Description

一种通信方法，装置及系统 技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域，特别涉及一种通信方法，装置及系统。
背景技术
由第三代合作伙伴项目(the 3rd Generation Partnership Project，3GPP)制定的长期演进(Long Term Evolution，LTE)系统标准被认为是第四代无线接入系统标准。现有LTE系统中，在时域上，上下行传输都被组织成10ms的系统帧(英文：system frame)或者称之为无线帧(英文：radio frame)。LTE支持2中系统帧结构：用于频分双工(英文：Frequency Division Duplex，FDD)的类型1和用于时分双工(英文：Time Division Duplex，TDD)的类型2.以FDD为例，每个系统帧由10个子帧(英文：subframe)组成。每个子帧由2个连续的时隙(英文：slot)组成。一个slot由多个符号(英文：symbol)组成。上行使用单载波频分多址(Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access，SC-FDMA)符号，下行使用正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing，OFDM)符号。以下行使用OFDM符合为例，对于一个slot，在时域上包括连续多个OFDM符号，每个时隙的数据信道所使用的子载波宽度是15kHz。
在下一代通信系统中，例如：在新无线(英文：New Radio，NR)，或者称之为第五代(5G)无线接入系统中，NR系统支持多种子载波宽度，例如15kHz，30kHz，60kHz，120kHz，且任意两个子载波宽度的比值等于2n，其中n＝－N,…－2,－1,1,2,…,N。并且，NR系统中，基于以下考虑，包括但不限于超低时延敏感业务(例如URLLC业务)对超低时延的需求，NR和LTE并存的需求，增加以小时隙为时间粒度来进行信息调度。对于一个小时隙，在时域上包括连续多个OFDM符号，一个时隙内可以包括多个小时隙，所述小时隙内的OFDM符号的数量小于所述一个时隙内的OFDM符号的数量。小时隙包括的第一控制信道所使用的子载波宽度M与时隙中包括的第二控制信道所使用的子载波宽度W可以相同或不同。
当M和W不同时，现有的LTE系统中不考虑子载波宽度的变化，因此无法为终端提供检测所有小时隙内候选的控制信道的时域位置的解决方案。终端需要接收下行数据信息时，需要同时检测第一控制信道和第二控制信道。两种控制信道在时域上叠加后，终端需要在单位时间内检测多个控制信道。当一段时间内，接入网设备未发送下行数据信息给终端时，终端消耗较多能量用于检测第二控制信道上承载的控制信息。如果这段时间内，终端没有检测到发送给自己的控制信息，导致接收数据信息的能量代价过高。
因此，终端如何确定包括第二控制信道的小时隙的时域位置成为亟待解决的问题。

基于上述描述，结合图2对本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法200作详细说明。
参见图2，该方法包括：
S201：接入网设备确定至少一个小时隙组的格式。
具体地，接入网设备根据第一控制信道使用的第一子载波宽度和第二控制信道使用的第二子载波宽度，确定所述至少一个小时隙组的格式。其中，所述第一控制信道所在的时隙中包括所述至少一个小时隙组，所述小时隙组中包括至少一个小时隙，所述小时隙中包括所述第二控制信道，所述第一子载波宽度和第二子载波宽度不同。需要说明的是，在本申请中，第一控制信道使用的第一子载波宽度为发送所述第一控制信道所用的子载波宽度，第二控制信道使用的第二子载波宽度为发送所述第二控制信道所使用的子载波宽度。
对于所述接入网设备如何确定所述第一控制信道所使用的子载波宽度和第二控制信道所使用的子载波宽度，以及如何根据所述第一子载波宽度和所述第二子载波宽度，确定所述小时隙组的格式，请参考下面的详细说明。
