Abstract
A method, a base station (BS), and a user terminal are provided for implementing uplink resource indication. The method includes carrying an uplink resource index in an uplink resource grant (UL Grant), in which an uplink resource index corresponds to at least one uplink resource in terms of indication; and sending the UL Grant. The BS includes an index carrying module and an instruction sending module. The user terminal includes an instruction receiving module, an instruction resolving module, and an execution module.
Claims23
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a user terminal from a base station, uplink grant signaling, the uplink grant signaling carrying at least one uplink resource index of a plurality of uplink resource indices;
- determining, by the user terminal based upon the uplink resource index, a first subframe group of a plurality of subframe groups, each subframe group having one or two uplink subframes, the uplink resource index identifying the first subframe group, each of the plurality of uplink resource indices corresponding to one group of the plurality of subframe groups, at least one group in the plurality of subframe groups consisting of two uplink subframes, and at least one other of the remaining subframe groups consisting of one uplink subframe.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a storage medium including executable instructions;
- and
- a processor;
- wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
- receive an uplink grant signaling, wherein the uplink grant signaling carries at least one uplink resource index of a plurality of uplink resource indices;
- determine, based on the uplink resource index, a first subframe group of a plurality of subframe groups, each subframe group having at least one uplink subframe, the uplink resource index identifying the first subframe group, each of the plurality of uplink resource indices corresponding to one group of the plurality of subframe groups, at least one group in the plurality of subframe groups consisting of two uplink subframes, and at least one other of the remaining subframe groups consisting of one uplink subframe.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer instructions that, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving uplink grant signaling, wherein the uplink grant signaling carries an uplink resource index of a plurality of uplink resource indices;
- determining, based on the uplink resource index, a first subframe group of a plurality of subframe groups, each subframe group having one or two uplink subframes, the uplink resource index identifying the first subframe group, each of the plurality of uplink resource indices corresponding to one group of the plurality of subframe groups, at least one group in the plurality of subframe groups consisting of two uplink subframes, and at least one other of the remaining subframe groups consisting of one uplink subframes.
A user terminal, comprising:
- a transceiver, and
- a processor, coupled to the transceiver, wherein:
- the transceiver is configured to receive uplink grant signaling, the uplink grant signaling carrying one of a plurality of uplink resource indices;
- and
- the processor is configured to determine, based on the uplink resource index, a first subframe group of a plurality of subframe groups, each subframe group having one or two uplink subframes, the uplink resource index identifying the first subframe group, each of the plurality of uplink resource indices corresponding to one group of the plurality of subframe groups, at least one group in the plurality of subframe groups consisting of two uplink subframes, and at least one other of the remaining subframe groups consisting of one uplink subframe.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer instructions that, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining a corresponding relationship between a plurality of downlink subframes, a plurality of uplink subframe sets correlated with the plurality of downlink subframes, and a plurality of uplink resource indices, each of the plurality of uplink resource indices corresponding to one of a plurality of subframe groups each having one or two uplink subframes, at least one group in the plurality of subframe groups consisting of two uplink subframes, and at least one other of the remaining groups consisting of one uplink subframe;
- and
- sending uplink grant signaling to a user terminal on a first downlink subframe, the uplink grant signaling comprising one of the plurality of uplink resource indices and identifies one of the plurality of subframe groups.
