The present disclosure provides a scheduling mode determination method, a terminal and a network side device. The scheduling mode determination method includes: receiving, by a terminal, DCI from a network side device; and determining, by the terminal, that the DCI corresponds to a first scheduling mode or a second scheduling mode. The first scheduling mode is a mode in which the transmission of one channel or one signal is scheduled, the second scheduling mode is a mode in which the transmission of N channels or N signals is scheduled, the channel includes an uplink channel or a downlink channel, and the signal incudes an uplink signal or a downlink signal, where N is an integer greater than 1.