图3给出了时隙与小时隙采用不同子载波宽度的结构示意图，应理解，图3中所示出的时隙，小时隙组以及小时隙的结构仅作为举例说明，不构成对本申请的限定。参考图3，第一子载波宽度为15KHz，一个时隙在时域上占用7个OFDM符号。其中，第一控制信道在时域上占用所述时隙中起始的第一个OFDM符号。该时隙中包括3个小时隙组，每个小时隙组中包括2个小时隙。第二子载波宽度为30KHz，每个小时隙在时域上占用2个OFDM符号。
在本申请一个具体的实施方式中，随着第二控制信道所使用的子载波宽度增加，所述小时隙组内包括的小时隙的数量增多。例如，一个小时隙组内，当第二控制信道所使用的子载波宽度是第三子载波宽度时，第三子载波宽度对应的小时隙的个数，为第一值；当第二控制信道使用的子载波宽度是第四子载波宽度时，第四子载波宽度对应的小时隙个数，为第二值；所述第一值与所述第二值的比值等于所述第三子载波宽度与所述第四子载波宽度比值。
下面对所述接入网设备如何确定所述第一控制信道所使用的子载波宽度和第二控制信道所使用的子载波宽度，进行说明如下：
对于第一控制信道所使用的子载波宽度，可以通过标准预先定义或配置。例如，标准预先定义为15kHz，或通过同步信号，广播信息，系统信息进行配置；当载波小于6GHz时，可选的子载波宽度为15kHz,30kHz,60kHz；当载波大于6GHz时，可选的子载波宽度为120kHz，240kHz等，子载波宽度的取值不限于所述5种。
对于第二控制信道所使用的子载波宽度，在一种可选的方式中，所述接入网设备可以根据发送或接收的数据业务类型确定。例如，数据业务类型为低时延业务(例如URLLC业务)，所述第二控制信道使用的子载波宽度大于所述第一控制信道使用的子载波宽度。例如， 所述第一子载波宽度为15kHz，所述第二子载波宽度为60kHz。在一种可选的方式中，所述接入网设备根据发送或接收数据业务的频带确定该第二控制信道所使用的子载波宽度。例如，数据业务占用的频带为第一频带时，所述第一载波宽度为15kHz，所述第二子载波宽度为60kHz。数据业务占用的频带为第二频带时，所述第一子载波宽度为15kHz，所述第二子载波宽度为30kHz。所述第一频带和所述第二频带均位于所述终端的接收带宽内。在另一种可选的方式中，所述接入网设备还可以根据发送或接收数据业务的载频确定所述第二控制信道所使用的子载波宽度。例如，数据业务所在的载频为非授权频谱(Unlicensed Spectrum)时，为了能够更加灵活的接入非授权频谱，所述时隙的子载波宽度设置为15kHz，所述小时隙的子载波宽度设置为60kHz；用户设备通过检测小时隙的候选控制信道确定接入非授权频谱的起始时间，由于小时隙的时间粒度很小，有利于用户设备接入非授权频谱的起始时间足够灵活，其中，所述非授权频谱包括WiFi设备所使用频谱。
需要说明的是，上述列举的如何确定所述第一控制信道所使用的子载波宽度和第二控制信道所使用的子载波宽度的方式，只是一种举例说明，不应构成对本申请的限定。本领域技术人员在阅读本申请基础上，可以想到采用其它的方式来确定所述第一控制信道所使用的子载波宽度和第二控制信道所使用的子载波宽度，这些都属于本申请应有之意，在此不一一赘述。
下面对所述接入网设备如何根据所述第一子载波宽度和所述第二子载波宽度，确定所述至少一个小时隙组的格式进行具体说明。
具体地，小时隙组的格式包括一个小时隙组中包括的小时隙的数量，以及每个小时隙所占的OFDM符号的数量。可以通过标准预定义或者高层信令配置的方式，配置如下信息：一个时隙所占用的OFDM符号的数量；一个时隙内所包含的小时隙组的数量，每个小时隙组内包括的小时隙的数量以及每个小时隙占用的OFDM符号的数量，以此确定所述至少一个小时隙组的格式。
