LTE is the communication system that adopts the time slot frame structure, divides into FDD (Frequency Division Duplexing, FDD) mode and time division duplex (Time DivisionDuplexing, TDD) mode according to the difference of duplex mode.In LTE FDD mode, the different working frequency range is adopted in up-downgoing.(Transmission Time Interval, structure TTI) is as shown in Figure 1 for an one of which Transmission Time Interval.In Fig. 1, in the TTI among the LTE FDD, on time domain, comprise 14 symbols, be divided into two sub-frame, on frequency domain, comprise some groups of subcarriers.Up-downgoing TTI has identical structure.At present, preceding n (n ≦ 3) symbol is as control character in the descending TTI among the regulation LTE FDD, and these 3 control characters constitute control channels, and like this, control channel is arranged in preceding 3 symbols of descending TTI, and with subframe definite corresponding relation is arranged.And the control channel among each TTI all has such structure, that is to say that the control channel among each TTI has identical structure, and therefore, the configuration of control channel is unified among the LTE FDD, and its process that sends control signaling also is unified.
In LTE TDD mode, identical working frequency range is adopted in up-downgoing, and up-downgoing TTI is cross occurrence in a sub-frame.Fig. 2 shows a kind of situation of the structure of time slot in the frame.As shown in Figure 2; A radio frames comprises two sub-frame; Each subframe comprises time slot (Time Slot; TS) 0 to time slot 6 these 7 common time slots and descending pilot frequency time slot (Downlink Pilot Time Slot, DwPTS), protection interval (GP) and uplink pilot time slot (Uplink Pilot Time Slot, UpPTS) such special time slot.Wherein, a common time slot is a TTI.In the structure of time slot example shown in Figure 2, descending time slot is after ascending time slot inversion point (DUSP) is positioned at DwPTS, and ascending time slot is after descending time slot inversion point (DUSP) is positioned at TS3, and like this, TS0 is descending, and TS1~TS3 is up, and TS4~TS6 is descending.
Among the existing LTE TDD, control channel is disposed in the descending time slot in the subframe, this control channel control range comprise this time slot with thereafter the order 6 common time slots that comprise the next son frame slot.For example control channel is positioned at TS0 among Fig. 2, and this control channel is dispatched the time slot in the TS0 in this subframe~TS6 scope; When control channel is positioned at TS4, this control channel is dispatched the time slot in the TS4 in this subframe~TS6 scope, and the time slot in the TS0 in next subframe~TS3 scope is dispatched.
Through the control signaling in the control channel resource in 7 time slots is dispatched.Need which time slot in 7 time slots of the concrete scheduling of control channel and the control information in the control channel be sent to the terminal during each the scheduling, wherein, the time slot of control channel scheduling is through introducing the indicating mechanism realization in dispatch.A kind of indicating mechanism is the mode that adopts bitmap; This mode can be as shown in Figure 3; 7 bits in the bitmap territory are 7 interior time slots of corresponding control range respectively; Whether indicate respectively on 7 bits and pairing time slot is controlled, can adopt 1 expression to dispatch, 0 expression is not dispatched.In Fig. 3, if control channel is positioned at TS0, then this bitmap representes TS0, TS1 and TS3 are dispatched.Among the existing LTE TDD, when sending control signaling, need belong to the corresponding relation that comprises the control channel and the time slot of controlling in the subframe, i.e. bitmap figure at control channel.This bitmap sends to the terminal as the control signaling.
But; The bitmap mechanism of introducing in the existing method, base station need send to the terminal as a part of controlling signaling with bitmap when each scheduling; And bitmap takies part control signaling consumption; Therefore, can cause controlling the increase of signaling consumption, promptly Radio Resource produced too much consumption.

