An unlicensed spectrum scheduling method, comprising: monitoring, by a scheduling device, a status of a channel, and if determining by means of monitoring that the channel is idle, sending a control frame on the channel so as to reserve the channel, wherein a frequency domain resource occupied by the channel is in an unlicensed spectrum, and the scheduling device is an evolved NodeB eNB and/or a remote radio head RRH; sending (S 102), by the scheduling device, first channel status information to user equipment UE, wherein the first channel status information indicates that the scheduling device has reserved the channel; sending, by the scheduling device, a radio resource control connection reconfiguration message to the UE, wherein the radio resource control connection reconfiguration message comprises parameter information and a feedback manner of a second channel status information, and the parameter information is information that is determined by the scheduling device and used by the UE to sense the channel; or the radio resource control connection reconfiguration message comprises the parameter information, a feedback manner of a second channel status information, first reservation information, and second reservation information, the first reservation information is information indicating that the scheduling device determines, according to the channel status obtained by means of monitoring, that the UE needs to reserve the channel, and the second reservation information is information indicating that the scheduling device determines that the UE reserves the channel by using a CTS frame or an RTS frame; and receiving, by the scheduling device, the second channel status information fed back by the UE, and determining, according to the second channel status information, whether to schedule the UE, wherein the second channel status information is generated by the UE according to a further channel status obtained by the UE by means of monitoring. monitoring, by a scheduling device, a status of a channel, and if determining by means of monitoring that the channel is idle, sending a control frame on the channel so as to reserve the channel, wherein a frequency domain resource occupied by the channel is in an unlicensed spectrum, and the scheduling device is an evolved NodeB eNB and/or a remote radio head RRH; sending (S 102), by the scheduling device, first channel status information to user equipment UE, wherein the first channel status information indicates that the scheduling device has reserved the channel; sending, by the scheduling device, a radio resource control connection reconfiguration message to the UE, wherein the radio resource control connection reconfiguration message comprises parameter information and a feedback manner of a second channel status information, and the parameter information is information that is determined by the scheduling device and used by the UE to sense the channel; or the radio resource control connection reconfiguration message comprises the parameter information, a feedback manner of a second channel status information, first reservation information, and second reservation information, the first reservation information is information indicating that the scheduling device determines, according to the channel status obtained by means of monitoring, that the UE needs to reserve the channel, and the second reservation information is information indicating that the scheduling device determines that the UE reserves the channel by using a CTS frame or an RTS frame; and receiving, by the scheduling device, the second channel status information fed back by the UE, and determining, according to the second channel status information, whether to schedule the UE, wherein the second channel status information is generated by the UE according to a further channel status obtained by the UE by means of monitoring.