在第一个具体的实施方式中，一个时隙所占用的OFDM符号的数量为7。一个小时隙组在时域和频域上所对应的时频资源保持不变，即一个小时隙组在时域上的持续时长与频域上的带宽宽度的乘积保持不变。第一控制信道所使用的子载波宽度为F1。当第二控制信道所使用的子载波宽度为F1时，一个时隙中可以包括3个小时隙组，每个小时隙组中包括一个小时隙，每个小时隙占用2个OFDM符号。当第二控制信道使用的子载波宽度为F2时，一个时隙可以包括3个小时隙组，每个小时隙组中可以包括2个小时隙，每个小时隙占用2个OFDM符号。当第二控制信道使用的子载波宽度为60KHz时，每个小时隙组中包括4个小时隙，每个小时隙占用2个OFDM符号。在本申请中,F2＝2*F1。
在第二个具体的实施方式中，一个时隙所占用的OFDM符号的数量为7。一个小时隙组在时域和频域上所对应的时频资源保持不变，即一个小时隙组在时域上的持续时长与频域上的带宽宽度的乘积保持不变。例如：第一控制信道所使用的子载波宽度为F1,当第二控制信道所使用的子载波宽度为F1时，一个时隙中包括2个小时隙组，每个小时隙组中包括1个小时隙，每个小时隙占用3个OFDM符号。当第二控制信道使用的子载波宽度为F2时，一个时隙可以包括2个小时隙组，每个小时隙组中可以包括3个小时隙，每个小时隙占用2个OFDM符号；或者一个时隙可以包括2个小时隙组，每个小时隙组中可以包括2个小时隙，每个小时隙占用3个OFDM符号。
在第三个具体的实施方式中，一个时隙中包括7个OFDM符号，当第二控制信道使用的子载波宽度不同时，一个小时隙组在时域和频域上所对应的时频资源可以是变化的。可以通过标准预定义或者高层信令对应于不同的第一子载波宽度和第二子载波宽度时，与每种子载波宽度所对应的小时隙组的格式。例如：第一控制信道所使用的子载波宽度为F1,当第二控制信道所使用的子载波宽度为F1时，一个时隙中包括2个小时隙组，每个小时隙组中包括1个小时隙，每个小时隙占用3个OFDM符号。当第二控制信道使用的子载波宽度为F2时，一个时隙可以包括3个小时隙组，每个小时隙组中可以包括2个小时隙，每个小时隙占用2个OFDM符号；或者一个时隙可以包括3个小时隙组，每个小时隙组中可以包括1个小时隙，每个小时隙占用4个OFDM符号。
在第四个具体的实施方式中，一个时隙中可以包括14个OFDM符号，当第一控制信道所使用的子载波宽度为F1,第二控制信道所使用的子载波宽度为F1时，一个时隙中可以包括2个小时隙组，其中第一个小时隙组中包括2个小时隙，每个小时隙占用3个OFDM符号，第二个小时隙组中包括2个小时隙，其中一个小时隙占用3个OFDM符号，另外一个小时隙占用4个OFDM符号；或者一个时隙中可以包括4个小时隙组，其中第一个至第三个小时隙中的每个小时隙组均包括1个小时隙，每个小时隙占用3个OFDM符号，第四个小时隙组包括1个小时隙，该小时隙占用4个OFDM符号。当第一控制信道所使用的子载波宽度为F1，第二控制信道所使用的子载波宽度为F2时，一个时隙可以包括2个小时隙组，第一小时隙组中可以包括4个小时隙，第一到第三小时隙中每个小时隙占用3个OFDM符号，第4个小时隙占用4个OFDM符号；或者一个时隙可以包括4个小时隙组，第一个小时隙组和第三个小时隙组中每个小时隙组可以包括2个小时隙，每个小时隙占用3个OFDM符号，第二个和第四个小时隙组中每个小时隙可以包括2个小时隙，第一个小时隙占用3个OFDM符号，第二个小时隙占用4个OFDM符号。
需要说明的是，上述第一个至第四个具体的实施方式中所列举的具体的小时隙组的格式，仅是举例说明，不应构成对本申请的限定。本领域技术人员在阅读本申请文件的基础上，可以通过标准预定义或者通过高层信令配置任意格式的小时隙组的格式。具体小时隙的格式，在此不再一一赘述。具体地，可以在配置了相应的小时隙组的格式的基础上，建立第一子载波宽度，第二子载波宽度与小时隙组的格式的映射关系，接入网设备和终端可以分别保存该映射关系。
S202：所述接入网设备向终端发送第一信令。
具体地，所述第一信令包括第一指示信息，所述第一指示信息用于指示包括第二控制信道的每个小时隙组的时域位置。
