     Specifically, the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration.

     In another example, the UE acquires the first PUSCH configuration, and the determining the first parameter of the first DCI according to the first information includes: determining the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration in response to that the second PUSCH configuration is not acquired; and determining the first parameter according to the second PUSCH configuration in response to that the second PUSCH configuration is acquired. 
     Specifically, the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration and the second PUSCH configuration. In other words, if the UE obtains the first PUSCH configuration, when the UE does not obtain the second PUSCH configuration, the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration; and when the UE obtains the second PUSCH configuration, the UE determines the first parameter according to the second PUSCH configuration. 
     Optionally, during resetting of the second PUSCH configuration, the determining the first parameter of the first DCI according to the first information includes: determining the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration.

     Specifically, the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration and the second PUSCH configuration. In other words, if the UE obtains the first PUSCH configuration, when the UE does not obtain the second PUSCH configuration, the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration; and when the UE obtains the second PUSCH configuration, and the first configuration parameter in the first PUSCH configuration is different from that in the second PUSCH configuration, the UE determines the first parameter according to the second information.

     Optionally, the search space types include common search space (CSS) and UE-specific search space (USS). 
     Optionally, the first configuration parameter includes a parameter for configuring PUSCH with interlace or non-interlace. 
     Specifically, the cases where the first configuration parameters in the first PUSCH configuration and the second PUSCH configuration are different include: interlace is configured for PUSCH in the first PUSCH configuration, and non-interlace (or contiguous) is configured for PUSCH in the second PUSCH configuration; or, the PUSCH is configured with non-interlace (or contiguous) in the first PUSCH configuration, and the PUSCH is configured with interlace in the second PUSCH configuration.

     Specifically, the UE determines the first parameter according to the search space type. In other words, when the UE searches for DCI in the CSS, the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration; when the UE searches for the DCI in the USS, the UE determines the first parameter according to the second PUSCH configuration. In some embodiments, the UE searching for the DCI in the CSS includes: the UE detects the DCI format 0_0 and/or the DCI format 0_1 in the CSS. The UE searching for DCI in the USS includes: the UE detects the DCI format 0_0 and/or the DCI format 0_1 in the USS.

     Specifically, the UE determines the first parameter according to the search space type and the format of the first DCI. In other words, when the UE detects the DCI format 0_0 in the CSS, the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration; when the UE detects the DCI format 0_1 in the CSS, or when the UE detects the DCI format 0_0 in the USS, or when the UE detects the DCI format 0_1 in the USS, the UE determines the first parameter according to the second PUSCH configuration. 
     Optionally, the second information includes the search space type and the format of the first DCI, and the determining the first parameter according to the second information includes: determining the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration in response to the search space type being CSS and the format being DCI format 0_1; and determining the first parameter according to the second PUSCH configuration in response to the search space type being CSS and the format being DCI format 0_0, or in response to the search space type being USS and the format being DCI format 0_0 or DCI format 0_1. 
     Specifically, the UE determines the first parameter according to the search space type and the format of the first DCI. In other words, when the UE detects the DCI format 0_1 in the CSS, the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration; when the UE detects the DCI format 0_0 in the CSS, or when the UE detects the DCI format 0_0 in the USS, or when the UE detects the DCI format 0_1 in the USS, the UE determines the first parameter according to the second PUSCH configuration.

     Specifically, the UE determines the first parameter according to the search space type and the format of the first DCI. In other words, when the UE detects DCI format 0_0 in the USS, the UE determines the first parameter according to the second PUSCH configuration; when the UE detects DCI format 0_1 in the USS, or when the UE detects DCI format 0_0 in the CSS, or when the UE detects the DCI format 0_1 in the CSS, the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration. 
     Optionally, the second information includes the search space type and the format of the first DCI, and the determining the first parameter according to the second information includes: determining the first parameter according to the second PUSCH configuration in response to the search space type being USS and the format being DCI format 0_1; and determining the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration in response to the search space type being USS and the format being DCI format 0_0, or in response to the search space type being CSS and the format being DCI format 0_0 or DCI format 0_1. 
     Specifically, the UE determines the first parameter according to the search space type and the format of the first DCI.

