COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS

Abstract

A communication method and apparatus. The method comprises: a terminal receiving first control information from a network device, the first control information simultaneously supporting single-carrier scheduling and multi-carrier scheduling, the first control information comprising a first field, and the first field indicating single-carrier scheduling or multi-carrier scheduling; and when the first field indicates single-carrier scheduling, the terminal communicating with the network device on a scheduled carrier; or when the first field indicates multi-carrier scheduling, the terminal communicating with the network device on a plurality of scheduled carriers. In the method and apparatus of the present application, a first field in first control information is used to explicitly or implicitly indicate single-carrier scheduling or multi-carrier scheduling, such that a network device does not need to additionally send a notification message, thereby reducing air interface overheads.