所述接入网设备可以通过所述第一控制信道承载的控制信息向终端发送所述第一指示信息。该第一控制信道所占用的时频资源可以为包括时隙中起始OFDM符号在内，连续的多个OFDM符号的时频资源区域。每个时隙中的时频资源一般包括控制区域和数据区域，控制区域用来发送控制信息，数据区域用来发送数据。本申请实施例中，第一控制信道所在的时频资源可以是指该第一控制信道所处的时隙的控制区域所包括的时频资源。需要说明的是，本申请实施例中，该第一控制信道包括但不限于物理下行控制信道(英文：Physical Downlink Control Channel，PDCCH)，增强物理下行控制信道(英文：Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel，EPDCCH)，，新空口物理下行控制信道(应为：New radio Physical  Downlink Control Channel,NR-PDCCH)，组公共控制信道(英文：Group Common Control Channel,GCCCH),物理控制格式指示信道(Physical Control Format Indicator Channel，PCFICH),类物理控制格式指示信道(英文：PCFICH-like Channel)，物理层广播信道(英文，L1Broadcast Channel)或NR系统中用于执行相同或者相似功能的控制信道。
所述接入网设备根据第一控制信道使用的第一子载波宽度和第二控制信道使用的第二子载波宽度，确定所述第一信令的格式，根据所述第一信令的格式，获取所述第一指示信息。
所述接入网设备确定所述第一信令的格式，包括确定所述第一信令中包括的相关字段的类型，所承载的内容以及所承载的内容长度，相关的字段包括但不限于承载所述第一指示信息的字段。可选的，所述第一信令除了包括所述第一指示信息以外，还可以包括但不限于指示数据信道资源分配的指示信息和/或用于指示调制编码方式的指示信息。
所述接入网设备根据所述第一子载波宽度和所述第二子载波宽度，确定所述第一信令的格式，包括确定承载所述第一指示信息的字段的长度。接入网设备可以根据第一控制信道使用的第一子载波宽度和第二控制信道使用的第二子载波宽度，确定所述小时隙组的格式，根据所述小时隙组的格式，来配置承载所述第一指示信息的字段的长度。
在一个具体的实施方式中，用于承载所述第一指示信息的字段长度L1与f1和f2的比值有关。例如，若第一子载波宽度为f1,第二子载波宽度为f2,第一信令则L1＝A f2/f1，其中，A为自然数，A的具体取值可以根据实际需要进行设定。
例如，f1＝15kHz,f2＝30kHz，若A＝3；则此时字段的长度为6个bit。
在一个具体的实施方式中，可以用上述第一信令中的若干个比特来承载所述第一指示信息。该若干个比特中的每一位(bitmap的形式)用于指示所述每个小时隙组中是否存在所述第二控制信道。如图3所示，第一子载波宽度为15kHz，第二子载波宽度为30kHz，该时隙中包括三个小时隙组，分别表示为小时隙组0，小时隙组1以及小时隙组2。其中，小时隙组0和小时隙组2中承载有第二控制信道，小时隙组1中没有承载第二控制信道。此时，所述第一信令中包括3个比特来承载所述第一指示信息。用户设备收到的第一指示信息为{1，0，1}，表示小时隙组0和小时隙组2上配置有第二控制信道资源，其中1表示存在，0表示不存在。当然，1和0也可以表示相反的含义，即1表示不存在，0表示存在，则上述的第一指示信息可以表示为{0，1，0}，本申请对此不作具体限定。
在一个具体的实施方式中，还可以采用该若干个比特的二进制值来指示包括第二控制信道的每个小时隙组的时域位置。例如，对于设定的第一子载波宽度和第二子载波宽度的组合，根据预先设定的模式(pattern)，通过所述二进制值与所述模式的映射关系来指示包括有所述第二控制信道的每个小时隙组的时域位置。所述第一信令中例如可以包括3个比特，当三个比特为{0,0,0}，即二进制值0时，对应于图3所示的pattern，由此可以确定仅有小时隙组0和小时隙组2上配置有第二控制信道。类似的，当三个比特为{0,0，1}，即二进制的值为2时，可以对应另外一个pattern，根据该pattern，可以确定仅有小时隙组0和小时隙组1上配置有第二控制信道资源。具体是采用二进制值，还是根据比特映射的方式，可以通过标准预先定义，也可以在第一信令中携带一个比特位来进行指示，本申请对此不做具体限定。