     Optionally, parameters (for example, determined parameters) of the first DCI other than the first parameter include a second parameter of the first DCI and a third information field in the first DCI. The value of the second parameter in the first PUSCH configuration is the same as the value of the second parameter in the second PUSCH configuration, and the third information field is used for indicating whether to determine the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration or according to the second PUSCH configuration. 
     Specifically, the UE determines the first parameter according to other parameters of the first DCI. The other parameters of the first DCI include the second parameter of the first DCI and the third information field in the first DCI. The second parameter of the first DCI may be, for example, the number of bits in the first DCI, and the number of bits of the third information field may be  1 . The UE detects the first DCI according to the second parameter, and the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration or determines the first parameter according to the second PUSCH configuration according to the third information field. 
     It can be seen that in the embodiments of the application, the UE determines the first parameter of the first DCI according to the first information, and the first information includes at least one of the first PUSCH configuration that is cell-specific, the second PUSCH configuration that is UE-specific, and the parameter(s) of the first DCI other than the first parameter. The UE can determine the parameter of the first DCI, so as to interpret the first DCI. 
     Referring to  FIG. 2 ,  FIG. 2  is a schematic flowchart of a parameter determination method according to some embodiments of the application, which is applied to user equipment and includes the following steps. 
     In step  201 , the UE determines the first parameter of the first DCI according to the first PUSCH configuration. 
     In some embodiments, the format of the first DCI includes DCI format 0_0 and/or DCI format 0_1, and the first parameter includes at least one of: the number of bits of the first DCI, the type of the first DCI, the first information field in the first DCI, the number of bits of the second information field in the first DCI, or the bit position of the second information field in the first DCI. 
     Specifically, when the UE obtains the first PUSCH configuration, no matter whether the UE obtains the second PUSCH configuration or not, the UE determines the first parameter of the first DCI according to the first PUSCH configuration. 
     For example, PUSCH is configured with interlace in the first PUSCH configuration, PUSCH is configured with non-interlace (or contiguous) in the second PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_0 in the first PUSCH configuration is different from the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_0 in the second PUSCH configuration, and the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_1 in the first PUSCH configuration is different from the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_1 in the second PUSCH configuration. Then the UE determines the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_0 and the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_1 according to the first PUSCH configuration, or determines the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in the DCI format 0_0 and the DCI format 0_1, or determines the bit position and the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in the DCI format 0_0 and the DCI format 0_1. 
     In some embodiments, the one of information fields may be, for example, the frequency domain resource allocation information field. 
     In step  202 , the UE interprets the first DCI according to the first parameter. 
     For example, if the UE determines the number of bits corresponding to the frequency domain resource allocation information field in DCI format 0_0 and DCI format 0_1, the UE can interpret information in the frequency domain resource allocation information field in DCI format 0_0 and DCI format 0_1, thereby obtaining frequency domain resource allocation for data transmission. 
     For another example, if the UE determines the bit position and number of bits corresponding to the frequency domain resource allocation information field in DCI format 0_0 and DCI format 0_1, the UE can interpret information in the frequency domain resource allocation information field in DCI format 0_0 and DCI format 0_1, thereby obtaining frequency domain resource allocation for data transmission. 
     Referring to  FIG. 3 ,  FIG. 3  is a schematic flowchart of the parameter determination method according to some other embodiments of the application, which is applied to user equipment and includes the following steps. 
     In step  301 , the UE determines the first parameter of the first DCI according to the first PUSCH configuration and the second PUSCH configuration. 
     In some embodiments, the format of the first DCI includes DCI format 0_0 and DCI format 0_1, and the first parameter includes at least one of: the number of bits of the first DCI, the type of the first DCI, the first information field in the first DCI, the number of bits of the second information field in the first DCI and/or the bit position of the second information field in the DCI. 
     In some exemplary embodiments, the UE obtains the first PUSCH configuration, then if the UE does not obtain the second PUSCH configuration, the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration; and if the UE obtains the second PUSCH configuration, the UE determines the first parameter according to the second PUSCH configuration. 
     For example, PUSCH is configured with interlace in the first PUSCH configuration, PUSCH is configured with non-interlace (or contiguous) in the second PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_0 in the first PUSCH configuration is different from the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_0 in the second PUSCH configuration, and the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_1 in the first PUSCH configuration is different from the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_1 in the second PUSCH configuration. Then, when the UE does not obtain the second PUSCH configuration, the UE determines, according to the first PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_0 and DCI format 0_1, or the bit position and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_0 and DCI format 0_1. 
