下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图，对本公开实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例仅仅是本公开一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本公开保护的范围。
在本公开实施例使用的术语是仅仅出于描述特定实施例的目的，而非旨在限制本公开实施例。在本公开实施例和所附权利要求书中所使用的单数形式的“一种”和“该”也旨在包括多数形式，除非上下文清楚地表示其他含义。还应当理解，本文中使用的术语“和/或”是指并包含一个或多个相关联的列出项目的任何或所有可能组合。
应当理解，尽管在本公开实施例可能采用术语第一、第二、第三等来描述各种信息，但这些信息不应限于这些术语。这些术语仅用来将同一类型的信息彼此区分开。 例如，在不脱离本公开实施例范围的情况下，第一小区也可以被称为第二小区，类似地，第二小区也可以被称为第一小区。取决于语境，如在此所使用的词语“如果”可以被解释成为“在……时”或“当……时”或“响应于确定”。

图1是根据本公开的实施例示出的一种调度确定方法的示意流程图。本实施例所示的调度确定方法可以由终端执行，所述终端包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、可穿戴设备、传感器、物联网设备等通信装置。所述终端可以与网络设备通信，所述网络设备包括但不限于4G、5G、6G等通信系统中的网络设备，例如基站、核心网等。
如图1所示，所述调度确定方法可以包括以下步骤：
在步骤S101中，确定第一小区(Cell)对应的关联关系，其中，所述关联关系包括载波指示域的值与调度小区标识之间的关联关系，用于判断第一小区是否为第二小区所调度的小区；
在步骤S102中，在第二小区接收用于调度多小区的下行控制信息DCI，确定所述DCI中载波指示域(Carrier Indicator Field，CIF)的第一值；
在步骤S103中，根据所述关联关系确定所述第一值对应的调度小区标识；
在步骤S104中，根据所述第一值对应的调度小区标识与所述第二小区的标识(例如终端可以根据系统信息确定第二小区的标识)之间的关系确定所述第一小区是否为所述DCI调度的小区。
在一个实施例中，在第二小区中接收到用于调度多个小区(具体是指调度多个小区的数据)的DCI后，需要确定DCI具体是针对哪些小区进行调度。为了方便描述，后续将用于调度多个小区的DCI简称为MC-DCI，MC表示多小区(Multi-cell)。
终端在判断第一小区是否为所述MC-DCI所调度的小区时，可以根据在第一小区中接收到的无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control，RRC)消息进行判断。
例如确定RRC消息中信息元素(Information Element，IE)服务小区配置(ServingCellConfig)，然后确定服务小区配置中的跨载波调度配置 (CrossCarrierSchedulingConfig)，再在跨载波调度配置中确定调度小区信息(schedulingCellInfo)，进而在schedulingCellInfo指示值为其他(other)时，进一步确定schedulingCellInfo中调度小区标识(schedulingCellId)和调度小区内使用的载波指示域(cif-InScheduingCell)。对于不同的服务小区，在多载波调度场景下，配置的调度小区内使用的载波指示域的值可以相同。
在RRC消息内配置的调度小区标识与第二小区的标识相同，且RRC消息内配置的调度小区内使用的载波指示域的值与在第二小区接收到的MC-DCI中CIF的值相同时，可以确定在第二小区接收到的MC-DCI用于调度第一小区。
在使用MC-DCI调度多个小区的情况下，若不支持被调度小区的动态切换，上述方式可以针对不同被调度小区配置相同的关联关系，也即每个被调度小区的关联关系中载波指示域的值相同，且每个被调度小区的关联关系中调度小区标识相同，实现MC-DCI调度的多个小区(小区组合)的指示。
但在使用MC-DCI调度多个小区的情况下，若支持被调度小区动态切换，上述方式的调度灵活度较差，因为基于这种方式，RRC消息中只携带一个调度小区标识和一个调度小区内使用的载波指示域的值的组合，终端根据这个RRC消息只能确定第一小区是否被这个RRC消息中调度小区标识对应的小区发送的MC-DCI所调度，当MC-DCI中的CIF的值与RRC消息调度小区内使用的载波指示域的值不同时，或者调度小区(例如接收MC-DCI时所在的第二小区)的标识与RRC消息中调度小区标识不同时，就不能对第一小区进行调度了。并且，若通过调整MC-DCI中CIF值来实现调度小区切换，当前被调度的多个小区(小区组合)将不再被调度。
在本公开的实施例中，网络设备可以针对服务小区(例如MC-DCI当前调度的小区或MC-DCI所能调度的小区)配置对应的关联关系，终端在服务小区中的第一小区接收到的RRC消息后，确定RRC消息中包含所述关联关系，那么可以确定RRC消息中的所述关联关系为第一小区对应的关联关系。
需要说明的是，终端可以在多个第一小区接收RRC消息，每个第一小区可以具有各自对应的关联关系。不同的第一小区对应的关联关系可以是不同的，也可以是相同的，具体可以根据需要进行配置。
关联关系可以包括多个载波指示域的值与调度小区标识之间的关联关系，在RRC消息中，对应载波指示域的值可以由cif-InScheduingCell域指示。上述关联关系 可以携带在RRC消息中，在RRC消息中的类型包括但不限于序列(sequence)，选择(choice)等，例如可以为schedulingCellInfo中一个指示值“other”下的序列，也可以为schedulingCellInfo中多个指示值“other”下的序列。
上述载波指示域与调度小区标识之间的关联关系可以包括一个载波指示域的值与一个调度小区标识之间的关联关系，例如载波指示域的值为1，对应的调度小区标识为0；
上述载波指示域与调度小区标识之间的关联关系可以包括多个载波指示域的值与一个调度小区标识之间的关联关系，例如载波指示域的值为1，对应的调度小区标识为0，载波指示域的值为2，对应的调度小区标识为0；
上述载波指示域与调度小区标识之间的关联关系可以包括多个载波指示域的值与多个调度小区标识之间的关联关系，例如载波指示域的值为1，对应的调度小区标识为0，载波指示域的值为3，对应的调度小区标识为2。