下面对于所述二进制的取值与所述pattern的映射关系进行具体说明。所述接入网设备 中可以保存一个映射关系表，所述映射关系表用于保存所述二进制的取值与所述pattern的之间的映射关系。相应的，所述终端中也保存有所述映射关系表，用于保存所述所述二进制的取值与所述pattern的之间的映射关系。所述映射关系可以通过如下方式建立：例如，对于每种pattern可以进行编号，一个具体的二进制的取值与一个pattern的编号(ID)相对应。以图3为例，所述二进制值为0，对应于编号为1的pattern，编号为1的pattern表示仅有第一个小时隙组0和第二个小时隙组2上配置有第二控制信道资源。需要说明的是，上述映射关系的建立方式仅是例举，具体可以通过多种不同的方式实现，本领域技术人员可以想到的任何来建立这种对应关系的手段都覆盖在本申请实施例中的映射规则中。映射关系表的具体形式可以以多种不同的方式实现，可以以表格的形式，也可以是其他的方式表达该对应关系，本申请对此不做限定。
需要说明的是，在图3中一个时隙包括7个OFDM符号，包括3个小时隙组，每个小时隙组中包括2个小时隙，每个小时隙包括2个OFDM符号，仅是一种举例说明，不应构成对本申请的限定。本领域技术人员在阅读本申请本简单基础上，可以想到一个时隙可以占用其它数量的OFDM符号，比如14个；一个时隙可以包括多个小时隙组；每个小时隙组中可以包括其它数量的小时隙；每个小时隙可以包括其它数量的OFDM符号，比如3个。在NR系统或未来的通信系统中，可以根据标准预定义或者通过高层信令或者其它物理层信令配置一个小时隙组的格式，根据配置好的小时隙组的格式，确定所述第一指示信息的格式，在此不一一赘述。
S203：所述终端接收所述第一信令。
所述终端根据所述第一指示信息确定包括所述第二控制信道的每个小时隙组的时域位置。
具体地，终端确定所述第一信令的格式的具体方式与所述接入网设备确定第一信令的格式的方式类似，详细说明参见上文中关于所述接入网设备如何确定所述第一信令的格式的具体说明，此处不再赘述。
S204：所述终端确定包括所述第二控制信道的每个小时隙组的时域位置。
所述终端根据所述第一指示信息确定包括所述第二控制信道的每个小时隙组的时域位置。所述终端根据所述第一指示信息所包括的比特的二进制值或者根据比特映射的方法，确定所述包括所述第二控制信道的每个小时隙组的时域位置。具体是采用二进制值，还是根据比特映射的方式，可以通过标准预先定义，也可以在第一信令中携带一个比特位来进行指示，本申请对此不做具体限定。
S205：所述接入网设备根据所述小时隙组的格式，向所述终端发送第二信令。
所述第二信令包括第二指示信息，所述第二指示信息用于指示所述每个小时隙组中包括所述第二控制信道的小时隙的时域位置。参考上文所述，所述接入网设备根据所述第一子载波宽度和第二子载波宽度，确定小时隙组的格式，即确定了所述小时隙组中包括的小时隙的个数以及每个小时隙所占用的OFDM符号的数量。在此基础上，所述接入网设备可以确定第二指示信息的具体格式。
所述接入网设备可以通过多种方式向所述终端发送所述第二指示信息。第一种可能的实现方式中，所述接入网设备通过高层信令向终端发送所述第二指示信息。所述高层信令包括但不限于主信息块(Master Information Block,MIB)，系统信息块(System Information  Block，SIB)，或无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令，高层广播信令或其他具有类似特征的高层信令。
在第二种可能的实现方式中，所述接入网设备通过初始接入信息(Initial Access related information)向终端发送所述第二指示信息。所述初始接入信息包括前导信号(Message 1)，随机接入反馈消息(Message 2)，Message 3以及Message 4等，Message4可以是指LTE中，接入网设备发给终端的RRC建立或重建命令.
