The UE receives DCI: DL&UL Alloc, and receives DLPN 0 by using the time-frequency resource indicated in the downlink scheduling information in DCI: DL&UL Alloc, and sends ULPN 0 by using the time-frequency resource indicated in the uplink scheduling information in DCI: DL&UL Alloc.
In this way, in the scheduling process shown in FIG. 7, each time the UE is scheduled, the base station 10 needs to deliver DCI only once, and the UE needs to receive the DCI only once. However, actually, when sending the uplink information, the UE 11 needs to send only one bit of NEPN (Next PUD number). To schedule the one bit of NEPN, the base station 10 needs to send, for each UE, a total of 21 bits of downlink scheduling information including a channel frequency (6 bits), a transmission start time (4 bits), duration (6 bits), an MCS (4 bits), and an ULPN (1 bit), and signaling overheads are still relatively large.
