[0036] like Figure 1b As shown in the structural diagram of the terminal 100, the terminal 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a processor 210, a memory 220, a communication interface 230, and one or more programs 221, wherein the one or more programs 221 are stored in the memory 220 and are configured to be executed by the processor 210, and the program 221 includes a method for executing the method described in the method embodiment of the present application.

[0037] PUCCH is a physical channel of the uplink in the New Radio (NR) system, which carries UCI. The original intention of setting PUCCH is that when the user equipment (UE) is not scheduled, that is, when it is not allocated UL-SCH (Uplink Shared Channel) resources, the user equipment uses PUCCH to transmit layer 1 / layer 2, namely L1 / L2 control information, including channel state report (Channel State Information, CSI) (such as: Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI) and Channel Quality Indication (CQI), etc.), Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) confirmation (ACK / NACK) and scheduling request.

[0038] Currently, when PUSCH and PUCCH overlap, they are mapped in time slots. However, when PUSCH is transmitted using TBoMS, it is not possible to support the multiplexing of UCI on PUCCH to TBoMS PUSCH.

[0039] In view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide an uplink control information multiplexing method and a related device, which are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] See also Figure 2a , Figure 2a is a flow chart of the uplink control information multiplexing method provided in an embodiment of the present application, which is applied to Figure 1a The terminal 100 in the wireless communication system 10 shown includes the following steps:

[0041] Step 201, the terminal determines a first UCI in uplink control information UCI transmitted by a physical uplink control channel PUCCH or a TBoMS physical uplink shared channel PUSCH that transmits a transmission block across multiple time slots, wherein the transmission time slot of the PUCCH overlaps with the transmission time slot of the TBoMS PUSCH.

[0042] The TBoMS PUSCH refers to a PUSCH occupying at least two consecutive time slots.

[0043] The transmission time slot of the PUCCH carrying the UCI overlaps with part or all of the transmission time slots of the TBoMS PUSCH.

[0044] The UCI may be, for example, HARQ ACK, CSI, etc., which is not limited here.

[0045] In a possible example, the terminal determines that the TBoMS PUSCH transmits the first UCI.

[0046] It can be seen that in this example, the terminal determines that the first UCI is multiplexed onto the TBoMS PUSCH for transmission, so that the terminal transmits the first UCI and UL-SCH data on the TBoMS PUSCH, and the UCI carried on the overlapping time slot is transmitted through the TBoMS PUSCH, thereby improving system performance.

[0047] In this possible example, the PUCCH includes at least two different hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement messages HARQ-ACK.

[0048] The at least two may be 2, 3, etc., and there is no exclusive limitation here.

[0049] It can be seen that, in this example, the PUCCH in the overlapping time slot with the TboMS PUSCH can flexibly carry multiple different HARQ-ACKs.

[0050] In this possible example, the first UCI includes only the first HARQ-ACK of the at least two different HARQ-ACKs.

[0051] For example, if Figure 2b As shown in the example diagram of UCI multiplexing transmission, assuming that PUCCH carries HARQ-ACK1 (illustrated as slot n) and HARQ-ACK2 (illustrated as slot n+1), and TBoMS PUSCH occupies slot n and slot n+1, the terminal determines to multiplex the first HARQ-ACK, i.e., HARQ-ACK1 on slot n, for transmission on TBoMS PUSCH, and discards HARQ-ACK2 in slot n+1.

[0052] It can be seen that in this example, in response to the overlapping transmission time slots of PUCCH and TBoMS PUSCH carrying multiple different HARQ-ACKs, the terminal can multiplex the first HARQ-ACK of multiple different HARQ-ACKs into the TBoMS PUSCH transmission, and discard the multiplexed transmissions of other HARQ-ACKs, so that the network side receives at least one HARQ-ACK without excessively occupying TBoMS PUSCH resources, thereby improving system performance.

[0053] In a possible example, the PUCCH includes at least two PUCCHs that repeatedly transmit the same UCI and / or at least one PUCCH that transmits non-repeated UCI.