根据本公开的实施例，可以确定每个第一小区对应的载波指示域的值与调度小区标识之间的关联关系，由于所述关联关系可以定义多个载波指示域的值与多个调度小区标识之间的对应关系，并不限于一个载波指示域的值关联一个调度小区标识，因此网络设备根据所述关联关系向终端发送MC-DCI时，有利于提高MC-DCI对第一小区的调度灵活度。例如，网络设备可以根据需要调度的第一小区对应的关联关系，在发送的MC-DCI中设置CIF值，从而动态调整被调度的多个小区(小区组合)。
例如在所述关联关系中，载波指示域的值为1，对应的调度小区标识为0，载波指示域的值为2，对应的调度小区标识为0。那么网络设备在小区标识为0的第二小区中向终端发送的MC-DCI中CIF的值为1时，可以实现对第一小区进行调度，在小区标识为0的第二小区中向终端发送的MC-DCI中CIF的值为2时，也可以实现对第一小区进行调度。其中，CIF的值的范围可以是0至7，当然，也可以根据需要调整。
例如在所述关联关系中，载波指示域的值为1，对应的调度小区标识为0，载波指示域的值为3，对应的调度小区标识为2。那么网络设备在小区标识为0的第二小区中向终端发送的MC-DCI中CIF的值为1时，可以实现对第一小区进行调度，在小区标识为2的第二小区中向终端发送的MC-DCI中CIF的值为3时，也可以实现对第一小区进行调度。
图2是根据本公开的实施例示出的另一种调度确定方法的示意流程图。如图2 所示，所述根据所述第一值对应的调度小区标识与所述第二小区的标识之间的关系确定所述第一小区是否为所述DCI调度的小区包括：
在步骤S201中，在所述第一值对应的调度小区标识与所述第二小区的标识相同的情况下，确定所述第一小区为所述DCI调度的小区；和/或在所述第一值对应的调度小区标识与所述第二小区的标识不同的情况下，确定所述第一小区不是所述DCI调度的小区。
在一个实施例中，终端在第二小区中接收到MC-DCI后，可以确定MC-DCI中CIF的值，例如称作第一值，进而可以根据所述关联关系确定是否存在第一值。
若所述关联关系中不存在第一值，则确定第一小区不是所述MC-DCI调度的小区(可以不必考虑关联关系中的调度小区标识)；若所述关联关系中存在第一值，但是第一值对应的调度小区标识与第二小区的标识不同，则确定第一小区不是所述MC-DCI调度的小区；若所述关联关系中存在第一值，且第一值对应的调度小区标识与第二小区的标识相同，才确定第一小区是所述MC-DCI调度的小区。
在一个实施例中，所述确定第一小区对应的关联关系包括：
在所述第一小区接收无线资源控制RRC消息；
在所述RRC消息中确定所述关联关系。
网络设备可以在第一小区向终端发送RRC消息，并在RRC消息中携带第一小区对应的所述关联关系。终端在第一小区接收到RRC消息后，当确定RRC消息中携带有所述关联关系(例如RRC消息中包含载波指示域的值与调度小区标识之间关联关系)，可以将RRC消息中的所述关联关系，确定为第一小区对应的关联关系。
在一个实施例中，所述方法还包括：确定所述RRC消息中调度小区信息的指示值；其中，在所述调度小区信息的指示值为其他的情况下，在所述RRC消息中确定所述关联关系。
终端在第一小区接收到的RRC消息的跨载波调度配置中可以包含调度小区信息schedulingCellInfo，调度小区信息中可以包含多个类型的数据，例如选择(choice)、序列(sequence)、布尔(boolean)、整数、浮点等，其中，“选择”类型数据的指示值可以为自己(own)，或者为其他(other)。在本公开所有实施例中，调度小区信息的指示值，可以是指调度小区信息中“选择”类型数据的指示值。
在调度小区信息的指示值为自己(own)的情况下，表示第一小区可以受到终端在第一小区接收到的DCI所调度，而不受到终端在其他小区(例如第二小区)接收到的DCI所调度。可见，在这种情况下，终端已经确定了第一小区仅被终端在第一小区接收到的DCI所调度，所以网络设备在RRC消息中也就无需携带所述关联关系。那么在所述调度小区信息的指示值为自己的情况下，终端没有必要在所述RRC消息中确定多小区调度的所述关联关系。
在调度小区信息的指示值为其他(other)的情况下，表示第一小区可以受到终端在其他小区(第一小区以外的小区)接收到的DCI所调度(跨载波调度)，可见，在这种情况下，终端仍然需要确定第一小区被终端在哪个小区接收到的DCI所调度，所以网络设备在RRC消息中可以携带所述关联关系，以供终端确定第一小区是否被终端在第二小区接收到的MC-DCI所调度。也在所述调度小区信息的指示值为其他的情况下，终端才有必要在所述RRC消息中确定所述关联关系。所述关联关系中载波指示域的值，可以是RRC消息中调度小区信息中调度小区内使用的载波指示域(可以称作cif-InScheduingCell-r18)的值。
图3是根据本公开的实施例示出的一种应用场景示意图。
如图3所示，以第一小区包括Cell#1(小区标识为1)和Cell#2(小区标识为2)，第二小区包括Cell#0(小区标识为0)为例。
网络设备在Cell#1向终端发送的RRC消息中携带的关联关系为table1-1，在Cell#2向终端发送的RRC消息中携带的关联关系为table1-2。
table1-1包含多个载波指示域的值与多个调度小区标识之间的关联关系，其中，载波指示域的值为1，对应的调度小区标识为0，载波指示域的值为2，对应的调度小区标识为0；载波指示域的值为3，对应的调度小区标识为2。需要说明的是，在同一个表格中，载波指示域的值均不相同。
table1-2包含多个载波指示域的值与一个调度小区标识之间的关联关系，载波指示域的值为1，对应的调度小区标识为0，载波指示域的值为3，对应的调度小区标识为0。
需要说明的是，图3所示的表格(table)中空白的部分，也可以设置载波指示域的值和调度小区标识，只不过本实施例在示例过程中并未用到，因此没有示出。另外，表格中的行数并不限于图中所示4行，可以根据需要减少或增加行数。
当终端在Cell#0中接收到的MC-DCI，若终端确定MC-DCI中CIF的值为01(也即1)，进一步地，终端确定table1-1中存在值为1的载波指示域，进而可以确定值为1的载波指示域在table1-1中对应的调度小区标识为0，与Cell#0的标识相同。从而可以确定Cell#1为终端在Cell#0中接收到的MC-DCI所调度的小区。终端确定table1-2中存在值为1的载波指示域，进而可以确定值为1的载波指示域在table1-2中对应的调度小区标识为0，与Cell#0的标识相同。从而可以确定Cell#2为终端在Cell#0中接收到的MC-DCI所调度的小区。
