Optionally, each piece of DCI includes a CRC field scrambled by using a preset identifier (for example, a user equipment ID) corresponding to user equipment of the DCI. When performing sequential polar code decoding on the to-be-decoded information, the user equipment descrambles a CRC of each segment of decoded DCI by using the preset identifier corresponding to the user equipment, checks an information part of the DCI by using a descrambled CRC, and if the check passes, the user equipment stops decoding, and performs a next operation based on DCI content.
As shown in
When the user equipment checks the information part of the DCI by using the CRC descrambled by using the preset identifier corresponding to the user equipment, if the check fails, the user equipment continues to decode a following piece of DCI, descrambles a CRC of the DCI by using the preset identifier corresponding to the user equipment again, and checks an information part of the DCI by using a descrambled CRC until decoding succeeds and the DCI of the user equipment is obtained, or until the entire codeword is decoded.