[0054] Among them, the at least two repeatedly sent UCIs can be one group or multiple groups, and the UCIs of any two groups are different. The number of repeated transmissions of each group of UCIs is 2 times or more. For example, the first group is HARQ-ACK1+HARQ-ACK1, the second group is HARQ-ACK2+HARQ-ACK2, etc.

[0055] The at least one non-repeated UCI sent refers to a different UCI that is transmitted only once, such as HARQ-ACK3.

[0056] It can be seen that, in this example, the PUCCH overlapping with the TboMS PUSCH transmission time slot can flexibly carry retransmission and / or non-retransmission UCI, thereby improving system flexibility.

[0057] In this possible example, the first UCI includes a single UCI in each group of the at least two repeatedly transmitted identical UCIs and / or the at least one non-repeated UCI.

[0058] For example, if Figure 2c As shown in the example diagram of UCI multiplexing transmission, it is assumed that PUCCH carries HARQ-ACK1 (illustrated implementation slot n), HARQ-ACK1 (illustrated implementation slot n+1), HARQ-ACK2 (illustrated implementation slot n+2), and HARQ-ACK1 (illustrated implementation slot n+3), and TBoMS PUSCH occupies slot n to slot n+2, then the terminal determines to multiplex the first HARQ-ACK, i.e., HARQ-ACK1 on slot n and HARQ-ACK2 on time slot n+2, for transmission on TBoMS PUSCH, and HARQ-ACK1 in slot n+1 will not be multiplexed for transmission on TBoMS PUSCH, but will be transmitted by its corresponding PUCCH.

[0059] For example, Figure 2d As shown in the example diagram of UCI multiplexing transmission, it is assumed that PUCCH carries HARQ-ACK1 (illustrated implementation slot n), HARQ-ACK1 (illustrated implementation slot n+1), CSI1 (illustrated implementation slot n+2), CSI1 (illustrated implementation slot n+3), and TBoMS PUSCH occupies slot n to slot n+3, then the terminal determines to multiplex HARQ-ACK1 on slot n and CSI1 on time slot n+2 for transmission on TBoMS PUSCH, and HARQ-ACK1 on slot n+1 and CSI1 on slot n+3 will not be multiplexed for transmission on TBoMS PUSCH, but will be transmitted by their corresponding PUCCH.

[0060] It can be seen that in this example, the terminal can multiplex a single UCI in each group of retransmitted same UCI for the retransmitted UCI carried by PUCCH to TBoMS PUSCH for transmission, and for non-retransmitted UCI, it can multiplex the non-retransmitted UCI to TBoMS PUSCH for transmission, thereby avoiding multiple multiplexing transmissions of repeated UCI and improving system performance.

[0061] In a possible example, the first UCI only includes UCI on the first time slot of the time slots on the PUCCH that overlap with the transmission time slot of the TBoMS PUSCH.

[0062] For example, if Figure 2e As shown in the example diagram of UCI multiplexing transmission, it is assumed that PUCCH carries HARQ-ACK1 (illustrated as slot n), HARQ-ACK1 (illustrated as slot n+1), HARQ-ACK2 (illustrated as slot n+2), and HARQ-ACK2 (illustrated as slot n+3), and TBoMS PUSCH occupies slot n to slot n+3, then the terminal determines to multiplex the HARQ-ACK on the first overlapping time slot, i.e., HARQ-ACK1 on slot n, for transmission on TBoMS PUSCH, and the remaining UCI is transmitted by its corresponding PUCCH.

[0063] It can be seen that in this example, the terminal only chooses to multiplex the UCI on the first overlapping time slot for transmission on the TBoMS PUSCH, ensuring that the network side can receive HARQ-ACK while reducing the amount of information and improving system performance.

[0064] In a possible example, the first UCI includes all UCIs carried on a PUCCH whose transmission time slot overlaps with the TBoMS PUSCH transmission time slot.

