In the embodiments of this application, an association relationship between a scheduling object and a scheduled object group may be semi-statically determined. In this method, the terminal may determine a first scheduled object group that may be scheduled by a first scheduling object. In the embodiments of this application, alternatively, an association relationship between a scheduling object and a scheduled object group may be dynamically determined. For example, joint control information of a scheduling cell carries information about a scheduled cell group.
According to the joint scheduling method provided in the embodiments of this application, a terminal may determine a first scheduling object and a first scheduled object group whose scheduling is supported by the first scheduling object, and a network side device may configure, for the terminal, the first scheduling object and the first scheduled object group whose scheduling is supported by the first scheduling object, so that a receive end and a transmit end (for example, a terminal and a network side device or a terminal and another terminal) have the same understanding of a scheduling object and a scheduled object.

In the embodiments of this application, C indicates D, and in an implementation method, C indicates an identifier of D. For example, that an object configuration indicates a first scheduling object may be specifically that the object configuration indicates an identifier of the first scheduling object.
With reference to the accompanying drawings, the following describes in detail a joint scheduling method and a device provided in the embodiments of this application by using some embodiments and application scenes thereof.
As shown in
S202: A terminal determines a first scheduling object and a first scheduled object group.
S204: The terminal monitors joint control information on the first scheduling object, where the first scheduling object at least supports scheduling the first scheduled object group, the first scheduled object group includes at least one scheduled object, and the joint control information supports scheduling at least two scheduled objects.
The objects mentioned in this embodiment of this application, such as a scheduling object and a scheduled object, may 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, another control signal, and the like. In the following embodiment, a scheduling cell is used as an example to describe a scheduling object, and a scheduled cell is used as an example to describe a scheduled object.
The joint control information may be control information for scheduling or indicating a plurality of objects, or may be control information including scheduling information fields of a plurality of objects. The joint control information may be joint downlink control information (DCI), joint sidelink control information (SCI), or the like. A control resource set in which the joint control information is located may also be referred to as a joint control resource set, such as a search space (SS).
The joint control information may be transmitted on a control resource set. The control resource set may include at least one of the following: a search space (SS), a control resource set (CORESET), a monitoring occasion, a slot, and a time span.
In this embodiment, the joint control information supports scheduling at least two scheduled objects, but in a special case, the joint control information is used to schedule only one scheduled object.
In this embodiment, a network side device may configure the first scheduling object and the first scheduled object group for the terminal. In this way, the terminal may determine the first scheduling object and the first scheduled object group, and monitor, blindly detect, send, or receive the joint control information on the first scheduling object.
The “transmission” mentioned in the embodiments of this application may be understood as a generalized concept, and may include monitoring, blind detection, sending, or receiving. This embodiment of this application may be applied to a transmit end terminal, or may be applied to a receive end terminal.
Application scenes of the embodiments of this application may be classified into two types: Scene 1: A network side device interacts with a terminal, where the network side device generally serves as a transmit end, and the terminal generally serves as a receive end. Scene 2: A network side device, a transmit end terminal, and a receive end terminal interact with each other. In the scene 2, the network side device generally configures a first scheduling object and a first scheduled object group for the transmit end terminal and/or the receive end terminal, the transmit end terminal sends joint control information by using the first scheduling object, and the receive end terminal monitors, blindly detects, or receives the joint control information; or the network side device sends joint control information in a target control resource set, and the transmit end terminal monitors, blindly detects, or receives the joint control information in the target control resource set, and sends a signal or a channel to the receive end terminal according to an indication or scheduling of the joint control information, for example, sends a sidelink signal or channel. In an example, this embodiment may be applied to a user to network universal interface (Uu) scene. In this embodiment, the terminal obtains a first scheduling object and a first scheduled object group that are configured or indicated by a network side device, and monitors, blindly detects, or receives joint control information from the network side device on the first scheduling object.
In another example, this embodiment may be applied to a terminal to terminal (UE to UE) scene. In this embodiment, a terminal serving as a receive end may obtain a first scheduling object and a first scheduled object group that are configured by a network side device, or obtain a first scheduling object and a first scheduled object group that are configured by a transmit end terminal, and monitor, blindly detect, or receive joint control information from the transmit end terminal on the first scheduling object.
According to the joint scheduling method provided in this embodiment of this application, the terminal determines the first scheduling object and the first scheduled object group, and monitors the joint control information on the first scheduling object, where the first scheduling object at least supports scheduling the first scheduled object group, the first scheduled object group includes at least one scheduled object, and the joint control information supports scheduling at least two scheduled objects. In this embodiment of this application, consistency between the terminal and the network side device in understanding a scheduling object and a scheduled object is maintained, thereby avoiding a transmission problem caused by inconsistent understanding, and improving communication validity.
Optionally, based on Embodiment 200, that a terminal determines a first scheduling object includes at least one of the following (1) to (5):
(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 an object corresponding to the object configuration.
In this example, the terminal may determine, based on the obtained object configuration, the first scheduling object associated with the object configuration.
The object configuration may also be referred to as a configuration of an object, and therefore the object may also be referred to as the object corresponding to the object configuration. The object may be a scheduled object in the first scheduled object group.
That the object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object includes, for example, that the object configuration includes an identifier of the first scheduling object, or that 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 this application may be understood as a generalized concept, and may be interpreted as including, indicating, corresponding to, or the like.
(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 a scheduled object corresponding to the scheduled object configuration.
In this example, the terminal may determine, based on the obtained scheduled object configuration, the first scheduling object associated with the scheduled object configuration.
The scheduled object configuration may also be referred to as a configuration of a scheduled object. Therefore, the scheduled object may also be referred to as a scheduled object corresponding to the scheduled object configuration. The scheduled object may be a scheduled object in the first scheduled object group.
That the scheduled object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object includes, for example, that the scheduled object configuration includes the identifier of the first scheduling object, or that carrier indication information of the scheduled object corresponding to the scheduled object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object.

