[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of communication, and particularly relates to a UCI transmission method and device, user equipment and medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, in a new radio (NR) system, a user equipment (UE) can support services in multiple different scenarios, for example, an enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) service, an ultra-reliable and low latency communication (URLLC) service, a massive machine type communication (mMTC) service, and the like, to meet the service requirements of users in different scenarios.

[0003] However, because the scheduling period and transmission duration of services in different scenarios are different, in the transmission process of a service (for example, an eMBB service) of the UE, there may be a situation that other services also need to be transmitted, which may cause the uplink channel carrying the uplink control information (UCI) of the eMBB service and the uplink channel carrying the UCI of other services to overlap on a certain time domain resource, thereby causing the UE to cancel the transmission of the UCI of a certain service.

[0004] Therefore, the transmission reliability of the UCI of the UE is low. SUMMARY

[0005] Embodiments of the application provide a UCI transmission method and device, user equipment and medium, which can solve the problem of low transmission reliability of the UCI of the UE.

[0006] In a first aspect, a UCI transmission method is provided, applied to a UE, and the method comprises: in a case where N uplink channels overlap in a time domain resource, transmitting, by the UE, M UCIs carried on the N uplink channels through a target uplink channel of the N uplink channels, N and M being positive integers; the target uplink channel is determined by at least one of the following: a priority of the N uplink channels, a channel type of the N uplink channels.

[0007] In a second aspect, a UCI transmission device is provided, and the UCI transmission device comprises a transmission module. The transmission module is configured to, in a case where N uplink channels overlap in a time domain resource, transmit, by the UCI transmission device, M UCIs carried on the N uplink channels through a target uplink channel of the N uplink channels, N and M being positive integers; the target uplink channel is determined by at least one of the following: a priority of the N uplink channels, a channel type of the N uplink channels.

[0008] In a third aspect, a UE is provided, which includes a processor, a memory, and a program or instructions stored in the memory and executable on the processor, and the program or instructions, when executed by the processor, implement the steps of the method according to the first aspect.

[0009] In a fourth aspect, a UE is provided, which includes a processor and a communication interface, and the communication interface is configured to transmit M UCIs carried on N uplink channels through a target uplink channel in the N uplink channels in a case where the N uplink channels overlap in time domain resources, and N and M are positive integers, and the target uplink channel is determined according to at least one of the following: priority of the N uplink channels, and channel type of the N uplink channels.

[0010] In a fifth aspect, a readable storage medium is provided, which stores a program or instructions, and the program or instructions, when executed by a processor, implement the steps of the method according to the first aspect, or implement the steps of the method according to the third aspect.

[0011] In a sixth aspect, a chip is provided, which includes a processor and a communication interface, and the communication interface is coupled to the processor, and the processor is configured to execute a program or instructions to implement the method according to the first aspect.

[0012] In a seventh aspect, a computer program / program product is provided, which is stored in a non-volatile storage medium, and the program / program product is executed by at least one processor to implement the steps of the method according to the first aspect.

[0013] In the embodiments of the present application, in a case where N uplink channels overlap in time domain resources, the UE can transmit M UCIs carried on the N uplink channels through a target uplink channel in the N uplink channels, which is determined according to priority of the N uplink channels and / or channel type of the N uplink channels. In the transmission process of one service of the UE, if other services need to be transmitted, which causes the N uplink channels to overlap in time domain resources, the UE can transmit the M UCIs through the target uplink channel in the N uplink channels, which is determined according to the priority of the N uplink channels and / or the channel type of the N uplink channels, without canceling the transmission of the UCI of a certain service, and thus the transmission reliability of the UCI of the UE can be improved.

[0033] The UCI transmission method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0034] Figure 2 A flowchart of the UCI transmission method provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown. As shown in Figure 2 The UCI transmission method provided by the embodiments of the present application can include the following steps 101 and 102.

[0035] Step 101: The UCI transmission apparatus receives P UCIs from the network-side device.

[0036] In the embodiments of the present application, P is a positive integer.

[0037] Optionally, in embodiments of the present application, for each of the P UCI, one UCI can be any of the following: hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK), scheduling request (SR), channel state information (CSI), and physical random access channel (PRACH) information.

[0038] Optionally, in embodiments of the present application, the UCI type of each of the P UCI can be the same; or, the UCI type of part of the UCI is the same; and the UCI type of all UCI is different.

[0039] For example, assuming that the P UCI includes HARQ-ACK 1, HARQ-ACK 2, and HARQ-ACK 3, the UCI type of each UCI is the same; and assuming that the P UCI includes HARQ-ACK 1, HARQ-ACK 2, and SR 1, the UCI type of part of the UCI is the same.

