[0043] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] The definitions or explanations of the concepts and terms involved in this application are as follows.

[0045] PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) is a physical channel in the uplink of the NR system, which carries uplink control information. The original intention of setting PUCCH is that when the user is not scheduled, that is, when the user is not allocated UL-SCH (Uplink Shared Channel) resources, the user uses PUCCH to transmit L1 / L2 control information, including channel state reports (such as precoding matrix indicator PMI and channel quality indicator CQI, etc.), HARQ acknowledgments (ACK / NACK), and scheduling requests (SR, scheduling request).

[0046] The technical solution of the embodiment of this application can be applied to, for example, Figure 1a the example communication system 100 shown in the figure. The example communication system 100 includes a terminal 110 and a network device 120, and the terminal 110 is communicatively connected to the network device 120.

[0047] The example communication system 100 can be, for example: Global System of Mobilecommunication (GSM) system, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, Advanced long term evolution (LTE-A) system, New Radio (NR) system, an evolved system of the NR system, LTE-based access to unlicensed spectrum (LTE-U) system, NR-based access to unlicensed spectrum (NR-U) system, Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), next-generation communication system, or other communication systems, etc.

[0048] Generally speaking, traditional communication systems support a limited number of connections and are easy to implement. However, with the development of communication technologies, mobile communication systems will not only support traditional communication but also support, for example, device-to-device (D2D) communication, machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, machine type communication (MTC), and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, etc. Embodiments of this application can also be applied to these communication systems. Optionally, the communication system in the embodiments of this application can be applied to a carrier aggregation (CA) scenario, a dual connectivity (DC) scenario, or a standalone (SA) networking scenario.

[0049] Embodiments of this application do not limit the spectrum used. For example, embodiments of this application can be applied to licensed spectrum or unlicensed spectrum.

[0050] The terminal 110 in the embodiments of this application can refer to a user equipment, an access terminal, a user unit, a user station, a mobile station, a mobile device, a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a user terminal, a terminal, a wireless communication device, a user agent, or a user device. The terminal can also be a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a session initiation protocol (SIP) phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a handheld device with wireless communication capabilities, a computing device, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, a relay device, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a terminal in a future 5G network, or a terminal in a future evolved public land mobile network (PLMN). Embodiments of this application do not limit this. As Figure 1b shown, the terminal 110 in the terminal of the embodiments of this application can include one or more of the following components: a processor 110, a memory 120, and an input / output device 130. The processor 110 is communicatively connected to the memory 120 and the input / output device 130 respectively.

[0051] The network device 120 in the embodiments of this application may be a device for communicating with a terminal. The network device may be an evolved NodeB (eNB) in an LTE system, or a radio controller in a cloud radio access network (CRAN) scenario. Alternatively, the network device may be a relay device, an access point, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, and a network device in a future 5G network or a network device in a future evolved PLMN network, one or a group of antenna panels (including multiple antenna panels) of a base station in a 5G system. Or, it may also be a network node constituting a gNB or a transmission point, such as a baseband unit (BBU), or a distributed unit (DU), etc. The embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0052] In some deployments, a gNB may include a centralized unit (CU) and a DU. A gNB may also include an active antenna unit (AAU). The CU implements some functions of the gNB, and the DU implements some functions of the gNB. For example, the CU is responsible for processing non-real-time protocols and services, and implementing the functions of the radio resource control (RRC) layer and the packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer. The DU is responsible for processing physical layer protocols and real-time services, and implementing the functions of the radio link control (RLC) layer, the media access control (MAC) layer, and the physical (PHY) layer. The AAU implements some physical layer processing functions, radio frequency processing, and related functions of active antennas. Since the information in the RRC layer will ultimately become the information in the PHY layer, or is transformed from the information in the PHY layer, therefore, in this architecture, high-layer signaling, such as RRC layer signaling, can also be considered to be sent by the DU, or sent by the DU + AAU. It can be understood that the network device may be a device including one or more of the CU node, the DU node, and the AAU node. In addition, the CU may be classified as a network device in the radio access network (RAN), or the CU may be classified as a network device in the core network (CN). This application does not limit this.

[0053] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal 110 or the network device 120 includes a hardware layer, an operating system layer running on the hardware layer, and an application layer running on the operating system layer. The hardware layer includes hardware such as a central processing unit (CPU), a memory management unit (MMU), and a memory (also referred to as main memory). The operating system can be any one or more computer operating systems that implement service processing through processes. For example, the Linux operating system, the Unix operating system, the Android operating system, the iOS operating system, or the Windows operating system, etc. The application layer includes applications such as a browser, an address book, a word processing software, and an instant messaging software. Moreover, the embodiments of the present application do not particularly limit the specific structure of the execution subject of the method provided in the embodiments of the present application. As long as it can communicate according to the method provided in the embodiments of the present application by running a program recording the code of the method provided in the embodiments of the present application. For example, the execution subject of the method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be a terminal, or a functional module in the terminal that can call and execute the program.

