After the user equipment obtains the second time domain and/or frequency domain position indication information transmitted by the base station, the user equipment obtains the third frequency domain position for determining the downlink control channel resource set corresponding to the user equipment, based upon the indication information of the second frequency domain position, and/or predefined preset information of the first frequency domain position, and the user equipment obtains the third time domain position for determining the downlink control channel resource set corresponding to the user equipment, based upon the indication information of the second time domain position, and/or predefined preset information of the first time domain; and the user equipment determines the downlink control channel resource set corresponding to the user equipment as a third downlink control channel resource set based upon the third time domain position and the third frequency domain position.
The base station transmits a corresponding downlink control channel on the downlink control channel resource set corresponding to the user equipment.