网络设备可以根据需要调整MC-DCI中CIF的值，从而调整MC-DCI所调度的小区，例如终端确定MC-DCI中CIF的值变更为10(也即2)，进一步地，终端确定table1-1中存在值为2的载波指示域，进而可以确定值为2的载波指示域在table1-1中对应的调度小区标识为0，与Cell#0的标识相同。从而可以确定Cell#1为终端在Cell#0中接收到的MC-DCI所调度的小区。终端确定table1-2中不存在值为1的载波指示域，那么可以确定Cell#2不是终端在Cell#0中接收到的MC-DCI所调度的小区。
终端在Cell#0接收到的MC-DCI除了可以调度Cell#0以外的小区，也可以调度Cell#0，终端可以根据在Cell#0接收到的RRC消息中跨载波调度配置的调度小区信息中选择(choice)为自己(own)还是其他(other)确定。若选择为自己，那么可以确定MC-DCI可以用于调度Cell#0或未被任何小区调度；若调度小区信息的指示值为其他，则可以确定Cell#0为被调度小区，Cell#0受到终端在Cell#0以外的小区中接收到的DCI所调度。
在一个实施例中，当终端在第一小区接收到的RRC消息中并没有确定到所述关联关系，那么可以根据传统(legacy)方式确定第一小区是否被第二小区所调度，例如确定调度小区信息中调度小区标识与第二小区的标识是否相同，若相同，进一步确定调度小区信息中调度小区内使用的载波指示域的值与在第二小区接收到的MC-DCI中CIF的值是否相同，若相同，则可以确定在第二小区接收到的MC-DCI用于调度第一小区。
需要说明的是，本公开所有实施例中涉及的表格，每一个元素都是独立存在的，这些元素被示例性的列在同一张表格中，但是并不代表表格中的所有元素必须根据表格中所示的同时存在。其中每一个元素的值，是不依赖于表格中任何其他元素值。因此本领域内技术人员可以理解，该表格中的每一个元素的取值都是一个独立的实施例。
在一个实施案例中，网络设备可以通过所述RRC消息携带所述关联关系发送 至终端，可以通过其他方式携带所述关联关系发送至终端，例如可以携带在媒体接入控制控制单元(Media Access Control Control Element，MAC CE)，还可以通过预定义方式确定所述关联关系。
在所述关联关系携带在RRC消息中发送至终端的情况下，具体可以携带在RRC消息的调度小区信息(schedulingCellInfo-r18)中，例如在一个实施例中，调度小区信息包含的内容可以如下所示：
Figure PCTCN2022101654-appb-000001
在调度小区信息指示值为其他(other)的情况下，序列(sequence)可以包括n个指示组合，n为大于1的整数，序列中的每个指示组合包含一组载波指示域的值与调度小区标识，n个指示组合(也即n个载波指示域的值和n个调度小区标识)构成所述关联关系。
对于不支持多小区调度的终端，以及支持多小区调度的终端，但是接收到的DCI为legacy DCI(例如用于调度单小区的DCI)时，这两种终端在接收到上述关联关系后，可以根据现有调度小区信息(schedulingCellInfo)确定接收到的legacy DCI 所调度的小区，也可以根据本实施例中调度小区信息(可以称作schedulingCellInfo-r18)中的所述关联关系确定接收到的legacy DCI所调度的小区。
在根据本实施例中调度小区信息中的所述关联关系确定接收到的legacy DCI所调度的小区时，可以通过预设指示组合中的载波指示域的值与调度小区标识，确定接收到的legacy DCI所调度的单个小区，例如可以根据其中第一指示组合中载波指示域的值与调度小区标识(cif-inSchedulingCell#1和schedulingCellId#1)确定legacy DCI所调度的单个小区。
在一个实施例中，调度小区信息包含的内容可以如下所示：
Figure PCTCN2022101654-appb-000002
在调度小区信息中，可以包括n个其他(other)，每个其他(other)中的序列(sequence)可以包括1个指示组合，指示组合中包含一组载波指示域的值与调度小区标识，n个other中的序列指示组合(也即n个载波指示域的值和n个调度小区标识)构成所述关联关系。
对于不支持多小区调度的终端，以及支持多小区调度的终端，但是接收到的DCI为legacy DCI(例如用于调度单小区的DCI)时，这两种终端在接收到上述关联关系后，可以根据现有调度小区信息(schedulingCellInfo)确定接收到的legacy DCI所调度的小区，也可以根据本实施例中调度小区信息(可以称作schedulingCellInfo-r18)中的所述关联关系确定接收到的legacy DCI所调度的小区。
在根据本实施例中调度小区信息中的所述关联关系确定接收到的legacy DCI所调度的小区时，可以通过预设other指示值中的指示组合(包含载波指示域的值与调度小区标识)，确定接收到的legacy DCI所调度的单个小区，例如可以根据其中第一个other(other#1)中的指示组合中的载波指示域的值与调度小区标识确定接收到的legacy DCI所调度的单个小区。
图4是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种调度确定方法的示意流程图。如图4所示，所述方法还包括：
在步骤S401中，根据服务小区对应的所述关联关系中载波指示域的值，确定所述DCI中载波指示域的尺寸(size，也即所占比特的数量)；其中，所述服务小区为所述DCI当前调度的小区(例如第一小区)或所述DCI所能调度的小区(可以包括第一小区以及第一小区以外的小区)中的服务小区，所述DCI所能调度的小区可以通过集合的形式定义。
在一个实施例中，在DCI中的CIF尺寸不同时，终端对于DCI的解析方式可以有所不同，因此，终端需要确定在第二小区接收到的MC-DCI中CIF的尺寸，以便准确地对MC-DCI进行解析。
由于在网络设备向终端指示的所述关联关系中，载波指示域可以存在多个值，所以网络设备向终端发送的MC-DCI中CIF的尺寸，需要足够指示所有载波指示域的值。因此，可以根据服务小区对应的关联关系中载波指示域的值的范围，确定MC-DCI中CIF的尺寸，例如可以确定所述服务小区对应的关联关系中载波指示域的最大值，根据最大值确定MC-DCI中载波指示域的尺寸，例如最大值为7，可以确定MC-DCI 中CIF的size为3个比特，例如最大值为3，可以确定MC-DCI中CIF的size为2个比特。
