In this embodiment, the specific parameter in the uplink scheduling information of the UE 11 is carried in the system message and then sent to the UE 11. In some possible implementation manners of the present embodiments, the specific parameter may not be sent to the UE 11 by being added to the system message, but be preset in the UE 11. For example, a communications protocol specifies specific parameters in uplink scheduling information of UEs at different coverage levels. After determining the coverage level of the UE 11, the UE 11 may determine a specific parameter of the UE 11 according to the communications protocol. Alternatively, a communications protocol specifies other parameters. After determining the coverage level of the UE 11, the UE 11 may determine a specific parameter of the UE 11 according to these parameters. If the specific parameter is preset in the UE 11 in step S1 in this embodiment, when the base station determines the uplink scheduling information of the UE 11, the uplink scheduling information does not include the specific parameter.