通过高层信令或初始接入信息发送所述第二指示信息，可以减小通过控制信息携带所述第二指示信息所带来的开销，提高物理层的数据传输效率。
下面结合图3和图4对第二指示信息进行具体说明。
结合图3可知，通过上述第一指示信息的指示，终端可以确定在小时隙组0和小时隙组2中承载有第二控制信道资源。在此基础上，终端根据第二指示信息，进一步确定每个包括第二控制信道的小时隙组中所包括的第二控制信道的时域位置。
结合图4，图4示意性的列出了小时隙的子载波宽度为15kHz，30kHz z和60kHz时，每个小时隙组所可能具有的pattern。随着第二控制信道所使用的子载波宽度增加，小时隙组内包括的小时隙的时域位置增多。随着一个时隙内占用的OFDM符号的不同，一个时隙内包括的小时隙组的数量，每个小时隙组中包括的小时隙的数量以及每个小时隙占用的OFDM符号的数量也有所变化。例如，若每个小时隙内包括的符号数量保持不变，当第二控制信道使用第一子载波宽度，小时隙组中包括的小时隙的个数为第一值，当第二控制信道使用第二子载波宽度，小时隙组中包括的小时隙的个数为第二值；第一值与第二值的比值等于第一子载波宽度与第二子载波宽度的比值。在本申请实施例中，每个小时隙组的pattern可以相同也可以不同。例如，第二指示信息具体可以用于指示每个时隙内所包括的每个小时隙组的格式pattern，也可以具体通过比特映射的方式指示每个小时隙组内每个第二控制信道的时域位置。
在一个具体的实施方式中，可以用所述第二信令中的若干个比特来承载所述第二指示信息。可选的，该若干个比特中的每一位(bitmap的形式)用于指示包括第二控制信道的小时隙的时域位置。结合图3以及上文中对于第二指示信息的描述，确定终端设备确定在小时隙组0和小时隙组2中存在第二控制信道，但是仅根据上述信息，终端无法确定在小时隙组中，第二控制信道所存在的具体时域位置。通过第二指示信息的指示，对于图3的场景来说，第二指示信息的一种可能的形式是{1,0,1,0,}，即按照bitmap的形式的方式，可以确定每个小时隙组中，第一个OFDM符号和第3个OFDM符号上承载有第二控制信道。由此可以确定包括第二控制信道的小时隙组中包括的第二控制信道的时域位置。
在一个具体的实施方式中，还可以采用该若干个比特的二进制值来指示包括第二控制信道的小时隙的时域位置。例如，对于设定的第一子载波宽度和第二子载波宽度的组合，根据预先设定的模式(pattern)，通过所述二进制值与所述pattern的映射关系来指示承载有第二控制信道的每个小时隙组的时域位置。所述第二指示信息例如可以包括3个比特，当三个比特为{0,0,0}，即二进制值0时，对应于图3所示的pattern，由此可以确定仅有小时隙组0和小时隙组2上配置有第二控制信道。类似的，当三个比特为{0,0，1}，即二进制的值为2时，可以对应另外一个pattern，根据该pattern，可以确定仅有小时隙组0和小时隙组1上配置有第二控制信道。具体是采用二进制值，还是根据比特映射的方式，可以通过 标准预先定义，也可以在第二信令中携带一个比特位来进行指示，本申请对此不做具体限定。
关于所述二进制的取值与所述pattern的映射关系进行具体说明，可以参考上文中第一指示信息的相关部分中对于二进制的取值与所述pattern的映射关系的表述，此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中所描述的第一子载波宽度的取值，第二子载波宽度的取值，小时隙组格式的配置，用于承载第一指示信息和第二指示信息的信令以及其中的字段或格式仅是示例性说明，不构成对本申请的限定。本领域技术人员在阅读本申请文件的基础上可以想到采用其它信令的其它字段或格式来携带上述第一指示信息和第二指示信息，也可以想到对应不同的子载波宽度的变化和/或不同的小时隙组的格式的配置，采用不同的指示信息进行指示，这些都属于本申请应有之意，在此不一一赘述。

第二种可能的实现方式中，所述接入网设备通过下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information，DCI)向终端发送所述指示信息，例如，在下行控制信道的公共搜索空间内，发送所述第三指示信息。所述下行控制信道的时频资源，包括时隙或子帧的起始OFDM符号的至少一个OFDM符号；所述搜索空间为所述下行控制信道时频资源内的部分时频资源；所述公共搜索空间内的控制信息可以被小区内一组或全部终端接收。

在一个具体的实施方式中，所述控制信令可以为通过所述第一控制信道承载的控制信息。该第一控制信道所占用的时频资源可以为包括时隙中起始OFDM符号在内，连续的多个OFDM符号的时频资源区域。需要说明的是，本申请实施例中，该第一控制信道包括但不限于物理下行控制信道(英文：Physical Downlink Control Channel，PDCCH)，增强物理下行控制信道(英文：Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel，EPDCCH)，新空口物理下行控制信道(英文：New radio Physical Downlink Control Channel,NR-PDCCH)，组公共控制信道(英文：Group Common Control Channel,GCCCH),物理控制格式指示信道(英文：Physical Control Format Indicator Channel，PCFICH),类物理控制格式指示信道(英文：PCFICH-like Channel)，物理层广播信道(英文，L1 Broadcast Channel)或NR系统中用于执行相同或者相似功能的控制信道。