在一个实施例中，所述根据在服务小区接收到的所述关联关系中载波指示域的值，确定所述DCI中载波指示域的尺寸包括：
在所述服务小区对应的所述关联关系中载波指示域的值的范围相同的情况下，根据服务小区载波指示域的值的范围确定所述DCI中载波指示域的尺寸；
和/或在所述服务小区对应的所述关联关系中载波指示域的值的范围不同的情况下，根据所述服务小区对应的所述关联关系中载波指示域的值的最大范围，确定所述DCI中载波指示域的尺寸。
在服务小区对应的所述关联关系中载波指示域的值的范围相同的情况下，服务小区对应的所述关联关系中载波指示域的最大值是相同的，那么可以根据载波指示域的值的范围(例如载波指示域的最大值)确定MC-DCI中CIF的尺寸。例如范围为0-3，可以确定MC-DCI中CIF的size为2个比特；例如范围为0-7，可以确定MC-DCI中CIF的size为3个比特。
在服务小区对应的所述关联关系中载波指示域的值的范围不同(例如部分不同或全部不同)的情况下，服务小区对应的所述关联关系中载波指示域的最大值可以是不同的，那么就需要确定服务小区对应的所述关联关系中载波指示域的值的最大范围，进而根据最大范围确定MC-DCI中CIF的尺寸。例如小区1对应关联关系中的范围为0-3，小区2对应关联关系中的范围为0-7，最大范围为0-7，据此可以确定MC-DCI中CIF的size为3个比特。
图5是根据本公开的实施例示出的一种指示确定方法的示意流程图。本实施例所示的指示确定方法可以由终端执行，所述终端包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、可穿戴设备、传感器、物联网设备等通信装置。所述终端可以与网络设备通信，所述网络设备包括但不限于4G、5G、6G等通信系统中的网络设备，例如基站、核心网等。
如图5所示，所述指示确定方法可以包括以下步骤：
在步骤S501中，确定第一小区对应的关联关系，其中，所述关联关系包括第一信息域的值与所述第一信息域对于所述第一小区所指示信息之间的关联关系；
在步骤S502中，在第二小区接收用于调度多小区的下行控制信息DCI，确定所述DCI中所述第一信息域的值；
在步骤S503中，在所述DCI调度所述第一小区的情况下，根据所述关联关系确定所述DCI中所述第一信息域对于所述第一小区所指示信息。
在一个实施例中，所述第一信息域包括但不限于BWP(Bandwidth part)indicator(部分带宽指示器)、TDRA(Time Domain Resource Assignment，时域资源分配)、FDRA(Frequency Domain Resource Assignment，频域资源分配)、ZP CSI-RS trigger(零功率信道状态信息参考信号触发)、Downlink assignment index(下行分配索引)、PUCCH resource indicator(物理上行控制信道资源指示器)、PDSCH-to-HARQ feedback timing indicator(物理下行共享信道到混合自动重传反馈定时指示器)、Antenna port(s)(天线端口)、Transmission configuration indication(传输配置指示)、SRS request(监听参考信号请求)、DMRS sequence initialization(解调参考信号序列初始化)。
以下主要以BWP indicator这个信息域为例，对本公开的技术方案进行示例性说明。
在一个实施例中，在通过MC-DCI调度多个小区的情况下，MC-DCI中的信息域也需要针对多个小区中的每个小区完成指示。例如终端在第二小区Cell#0接收到的MC-DCI，MC-DCI用于调度的第一小区包括Cell#1和Cell#2，那么就需要确定MC-DCI中的信息域对于Cell#1所指示的信息，以及对于Cell#2所指示的信息。例如对于MC-DCI中的BWP indicator而言，就需要确定BWP indicator对于Cell#1所指示的BWP标识，和对于Cell#2所指示的BWP标识。
在本公开的实施例中，网络设备可以针对服务小区(例如MC-DCI当前调度的小区或MC-DCI所能调度的小区)配置对应的关联关系，例如，终端在服务小区中的第一小区接收到的RRC消息后，确定RRC消息中包含所述关联关系，那么可以确定RRC消息中的所述关联关系为第一小区对应的关联关系。
需要说明的是，终端可以在多个第一小区接收RRC消息，每个第一小区可以具有各自对应的关联关系。不同的第一小区对应的关联关系可以是不同的，也可以是相同的，具体可以根据需要进行配置。
上述第一信息域与所述第一信息域对于第一小区所指示信息之间的关联关系可以包括第一信息域的值与第一信息域对于所述第一小区所指示信息之间的关联关系，可以携带在RRC消息中。
上述第一信息域与所述第一信息域对于第一小区所指示信息之间的关联关系 可以包括一个第一信息域的值与一个第一信息域对于所述第一小区所指示信息之间的关联关系，例第一信息域的值为1，指示信息为BWP标识为3；
上述第一信息域与所述第一信息域对于第一小区所指示信息之间的关联关系可以包括多个第一信息域的值与多个第一信息域对于所述第一小区所指示信息之间的关联关系，例第一信息域的值为0，指示信息为BWP标识为2，第一信息域的值为1，指示信息为BWP标识为3。
根据本公开的实施例，可以确定每个第一小区对应的第一信息域的值与所述第一信息域对于所述第一小区所指示信息之间的关联关系，进而终端在第二小区接收到MC-DCI后，可以根据所述关联关系确定MC-DCI中的信息域对于每个第一小区所指示信息。由于所述关联关系是针对每个第一小区分配配置的，每个第一小区对应的关联关系可以不同，便于灵活调整MC-DCI对于每个第一小区所指示信息。
在一个实施例中，所述确定第一小区对应的关联关系包括：
在所述第一小区接收无线资源控制RRC消息；
在所述RRC消息中确定所述关联关系。
网络设备可以在第一小区向终端发送RRC消息，并在RRC消息中携带第一小区对应的所述关联关系。终端在第一小区接收到RRC消息后，当确定RRC消息中携带有所述关联关系(例如RRC消息中包含第一信息域的值与所述第一信息域对于所述第一小区所指示信息之间关联关系)，可以将RRC消息中的所述关联关系，确定为第一小区对应的关联关系。
图6A是根据本公开的实施例示出的一种应用场景示意图。图6B是根据本公开的实施例示出的另一种应用场景示意图。
如图6A所示，以第一小区包括Cell#1(小区标识为1)和Cell#2(小区标识为2)，第二小区包括Cell#0(小区标识为0)，第一信息域包括BWP indicator为例。