[0065] For example, if Figure 2f The example diagram of UCI multiplexing transmission shown in the figure assumes that PUCCH carries HARQ-ACK1 (illustrated implementation slot n), HARQ-ACK1 (illustrated implementation slot n+1) and CSI1 (illustrated implementation slot n+2), CSI1 (illustrated implementation slot n+3), and TBoMS PUSCH occupies slot n to slot n+3, then the terminal determines to multiplex the UCI on each overlapping time slot for transmission on TBoMS PUSCH.

[0066] It can be seen that in this example, in the case where the PUCCH and TBoMS PUSCH transmission time slots overlap, the terminal can multiplex the UCI on each overlapping time slot in the TBoMS PUSCH transmission, and the UCI is complete, comprehensive and accurate.

[0067] In a possible example, the PUCCH includes at least one PUCCH for sending HARQ-ACK or a scheduling request (Scheduling Request, SR), and the at least one PUCCH includes a first PUCCH with a high priority.

[0068] The first PUCCH may be part or all of the PUCCH, and is not limited here.

[0069] It can be seen that, in this example, the PUCCH overlapping with the TBoMS PUSCH transmission time slot includes the first PUCCH with a high priority, thereby realizing priority-based PUCCH resource configuration.

[0070] In this possible example, the TBoMS PUSCH transmits the first UCI on the first time slot, which is a time slot on the TBoMS PUSCH excluding the time slot overlapping with the first PUCCH transmission time slot, and the first UCI is the UCI carried on the PUCCH that can be multiplexed on the TBoMS PUSCH and needs to be multiplexed on the TBoMS PUSCH.

[0071] For example, if Figure 2g The example diagram of UCI multiplexing transmission shown in the figure assumes that PUCCH carries HARQ-ACK1 (illustrated implementation slot n), HARQ-ACK2 (illustrated implementation slot n+1), HARQ-ACK2 (illustrated implementation slot n+2), HARQ-ACK2 (illustrated implementation slot n+3), the first PUCCH carrying HARQ-ACK1 is of high priority, and TBoMS PUSCH occupies slot n to slot n+1, then the terminal determines that HARQ-ACK1 on slot n is multiplexed for transmission on its corresponding first PUCCH, and HARQ-ACK2 on the overlapping time slot slot n+1 is multiplexed for transmission on the second overlapping time slot of TBoMS PUSCH, i.e., slot n+1.

[0072] It can be seen that in this example, for the first high-priority PUCCH, the system supports a multiplexing transmission mechanism at the time slot unit level, that is, multiplexing the UCI corresponding to the time slot overlapping with the non-high-priority PUCCH transmission time slot on the TBoMS PUSCH.

[0073] In this possible example, the TBoMS PUSCH transmits the first UCI on the first sub-timeslot, the first sub-timeslot is the sub-timeslot on the TBoMS PUSCH except the sub-timeslot overlapping with the first PUCCH transmission sub-timeslot, and the first UCI is the UCI carried on the PUCCH that can be multiplexed on the TBoMS PUSCH and needs to be multiplexed on the TBoMS PUSCH.

[0074] For example, if Figure 2h The example diagram of UCI multiplexing transmission shown in the figure assumes that PUCCH carries HARQ-ACK1 (illustrated implementation slot n), HARQ-ACK2 (illustrated implementation slot n+1), HARQ-ACK2 (illustrated implementation slot n+2), HARQ-ACK2 (illustrated implementation slot n+3), the first PUCCH carrying HARQ-ACK1 is of high priority, and TBoMS PUSCH occupies slot n to slot n+1, then the terminal determines that HARQ-ACK1 on slot n is multiplexed for transmission on its corresponding first PUCCH, and HARQ-ACK2 on the overlapping time slot slot n+1 is multiplexed on the second sub-slot of the first overlapping time slot of TBoMS PUSCH (one sub-slot occupies 7 symbols in the figure) for transmission.

[0075] It can be seen that in this example, for the first high-priority PUCCH, the system supports a multiplexing transmission mechanism at the sub-slot unit level, that is, multiplexing and transmitting the corresponding UCI in the sub-slot after the sub-slot where the TBoMS PUSCH overlaps with the high-priority PUCCH transmission sub-slot.