     In some embodiments, the one of information fields may be, for example, the frequency domain resource allocation information field. When the UE obtains the second PUSCH configuration, the UE determines, according to the second PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_0 and DCI format 0_1, or the bit position and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_0 and DCI format 0_1. 
     In some embodiments, the one of information fields may be, for example, the frequency domain resource allocation information field. 
     During the resetting of the second PUSCH configuration, the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration. In other words, during the reconfiguration period of the second PUSCH, the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration. 
     In some exemplary embodiments, the UE obtains the first PUSCH configuration, then if the UE does not obtain the second PUSCH configuration, the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration. If the UE obtains the second PUSCH configuration, and a first configuration parameter in the first PUSCH configuration is different from that in the second PUSCH configuration, the UE determines the first parameter according to the second information, and the second information includes the search space type for the UE to search for DCI and/or the format of the first DCI. 
     In some embodiments, the search space type includes CSS and USS. The first configuration parameter includes a parameter for configuring PUSCH with interlace or non-interlace. Specifically, the first configuration parameters in the first PUSCH configuration and the second PUSCH configuration are different may refer to such a case that PUSCH is configured with interlace in the first PUSCH configuration and configured with non-interlace (or contiguous) in the second PUSCH configuration, or that PUSCH is configured with non-interlace (or contiguous) in the first PUSCH configuration and configured with interlace in the second PUSCH configuration. 
     Optionally, the second information includes the search space type, and the UE determines the first parameter according to the search space type. In other words, when the search space type is CSS, the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration; when the search space type is USS, the UE determines the first parameter according to the second PUSCH configuration. 
     For example, PUSCH is configured with interlace in the first PUSCH configuration, PUSCH is configured with non-interlace (or contiguous) in the second PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_0 in the first PUSCH configuration is different from the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_0 in the second PUSCH configuration, and the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_1 in the first PUSCH configuration is different from the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_1 in the second PUSCH configuration. Then, when the UE detects DCI format 0_0 and/or DCI format 0_1 in CSS, the UE determines, according to the first PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_0 and DCI format 0_1, or the bit position and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_0 and DCI format 0_1. 
     In some embodiments, the one of information fields may be, for example, the frequency domain resource allocation information field. When the UE detects DCI format 0_0 and/or DCI format 0_1 in USS, the UE determines, according to the second PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_0 and DCI format 0_1, or the bit position and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_0 and DCI format 0_1. 
     In some embodiments, the one of information fields may be, for example, the frequency domain resource allocation information field. 
     Optionally, the second information includes the format of the first DCI, and the UE determines the first parameter according to the format of the first DCI. In other words, when the format is DCI format 0_0, the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration; when the format is DCI format 0_1, the UE determines the first parameter according to the second PUSCH configuration. 
     For example, PUSCH is configured with interlace in the first PUSCH configuration, PUSCH is configured with non-interlace (or contiguous) in the second PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_0 in the first PUSCH configuration is different from the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_0 in the second PUSCH configuration, and the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_1 in the first PUSCH configuration is different from the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_1 in the second PUSCH configuration. Then, when the UE detects DCI format 0_0, the UE determines, according to the first PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_0, or the bit position and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_0. 
     In some embodiments, the one of information fields may be, for example, the frequency domain resource allocation information field. When the UE detects DCI format 0_1, the UE determines, according to the second PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_1, or the bit position in DCI and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_1. 
     In some embodiments, the one of information fields may be, for example, the frequency domain resource allocation information field. 
     Optionally, the second information includes the search space type and the format of the first DCI, and the UE determines the first parameter according to the search space type and the format of the first DCI. In other words, when the search space type is CSS and the format is DCI format 0_0, the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration. When the search space type is CSS and the format is DCI format 0_1, or when the search space type is USS and the format is DCI format 0_0 or DCI format 0_1, the UE determines the first parameter according to the second PUSCH configuration.