终端确定在Cell#0中接收到的MC-DCI调度了第一小区Cell#1和Cell#2，还调度了第二小区Cell#0。网络设备在Cell#0向终端发送的RRC消息中携带的关联关系为table2-0，在Cell#1向终端发送的RRC消息中携带的关联关系为table2-1，在Cell#2向终端发送的RRC消息中携带的关联关系为table2-2。
table2-0、table2-1、table2-2包含多个第一信息域的值与多个第一信息域对于所 述第一小区所指示信息之间的关联关系。例如在table2-1中，MC-DCI中BWP indicator的值为00，所指示的信息为BWP ID为2，MC-DCI中BWP indicator的值为01，所指示的信息为BWP ID为3，MC-DCI中BWP indicator的值为10，所指示的信息为BWP ID为2，MC-DCI中BWP indicator的值为11，所指示的信息为BWP ID为10。
当终端在Cell#0中接收到的MC-DCI，若终端确定MC-DCI中BWP indicator的值为01(也即1)，进一步地，终端确定table2-0中存在值为1的BWP indicator，进而可以确定值为1的BWP indicator在table2-0中所指示信息为BWP ID为2，从而确定MC-DCI针对Cell#0指示的BWP ID为2；终端确定table2-1中存在值为1的BWP indicator，进而可以确定值为1的BWP indicator在table2-1中所指示信息为BWP ID为3，从而确定MC-DCI针对Cell#1指示的BWP ID为3；终端可以确定table2-2中存在值为1的BWP indicator，进而可以确定值为1的BWP indicator在table2-2中所指示信息为BWP ID为1，从而确定MC-DCI针对Cell#2指示的BWP ID为1。
如图6B所示，以第一小区包括Cell#1(小区标识为1)和Cell#2(小区标识为2)，第二小区包括Cell#0(小区标识为0)，第一信息域包括ZP CSI-RS trigger为例。
终端确定在Cell#0中接收到的MC-DCI调度了第一小区Cell#1和Cell#2，还调度了第二小区Cell#0。网络设备在Cell#0向终端发送的RRC消息中携带的关联关系为table3-0，在Cell#1向终端发送的RRC消息中携带的关联关系为table3-1，在Cell#2向终端发送的RRC消息中未携带所述关联关系，或者携带的关联关系为table3-2，但是table3-2是空白的，表示未配置对应BWP。
table3-0、table3-1包含多个第一信息域的值与多个第一信息域对于所述第一小区所指示信息之间的关联关系。例如在table3-1中，MC-DCI中ZP CSI-RS trigger的值为00，所指示的信息为预留(reserved)，MC-DCI中ZP CSI-RS trigger的值为01，所指示的信息为ZP CSI-RS资源集ID为1。
当终端在Cell#0中接收到的MC-DCI，若终端确定MC-DCI中ZP CSI-RS trigger的值为01(也即1)，进一步地，终端确定table3-0中存在值为1的ZP CSI-RS trigger，进而可以确定值为1的ZP CSI-RS trigger在table3-0中所指示信息为ZP CSI-RS资源集ID为预留，从而确定MC-DCI针对Cell#0指示的ZP CSI-RS资源集ID为预留；终端确定table3-1中存在值为1的ZP CSI-RS trigger，进而可以确定值为1的ZP CSI-RS trigger在table3-1中所指示信息为ZP CSI-RS资源集ID为1，从而确定MC-DCI针对Cell#1指示的ZP CSI-RS资源集ID为1。
需要说明的是，在图6A和图6B中，第一信息域的值排列为从00至11，但是在具体应用中，可以根据需要设置表中第一信息域的值的排列方式，例如可以设置为从11到00，或者并非从上到下单调递增或递减，例如从上到下设置为10、01、00、11。
在一个实施案例中，网络设备可以通过所述RRC消息携带所述关联关系发送至终端，可以通过其他方式携带所述关联关系发送至终端，例如可以携带在MAC CE中发送至终端。
在所述关联关系携带在RRC消息中发送至终端的情况下，以BWP indicator作为第一信息为例，RRC消息可以包括n个指示组合，n为大于1的整数，每个指示组合包含一组BWP indicator的值与BWP ID，n个指示组合(也即n个BWP indicator的值与BWP ID)构成所述关联关系。
对于不支持多小区调度的终端，以及支持多小区调度的终端，但是接收到的DCI为legacy DCI(例如用于调度单小区的DCI)时，这两种终端在接收到上述关联关系后，可以根据其中预设指示组中的BWP indicator的值与BWP ID，确定接收到的DCI中BWP indicator对于第一小区所指示的BWP ID，例如可以根据其中第一指示组中的BWP indicator的值与BWP ID确定接收到的DCI中BWP indicator对于第一小区所指示的BWP ID。
需要说明的是，当终端在MC-DCI调度的所有小区中接收到的RRC消息中都没有收到所述关联关系，那么可以根据传统(legacy)方式确定第一信息域针对第一小区所指示信息。
也可以通过其他方式确定第一信息域针对第一小区所指示信息，例如可以基于参考小区的配置确定，例如可以根据在第一小区接收到的RRC消息中与第一信息域相关的配置参数和MC-DCI中第一信息域的值确定。
其中，参考小区可以根据预定义规则确定，例如为所述第二小区，或者为MC-DCI当前调度的小区中或所能调度的小区中小区标识最大或最小的小区。
以第二小区作为参考小区为例，第一信息域为BWP indicator进行示例，与第一信息域相关的配置参数为BWP的数量。
当终端在MC-DCI调度的所有小区中接收到的RRC消息中都没有确定到所述关联关系，可以先确定第一信息域针对参考小区所指示信息。例如第一信息域BWP  indicator的值为11，针对第二小区(例如小区0)所指示信息为BWP ID为4。
然后可以确定在每个第一小区接收到的RRC消息中与第一信息域相关的配置参数，进而根据在第一小区接收到的RRC消息中与第一信息域相关的配置参数和MC-DCI中第一信息域的值确定MC-DCI中第一信息域针对第一小区所指示信息。