对于所述接入网设备如何确定所述第一控制信道所使用的子载波宽度和第二控制信道所使用的子载波宽度，可以参见上述方法200中相关部分的说明，此处不再赘述。
在接入网设备确定了所述第一子载波宽度和所述第二子载波宽度之后，所述接入网设备向终端发送第二指示信息，用于指示所述第一控制信道使用的第一子载波宽度和所述第二控制信道使用的第二子载波宽度。终端接收所述第二指示信息后，根据所述第二指示信 息，获取所述第一子载波宽度和所述第二子载波宽度；从而根据所述第一子载波宽度和所述第二子载波宽度，获取所述控制信令的格式。
接入网设备可以通过多种方式发送所述第二指示信息，第一种可能的实现方式中，所述接入网设备通过高层信令向终端发送所述指示信息，例如，所述高层信令，包括主信息块(Master Information Block,MIB)，系统信息块(System Information Block，SIB)，或无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令，或其他具有类似特征的高层信令。
第二种可能的实现方式中，所述接入网设备通过下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information，DCI)向终端发送所述指示信息，例如，在下行控制信道的公共搜索空间内，发送所述第二指示信息。所述下行控制信道的时频资源，包括时隙或子帧的起始OFDM符号的至少一个OFDM符号；所述搜索空间为所述下行控制信道时频资源内的部分时频资源；所述公共搜索空间内的控制信息可以被小区内一组或全部终端接收。

当然，接入网设备还可以通过其他方式发送所述第二指示信息，在此不再逐一举例说明。
下面结合图3和图6来对所述接入网设备如何根据所述第一子载波宽度和所述第二子载波宽度，确定所述控制信令的格式进行具体说明。
所述控制信令的格式包括所述控制信令的相关字段的类型，相关字段所承载的内容以及所承载的内容的长度，该相关字段中包括但不限于承载所述第一指示信息的字段。可选的，所述控制信令除了包括上述的第一指示信息，还可以包括但不限于指示数据信道资源分配的指示信息和/或用于指示调制编码方式的指示信息。

例如，若第一子载波宽度为f1,第二子载波宽度为f2,控制信令中用于指示包括第二控制信道的每个小时隙的时域位置的字段长度L1与f1和f2的比值有关。例如，L1＝A f2/f1，其中，A为自然数，A的具体取值可以根据实际需要进行设定。
例如，f1＝15kHz,f2＝30kHz，若A＝3；则此时字段的长度为6个bit。
在一个具体的实施方式中，可以用所述控制信令中的若干个比特来承载所述第一指示信息。
可选的，该若干个比特中的每一位(bitmap的形式)用于指示包括所述第二控制信道的每个小时隙的时域位置。该第二控制信道用于承载所述接入网设备发送给所述终端的控制信息。如图6所示，第一子载波宽度为15KHz，第二子载波宽度为30KHz，每个小时隙占用2个OFDM符号，在图6所示的时隙中包括6个小时隙。第一指示信息包括6个比特，{1,1,0,1,0,1}，每一个比特显示对应的小时隙中是否存在第二控制信道。其中1表示存在，0表示不存在。当然，1和0也可以表示相反的含义，即1表示不存在，0表示存在，则上述 的第一指示信息可以表示为{0，1，0}，本申请对此不作具体限定。
可选的，还可以采用该若干个比特的二进制值来指示包括第二控制信道的每个小时隙的时域位置。例如，对于设定的第一子载波宽度和第二子载波宽度的组合，根据预先设定的模式(pattern)，通过所述二进制值与所述模式的映射关系来指示包括第二控制信道的每个小时隙的时域位置。所述第一信令中例如可以包括3个比特，当3个比特为{0,0,0}，即二进制值0时，对应于图6所示的pattern，由此可以确定小时隙0，小时隙1，小时隙4以及小时隙6中包括第二控制信道，而小时隙3和小时隙5不包括第二控制信道。类似的，当三个比特为{0,0，1}，即二进制的值为2时，可以对应另外一个pattern，根据该pattern，比如，可以确定仅有小时隙3和小时隙5包括第二控制信道，而小时隙0，小时隙1，小时隙4以及小时隙6中不包括第二控制信道。可选的，具体二进制值与所述模式的映射关系，可以通过标准预先定义，在接入网设备和终端分别保存上述映射关系。具体是采用二进制值，还是根据比特映射的方式，可以通过标准预先定义，也可以在第一信令中携带一个比特位来进行指示，本申请对此不做具体限定。

S303：所述终端接收所述控制信令。
S304：所述终端根据所述控制信令的格式，获取所述第一指示信息。
