A multi-subframe scheduling method, comprising: receiving a notification message transmitted through high-layer signaling or physical layer signaling, and the notification message is used to notify a User Equipment to start a configuration procedure of multi-subframe scheduling; receiving Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH, information which is sent by a base station and comprises time domain resource indication information and transmission configuration information, wherein the time domain resource indication information is used to indicate information of multiple subframes scheduled by the PDCCH information; and transmitting and receiving, according to the PDCCH information, data on the multiple subframes scheduled by the PDCCH information, wherein before the receiving PDCCH information which is sent by a base station and comprises time domain resource indication information, the method further comprises: configuring, by the base station, the PDCCH information according to a new Downlink Control Information, DCI, format which bears a same information bit load as a standard DCI format in a Long Term Evolution system, wherein the new DCI format is a variation of the standard DCI format in the LTE system, where the standard DCI format is any one of the ten DCI formats in an LTE R8 system, wherein a frequency domain resource indication field in the standard DCI format is reused in the new DCI format to carry the time domain resource indication information; and on the multiple subframes scheduled by the PDCCH information, transmitting and receiving data by using different transmission configuration information. receiving a notification message transmitted through high-layer signaling or physical layer signaling, and the notification message is used to notify a User Equipment to start a configuration procedure of multi-subframe scheduling; receiving Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH, information which is sent by a base station and comprises time domain resource indication information and transmission configuration information, wherein the time domain resource indication information is used to indicate information of multiple subframes scheduled by the PDCCH information; and transmitting and receiving, according to the PDCCH information, data on the multiple subframes scheduled by the PDCCH information, wherein before the receiving PDCCH information which is sent by a base station and comprises time domain resource indication information, the method further comprises: configuring, by the base station, the PDCCH information according to a new Downlink Control Information, DCI, format which bears a same information bit load as a standard DCI format in a Long Term Evolution system, wherein the new DCI format is a variation of the standard DCI format in the LTE system, where the standard DCI format is any one of the ten DCI formats in an LTE R8 system, wherein a frequency domain resource indication field in the standard DCI format is reused in the new DCI format to carry the time domain resource indication information; and on the multiple subframes scheduled by the PDCCH information, transmitting and receiving data by using different transmission configuration information.