若在第一小区中接收到的RRC消息中与第一信息域相关的配置参数大于或等于第一信息域针对参考小区所指示信息的值的范围，那么可以确定MC-DCI中第一信息域针对第一小区所指示信息与针对参考小区所指示信息相同；例如小区1作为MC-DCI所调度的第一小区，在小区1接收到的RRC消息配置的BWP的数量大于或等于4，那么可以确定MC-DCI中BWP indicator针对小区1所指示信息与针对小区0所指示信息相同，也即针对小区1指示信息也是BWP ID为4。
若在第一小区中接收到的RRC消息中与第一信息域相关的配置参数小于第一信息域针对参考小区所指示信息的值，那么可以确定MC-DCI中第一信息域没有针对第一小区进行指示，或者可以确定MC-DCI中第一信息域针对第一小区所指示信息的值等于在第一小区中接收到的RRC消息中与第一信息域相关的配置参数的最大值。例如小区2作为MC-DCI所调度的第一小区，在小区2接收到的RRC消息配置的BWP的数量等于2(最大值也就是2)，那么可以确定MC-DCI中BWP indicator没有针对小区2进行指示，或者确定MC-DCI中BWP indicator针对小区2所指示信息为BWP ID为2。
图7是根据本公开的实施例示出的另一种调度确定方法的示意流程图。如图6所示，所述方法还包括：
在步骤S701中，根据服务小区对应的所述关联关系中第一信息域的值，确定所述DCI中第一信息域的尺寸(size，也即所占比特的数量)；其中，服务小区为所述DCI当前调度的小区(例如第一小区)或所述DCI所能调度的小区(可以包括第一小区以外的小区)中的服务小区，所述DCI所能调度的小区可以通过集合的形式定义。
在一个实施例中，对于DCI中的第一信息域，尺寸不同时，终端的解析方式可以有所不同，因此，终端需要确定在第二小区接收到的MC-DCI中第一信息域的尺寸，以便准确地进行解析。
由于在网络设备向终端指示的所述关联关系中，第一信息域可以存在多个值，所以网络设备向终端发送的MC-DCI中第一信息域的尺寸，需要足够指示关联关系所 有第一信息域的值。因此，可以根据服务小区对应的关联关系中第一信息域的值的范围，确定MC-DCI中CIF的尺寸，例如可以确定所述服务小区对应的关联关系中第一信息域的最大值，根据最大值确定MC-DCI中载波指示域的尺寸，例如最大值为1，可以确定MC-DCI中CIF的size为1个比特，例如最大值为3，可以确定MC-DCI中CIF的size为2个比特。
在一个实施例中，所述根据在服务小区接收到的所述关联关系中第一信息域的值，确定所述DCI中第一信息域的尺寸包括：
在服务小区对应的所述关联关系中第一信息域的值的范围相同的情况下，根据服务小区第一信息域的值的范围确定所述DCI中第一信息域的尺寸；
和/或在服务小区对应的所述关联关系中第一信息域的值的范围不同的情况下，根据服务小区对应的所述关联关系中第一信息域的值的最大范围，确定所述DCI中第一信息域的尺寸。
在服务小区对应的所述关联关系中第一信息域的值的范围相同的情况下，服务小区对应的所述关联关系中第一信息域的最大值是相同的，那么可以根据第一信息域的值的范围(例如第一信息域的最大值)确定MC-DCI中CIF的尺寸。例如范围为0-1，可以确定MC-DCI中第一信息域的size为1个比特；例如范围为0-3，可以确定MC-DCI中第一信息域的size为2个比特。
在服务小区对应的所述关联关系中第一信息域的值的范围不同的情况下，服务小区对应的所述关联关系中第一信息域的最大值可以是不同的，那么就需要确定服务小区对应的所述关联关系中第一信息域的值的最大范围，进而根据最大范围确定MC-DCI中第一信息域的尺寸。例如小区1对应关联关系中的范围为0-1，小区2对应关联关系中的范围为0-3，最大范围为0-3，据此可以确定MC-DCI中CIF的size为2个比特。
图8是根据本公开的实施例示出的一种关联关系指示方法的示意流程图。本实施例所示的关联关系指示方法可以由网络设备执行，所述网络设备可以与终端通信，所述网络设备包括但不限于4G基站、5G基站、6G基站等通信系统中的基站，所述终端包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、可穿戴设备、传感器、物联网设备等通信装置。
如图8所示，所述关联关系指示方法可以包括以下步骤：
在步骤S801中，向终端指示第一小区对应的关联关系，其中，所述关联关系 包括载波指示域的值与调度小区标识之间的关联关系。
在本公开的实施例中，网络设备可以针对服务小区(例如MC-DCI当前调度的小区或MC-DCI所能调度的小区)配置对应的关联关系，终端在服务小区中的第一小区接收到的RRC消息后，确定RRC消息中包含所述关联关系，那么可以确定RRC消息中的所述关联关系为第一小区对应的关联关系。
需要说明的是，网络设备可以在多个第一小区向终端发送RRC消息，每个第一小区可以具有各自对应的关联关系。不同的第一小区对应的关联关系可以是不同的，也可以是相同的，具体可以根据需要进行配置。
关联关系可以包括多个载波指示域的值与调度小区标识之间的关联关系，在RRC消息中，对应载波指示域的值可以由cif-InScheduingCell域指示。上述关联关系可以携带在RRC消息中，在RRC消息中的类型包括但不限于序列(sequence)，选择(choice)等，例如可以为schedulingCellInfo中一个指示值“other”下的序列，也可以为schedulingCellInfo中多个指示值“other”下的序列。
上述载波指示域与调度小区标识之间的关联关系可以包括一个载波指示域的值与一个调度小区标识之间的关联关系，例如载波指示域的值为1，对应的调度小区标识为0；
上述载波指示域与调度小区标识之间的关联关系格可以包括多个载波指示域的值与一个调度小区标识之间的关联关系，例如载波指示域的值为1，对应的调度小区标识为0，载波指示域的值为2，对应的调度小区标识为0；
上述载波指示域与调度小区标识之间的关联关系可以包括多个载波指示域的值与多个调度小区标识之间的关联关系，例如载波指示域的值为1，对应的调度小区标识为0，载波指示域的值为3，对应的调度小区标识为2。
根据本公开的实施例，网络设备可以确定每个第一小区对应的载波指示域的值与调度小区标识之间的关联关系，并将所述关联关系指示至终端，由于所述关联关系可以定义多个载波指示域的值与多个调度小区标识之间的对应关系，并不限于一个载波指示域的值关联一个调度小区标识，因此后续网络设备根据所述关联关系向终端发送MC-DCI时，有利于提高MC-DCI对第一小区的调度灵活度。例如，网络设备可以根据需要调度的第一小区对应的关联关系，在发送的MC-DCI中设置CIF值，从而动态调整被调度的多个小区(小区组合)。
