Taking Figure 1 the shown communication system 100 as an example, the communication devices may include a network device 110 and a terminal 120 with communication functions. The network device 110 and the terminal 120 may be the specific devices described above and will not be elaborated here; the communication devices may also include other devices in the communication system 100, such as other network entities such as a network controller and a mobility management entity. The embodiments of the present application do not make any limitations in this regard.

[0037] It should be understood that the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably in this article. The term " / or" in this article is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B may indicate: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0038] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the following describes the technical solutions related to the embodiments of the present application.

[0039] In 5G NR Rel-15, it is specified that only one PUCCH carrying ACK / NACK information can be transmitted within one time slot. Such a PUCCH is called a slot-based PUCCH. A slot-based PUCCH may occupy all or part of the time domain resources within one time slot. If the ACK / NACK information of multiple downlink channels is transmitted through one time slot, the ACK / NACK information of the multiple downlink channels is multiplexed and transmitted through one slot-based PUCCH.

[0040] For the ultra-reliable low latency (URLLC) services in Rel-16, to meet the short latency requirement, further, sub-slot-based ACK / NACK feedback is supported. At this time, the time interval between the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) and the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) for transmitting the corresponding ACK / NACK information is determined with the sub-slot as the resource unit. Such a PUCCH is called a sub-slot-based PUCCH. A sub-slot-based PUCCH can only occupy the time-domain resources within one sub-slot for transmission, that is, a sub-slot-based PUCCH cannot be transmitted across sub-slots. The time-domain resources of a sub-slot can include 2 symbols or 7 symbols, and multiple sub-slot-based PUCCHs carrying ACK / NACK information can be transmitted within one time slot.

[0041] In addition, NR Rel-16 can simultaneously construct two Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest - Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback codebooks for terminal devices supporting different types of services. The following description will simply refer to the HARQ-ACK feedback codebook as the feedback codebook. The two feedback codebooks respectively correspond to different priorities (priority number 0 is low priority, and priority number 1 is high priority). The priority information of the PUCCH carrying the feedback codebook is the same as the priority information corresponding to the feedback codebook. The two feedback codebooks can be respectively configured to be transmitted through slot-based PUCCH or sub-slot-based PUCCH, that is:

[0042] ● One feedback codebook is transmitted through slot-based PUCCH, and the other feedback codebook is transmitted through sub-slot-based PUCCH; or,

[0043] ● Both feedback codebooks are transmitted through slot-based PUCCH; or,

[0044] ● Both feedback codebooks are transmitted through sub-slot-based PUCCH.

[0045] It should be noted that the feedback codebook transmitted through slot-based PUCCH can also be called the "slot-based codebook". The feedback codebook transmitted through sub-slot-based PUCCH can also be called the "sub-slot-based codebook".

[0046] When the terminal device supports two feedback codebooks, the two feedback codebooks respectively correspond to different priorities, and the priority information of the PUCCH carrying the feedback codebook is the same as the priority information corresponding to the feedback codebook. This priority information can also be applied to other uplink channels, that is, each uplink channel of the terminal device has a corresponding priority information. If the terminal device needs to transmit multiple uplink channels within a time slot, and the time domains of multiple uplink channels with the same priority overlap, the terminal device determines a multiplexing channel for this priority to transmit the information carried in all channels with this priority. Since the two feedback codebooks respectively correspond to two priorities, two multiplexing channels to be transmitted can be obtained, and these two multiplexing channels to be transmitted respectively correspond to different priorities. If the time domains of these two multiplexing channels to be transmitted overlap, only the multiplexing channel with the higher priority is transmitted. If the time domains of these two multiplexing channels to be transmitted do not overlap, these two multiplexing channels to be transmitted are transmitted separately.