Then, when the UE detects DCI format 0_0 in CSS, the UE determines, according to the first PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_0 in CSS, or the bit position in DCI and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_0 in CSS. When the UE detects DCI format 0_1 in CSS, the UE determines, according to the second PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_1 in CSS, or the bit position in DCI and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_1 in CSS. When the UE detects DCI format 0_0 in USS, the UE determines, according to the second PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_0 in USS, or the bit position in DCI and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_0 in USS.

     Optionally, the second information includes the search space type and the format of the first DCI, and the UE determines the first parameter according to the search space type and the format of the first DCI. In other words, when the search space type is CSS and the format is DCI format 0_1, the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration. When the search space type is CSS and the format is DCI format 0_0, or when the search space type is USS and the format is DCI format 0_0 or DCI format 0_1, the UE determines the first parameter according to the second PUSCH configuration.

Then, when the UE detects DCI format 0_1 in CSS, the UE determines, according to the first PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_1 in CSS, or the bit position in DCI and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_1 in CSS. When the UE detects DCI format 0_0 in CSS, the UE determines, according to the second PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_0 in CSS, or the bit position in DCI and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_0 in CSS. When the UE detects DCI format 0_0 in USS, the UE determines, according to the second PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_0 in USS, or the bit position in DCI and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_0 in USS. When the UE detects DCI format 0_1 in USS, the UE determines, according to the second PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_1 in USS, or the bit position in DCI and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_1 in USS. 
     Optionally, the second information includes the search space type and the format of the first DCI, and the UE determines the first parameter according to the search space type and the format of the first DCI. In other words, when the search space type is USS and the format is DCI format 0_0, the UE determines the first parameter according to the second PUSCH configuration. When the search space type is USS and the format is DCI format 0_1, or when the search space type is CSS and the format is DCI format 0_0 or DCI format 0_1, the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration. 
     For example, PUSCH is configured with interlace in the first PUSCH configuration, PUSCH is configured with non-interlace (or contiguous) in the second PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_0 in the first PUSCH configuration is different from the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_0 in the second PUSCH configuration, and the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_1 in the first PUSCH configuration is different from the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_1 in the second PUSCH configuration. Then, when the UE detects DCI format 0_0 in USS, the UE determines, according to the second PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_0 in USS, or the bit position in DCI and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_0 in USS. When the UE detects DCI format 0_1 in USS, the UE determines, according to the first PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_1 in USS, or the bit position in DCI and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_1 in USS. When the UE detects DCI format 0_0 in CSS, the UE determines, according to the first PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_0 in CSS, or the bit position in DCI and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_0 in CSS. When the UE detects DCI format 0_1 in CSS, the UE determines, according to the first PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_1 in CSS, or the bit position in DCI and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_1 in CSS. 
     Optionally, the second information includes the search space type and the format of the first DCI, and the UE determines the first parameter according to the search space type and the format of the first DCI. In other words, when the search space type is USS and the format is DCI format 0_1, the UE determines the first parameter according to the second PUSCH configuration. When the search space type is USS and the format is DCI format 0_0, or when the search space type is CSS and the format is DCI format 0_0 or DCI format 0_1, the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration. 
