A scheduling method and a method for establishing a schedule list for user equipment (UE) of NB-IoT are provided. The method for establishing the schedule list includes the following steps: synchronizing to a cell; receiving at least one system information parameter from the cell, the at least one system information parameter including at least one system information type and a narrowband system information block type; establishing multiple sub-lists according to the distributions of the at least one system information type and the narrowband system information block type, each element of the sub-lists representing an available subframe; assigning a sub-list code to each sub-list; calculating the number of elements for each sub-list; and establishing a list according to the at least one system information parameter, the sub-list codes, and the numbers of the elements.

A scheduling method for user equipment (UE) of NB-IoT is provided. The scheduling method includes: synchronizing to a cell; receiving from the cell at least one system information parameter that includes a maximum number of repetitions, periods, and offsets of NPDCCH search spaces; establishing a list according to the at least one system information parameter, the list recording multiple available subframes and each available subframe being labeled with an index; calculating a numeral of a start subframe of target NPDCCH repetitions according to a numeral of a target subframe, the period, and the offset; searching the list for a start index corresponding to the start subframe using the numeral of the start subframe; searching the list for a target index corresponding to the target subframe; determining whether the target subframe is within the interval of the target NPDCCH repetitions; and determining whether the target subframe is an NPDCCH candidate subframe.
