本申请实施例中的网络设备可以是用于与终端设备通信的设备，该网络设备可以是全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile communication，GSM)系统或码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access，CDMA)中的基站(Base Transceiver Station，BTS)，也可以是宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access，WCDMA)系统中的基站(NodeB，NB)，还可以是LTE系统中的演进型基站(Evolutional NodeB，eNB或eNodeB)，还可以是云无线接入网络(Cloud Radio Access Network，CRAN)场景下的无线控制器，或者该网络设备可以为中继站、接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及未来5G网络中的网络设备或者未来演进的PLMN网络中的网络设备等，本申请实施例并不限定。
图1是适用本申请的传输上行控制信号的方法和装置的通信系统的示意图。如图1所示，该通信系统100包括网络设备102，网络设备102可包括多个天线例如，天线104、106、108、110、112和114。另外，网络设备102可附加地包括发射机链和接收机链，本领域普通技术人员可以理解，它们均可包括与信号发送和接收相关的多个部件(例如处理器、调制器、复用器、编码器、解复用器或天线等)。
网络设备102可以与多个终端设备(例如终端设备116和终端设备122)通信。然而，可以理解，网络设备102可以与类似于终端设备116或122的任意数目的终端设备通信。终端设备116和122可以是，例如蜂窝电话、智能电话、便携式电脑、手持通信设备、手持计算设备、卫星无线电装置、全球定位系统、PDA和/或用于在无线通信系统100上通信的任意其它适合设备。
如图1所示，终端设备116与天线112和114通信，其中天线112和114通过前向链路118向终端设备116发送信息，并通过反向链路120从终端设备116接收信息。此外，终端设备122与天线104和106通信，其中天线104和106通过前向链路124向终端设备122发送信息，并通过反向链路126从终端设备122接收信息。
例如，在频分双工(Frequency Division Duplex，FDD)系统中，例如，前向链路118可利用与反向链路120所使用的不同频带，前向链路124可利用与反向链路126所使用的不同频带。
再例如，在时分双工(Time Division Duplex，TDD)系统和全双工(Full Duplex)系统中，前向链路118和反向链路120可使用共同频带，前向链路124和反向链路126可使用共同频带。
被设计用于通信的每个天线(或者由多个天线组成的天线组)和/或区域称为网络设备102的扇区。例如，可将天线组设计为与网络设备102覆盖区域的扇区中的终端设备通信。在网络设备102通过前向链路118和124分别与终端设备116和122进行通信的过程中，网络设备102的发射天线可利用波束成形来改善前向链路118和124的信噪比。此外，与网络设备通过单个天线向它所有的终端设备发送信号的方式相比，在网络设备102利用波束成形向相关覆盖区域中随机分散的终端设备116和122发送信号时，相邻小区中的移动设备会受到较少的干扰。
在给定时间，网络设备102、终端设备116或终端设备122可以是无线通信发送装置和/或无线通信接收装置。当发送数据时，无线通信发送装置可对数据进行编码以用于传输。具体地，无线通信发送装置可获取(例如生成、从其它通信装置接收、或在存储器中保存等)要通过信道发送至无线通信接收装置的一定数目的数据比特。这种数据比特可 包含在数据的传输块(或多个传输块)中，传输块可被分段以产生多个码块。
此外，该通信系统100可以是PLMN网络或者D2D网络或者M2M网络或者其他网络，图1只是举例的简化示意图，网络中还可以包括其他网络设备，图1中未予以画出。
需要说明的是，在本申请中，发送设备可以使上述网络设备102也可以是终端设备(例如，终端设备116或终端设备122)，相对应的，接收端设备可以使上述终端设备(例如，终端设备116或终端设备122)，也可以是网络设备102，本申请并未特别限定。