Fig. 4 shows the flow chart of the inventive method embodiment.
As shown in Figure 4, the inventive method embodiment may further comprise the steps:
Step 401: the corresponding relation of confirming time slot in control channel and the subframe.
According to the time slot at control channel place, the factors such as configuration of the number of descending time slot and time slot transfer point in the subframe, the corresponding relation of time slot can have multiplely in control channel and the subframe, below provides several typical embodiment.
Below at first introduce the situation that all control channels all are arranged in the same time slot of subframe.Multiplexing control channel at this time slot, control respectively this time slot with thereafter the order 6 common time slots that comprise the next son frame slot, if that is: all control channels are positioned at TS0, then these control channels are controlled the TS0~TS6 in this subframe respectively; When if all control channels are arranged in the TS4 of subframe shown in Figure 2, these control channels are controlled the TS1~TS3 in TS4~TS6 and next subframe in this subframe respectively.
Below be example to be positioned at TS0, all control channels can be multiplexing at same time slot.
All control channels can (Frequency Division Multiplex, FDM) mode be multiplexing on TS0 with frequency division multiplexing.Fig. 5 shows the structure chart of this mode.As shown in Figure 5, on TS0,7 corresponding TS0 of difference are together multiplexing with the mode of frequency division to the control channel of TS6.
All control channels can (Time Division Multiplex, TDM) mode be multiplexing on TS0 with time division multiplexing.Fig. 6 shows the structure chart of this mode.As shown in Figure 6, on TS0,7 corresponding TS0 of difference are together multiplexing with the mode of time-division to the control channel of TS6.
All control channels can also combine time-multiplexed mode multiplexing at TS0 with frequency division multiplexing.Fig. 7 has provided a kind of frequency division multiplexing and has combined time-multiplexed mode.As shown in the figure; The control channel that the control channel that TS1 is corresponding is corresponding with TS2 is together multiplexing with time division way; The control channel that the control channel that TS3 is corresponding is corresponding with TS4 is together multiplexing with time division way, and the control channel that the control channel that TS5 is corresponding is corresponding with TS6 is together multiplexing with time division way; The control channel that TS0 is corresponding, the control channel corresponding with multiplexing TS1TS2, the control channel that multiplexing TS3TS4 is corresponding, the control channel that multiplexing TS5TS6 is corresponding, together multiplexing with the frequency division mode.
Certainly, control channel also can all be positioned at other descending time slot, and its multiplex mode repeats no more at this with similar on TS0.
Also can adopt a plurality of control channels to be positioned at the mode of a plurality of time slots.Control channel only possibly be arranged in descending time slot.
Under this situation,, confirm the corresponding relation of descending time slot in control channel and the subframe according to the number and the position of time slot transfer point.Below provide two examples.
If have only a UDSP and a DUSP in the subframe, and DUSP is positioned at after the DwPTS, and UDSP is positioned at after the TS3, and then TS0 is a descending time slot, and TS1~TS3 is an ascending time slot, and TS4~TS6 is a descending time slot.
Fig. 8 shows the structure chart of this situation.Under this situation, comprise a control channel among the TS0, this control channel is used to control this time slot TS0; Comprise two control channels among the TS4, one is used to control this time slot TS4, and another is used for controlling the TS1 of next subframe; Comprise two control channels among the TS5, one is used to control this time slot TS5, and another is used for controlling the TS2 of next subframe; Comprise two control channels among the TS6, one is used to control this time slot TS6, and another is used for controlling the TS3 of next subframe.Fig. 9 shows the time slot control relation figure of this situation.Wherein, two control channels that comprise respectively among TS4, TS5 and the TS6 can be in the same place so that the mode of FDM or TDM is multiplexing.When comprising at least two control channels in the time slot, these control channels can combine the mode of TDM multiplexing with mode or the FDM of FDM or TDM.
If have only a UDSP and a DUSP in the subframe, and DUSP is positioned at after the DwPTS, and UDSP is positioned at after the TS2, and then TS0 is a descending time slot, and TS1 and TS2 are ascending time slot, and TS3~TS6 is a descending time slot.

The situation that also possibly exist is time slot corresponding of one group of control channel control.Figure 12 shows example of this situation.Shown in figure 12, TS0, TS4~TS6 are descending time slot, and the control channel corresponding with a certain time slot is one group of channel.Comprise the one group control channel corresponding among the TS0 with TS0; Comprise one group control channel and with the TS4 corresponding one group channel corresponding among the TS4 with TS1; Comprise one group control channel and with the TS5 corresponding one group channel corresponding among the TS5, comprise one group control channel and with the TS6 corresponding one group channel corresponding among the TS6 with TS3 with TS2.
When the number of time slot transfer point UDSP and DUSP and position changed, the number of corresponding uplink and downlink time slot and ratio also can change, the time slot at control channel place then, and multiplex mode also can change.The above-mentioned several kinds of situation that the embodiment of the invention provides are just enumerated this, but are not limited to above-mentioned several kinds of situation that provide.
Step 402: send control signaling according to the said definite control channel and the corresponding relation of time slot.
Further, the terminal receives the said definite control channel and the corresponding relation of time slot, and receives the control signaling according to said this corresponding relation.
The terminal can receive the said definite control channel and the corresponding relation of time slot through modes such as system broadcasts.
Usually, the position of UDSP and DUSP remained unchanged in one period considerable time among the LTE TDD, and like this, the number of uplink and downlink timeslot and position also are relatively-stationary in the subframe.Like this, the base station sends control signaling and terminal reception control signaling all is uniformly, sends and receive according to the said definite control channel and the corresponding relation of time slot regularly, does not need extra signaling consumption, with respect to prior art, saves Radio Resource; Simultaneously, the terminal can the direct decoding control channel, has reduced decoding complex degree.
Below introduce device embodiment of the present invention.Figure 13 shows the block diagram of apparatus of the present invention embodiment, and it comprises that corresponding relation confirms unit 131 and control channel transmitting element 132, wherein:

Said corresponding relation confirm unit 131 a time slot of control be under the situation of one group of control channel, confirm the corresponding relation of time slot in one group of control channel that this time slot is corresponding and the subframe.
An example of this situation can be shown in figure 12, and TS0, TS4~TS6 are descending time slot, and the control channel corresponding with a certain time slot is one group of channel.Comprise the one group control channel corresponding among the TS0 with TS0; Comprise one group control channel and with the TS4 corresponding one group channel corresponding among the TS4 with TS1; Comprise one group control channel and with the TS5 corresponding one group channel corresponding among the TS5, comprise one group control channel and with the TS6 corresponding one group channel corresponding among the TS6 with TS3 with TS2.
Said corresponding relation confirms that unit 131 is arranged at control channel under the situation of two time slots of subframe at least, according to the number and the position of time slot transfer point, confirms the corresponding relation of descending time slot in control channel and the subframe.
An example of this situation can be as shown in Figure 8, comprises a control channel among the TS0, and this control channel is used to control this time slot TS0; Comprise two control channels among the TS4, one is used to control this time slot TS4, and another is used for controlling the TS1 of next subframe; Comprise two control channels among the TS5, one is used to control this time slot TS5, and another is used for controlling the TS2 of next subframe; Comprise two control channels among the TS6, one is used to control this time slot TS6, and another is used for controlling the TS3 of next subframe.Fig. 9 shows the time slot control relation figure of this situation.Wherein, two control channels that comprise respectively among TS4, TS5 and the TS6 can be in the same place so that the mode of FDM or TDM is multiplexing.