例如在所述关联关系中，载波指示域的值为1，对应的调度小区标识为0，载波指示域的值为2，对应的调度小区标识为0。那么网络设备在小区标识为0的第二小区中向终端发送的MC-DCI中CIF的值为1时，可以实现对第一小区进行调度，在小区标识为0的第二小区中向终端发送的MC-DCI中CIF的值为2时，也可以实现对第一小区进行调度。
例如在所述关联关系中，载波指示域的值为1，对应的调度小区标识为0，载波指示域的值为3，对应的调度小区标识为2。那么网络设备在小区标识为0的第二小区中向终端发送的MC-DCI中CIF的值为1时，可以实现对第一小区进行调度，在小区标识为2的第二小区中向终端发送的MC-DCI中CIF的值为3时，也可以实现对第一小区进行调度。
图9是根据本公开的实施例示出的另一种关联关系指示方法的示意流程图。如图9所示，所述方法还包括：
在步骤S901中，确定通过在第二小区发送的用于调度多小区的DCI对所述第一小区进行调度，根据所述关联关系确定第二小区的标识对应载波指示域的第一值；
在步骤S902中，在所述第二小区向终端发送所述DCI，其中，所述DCI中指示域的值等于所述第一值。
在一个实施例中，网络设备在将所述关联关系指示至终端后，当需要通过在第二小区发送MC-DCI对第一小区进行调度时，可以根据所述关联关系确定第二小区的标识对应载波指示域的第一值，进而在第二小区向终端发送的MC-DCI中，可以设置MC-DCI中CIF的值等于第一值。终端在第二小区接收到所述MC-DCI后，可以确定MC-DCI中CIF的第一值在所述关联关系中对应的调度小区标识与第二小区的标识相同，从而确定第一小区为MC-DCI所调度小区。
在一个实施例中，所述向终端发送第一小区对应的关联关系包括：在所述第一小区向所述终端发送RRC消息，其中，所述RRC消息中携带所述关联关系。
网络设备可以在第一小区向终端发送RRC消息，并在RRC消息中携带第一小区对应的所述关联关系。终端在第一小区接收到RRC消息后，当确定RRC消息中携带有所述关联关系(例如RRC消息中包含载波指示域的值与调度小区标识之间关联关系)，可以将RRC消息中的所述关联关系，确定为第一小区对应的关联关系。
在一个实施例中，所述方法还包括：确定所述RRC消息中调度小区信息的指 示值；其中，在所述调度小区信息的指示值为其他的情况下，在所述RRC消息中携带所述关联关系。
网络设备在第一小区向终端发送的RRC消息的跨载波调度配置中可以包含调度小区信息中，调度小区信息中可以包含多个类型的数据，例如选择(choice)、序列(sequence)、布尔(boolean)、整数、浮点等，其中，“选择”类型数据的指示值可以为自己(own)，或者为其他(other)。在本公开所有实施例中，调度小区信息的指示值，可以是指调度小区信息中“选择”类型数据的指示值。
在调度小区信息的指示值为自己(own)的情况下，表示第一小区可以受到在第一小区发送的DCI所调度，而不受到在其他小区(例如第二小区)发送的DCI所调度。可见，在这种情况下，已经确定了第一小区仅被终端在第一小区接收到的DCI所调度，所以网络设备在RRC消息中也就无需携带多小区调度的所述关联关系。
在调度小区信息的指示值为其他(other)的情况下，表示第一小区可以受到在其他小区发送的DCI所调度(跨载波调度)，可见，在这种情况下，终端仍然需要确定第一小区被终端在哪个小区接收到的DCI所调度，所以网络设备在RRC消息中可以携带所述关联关系，以供终端确定第一小区是否被终端在第二小区接收到的MC-DCI所调度。所述关联关系中载波指示域的值，可以是RRC消息中调度小区信息中调度小区内使用的载波指示域(可以称作cif-InScheduingCell-r18)的值。
在一个实施例中，所述方法还包括：根据服务小区对应的所述关联关系中载波指示域的值，确定所述DCI中载波指示域的尺寸；其中，所述服务小区包括所述DCI当前调度的小区或所述DCI所能调度的小区，所述DCI所能调度的小区可以通过集合的形式定义。
在一个实施例中，对于DCI中的CIF，尺寸不同时，终端的解析方式可以有所不同，因此，终端需要确定在第二小区接收到的MC-DCI中CIF的尺寸，以便准确地进行解析。
由于在网络设备向终端指示的所述关联关系中，载波指示域可以存在多个值，所以网络设备向终端发送的MC-DCI中CIF的尺寸，需要足够指示所有载波指示域的值。因此，可以根据服务小区对应的关联关系中载波指示域的值，确定MC-DCI中CIF的尺寸，例如可以确定服务小区对应的关联关系中载波指示域的最大值，根据最大值确定MC-DCI中载波指示域的尺寸，例如最大值为7，可以确定MC-DCI中CIF的size 为3个比特，例如最大值为3，可以确定MC-DCI中CIF的size为2个比特。
在一个实施例中，所述根据在服务小区接收到的所述关联关系中载波指示域的值，确定所述DCI中载波指示域的尺寸包括：
在所述服务小区对应的所述关联关系中载波指示域的值的范围相同的情况下，根据载波指示域的值的范围确定所述DCI中载波指示域的尺寸；
和/或在所述服务小区对应的所述关联关系中载波指示域的值的范围不同的情况下，根据所述服务小区对应的所述关联关系中载波指示域的值的最大范围，确定所述DCI中载波指示域的尺寸。
在服务小区对应的所述关联关系中载波指示域的值的范围相同的情况下，服务小区对应的所述关联关系中载波指示域的最大值是相同的，那么可以根据载波指示域的值的范围(例如载波指示域的最大值)确定MC-DCI中CIF的尺寸。例如范围为0-3，可以确定MC-DCI中CIF的size为2个比特；例如范围为0-7，可以确定MC-DCI中CIF的size为3个比特。
在服务小区对应的所述关联关系中载波指示域的值的范围不同的情况下，服务小区对应的所述关联关系中载波指示域的最大值可以是不同的，那么就需要确定服务小区对应的所述关联关系中载波指示域的值的最大范围，进而根据最大范围确定MC-DCI中CIF的尺寸。例如小区1对应关联关系中的范围为0-3，小区2对应关联关系中的范围为0-7，最大范围为0-7，据此可以确定MC-DCI中CIF的size为3个比特。
图10是根据本公开的实施例示出的一种关联关系指示方法的示意流程图。本实施例所示的关联关系指示方法可以由网络设备执行，所述网络设备可以与终端通信，所述网络设备包括但不限于4G基站、5G基站、6G基站等通信系统中的基站，所述终端包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、可穿戴设备、传感器、物联网设备等通信装置。