[0054] Currently, the New Radio (NR) protocol supports repeated transmission of PUCCH on multiple time slots to improve the reliability of channel transmission. During the discussion of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Rel-17 version, it was proposed that in a multi-transmit / receive point (TRP) scenario, multiple PUCCHs are sent to two TRPs through different transmission beams, and spatial diversity gain can be obtained, thereby further improving the reliability of PUCCH. The prior art does not consider the repeated transmission of PUCCH in a multi-TRP scenario. Therefore, for the two abnormal situations of postponed transmission and segmented transmission when PUCCH is repeatedly transmitted, relevant beam mapping rules are not defined.

[0055] In view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present application propose a PUCCH resource transmission method, which will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 2a , Figure 2a which is a schematic flowchart of a PUCCH resource transmission method provided by the embodiments of the present application. As shown in the figure, the method includes:

[0057] Step 201, the terminal receives scheduling information from a network device, where the scheduling information is used to instruct the terminal to send M PUCCH resources on consecutive time units. The M PUCCH resources carry the same uplink control information. The time unit includes a time slot or a sub - time slot, and M is an integer greater than 1.

[0058] Among them, the NR protocol supports the repeated transmission of PUCCH on multiple time slots to improve the reliability of channel transmission. Therefore, multiple PUCCHs can be sent on consecutive time units. Sending a PUCCH means sending the information carried on this PUCCH. These PUCCHs can be repeatedly sent on the same time slot or on different time slots. The same PUCCH can be sent on one time slot or on two consecutive time slots. A time slot is the unit for transmitting summary information in circuit switching and is a part of the serial self - multiplexing of time slot information dedicated to a single channel. It can also be understood as a channel. Multiple people share a resource and use a time - sharing method. One time slot is equivalent to one channel. One time slot can also be divided into multiple sub - time slots.

[0059] Step 202, the terminal sends the M PUCCH resources according to the scheduling information. Among them, the number N of PUCCH resources actually sent on the first M consecutive time units of the consecutive time units is the same as or different from M, and N is a non - negative integer.

[0060] Among them, after receiving the scheduling information sent by the network device, the terminal will repeatedly send multiple PUCCH resources at consecutive times. Since a time slot includes multiple types of symbols, and the same PUCCH can be sent on one or two consecutive time slots, and different PUCCHs can also be sent on the same or different time slots, the values of M and N may be the same or different when sending PUCCHs on some time slots.

[0061] In this possible example, N is less than M.

[0062] Among them, if the number of uplink symbols in a certain time slot is small, it will cause the PUCCH not to be sent on this time slot. At this time, the situation where N is less than M will occur.

[0063] In this possible example, the sending means sending on M + K consecutive time units. The M + K consecutive time units include the M consecutive time units and the K consecutive time units adjacent after the M consecutive time units, where K >= M - N; there are M - N time units in the M consecutive time units that cannot send the PUCCH resources.

[0064] Among them, there may also be time units in which PUCCH cannot be sent in K consecutive time units. In this case, the delay continues. When a time slot cannot send PUCCH resources due to a small number of uplink symbols, the PUCCH will be postponed, that is, the UE delays sending by one time slot until all PUCCH transmissions are completed.

[0065] In this possible example, the beam mapping relationship between the M+K consecutive time units and the M PUCCH resources satisfies the following conditions: starting from the time unit where the first PUCCH resource indicated by the scheduling information is located, beam mapping is performed according to consecutive time units and repeated according to the pattern composed of M mapping beams.

[0066] In this possible example, the mapping rule of the pattern composed of the M mapping beams satisfies any of the following methods:

[0067] Cyclic switching method, grouped cyclic switching method, half-and-half switching method.

[0068] Among them, the configuration method of the mapping rule of the pattern composed of the M mapping beams can be pre-agreed by the protocol or dynamically indicated by signaling, and is not uniquely limited here.

[0069] In specific implementation, when the PUCCH is postponed, starting from the time slot indicated by the scheduling information, beam mapping is performed according to consecutive time slots and repeated according to the pattern composed of M mapping beams. The cyclic switching method is as Figure 2b shown. Assuming M = 8, N = 7, K = 1, the second time slot in the M consecutive time units cannot send the PUCCH resource, and the M PUCCH resources are sent through beam 1 and beam 2; the beam mapping relationship between the M PUCCH resources and the M+K consecutive time units is (1, 0, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1); where 1 represents the index of beam 1, 2 represents the index of beam 2, and 0 represents that no PUCCH resource is sent in the corresponding time slot.