[0076] In this possible example, the TBoMS PUSCH transmits the first UCI and UL-SCH data on symbols other than symbols overlapping with the first PUCCH. The TBoMS PUSCH transmits the first UCI on a first symbol, the first symbol being a symbol on the TBoMS PUSCH other than symbols overlapping with symbols transmitted by the first PUCCH, and the first UCI being a UCI carried on the PUCCH that can be multiplexed on the TBoMS PUSCH and needs to be multiplexed on the TBoMS PUSCH.

[0077] For example, if Figure 2iThe example diagram of UCI multiplexing transmission shown in the figure assumes that PUCCH carries HARQ-ACK1 (illustrated implementation slot n), HARQ-ACK2 (illustrated implementation slot n+1), HARQ-ACK2 (illustrated implementation slot n+2), HARQ-ACK2 (illustrated implementation slot n+3), the first PUCCH carrying HARQ-ACK1 is a high priority, and TBoMS PUSCH occupies slot n to slot n+1, then the terminal determines that HARQ-ACK1 on slot n is multiplexed and transmitted on its corresponding first PUCCH, and HARQ-ACK2 on the overlapping time slot slot n+1 is multiplexed and transmitted on the symbols starting from the 6th symbol of the first overlapping time slot of TBoMS PUSCH.

[0078] It can be seen that in this example, for the first high-priority PUCCH, the system supports a multiplexing transmission mechanism at the symbol unit level, that is, multiplexing the corresponding UCI on the symbol after the symbol where the TBoMS PUSCH and the high-priority PUCCH transmission symbols overlap.

[0079] In a possible example, the first time slot of the TBoMS PUSCH overlaps with the PUCCH.

[0080] It can be seen that in this example, only when the first time slot of TBoMS PUSCH overlaps with PUCCH, the UCI carried on PUCCH will be multiplexed on TBoMS PUSCH.

[0081] In a possible example, the terminal determines the first UCI in the PUCCH transmission uplink control information UCI.

[0082] The transmission time slot of the PUCCH carrying the first UCI overlaps with part or all of the transmission time slots of the TBoMS PUSCH.

[0083] For example, if Figure 2j The example diagram of UCI multiplexing transmission shown in the figure assumes that PUCCH carries HARQ-ACK1 (illustrated as slot n) and HARQ-ACK2 (illustrated as slot n+1), and TBoMS PUSCH occupies slot n to slot n+1, then the terminal determines that HARQ-ACK1 on the overlapping time slot slot n is multiplexed for transmission on its corresponding PUCCH, and HARQ-ACK2 on the overlapping time slot slot n+1 is multiplexed for transmission on its corresponding PUCCH, and the UL-SCH data of TBoMS PUSCH is discarded.

[0084] It can be seen that in this example, the system supports discarding the UL-SCH data on the TBoMS PUSCH and multiplexing the UCI for transmission on the PUCCH.

[0085] In addition, in the above example, in the case where the first UCI for multiplexing transmission includes multiple UCIs, the terminal can specifically adopt two methods of combined mapping or independent mapping for the multiple UCIs.

[0086] In the combined mapping mode, the terminal may jointly encode the multiple UCIs and multiplex them on the TBoMS PUSCH for transmission. The specific encoding mode is not limited, or simple bit combination and multiplexing may be performed.

[0087] In the independent mapping mode, the terminal may map each UCI among the multiple UCIs into the corresponding time slot according to the existing mapping mode of PUCCH and PUSCH, and the specific implementation method is not described in detail here.

[0088] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal provides a method for multiplexing UCI to TBoMS PUSCH or PUCCH in response to the situation where TBoMS PUSCH and PUCCH have overlapping time slots, thereby realizing the transmission of UCI carried on the overlapping time slots and improving system performance.

[0089] The embodiment of the present application provides an uplink control information multiplexing device, which may be a terminal. Specifically, the uplink control information multiplexing device is used to execute the steps executed by the terminal in the above uplink control information multiplexing method. The uplink control information multiplexing device provided in the embodiment of the present application may include modules corresponding to the corresponding steps.

