Communication method and communications apparatus

A communications apparatus, comprising:

• a transceiver;
• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the processor, the program including instructions to:
• receive, through the transceiver, scheduling information from an access network device, wherein the scheduling information indicates at least one uplink subframe, wherein the scheduling information comprises a first indication field a second indication field, and a third indication field, wherein the first indication field indicates whether each of the at least one uplink subframe is applicable to a first mode, wherein the second indication field indicates whether a first uplink subframe is applicable to a second mode, wherein the third indication field indicates whether a third uplink subframe is applicable to a third mode, wherein the at least one uplink subframe comprises the third uplink subframe, and wherein the at least one uplink subframe comprises the first uplink subframe and the third uplink subframe;
• and
• cause the transceiver to send first uplink information in the first uplink subframe by using the second mode in response to the first indication field indicating that each of the at least one uplink subframe is applicable to the first mode and further in response to the second indication field indicating that the first uplink subframe is applicable to the second mode;
• and
• perform, in response to the first indication field indicating that each of the at least one uplink subframe is applicable to the first mode, further in response to the second indication field indicating that the first uplink subframe is applicable to the second mode, and further in response to the third indication field indicating that the third uplink subframe is applicable to the third mode:
• send third uplink information in the first uplink subframe by using the second mode;
• and
• send fourth uplink information in the third uplink subframe by using the third mode.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by a processor of a terminal device processor, the program including instructions for:

• receiving scheduling information from an access network device, wherein the scheduling information indicates at least one uplink subframe, wherein the scheduling information comprises a first indication field, a second indication field, and a third indication field, wherein the first indication field indicates whether each of the at least one uplink subframe is applicable to a first mode, wherein the second indication field indicates whether a first uplink subframe is applicable to a second mode, wherein the third indication field indicates whether a third uplink subframe is applicable to a third mode, wherein the at least one uplink subframe comprises the third uplink subframe, and wherein the at least one uplink subframe comprises the first uplink subframe and the third uplink subframe;
• sending, in response to the first indication field indicating that each of the at least one uplink subframe is applicable to the first mode and further in response to the second indication field indicating that the first uplink subframe is applicable to the second mode, first uplink information in the first uplink subframe by using the second mode;
• and
• performing, in response to the first indication field indicating that each of the at least one uplink subframe is applicable to the first mode, further in response to the second indication field indicating that the first uplink subframe is applicable to the second mode, and further in response to the third indication field indicating that the third uplink subframe is applicable to the third mode:
• sending third uplink information in the first uplink subframe by using the second mode;
• and
• sending fourth uplink information in the third uplink subframe by using the third mode.
