Patent ID: 10849144

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for determining a scheduling gap, wherein, the method comprises: demodulating the NarrowBand Physical Downlink Control Channel in order to determine the initial subframe of the scheduled NarrowBand Physical Downlink Shared Channel (NB-PDSCH) or the NarrowBand Physical Uplink Shared Channel (NB-PUSCH), wherein, the basis for determining the initial subframe comprises at least one of the following: the final subframe of the NB-PDCCH, the final subframe in the search space where the NB-PDCCH is located, the resource allocation within the scheduling window, and the scheduling gap indication. The implementation of the present technical solutions solves the problem of how to determine the scheduling within the NarrowBand system, thereby saving indication expenditure and improving resource usage efficiency.