(3) The terminal obtains a first scheduled object group configuration, where the first scheduled object group configuration is associated with the first scheduling object.
In this example, the terminal may determine, based on the obtained first scheduled object group configuration, the first scheduling object associated with the first scheduled object group configuration.

That the first scheduled object group configuration is associated with the first scheduling object includes, for example, that the first scheduled object group configuration includes an identifier of the first scheduling object.
(4) The terminal obtains a scheduling object configuration, where the scheduling object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object.
In this example, the terminal may determine, based on the obtained scheduling object configuration, the first scheduling object associated with the scheduling object configuration.
In this embodiment, when the scheduling object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object, it indicates that the first scheduling object may perform joint scheduling. For example, a configuration of a cell 1 carries an identifier of the cell 1, which indicates that the cell 1 may perform joint scheduling. The joint scheduling may mean that a plurality of scheduled objects are scheduled by using one piece of joint control information.
(5) The terminal obtains a scheduling object configuration, where the scheduling object configuration indicates that the first scheduling object supports or enables joint scheduling.
In this example, the terminal may determine the first scheduling object based on the obtained scheduling object configuration.
The foregoing (4) to (5) may be alternatively described as follows: The terminal obtains a scheduling object configuration indicating that joint scheduling is supported or enabled, where a scheduling object corresponding to the configuration is the first scheduling object.
Optionally, based on the foregoing embodiments, that a terminal determines a first scheduled object group includes at least one of the following (1) to (12):
(1) The terminal obtains configuration information, where the configuration information configures or indicates the first scheduled object group.

(2) The terminal obtains a first scheduling object configuration, where the first scheduling object configuration is associated with the first scheduled object group.
The first scheduling object configuration may be a configuration of the first scheduling object, and the configuration of the first scheduling object is associated with the first scheduled object group.
In this embodiment, for example, a scheduling cell configuration includes an identifier of a scheduled cell group. Assuming that a scheduling cell configuration includes a scheduled cell group 1, a cell group that may be jointly scheduled by the scheduling cell is the scheduled cell group 1. Further, if the scheduled cell group 1 includes a cell A and a cell B, cells that may be jointly scheduled by the scheduled cell are the cell A and the cell B.