[0047] 3GPP specifies that only one slot-based PUCCH carrying ACK / NACK information can be transmitted within a time slot. However, according to the above description, when the terminal device supports two feedback codebooks carrying ACK / NACK information, and at least one feedback codebook is transmitted through the slot-based PUCCH, there will be a situation where multiple PUCCHs carrying ACK / NACK information are transmitted within a time slot, and at least one of the multiple PUCCHs is a slot-based PUCCH. This situation conflicts with the constraints of the slot-based PUCCH, thus increasing the processing complexity of the terminal device. Therefore, the following technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are proposed.

[0048] Figure 2 It is a schematic flowchart of the uplink control information transmission method provided by the embodiments of this application, as Figure 2 shown, the uplink control information transmission method includes the following steps:

[0049] Step 201: The terminal device receives first configuration information, and the first configuration information is used to instruct the terminal device to generate at least two feedback codebooks, where the at least two feedback codebooks include a first feedback codebook and a second feedback codebook.

[0050] In the embodiments of this application, the terminal device receives the first configuration information sent by the network device, where the network device may be a base station, such as a gNB.

[0051] In the embodiments of this application, the first configuration information is used to instruct the terminal device to generate at least two feedback codebooks, where the at least two feedback codebooks include a first feedback codebook and a second feedback codebook.

[0052] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, the case where the at least two feedback codebooks include two feedback codebooks is taken as an example for illustration, but it is not limited thereto. The at least two feedback codebooks may further include a greater number of feedback codebooks. For example, the at least two feedback codebooks include a first feedback codebook, a second feedback codebook, and a third feedback codebook.

[0053] Step 202: When the terminal device determines to construct the first feedback codebook and / or when the terminal device determines to transmit a first PUCCH carrying the first feedback codebook, the terminal device determines not to construct the second feedback codebook and / or the terminal determines not to transmit a second PUCCH carrying the second feedback codebook; wherein, both the first PUCCH and the second PUCCH are located in a first time slot.

[0054] In the embodiments of the present application, the PUCCH carrying the first feedback codebook is a first PUCCH, and the PUCCH carrying the second feedback codebook is a second PUCCH. Wherein, both the first PUCCH and the second PUCCH are located in a first time slot.

[0055] In the embodiments of the present application, if the terminal device determines to construct the first feedback codebook and / or when the terminal device determines to transmit a first PUCCH carrying the first feedback codebook, then the terminal device determines not to construct the second feedback codebook and / or the terminal determines not to transmit a second PUCCH carrying the second feedback codebook. The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the specific implementation of the first PUCCH and the second PUCCH.

[0056] ● Case 1: The first PUCCH is a slot-based PUCCH; the second PUCCH is a slot-based PUCCH or a sub-slot-based PUCCH.

[0057] In the embodiments of the present application, the priority number of the first feedback codebook is a first number, and the first number is used to indicate that the priority of the first feedback codebook is a first priority (such as a high priority). Further, optionally, the first number is, for example, 1.

[0058] For this case, the terminal device determines to construct the first feedback codebook and / or the terminal device determines to transmit a first PUCCH carrying the first feedback codebook, and the terminal device determines not to construct the feedback codebook other than the first feedback codebook among the at least two feedback codebooks and / or the terminal determines not to transmit a second PUCCH, where the second PUCCH is used to carry the feedback codebook other than the first feedback codebook among the at least two feedback codebooks.

[0059] In one example, taking the at least two feedback codebooks including two feedback codebooks as an example, the feedback codebook other than the first feedback codebook among the at least two feedback codebooks is the second feedback codebook.

[0060] It should be noted that the description of "not construct" in the embodiments of this application can also be equivalently replaced by "skip construction", or "drop construction", or "stop construction", or "not expected to construct".

[0061] ● Case 2: The first PUCCH is a slot-based PUCCH; the second PUCCH is a slot-based PUCCH.

[0062] In the embodiments of this application, the priority number of the first feedback codebook is a first number, and the first number is used to indicate that the priority of the first feedback codebook is a first priority (such as high priority). Further, optionally, the first number is, for example, 1. And the priority number of the second feedback codebook is a second number, and the second number is used to indicate that the priority of the second feedback codebook is a second priority (such as low priority), and the second priority is lower than the first priority. Further, optionally, the first number is, for example, 1. The second number is, for example, 0.