[0070] In specific implementation, when the PUCCH is postponed, starting from the time slot indicated by the scheduling information, beam mapping is performed according to consecutive time slots and repeated according to the pattern composed of M mapping beams. The grouped cyclic switching method is as Figure 2cAs shown, assume M = 8, N = 7, K = 1. The PUCCH resource cannot be transmitted in the second time slot among the M consecutive time units. The M PUCCH resources are transmitted through beam 1 and beam 2. The beam mapping relationship between the M PUCCH resources and the M + K consecutive time units is (1, 0, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1); where 1 represents the index of beam 1, 2 represents the index of beam 2, and 0 represents that no PUCCH resource is transmitted in the corresponding time slot.

[0071] In a specific implementation, in the case of postponed transmission of PUCCH, starting from the time slot indicated by the scheduling information, beam mapping is performed according to consecutive time slots, and a pattern composed of M mapping beams is repeated. The half - and - half switching method is as Figure 2d As shown, assume M = 8, N = 7, K = 1. The PUCCH resource cannot be transmitted in the second time slot among the M consecutive time units. The M PUCCH resources are transmitted through beam 1 and beam 2. The beam mapping relationship between the M PUCCH resources and the M + K consecutive time units is (1, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1); where 1 represents the index of beam 1, 2 represents the index of beam 2, and 0 represents that no PUCCH resource is transmitted in the corresponding time slot.

[0072] In this possible example, the beam mapping relationship between the M + K consecutive time units and the M transmitted PUCCH resources satisfies the following condition: For the actually transmitted PUCCH resources, beam mapping is performed in the order of the pattern composed of M mapping beams.

[0073] The mapping rule of the pattern composed of the M mapping beams satisfies any one of the following methods: cyclic switching method, grouped cyclic switching method, half - and - half switching method. Among them, the configuration method of the mapping rule of the pattern composed of the M mapping beams can be pre - agreed by the protocol or dynamically indicated by signaling, and is not uniquely limited here.

[0074] In a specific implementation, in the case of postponed transmission of PUCCH, for the actually transmitted PUCCH resources, beam mapping is performed in sequence. The cyclic switching method is as Figure 2e As shown, assume M = 8, N = 7, K = 1. The PUCCH resource cannot be transmitted in the second time slot among the M consecutive time units. The M PUCCH resources are transmitted through beam 1 and beam 2. The beam mapping relationship between the M PUCCH resources and the M + K consecutive time units is (1, 0, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2); where 1 represents the index of beam 1, 2 represents the index of beam 2, and 0 represents that no PUCCH resource is transmitted in the corresponding time slot.

[0075] In a specific implementation, when the transmission of PUCCH is postponed, for the actually transmitted PUCCH resources, beam mapping is performed in sequence. The grouped cyclic switching method is as Figure 2f shown. Assuming M = 8, N = 7, K = 1, the PUCCH resource cannot be transmitted in the second time slot among the M consecutive time units, and the M PUCCH resources are transmitted through beam 1 and beam 2; the beam mapping relationship between the M PUCCH resources and the M + K consecutive time units is (1, 0, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2); where 1 represents the index of beam 1, 2 represents the index of beam 2, and 0 represents that no PUCCH resource is transmitted in the corresponding time slot.

[0076] In a specific implementation, when the transmission of PUCCH is postponed, for the actually transmitted PUCCH resources, beam mapping is performed in sequence. The half - and - half switching method is as Figure 2g shown. Assuming M = 8, N = 7, K = 1, the PUCCH resource cannot be transmitted in the second time slot among the M consecutive time units, and the M PUCCH resources are transmitted through beam 1 and beam 2; the beam mapping relationship between the M PUCCH resources and the M + K consecutive time units is (1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2); where 1 represents the index of beam 1, 2 represents the index of beam 2, and 0 represents that no PUCCH resource is transmitted in the corresponding time slot.

[0077] In this possible example, N is greater than or equal to or less than M.

[0078] Among them, when the symbols occupied by a certain PUCCH resource belong to two time slots, this PUCCH resource may be divided into two, one, or no actually transmitted PUCCH resources, which is the case of PUCCH segmented transmission. That is to say, it is possible to send one PUCCH in two time slots, and these two time slots are adjacent.

[0079] In this possible example, N = M + J - Q, where both J and Q are integers greater than or equal to 0; the N PUCCH resources actually transmitted over the continuous time units are divided into M PUCCH resource groups according to the correspondence with the M PUCCH resources indicated by the scheduling information. Among them, the following PUCCH resource groups with segmentation exist in the M PUCCH resource groups: J PUCCH resource groups each including two actually transmitted PUCCH resources, P PUCCH resource groups each including one actually transmitted PUCCH resource, and Q PUCCH resource groups not including actually transmitted PUCCH resources. And for each PUCCH resource group, the actually transmitted PUCCH resources corresponding to occupy a single PUCCH resource in adjacent time units before and after segmentation are segmented according to the time unit interval, and the transmission beam of the segmented PUCCH resource refers to the transmission beam of the PUCCH resource before segmentation. P is an integer greater than or equal to 0; each of the remaining M - J - P - Q PUCCH resource groups includes an unsegmented single PUCCH resource.