图2示出了根据本申请的传输下行控制信息的方法的示意性流程图。图2中的终端设备可以为图1中的终端设备116、122中的终端设备；网络设备可以为图1中的网络设备102。当然，实际系统中，网络设备和终端设备的数量可以不局限于本实施例或其他实施例的举例，以下不再赘述。如图2所示，该方法可以包括：
S210，将目标资源划分为M个资源子集，该M个资源子集中至少两个资源子集在频域上至少部分不重叠，且每个资源子集包括至少一个控制信道承载资源单位，M为整数，且M≥2；
S220，根据该M个资源子集，确定第一资源集合，该第一资源集合包括N个控制信道承载资源单位，该N个控制信道承载资源单位中的至少两个控制信道承载资源单位所属于的资源子集不同，该N个控制信道承载资源单位中的至少两个控制信道承载资源单位在频域上不连续，N≥2。
可选地，该目标资源在频域上被划分为多个频域单元，一个控制信道承载资源单位包括连续的至少两个频域单元。
具体而言，网络设备将一段目标资源划分为M个资源子集，该目标资源可以是一段在频域上连续的资源，该M个资源子集中的每个资源子集包括至少一个控制信道承载资源单位。每个控制信道承载资源单位包括n个频域单元，每个频域单元可以为频域上的一个资源单元(Resource Element，RE)；也可以是频域上的一个资源单元组(Resource Element Group，REG)，一个资源单元组包含多个资源单元RE；还可以是频域上连续的若干个控制信道单元(Control Channel Element，CCE)，一个控制信道单元包含多个资源单元组REG。本申请对此不作任何限定。
图3示出了一个控制信道承载资源单位包含频域上5个连续的资源单元组，每个资源单元组包含4个或者6个资源单元。其中，由图3可以看出，在包含6个资源单元的资源组中，有两个资源单元用于承载参考信号。
网络设备在向终端设备发送下行控制信息时，从该M个资源子集中确定一个控制信道承载资源单位，最终构成资源集合，其中，承载第一下行控制信息的资源集合为第一资源集合，该第一资源集合包括N个控制信道承载资源单位，N≥2，即该第一资源集合至少包括两个控制信道承载资源单位。该N个控制信道承载资源单位中的至少两个资源单元所属于的资源子集不同，即该M个资源子集中的一个资源子集包括该N个控制信道承载资源单位中的一个控制信道承载资源单位，最终网络设备通过该N个控制信道承载资源单位向终端设备发送第一下行控制信息。
例如，网络设备将目标资源划分为8个资源子集，当向终端设备发送下行控制信息时，网络设备可以从该8个资源子集的每个资源子集中确定一个控制信道承载资源单位，即网络设备最终通过8个控制信道承载资源单位承载发送至终端设备的下行控制信息。
还例如，网络设备可以从该8个资源子集的6个资源子集中确定一个控制信道承载资源单位，即网络设备最终通过6个控制信道承载资源单位承载发送至终端设备的下行控制信息。
再例如，网络设备将目标资源划分为2个资源子集，当向终端设备发送下行控制信息时，网络设备可以从该2个资源子集的每个资源子集中确定4个控制信道承载资源单位，即网络设备最终通过8个控制信道承载资源单位承载发送至终端设备的下行控制信息。
综合看来，网络设备可以从该M个资源子集的每个资源子集中确定一个控制信道承载资源单位，也可以从该M个资源子集的部分资源子集中确定数量小于M的控制信道承载资源单位，也可以从该M个资源子集的部分资源子集中确定数量大于M的控制信道承载资源单位，本申请对此不作任何限定。
该M个资源子集中至少两个资源子集在频域上至少部分不重叠。例如，如图4所示，以包括两个资源子集为例对该M个资源子集在频域上的分布情况进行说明。可以看出，资源子集1和资源子集2之间存在一定的间隔，即资源子集1和资源子集2在频域上不连续。
还例如，如图5所示，资源子集1和资源子集2可以连续，但之间并不存在重叠区域；再例如，如图6所示，资源子集1和资源子集2之间可以存在部分重叠区域，但资源子集1和资源子集2之间不能完全重叠。
应理解，本申请仅以上述几种资源子集之间的分布方式为例进行说明，但本申请并不限于此。资源子集之间的分布方式还可以包括其他方式。
用于承载下行控制信息的该N个控制信道承载资源单位中的至少两个资源在频域上不连续，即当在M个资源子集中确定承载下行控制信息的N个控制信道承载资源单位时，要保证该N个控制信道承载资源单位中的至少两个资源在频域上不连续。
