Abstract

A data transmission method, system and device in multi-carrier system, which relate to wireless communication field, are provided for solving the problem, that is, when the scheduling methods for same time unit in the network side of multi-carrier system include Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) and dynamic scheduling at the same time, how the terminal transmits data in said time unit. Before transmitting the uplink data by using the time unit, the terminal determines that the network side schedules the terminal to implement SPS uplink transmission and dynamic scheduling uplink transmission in the time unit by using the uplink component carrier and the number of uplink component carriers which can be used to implement uplink transmission by the terminal is more than one; the terminal selects parts or all of multiple available uplink component carriers, and implements SPS uplink transmission and/or dynamic scheduling uplink transmission in the time unit by using the selected uplink component carriers.

selecting, by the user equipment, all or a part of uplink component carriers among the plurality of available uplink component carriers and performing SPS uplink transmission and/or dynamic scheduling uplink transmission in the time unit over the respective selected uplink component carriers, wherein performing SPS uplink transmission and/or dynamic scheduling uplink transmission in the time unit over the respective selected uplink component carriers comprises;

if the user equipment has both dynamic scheduling uplink transmission and SPS uplink transmission in the time unit over a selected uplink component carrier, the user equipment performing only dynamic scheduling uplink transmission in the time unit over the selected uplink component carrier;

if the user equipment has only dynamic scheduling uplink transmission in the time unit over a selected uplink component carrier, the user equipment performing only dynamic scheduling uplink transmission in the time unit over the selected uplink component carrier; and

if the user equipment has only SPS uplink transmission in the time unit over a selected uplink component carrier, the user equipment performing only SPS uplink transmission in the time unit over the selected uplink component carrier.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the uplink component carrier used for the SPS uplink transmission scheduled from the network side to be performed by the user equipment and the uplink component carrier used for the dynamic scheduling uplink transmission scheduled from the network side to be performed by the user equipment are the same uplink component carrier or different uplink component carriers.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein selecting by the user equipment uplink component carriers comprises:

selecting, by the user equipment, from the plurality of available uplink component carriers those uplink component carriers over which the user equipment is scheduled from the network side to perform dynamic scheduling uplink transmission and/or SPS uplink transmission in the time unit.