[0080] Among them, over continuous time units, there is a part of PUCCH that transmits information in two adjacent time slots. When the symbols occupied by a certain PUCCH resource belong to two time slots, this PUCCH resource may be divided into two PUCCH resources and transmitted separately. There is also a part of PUCCH that transmits information in a single time slot. After the PUCCH is segmented and transmitted, the transmission beam of the segmented PUCCH is the same as the transmission beam before segmentation.

[0081] In this possible example, the beam mapping relationship between the M PUCCH resources indicated by the scheduling information and the N PUCCH resources actually transmitted over the continuous time units satisfies the following conditions: for the M PUCCH resources indicated by the scheduling information, beam mapping is performed in the order in the pattern composed of M mapping beams; after the PUCCH resource i is segmented, multiple PUCCH resources are obtained, and the transmission beams of these multiple PUCCH resources refer to the transmission beam of the PUCCH resource i, where i is a positive integer less than or equal to M.

[0082] Among them, the mapping rule of the pattern composed of the M mapping beams satisfies any one of the following methods: cyclic switching method, grouped cyclic switching method, half - half switching method. The configuration method of the mapping rule of the pattern composed of the M mapping beams can be pre - agreed by the protocol or dynamically indicated by signaling, and is not uniquely limited here.

[0083] In specific implementation, in the case of PUCCH segmented transmission, the cyclic switching method is as Figure 2hAs shown, assume M = 4, N = 5, J = 1. The symbols occupied by the 3rd PUCCH resource among the M PUCCH resources belong to the 2nd time slot and the 3rd time slot. The M PUCCH resources are transmitted through beam 1 and beam 2. The beam mapping relationship between the N PUCCH resources and the M consecutive time units is (1, 2, 1, 1, 2), where 1 represents the index of beam 1 and 2 represents the index of beam 2.

[0084] In specific implementation, in the case of segmented transmission of PUCCH, the packet cyclic switching method is as Figure 2i As shown, assume M = 4, N = 5, J = 1. The symbols occupied by the 3rd PUCCH resource among the M PUCCH resources belong to the 2nd time slot and the 3rd time slot. The M PUCCH resources are transmitted through beam 1 and beam 2. The beam mapping relationship between the N PUCCH resources and the M consecutive time units is (1, 1, 2, 2, 2), where 1 represents the index of beam 1 and 2 represents the index of beam 2.

[0085] In specific implementation, in the case of segmented transmission of PUCCH, the half - and - half switching method is as Figure 2j As shown, assume M = 4, N = 5, J = 1. The symbols occupied by the 3rd PUCCH resource among the M PUCCH resources belong to the 2nd time slot and the 3rd time slot. The M PUCCH resources are transmitted through beam 1 and beam 2. The beam mapping relationship between the N PUCCH resources and the M consecutive time units is (1, 1, 2, 2, 2), where 1 represents the index of beam 1 and 2 represents the index of beam 2.

[0086] In this possible example, the beam mapping relationship between the M consecutive time units and the N PUCCH resources satisfies the following conditions: For the actually transmitted PUCCH resources, beam mapping is performed in the order in the pattern formed by the M mapping beams, and repetition is performed according to the pattern formed by the M mapping beams.

[0087] In specific implementation, in the case of segmented transmission of PUCCH, the cyclic switching method is as Figure 2k As shown, assume M = 4, N = 5, J = 1. The symbols occupied by the 3rd PUCCH resource among the M PUCCH resources belong to the 2nd time slot and the 3rd time slot. The M PUCCH resources are transmitted through beam 1 and beam 2. The beam mapping relationship between the N PUCCH resources and the M consecutive time units is (1, 2, 1, 2, 1), where 1 represents the index of beam 1 and 2 represents the index of beam 2.

[0088] In a specific implementation, in the case of segmented transmission of PUCCH, the packet cyclic handover mode is as follows Figure 2l shown. Assuming M = 4, N = 5, J = 1, the symbols occupied by the third PUCCH resource among the M PUCCH resources belong to the second time slot and the third time slot, and the M PUCCH resources are transmitted through beam 1 and beam 2; the beam mapping relationship between the N PUCCH resources and the M consecutive time units is (1, 1, 2, 2, 1); where 1 represents the index of beam 1 and 2 represents the index of beam 2.

[0089] In a specific implementation, in the case of segmented transmission of PUCCH, the half - and - half handover mode is as follows Figure 2m shown.