The first scheduling object configuration may be a configuration of the first scheduling object, the configuration of the first scheduling object is associated with a scheduled object, and the scheduled object is a scheduled object in the first scheduled object group.
In this embodiment, for example, if a scheduling cell configuration includes identifiers of two scheduled cells: identifiers of a cell A and a cell B, cells that may be jointly scheduled by the scheduling cell are the cell A and the cell B, and the cell A and the cell B form the first scheduled object group.
(4) The terminal obtains an object configuration, where the object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object, and an object corresponding to the object configuration (and associated with the first scheduling object) forms the first scheduled object group.

That the object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object includes, for example, that the object configuration includes an identifier of the first scheduling object, or that carrier indication information of the object corresponding to the object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object.
In this embodiment, for example, if two cells include a same scheduling cell identifier, the two cells may be jointly scheduled by a scheduling cell corresponding to the identifier.
In this embodiment, for another example, if both carrier indication information of a cell A and carrier indication information of a cell B indicate a cell 1, the cell 1 may jointly schedule the cell A and the cell B.

That the scheduled object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object includes, for example, that the scheduled object configuration includes an identifier of the first scheduling object, or that carrier indication information of the scheduled object corresponding to the scheduled object configuration is associated with the first scheduling object.
In this embodiment, for example, if two scheduled cells include a same scheduling cell identifier, the two scheduled cells may be jointly scheduled by a scheduling cell corresponding to the identifier.
In this embodiment, for another example, if both carrier indication information of a scheduled cell A and carrier indication information of a scheduled cell B indicate a cell 1, the cell 1 may jointly schedule the scheduled cell A and the scheduled cell B.
(6) The terminal obtains a scheduled object group configuration, where the scheduled object group configuration is associated with the first scheduling object, and a scheduled object corresponding to the scheduled object group configuration (and associated with the first scheduling object) forms the first scheduled object group.
The scheduled object group configuration may be a 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. That the scheduled object group configuration is associated the first scheduling object includes, for example, that the scheduled object group configuration includes an identifier of the first scheduling object, or that carrier indication information of the scheduled object corresponding to the scheduled object group configuration is associated with the first scheduling object.
In this embodiment, for example, if a scheduled object group includes a cell A and a cell B, and the scheduled object group configuration includes an identifier of a scheduling cell 1, the cell A and the cell B may be jointly scheduled by the scheduling cell 1.
In this embodiment, for another example, if a scheduled object group includes a cell A and a cell B, and both carrier indication information of the scheduled cell A and carrier indication information of the scheduled cell B in the scheduled object group configuration indicate a cell 1, the cell 1 may jointly schedule the scheduled cell A and the scheduled cell B.