[0090] The embodiment of the present application can divide the functional modules of the uplink control information multiplexing device according to the above method example. For example, each functional module can be divided according to each function, or two or more functions can be integrated into one processing module. The above integrated module can be implemented in the form of hardware or in the form of software functional modules. The division of modules in the embodiment of the present application is schematic and is only a logical function division. There may be other division methods in actual implementation.

[0091] In the case of dividing each functional module into corresponding functional modules, Figure 3 A possible structural diagram of the uplink control information multiplexing device involved in the above embodiment is shown. Figure 3 As shown, the uplink control information multiplexing device 3 is applied to the terminal; the device includes:

[0092] The determination unit 30 is used to determine the first UCI in the uplink control information UCI transmitted by the physical uplink control channel PUCCH or the TBoMS physical uplink shared channel PUSCH that transmits the transmission block across multiple time slots, and the transmission time slot of the PUCCH overlaps with the transmission time slot of the TBoMS PUSCH.

[0093] In a possible example, the terminal determines that the TBoMS PUSCH transmits the first UCI.

[0094] In a possible example, the PUCCH includes at least two different hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement messages HARQ-ACK.

[0095] In one possible example, the first UCI includes only the first HARQ-ACK of the at least two different HARQ-ACKs.

[0096] In a possible example, the PUCCH includes at least two PUCCHs that repeatedly transmit the same UCI and / or at least one PUCCH that transmits non-repeated UCI.

[0097] In a possible example, the first UCI includes a single UCI in each group of the at least two repeatedly transmitted same UCIs and / or the at least one non-repeated UCI.

[0098] In a possible example, the first UCI only includes UCI on the first time slot of the time slots on the PUCCH that overlap with the transmission time slot of the TBoMS PUSCH.

[0099] In a possible example, the first UCI includes all UCIs carried on a PUCCH whose transmission time slot overlaps with the TBoMS PUSCH transmission time slot.

[0100] In a possible example, the PUCCH includes at least one PUCCH for sending HARQ-ACK or scheduling request SR, and the at least one PUCCH includes a first PUCCH with a high priority.

[0101] In a possible example, the TBoMS PUSCH transmits the first UCI on a first time slot, where the first time slot is a time slot on the TBoMS PUSCH excluding a time slot overlapping with a time slot for transmitting the first PUCCH, and the first UCI is a UCI carried on the PUCCH that can be multiplexed on the TBoMS PUSCH and needs to be multiplexed on the TBoMS PUSCH.

[0102] In a possible example, the TBoMS PUSCH transmits the first UCI on a first sub-timeslot, where the first sub-timeslot is a sub-timeslot on the TBoMS PUSCH excluding a sub-timeslot overlapping with a sub-timeslot for transmitting the first PUCCH, and the first UCI is a UCI carried on the PUCCH that can be multiplexed on the TBoMS PUSCH and needs to be multiplexed on the TBoMS PUSCH.

[0103] In a possible example, the TBoMS PUSCH transmits the first UCI and UL-SCH data on symbols other than symbols overlapping with the first PUCCH. The TBoMS PUSCH transmits the first UCI on a first symbol, where the first symbol is a symbol on the TBoMS PUSCH other than symbols overlapping with symbols transmitted by the first PUCCH, and the first UCI is a UCI carried on the PUCCH that can be multiplexed on the TBoMS PUSCH and needs to be multiplexed on the TBoMS PUSCH.

[0104] In a possible example, the first time slot of the TBoMS PUSCH overlaps with the PUCCH.

[0105] In a possible example, the terminal determines the first UCI in the PUCCH transmission uplink control information UCI.

[0106] In a possible example, a transmission time slot of the PUCCH carrying the first UCI overlaps with part or all of the transmission time slots of the TBoMS PUSCH.

[0107] In the case of using an integrated unit, the structural diagram of another uplink control information multiplexing device provided in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 4 As shown. Figure 4 In the embodiment, the uplink control information multiplexing device 4 includes: a processing module 40 and a communication module 41.