如图10所示，所述关联关系指示方法可以包括以下步骤：
在步骤S1001中，向终端指示第一小区对应的关联关系，其中，所述关联关系包括第一信息域的值与所述第一信息域对于所述第一小区所指示信息之间的关联关系。
在一个实施例中，在通过MC-DCI调度多个小区的情况下，MC-DCI中的信息域也需要针对多个小区中的每个小区完成指示。例如在第二小区Cell#0向终端发送MC-DCI，MC-DCI用于调度的第一小区包括Cell#1和Cell#2，那么就需要确定MC-DCI 中的信息域对于Cell#1所指示的信息，以及对于Cell#2所指示的信息。例如对于MC-DCI中的BWP indicator而言，就需要确定BWP indicator对于Cell#1所指示的BWP标识，和对于Cell#2所指示的BWP标识。
在本公开的实施例中，网络设备可以针对服务小区(例如MC-DCI当前调度的小区或MC-DCI所能调度的小区)配置对应的关联关系，例如，终端在服务小区中的第一小区接收到的RRC消息后，确定RRC消息中包含所述关联关系，那么可以确定RRC消息中的所述关联关系为第一小区对应的关联关系。
需要说明的是，终端可以在多个第一小区接收RRC消息，每个第一小区可以具有各自对应的关联关系。不同的第一小区对应的关联关系可以是不同的，也可以是相同的，具体可以根据需要进行配置。
上述第一信息域与所述第一信息域对于第一小区所指示信息之间的关联关系可以包括第一信息域的值与第一信息域对于所述第一小区所指示信息之间的关联关系，可以以表格(table)的形式携带在RRC消息中。
上述第一信息域与所述第一信息域对于第一小区所指示信息之间的关联关系可以包括一个第一信息域的值与一个第一信息域对于所述第一小区所指示信息之间的关联关系，例第一信息域的值为1，指示信息为BWP标识为3；
上述第一信息域与所述第一信息域对于第一小区所指示信息之间的关联关系可以包括多个第一信息域的值与多个第一信息域对于所述第一小区所指示信息之间的关联关系，例第一信息域的值为0，指示信息为BWP标识为2，第一信息域的值为1，指示信息为BWP标识为3。
根据本公开的实施例，网络设备可以确定每个第一小区对应的第一信息域的值与所述第一信息域对于所述第一小区所指示信息之间的关联关系，并将该关联关系指示至终端，使得终端在第二小区接收到MC-DCI后，可以根据所述关联关系确定MC-DCI中的信息域对于每个第一小区所指示信息。由于所述关联关系是针对每个第一小区分配配置的，每个第一小区对应的关联关系可以不同，便于灵活调整MC-DCI对于每个第一小区所指示信息。
图11是根据本公开的实施例示出的另一种关联关系指示方法的示意流程图。如图11所示，所述方法还包括：
在步骤S1101中，确定通过在第二小区发送的用于调度多小区的DCI中的第一 信息域对所述第一小区指示的第一信息，根据所述关联关系确定所述第一信息对应的第一信息域的值；
在步骤S1102中，在所述第二小区向终端发送所述DCI，其中，所述DCI中第一信息域的值等于所述关联关系中所述第一信息对应的第一信息域的值。
在一个实施例中，网络设备在将所述关联关系指示至终端后，当需要通过第一信息域针对第一小区指示的第一信息时，可以根据所述关联关系确定第一信息对应的第一信息域的值，进而在第二小区向终端发送的MC-DCI中，可以设置MC-DCI中第一信息域的值等于所述关联关系中所述第一信息对应的第一信息域的值。终端在第二小区接收到所述MC-DCI后，可以确定MC-DCI中第一信息域的值在所述关联关系中对应的第一信息，从而确定MC-DCI中第一信息域针对第一小区所指示信息为第一信息。
在一个实施例中，所述方法还包括：根据服务小区对应的所述关联关系中第一信息域的值，确定所述DCI中第一信息域的尺寸；其中，所述服务小区包括所述DCI当前调度的小区或所述DCI所能调度的小区，所述DCI所能调度的小区可以通过集合的形式定义。
在一个实施例中，对于DCI中的第一信息域，尺寸不同时，终端的解析方式可以有所不同，因此，终端需要确定在第二小区接收到的MC-DCI中第一信息域的尺寸，以便准确地进行解析。
由于在网络设备向终端指示的所述关联关系中，第一信息域可以存在多个值，所以网络设备向终端发送的MC-DCI中第一信息域的尺寸，需要足够指示关联关系所有第一信息域的值。因此，可以根据服务小区对应的关联关系中第一信息域的值的范围，确定MC-DCI中CIF的尺寸，例如可以确定所述服务小区对应的关联关系中第一信息域的最大值，根据最大值确定MC-DCI中载波指示域的尺寸，例如最大值为1，可以确定MC-DCI中CIF的size为1个比特，例如最大值为3，可以确定MC-DCI中CIF的size为2个比特。
在一个实施例中，所述根据在服务小区接收到的所述关联关系中第一信息域的值，确定所述DCI中第一信息域的尺寸包括：
在所述服务小区对应的所述关联关系中第一信息域的值的范围相同的情况下，根据服务小区第一信息域的值的范围确定所述DCI中第一信息域的尺寸；
和/或在所述服务小区对应的所述关联关系中第一信息域的值的范围不同的情况下，根据服务小区对应的所述关联关系中第一信息域的值的最大范围，确定所述DCI中第一信息域的尺寸。
在服务小区对应的所述关联关系中第一信息域的值的范围相同的情况下，服务小区对应的所述关联关系中第一信息域的最大值是相同的，那么可以根据第一信息域的值的范围(例如第一信息域的最大值)确定MC-DCI中CIF的尺寸。例如范围为0-1，可以确定MC-DCI中第一信息域的size为1个比特；例如范围为0-3，可以确定MC-DCI中第一信息域的size为2个比特。
在服务小区对应的所述关联关系中第一信息域的值的范围不同的情况下，服务小区对应的所述关联关系中第一信息域的最大值可以是不同的，那么就需要确定服务小区对应的所述关联关系中第一信息域的值的最大范围，进而根据最大范围确定MC-DCI中第一信息域的尺寸。例如小区1对应关联关系中的范围为0-1，小区2对应关联关系中的范围为0-3，最大范围为0-3，据此可以确定MC-DCI中CIF的size为2个比特。
在一个实施例中，所述向终端发送第一小区对应的关联关系包括：在所述第一小区向所述终端发送RRC消息，其中，所述RRC消息中携带所述关联关系。
网络设备可以在第一小区向终端发送RRC消息，并在RRC消息中携带第一小区对应的所述关联关系。终端在第一小区接收到RRC消息后，当确定RRC消息中携带有所述关联关系(例如RRC消息中包含第一信息域的值与所述第一信息域对于所述第一小区所指示信息之间关联关系的表格)，可以将RRC消息中的所述关联关系，确定为第一小区对应的关联关系。