In this embodiment, for example, a CIF of a scheduled object group is determined according to a CIF of at least one scheduled object included in the scheduled object group. Assuming that the scheduled object group includes an object 1 and an object 2, and a CIF of the object 1 and a CIF of the object 2 are respectively 3 and 4, the CIF of the scheduled object group is determined according to 3 and 4.
Optionally, based on Embodiment 200, the method further includes the following step: obtaining, by the terminal, a first scheduled object group configuration (hereinafter referred to as method 1), that is, obtaining a configuration of the first scheduled object group, where the first scheduled object group configuration meets at least one of the following (1) to (5):
(1) The first scheduled object group configuration is associated with at least two objects, for example, identifiers of the at least two objects. The at least two objects herein are at least two scheduled objects.
In this embodiment, the terminal may determine a scheduled object group according to a scheduled object group configuration. For example, an RRC configuration includes a scheduled object group (scheduledcellscombination), where identifiers of cells that may be jointly scheduled are included. Assuming that identifiers of a cell 1 and a cell 2 are included, the cell 1 and the cell 2 may be jointly scheduled.
(2) The first scheduled object group configuration is associated with at least one scheduling object, for example, an identifier of the at least one scheduling object.
In this embodiment, the terminal determines a scheduling object according to a scheduled object group configuration.
(3) The first scheduled object group configuration is associated with one or more scheduled object groups, for example, identifiers of the one or more scheduled object groups, where each identifier is associated with at least two objects.
In this embodiment, the terminal determines a scheduled object group according to a scheduled object group configuration.
(4) The first scheduled object group configuration is included in a first scheduling object configuration.
In this embodiment, the terminal determines, according to an object configuration in which a scheduled object group configuration is located, that an object corresponding to the object configuration is a scheduling cell of a scheduled object group associated with the scheduled object group configuration.
In this embodiment, for example, if a configuration of a cell A includes a scheduled object group configuration, and the scheduled object group configuration includes cells B and C, the cell A may jointly schedule the cells B and C.
(5) The first scheduled object group configuration includes an identifier of the first scheduling object.
In this embodiment, the terminal determines a scheduling object of a scheduled object group according to the identifier.
The foregoing identifier may include a plurality of sub-identifiers. For example, if an object is a BWP of a cell, an identifier of the cell and an identifier of the BWP may be included in this case.
In this method, new configuration signaling is mainly introduced to provide a correspondence between a scheduled object group and a scheduling object.
Optionally, based on Embodiment 200, the method further includes the following step: obtaining, by the terminal, a first scheduling object configuration (hereinafter referred to as method 2), where the first scheduling object configuration meets at least one of the following:
(1) The first scheduling object configuration indicates that a scheduling object corresponding to the first scheduling object configuration supports or enables joint scheduling.
(2) The first scheduling object configuration includes a first scheduled object group configuration. The first scheduled object group configuration is, for example, an identifier of the first scheduled object group, and the identifier may be considered as a configuration.
(3) The first scheduling object configuration includes a configuration of at least one scheduled object in the first scheduled object group.
In this embodiment, the terminal determines that objects corresponding to an object configuration that includes a same scheduling object identifier belongs to a same scheduled object group. For example, the object configuration is a cross-carrier scheduling configuration (CrossCarrierSchedulingConfig) of a scheduled cell. Because CrossCarrierSchedulingConfig of the scheduled cell provides a scheduling cell ID (for example, schedulingCellId), if scheduling cell IDs (for example, schedulingCellId) of two cells are the same, it indicates that the two cells may be jointly scheduled by DCI of a cell corresponding to the scheduling cell ID.
The foregoing identifier may include a plurality of sub-identifiers. For example, if an object is a BWP of a cell, an identifier of the cell and an identifier of the BWP may be included in this case.
In this method, CrossCarrierSchedulingConfig is mainly used to provide a correspondence between a scheduled object group and a scheduling object.
Optionally, based on Embodiment 200, the method further includes the following step: obtaining, by the terminal, an object configuration (referred to as method 3, and method 3 is method 1+method 2), where the object configuration meets: the object configuration includes an identifier of a first scheduled object, and an object corresponding to the object configuration is associated with the first scheduled object.
In this embodiment, for example, a scheduling cell configuration includes information about a cell combination that may be jointly scheduled, and a scheduling cell configuration includes a scheduling cell ID.
Optionally, the determining, by a terminal, a first scheduled object group includes: receiving, by the terminal, a first scheduling object configuration and a first scheduled object configuration, where the first scheduling object configuration includes information about a scheduled object whose scheduling is supported by the first scheduling object, and the first scheduled object configuration includes information about a scheduling object that can schedule the first scheduled object group.
Optionally, the method provided in the foregoing embodiments further includes the following step: obtaining, by the terminal, blind detection information, where the blind detection information indicates at least one of the following:
(1) A quantity of blind detection times for the one or more first scheduled object groups. For example, a scheduling cell configuration includes a total quantity of blind detection times for parameter joint scheduling (total number of candidates for joint scheduling), used by the joint control information for one or more scheduled object groups.
(2) An aggregation level for the one or more first scheduled object groups.
(3) A quantity of blind detection times for at least one scheduled object in each of the one or more first scheduled object groups.