[0063] For this case, the terminal device determines to construct the first feedback codebook and / or the terminal device determines to transmit a first PUCCH carrying the first feedback codebook, and the terminal device determines not to construct the second feedback codebook and / or the terminal determines not to transmit a second PUCCH, where the second PUCCH is used to carry the second feedback codebook among the at least two feedback codebooks.

[0064] It should be noted that the description of "not construct" in the embodiments of this application can also be equivalently replaced by "skip construction", or "drop construction", or "stop construction", or "not expected to construct".

[0065] In the above solution, optionally, the slot-based PUCCH has one of the following characteristics:

[0066] The time-domain unit of the slot-based PUCCH is a slot;

[0067] At most one slot-based PUCCH is included in one slot, and the slot-based PUCCH is used to carry a feedback codebook;

[0068] The maximum time-domain length of the slot-based PUCCH is one slot;

[0069] The time-domain length of the slot-based PUCCH does not exceed one slot.

[0070] In the above solution, optionally, the sub-slot-based PUCCH has one of the following characteristics:

[0071] The time-domain unit of the sub-slot-based PUCCH is a sub-slot or N time-domain symbols;

[0072] A plurality of sub-slot-based PUCCHs are included in one slot, and the sub-slot-based PUCCH is used to carry a feedback codebook;

[0073] The maximum time-domain length of the sub-slot-based PUCCH is one sub-slot or N time-domain symbols;

[0074] The time-domain length of the sub-slot-based PUCCH does not exceed one sub-slot or N time-domain symbols;

[0075] Wherein, N is a positive integer, and the value of N is less than the number of time-domain symbols included in one slot.

[0076] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, even if the time domains of the first PUCCH and the second PUCCH do not overlap, since the first PUCCH and the second PUCCH belong to the same slot, the terminal device will also choose not to transmit the low-priority channel among them, ensuring that there can be at most one high-priority slot-based PUCCH carrying a feedback codebook within one slot, thereby simplifying the processing complexity of the terminal device.

[0077] In an optional manner, when the terminal device determines not to construct the second feedback codebook and / or the terminal determines not to transmit the second PUCCH carrying the second feedback codebook, the terminal device determines a multiplexing channel according to at least one uplink channel, where the at least one uplink channel overlaps with any one of all the channels included in the second PUCCH and at least one other channel among all the channels, and the priority of the at least one uplink channel is the same as the priority of the second PUCCH.

[0078] For example: For the first time slot, the terminal device needs to transmit uplink channel 1, uplink channel 2, and uplink channel 3. The priorities of these three channels are the same, and one of these three channels overlaps with one or two other channels. Then, when the terminal device determines not to transmit uplink channel 2 (this channel is the PUCCH carrying the feedback codebook), the multiplexing channel is determined according to uplink channel 1 and uplink channel 3.

[0079] It should be noted that if the terminal device determines not to construct the second feedback codebook and / or not to transmit the second PUCCH carrying the second feedback codebook, then the second PUCCH does not participate in the process of determining the multiplexing channel of channels with the same priority. Here, the terminal device's determination not to construct the second feedback codebook can also be equivalently understood as the terminal device not transmitting the second PUCCH. Since the terminal device first determines not to transmit the second PUCCH and then determines the multiplexing channel with the same priority, this can avoid performing channel multiplexing processing on the second PUCCH. That is to say, since the action of determining not to transmit a certain PUCCH carrying the feedback codebook is before the action of determining the multiplexing channel, unnecessary channel multiplexing processing actions can be avoided.

[0080] In an optional manner, after the terminal device receives the first PDSCH or the downlink control signaling for scheduling the first PDSCH, it determines to construct the first feedback codebook and / or determines to send the first PUCCH carrying the first feedback codebook; where the feedback information corresponding to the first PDSCH is carried in the first feedback codebook.

[0081] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are illustrated below with specific application examples.