例如，如图7所示，可以看出，资源子集1和资源子集2在频域上不连续，即资源子集1和资源子集2中的至少一个控制信道承载资源单位在频域上均不连续，则可以在资源子集1和资源子集2中，分别将资源子集1中的至少一个控制信道承载资源单位和资源子集2中的至少一个控制信道承载资源单位确定为承载下行控制信息的资源，从而保证承载下行控制信息的控制信道承载资源单位在频域上不连续。
该目标资源在频域上被划分为至少一个频域单元，每个控制信道承载资源单位包括连续的至少两个频域单元，能够使得接收该下行控制信息的终端设备采用自身的参考信号解调该下行控制信息，而不需要与同一小区内的其他终端设备共享一个参考信号，从而提高系统的频谱效率。每个频域单元可以为频域上的一个资源单元(Resource Element，RE)；也可以是频域上的一个资源单元组(Resource Element Group，REG)；还可以是频域上连续的若干个控制信道单元(Control Channel Element，CCE)，本申请对此不作任何限定。
还例如，如图8所示，可以看出，资源子集1和资源子集2在频域上连续，但并不存在重叠区域，即资源子集1和资源子集2在连接部分存在频域上连续的控制信道承载资源单位。此时网络设备可以在资源子集1中选择任意一个控制信道承载资源单位，再在资源子集2中选择一个控制信道承载资源单位，其中，在资源子集2中选择的控制信道承载资源单位与在资源子集1中选择的的控制信道承载资源单位在频域上不连续。在资源子集2中选择的控制信道承载资源单位和在资源子集1中的控制信道承载资源单位一起被确定 为承载下行控制信息的资源，从而保证承载下行控制信息的控制信道承载资源单位在频域上不连续。
再例如，如图9所示，可以看出资源子集1和资源子集2在频域上存在重叠区域，但并没有完全重叠，即资源子集1和资源子集2在重叠区域部分存在频域上连续的控制信道承载资源单位。此时网络设备可以在资源子集1和资源子集2中的非重叠区域中，将资源子集1中的非重叠区域的至少一个控制信道承载资源单位和资源子集2中的非重叠区域的至少一个控制信道承载资源单位确定为承载下行控制信息的资源，从而保证承载下行控制信息的控制信道承载资源单位在频域上不连续。
应理解，本申请仅以一个频域单元为上述几种资源为例对频域单元的类型进行说明，但本申请并不限于此，频域单元还可以为其他类型的资源。

S230，在该第一资源集合上向终端设备发送第一下行控制信息。
具体而言，网络设备在确定了承载第一下行控制信息的N个控制信道承载资源单位之后，便通过该N个控制信道承载资源单位向终端设备发送下行控制信息，即通过该第一资源集合向终端设备发送下行控制信息。具体地，该N个控制信道承载资源单位中的每一个控制信道承载资源单位仅仅承载待发送的下行控制信息的部分信息，网络设备最终通过该N个控制信道承载资源单位将下行控制信息发送至终端设备。
可选地，该目标资源在时域上被划分为至少一个时域单元，一个控制信道承载资源单位包括该至少一个时域单元中的部分或全部时域单元。
具体而言，网络设备将目标资源划分为至少一个时域单元，一个控制信道承载资源单位可以包括目标资源的全部时域单元，也可以仅包括目标资源的部分时域单元。例如，如图10所示，资源子集1和资源子集2仅包括该目标资源的部分时域单元，从图10中可以看出，资源子集1仅包括该目标资源的第一个时域单元，资源子集2仅包括该目标资源的第二个时域单元。
应理解，本申请仅以上述控制信道承载资源单位在目标资源的时域单元中的分布情况为例进行说明，但本申请并不限于此。
可选地，该M个资源子集占用的频域带宽小于或等于该目标资源的带宽。

具体而言，终端设备首先确定承载第一下行控制信息的第一资源集合。其中，终端设备可以通过确定映射关系，该映射关系可以基于协议规定进行确定；也可以通过系统预先配置给终端设备；还可以由网络设备发送至终端设备，本申请对此不作任何限定。
该映射关系用于指示包括第一下行控制信息在内的至少一个下行控制信息与包括第一资源集合在内的至少一个资源集合之间的对应关系。当终端设备接收网络设备发送的第一下行控制信息时，终端设备可以根据该映射关系，将该映射关系中与该第一下行控制信息对应的资源集合确定为承载该第一下行控制信息的第一资源集合，并通过该第一资源集合接收网络设备发送的第一下行控制信息。