     For example, PUSCH is configured with interlace in the first PUSCH configuration, PUSCH is configured with non-interlace (or contiguous) in the second PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_0 in the first PUSCH configuration is different from the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_0 in the second PUSCH configuration, and the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_1 in the first PUSCH configuration is different from the number of bits corresponding to the DCI format 0_1 in the second PUSCH configuration. Then, when the UE detects DCI format 0_1 in USS, the UE determines, according to the second PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_1 in USS, or the bit position in DCI and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_1 in USS. When the UE detects DCI format 0_0 in USS, the UE determines, according to the first PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_0 in USS, or the bit position in DCI and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_0 in USS. When the UE detects DCI format 0_0 in CSS, the UE determines, according to the first PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_0 in CSS, or the bit position in DCI and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_0 in CSS. When the UE detects DCI format 0_1 in CSS, the UE determines, according to the first PUSCH configuration, the number of bits corresponding to DCI format 0_1 in CSS, or the bit position in DCI and/or the number of bits corresponding to one of information fields in DCI format 0_1 in CSS. 
     In step  302 , the UE interprets the first DCI according to the first parameter. 
     For example, if the UE determines the bit position in DCI and/or the number of bits corresponding to the frequency domain resource allocation information field in DCI format 0_0 and DCI format 0_1, the UE can interpret the information in the frequency domain resource allocation information field in DCI format 0_0 and DCI format 0_1, thereby obtaining frequency domain resource allocation for data transmission. 
     Referring to  FIG. 4 ,  FIG. 4  is a schematic flowchart of the parameter determination method according to some other embodiments of the application, which is applied to UE and includes the following steps. 
     In step  401 , the UE determines a first parameter according to other parameters of the first DCI. 
     The first DCI format includes DCI format 0_0 and/or DCI format 0_1, and the first parameter includes at least one of: the number of bits of the first DCI, the type of the first DCI, the first information field in the first DCI, and the number of bits of a second information field in DCI and/or the bit position of the second information field in the DCI. 
     Other parameters of the first DCI include the second parameter of the first DCI and the third information field in the first DCI, a value of the second parameter in the first PUSCH configuration is the same as a value of the second parameter in the second PUSCH configuration, and the third information field is used for indicating that the first parameter is determined according to the first PUSCH configuration or the first parameter is determined according to the second PUSCH configuration. The second parameter of the first DCI may be, for example, the number of bits of the first DCI, and the number of bits of the third information field may be, for example, 1. The UE detects the first DCI according to the second parameter, and the UE determines the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration or determines the first parameter according to the second PUSCH configuration according to the third information field. 
     For example, PUSCH is configured with interlace in the first PUSCH configuration, PUSCH is configured with non-interlace (or contiguous) in the second PUSCH configuration, and the second parameter is the number of bits of the first DCI. Then, the number of bits of DCI format 0_0 in the first PUSCH configuration is the same as the number of bits of DCI format 0_0 in the second PUSCH configuration, and the number of bits of DCI format 0_1 in the first PUSCH configuration is the same as the number of bits of DCI format 0_1 in the second PUSCH configuration. The UE determines whether to determine the first parameter according to the first PUSCH configuration or according to the second PUSCH configuration through the third information field in the DCI format 0_0 and the DCI format 0_1. The number of bits of the third information field may be, for example, 1. In other words, one bit in DCI format 0_0 and DCI format 0_1 is used for indicating that the first parameter is determined according to the first PUSCH configuration or according to the second PUSCH configuration. 
     In step  402 , the UE interprets the first DCI according to the first parameter. 
     For example, if the UE determines the bit position in DCI and/or the number of bits corresponding to the frequency domain resource allocation information field in DCI format 0_0 and DCI format 0_1, the UE can interpret the information in the frequency domain resource allocation information field in DCI format 0_0 and DCI format 0_1, thereby obtaining frequency domain resource allocation for data transmission.
