Abstract:
Embodiments provide resource scheduling methods and apparatus that reduce transmission resource overhead in resource scheduling. The method can be applied to a wireless local area network, where a next generation protocol followed by the wireless local area network predefines locations of resource units potentially allocated from a to-be-assigned frequency domain resource. The method includes: generating, by a sending end, resource scheduling information, where the resource scheduling information includes a bit sequence to indicate an actual allocation of a resource unit(s) from the to-be-assigned frequency domain resource, and at least some bits in the bit sequence to indicate whether one or more of the resource unit locations potentially allocated for the to-be-assigned frequency domain resource are the actually allocated resource units.

Claim (Index 1):
A resource scheduling apparatus, comprising:\n a processor; a transmitter; and memory connected to the processor; the processor being configured, upon execution of instructions stored in memory, to generate a High Efficient Signal Field B (HE-SIGB), the generated HE-SIGB comprising a first HE-SIGB corresponding to a first 20 MHz channel in the frequency domain resource, a first resource unit (RU) allocation (RA) subfield of the first 20 MHz channel, and one or more user fields, each of the one or more user fields comprising an identifier of one station scheduled,\n the first RA subfield comprising:\n a first bit sequence indicating an allocation of one or more RUs for the first 20 MHz channel, the allocation comprising:\n size of each RU, the size indicating a quantity of subcarriers included in an allocated RU; and \n location of each RU, the location indicating where the corresponding quantity of subcarriers are located corresponding to the first 20 MHz channel; \n \n \n the first RA subfield further comprising: a second bit sequence, the first bit sequence and the second bit sequence corresponding to one of the following:\n the allocation indicated by the first bit sequence comprising a 106-RU or a 242-RU, the second bit sequence indicating the number of one or more stations scheduled in the 106-RU or the 242-RU, and the number of one or more user fields carried in the first HE-SIGB that contains the first RA subfield; or \n the allocation indicated by the first bit sequence is a RU with a size greater than 242 subcarriers, the second bit sequence indicating the number of one or more user fields carried in the first HE-SIGB, corresponding to the RU with a size greater than 242 subcarriers; \n the transmitter being configured to send the HE-SIGB, the first HE-SIGB being sent in the first 20 MHz channel