In the embodiments of this application, the terminal may determine the first scheduling object and the first scheduled object group, and then determine a target control resource set associated with the first scheduled object group. In other words, after S202 and before S204, the method may further include the following step: determining, by the terminal, the target control resource set associated with the first scheduled object group, where the first scheduling object sends the joint control information by using the target control resource set. For a specific determining method, refer to the following Embodiment 5 to Embodiment 8.
Alternatively, the terminal may determine a target control resource set on the first scheduling object, and then determine the one or more first scheduled object groups associated with the first scheduling object. In other words, before S202, the method may further include the following step: determining, by the terminal, the target control resource set on the first scheduling object. For a specific determining method, refer to the following Embodiment 5 to Embodiment 8.
To describe in detail the joint scheduling method provided in the embodiments of this application, several specific embodiments will be illustrated below.
In this embodiment, as shown in
In this embodiment, as shown in
In this embodiment, as shown in
If a configuration of the cell 0 includes two scheduled object groups, where a group 1 is cells A and B and a group 2 is cells B and C, the terminal determines that the joint control information of the cell 0 may be used to simultaneously schedule the cells A and B or simultaneously schedule the cells B and C.
In this embodiment, as shown in
Further, when the configuration of the scheduled objects A and B indicates that the scheduling object is the cell 2, and CIFs of the scheduled objects A and B indicate the cell 2, the terminal determines that joint control information of the cell 2 may be used to simultaneously schedule the cells A and B.
In this embodiment, the terminal may determine a target SS by using an SSID and a full+lite configuration.
In this embodiment, if a scheduling cell 0 may jointly schedule a cell 1 and a cell 2, and a configuration of the cell 0 includes a full configuration of a search space 3 (SS3), and a configuration of the scheduled cells 1 and 2 includes a lite configuration of the SS3, the cell 0 may jointly schedule the cell 1 and the cell 2 by using the SS3.
In this embodiment, the terminal may determine a target SS by using information about a scheduled object cell included in an SS configuration.
In this embodiment, if a scheduling cell 0 may jointly schedule a cell 1 and a cell 2, a configuration of the cell 0 includes a full configuration of a search space 3 (SS3), and the SS3 is associated with the cell 1 and the cell 2, the cell 0 may jointly schedule the cell 1 and the cell 2 by using the SS3. Specifically, for example, a configuration of the SS3 carries identifiers of the cell 1 and the cell 2, so that the terminal determines that the cell 0 may jointly schedule the cell 1 and the cell 2 by using the SS3.
In this embodiment, the terminal may determine a target SS by using a CIF corresponding to an SS and a CIF of a scheduled cell or a scheduled cell group.
In this embodiment, for example, a scheduling cell 4 may jointly schedule a cell 1 and a cell 2, and a configuration of the cell 4 includes a configuration of a search space 3 (SS3).
Further, a CIF corresponding to the SS3 is the same as a CIF corresponding to the cell 1/cell 2. Specifically, for example, if the CIF associated with the SS3 is 4, and the CIFs of the cell 1 and the cell 2 are 4, the cell 4 may jointly schedule the cell 1 and the cell 2 by using the SS3.
In this embodiment, for another example, a scheduling cell 4 may jointly schedule a cell 1 and a cell 2, and a configuration of the cell 4 includes a configuration of a search space 3 (SS3). A scheduling cell 7 may jointly schedule a cell 7 and a cell 8, and a configuration of the cell 7 includes the configuration of the search space 3 (SS3).
Further, a CIF corresponding to the SS3 includes CIFs corresponding to the cell 1 and the cell 2. Specifically, for example, if the CIF associated with the SS3 is 4 and 7, and the CIFs of the cell 1 and the cell 2 are 4, the cell 4 may jointly schedule the cell 1 and the cell 2 by using the SS3.
In this embodiment, an SS configuration directly or indirectly indicates that the terminal needs to monitor a cell group, or indicates that an SS is used for joint scheduling.
In this embodiment, for example, if a scheduling cell 0 may jointly schedule a cell 1 and a cell 2, a configuration of the cell 0 includes a full configuration of a search space 3 (SS3), and the configuration of the SS3 indicates that a cell group to be jointly scheduled needs to be monitored, the cell 0 may jointly schedule the cell 1 and the cell 2 by using the SS3.
In this embodiment, for example, if a scheduling cell 0 may jointly schedule a cell 1 and a cell 2, a configuration of the cell 0 includes a full configuration of a search space 3 (SS3), and the configuration of the SS3 includes a related parameter of joint control information, the cell 0 may jointly schedule the cell 1 and the cell 2 by using the SS3.
In this embodiment, for example, if a scheduling cell 0 may jointly schedule a cell 1 and a cell 2, a configuration of the cell 0 includes a full configuration of a search space 3 (SS3), and the configuration of the SS3 indicates that it may be used for joint scheduling, for example, indicates that a joint scheduling function is enabled, the cell 0 may jointly schedule the cell 1 and the cell 2 by using the SS3.
