling information in the downlink control information is used for the sSCell 2 to schedule the resources of the corresponding primary cell in a cross-carrier manner. Further, if the value of the CIF in the downlink control information sent by the sSCell 2 is 0, it indicates that the scheduling information in the downlink control information is used for scheduling the resources of the sSCell 2 itself.
[0191] In the embodiment of the present application, the network side device sends the cross-carrier scheduling configuration information of the cell group serving the terminal to the terminal, and the terminal can determine that the primary cell supports self-scheduling and cross-carrier scheduling of resources according to the cross-carrier scheduling configuration information, thereby realizing cross-carrier scheduling of the resources of the primary cell by the secondary cell.

[0197] In the case where the scheduling cell information field is set to other (other) cell scheduling, the cross-carrier scheduling configuration information indicates that the primary cell supports self-scheduling and cross-carrier scheduling of resources.
[0198] For example, an SCell that can be cross-carrier scheduled for a primary (secondary) cell (P(S)Cell) resource can be referred to as a sSCell (scheduling SCell). When schedulingCellInfo = other in "CrossCarrierSchedulingConfig" configured on a P(S)Cell, it is implicitly indicated that the resource of the P(S)Cell can be simultaneously self-scheduled and cross-carrier scheduled by a sSCell.

[0205] The terminal determines whether to cross-carrier schedule a primary cell or a secondary cell associated with the value configured in the scheduling cell carrier indication field according to the value of the carrier indication field carried in the downlink control information and the value configured in the scheduling cell carrier indication field.
[0206] For example, the network side device is a network side device corresponding to a secondary cell.
[0207] For example, the value 2 of the pre-configured or pre-agreed carrier indication field is associated with the primary cell, and if the value of the CIF in the downlink control information sent by the secondary cell sSCell 2 as a scheduling cell is 2, it indicates that the scheduling information in the downlink control information is used for the sSCell 2 to schedule the resources of the corresponding primary cell in a cross-carrier manner. Further, if the value of the CIF in the downlink control information sent by the sSCell 2 is 0, it indicates that the scheduling information in the downlink control information is used for scheduling the resources of the sSCell 2 itself.