[0082] Application Example 1

[0083] The terminal device is configured to generate two feedback codebooks, namely feedback codebook 0 and feedback codebook 1. The priorities of the two feedback codebooks are different, corresponding to priority numbers 0 and 1 respectively, where 1 represents high priority and 0 represents low priority. Feedback codebook 0 is transmitted through slot-based PUCCH 0, and feedback codebook 1 is transmitted through slot-based PUCCH 2.

[0084] As Figure 3 shown, the terminal device first receives PDSCH 0, determines that its corresponding feedback information (i.e., ACK / NACK information) is transmitted in the first time slot, and the priority of its corresponding feedback codebook 0 is low priority, that is, the priority of the corresponding slot-based PUCCH 0 is also low priority. Then, the terminal device receives PDSCH 1 again, determines that its corresponding feedback information is also transmitted in the first time slot, and the priority of its corresponding feedback codebook 1 is high priority, that is, the priority of the corresponding slot-based PUCCH 1 is also high priority. Although both slot-based PUCCH 0 and slot-based PUCCH 1 are slot-based PUCCH, the time domain resources they actually occupy do not overlap. The terminal device still does not transmit slot-based PUCCH 0.

[0085] After determining to send slot-based PUCCH 1 (the terminal device can know to send slot-based PUCCH 1 after receiving PDSCH 1 or the downlink control signaling scheduling PDSCH 1), the terminal device can stop generating feedback codebook 0 or stop preparing slot-based PUCCH 0 to achieve not transmitting slot-based PUCCH 0. It can also determine not to send slot-based PUCCH 0 just before sending slot-based PUCCH 0.

[0086] Application Example 2

[0087] The terminal device is configured to generate two feedback codebooks, namely feedback codebook 0 and feedback codebook 1. The priorities of the two feedback codebooks are different, corresponding to priority numbers 0 and 1 respectively, where 1 represents high priority and 0 represents low priority. Feedback codebook 0 is transmitted through slot-based PUCCH 0, and feedback codebook 1 is transmitted through sub-slot-based PUCCH 1.

[0088] As Figure 4As shown in the figure, the terminal device first receives PDSCH 0, determines that its corresponding feedback information (i.e., ACK / NACK information) is transmitted in the first time slot, and the priority of its corresponding feedback codebook 0 is low priority, that is, the priority of the corresponding slot-based PUCCH 0 is also low priority. Then, the terminal device receives PDSCH 1, determines that its corresponding feedback information is also transmitted within the sub-time slot of the first time slot, and the priority of its corresponding feedback codebook 1 is high priority, that is, the priority of the corresponding sub-slot-based PUCCH 1 is also high priority. Regardless of whether slot-based PUCCH 0 and sub-slot-based PUCCH 1 overlap in the time domain, the terminal device does not transmit slot-based PUCCH 0.

[0089] After the terminal device determines to send sub-slot-based PUCCH 1 (the terminal device can know to send sub-slot-based PUCCH 1 after receiving PDSCH 1 or the downlink control signaling scheduling PDSCH 1), it can stop generating feedback codebook 0 or stop preparing slot-based PUCCH 0, so as to achieve not transmitting slot-based PUCCH 0. It can also just determine not to transmit slot-based PUCCH 0 before transmitting slot-based PUCCH 0.

[0090] Application Example 3

[0091] As Figure 5 shown, both slot-based PUCCH 0 and slot-based PUCCH 1 are used to carry the feedback codebook, where the priority of slot-based PUCCH 0 is low priority and the priority of slot-based PUCCH 1 is high priority. The terminal device determines to transmit slot-based PUCCH 1 in the first time slot and does not transmit slot-based PUCCH 0. Then, within the first time slot, the terminal device determines a high-priority multiplexing channel for high-priority channels (i.e., slot-based PUCCH 1, high-priority channel 1, high-priority channel 2). Since there is only low-priority channel 1 for low-priority channels, there is no need to determine a low-priority multiplexing channel anymore.