[0040] In step 102, in the case that the N uplink channels overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission device transmits M UCI carried on the N uplink channels through a target uplink channel in the N uplink channels.

[0041] It should be noted that the above-mentioned "N uplink channels overlap in time domain resources" can be understood as: all of the N uplink channels overlap; or, part of the N uplink channels overlap (for example, two-by-two overlap, etc.).

[0042] In embodiments of the present application, the N uplink channels include: P uplink channels respectively carrying P UCI, each uplink channel respectively carrying one UCI, and P≤N; and the M UCI includes the P UCI, and P≤M.

[0043] Optionally, in embodiments of the present application, for each of the N uplink channels, one uplink channel can be any of the following: physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

[0044] In the embodiments of the present application, the target uplink channel is determined by at least one of the following: priority of the N uplink channels, channel type of the N uplink channels; N and M are positive integers.

[0045] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the priority of the N uplink channels can be configured by a network side device or determined by the UCI transmission apparatus.

[0046] Further optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, in the case that the first indication field is included in the second UCI of the P UCIs, the priority of the uplink channel carrying the second UCI is determined by the first indication field; in the case that the first indication field is not included in the second UCI of the P UCIs, the priority of the uplink channel carrying the second UCI is a low priority. The second UCI is any one of the P UCIs.

[0047] Further optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the priority of the third UCI of the M UCIs is configured by a network side device. The third UCI is a UCI other than the P UCIs in the M UCIs.

[0048] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the channel type can include at least one of the following: PUCCH type, PUSCH type.

[0049] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, in the case that the target uplink channel is determined by the priority of the N uplink channels, the UCI transmission apparatus can first determine the target uplink channel from the N uplink channels, and then the UCI transmission apparatus can directly transmit the target uplink channel to transmit the M UCIs (i.e. the UCI carried on the target uplink channel).

[0050] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, in the case that the target uplink channel is determined by the priority of the N uplink channels and the channel type of the N uplink channels, the UCI transmission apparatus can multiplex the UCIs of the same type (and / or the UCIs of different types) in the M UCIs to the target uplink channel, and transmit the target uplink channel to transmit the M UCIs.

[0051] Illustratively, assuming that the M UCIs include HARQ-ACK 1, HARQ-ACK 2, SR 1, and CSI 1, in the case that the target uplink channel is determined by the priority of the N uplink channels and the channel type of the N uplink channels, the UCI transmission apparatus can multiplex the UCIs of the same type, i.e. HARQ-ACK 1 and HARQ-ACK 2, in the M UCIs to the target uplink channel, and transmit the target uplink channel.

[0052] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, in the case that the UCI transmission device transmits the M UCIs carried on the N uplink channels through the target uplink channel, the UCI transmission device can cancel the transmission of the second uplink channel or can continue the transmission through the second uplink channel. The second uplink channel is an uplink channel other than the target uplink channel in the N uplink channels.

[0053] The UCI transmission method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be used in the case that the N uplink channels overlap in time domain resources. In this case, the UCI transmission device can transmit the M UCIs carried on the N uplink channels through a target uplink channel in the N uplink channels, which is determined by the priority of the N uplink channels and / or the channel type of the N uplink channels. In the transmission of one service of the UCI transmission device, if other services need to be transmitted, causing the N uplink channels to overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission device can transmit the M UCIs through the target uplink channel in the N uplink channels, which is determined by the priority of the N uplink channels and / or the channel type of the N uplink channels, without canceling the transmission of the UCI of a certain service. Therefore, the transmission reliability of the UCI of the UCI transmission device can be improved.

[0054] The following will illustrate how the target uplink channel is determined by the priority of the N uplink channels.

[0055] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, in the case that the target uplink channel is determined by the priority of the N uplink channels, the target uplink channel is a high-priority uplink channel in the N uplink channels, and the M UCIs are the UCIs carried on the high-priority uplink channel.

[0056] It can be understood that the UCI transmission device can cancel the transmission of the UCI through other uplink channels (i.e., uplink channels other than the target uplink channel in the N uplink channels) and transmit the UCI through the high-priority uplink channel, i.e., the UCI transmission device uses the prioritization mode to transmit the UCI.

[0057] The following will illustrate how the target uplink channel is determined by the priority of the N uplink channels and the channel type of the N uplink channels.

[0058] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the target uplink channel is determined by the priority of the N uplink channels and the channel type of the N uplink channels. Specifically, in combination with the above description of the target uplink channel determined by the priority of the N uplink channels and the channel type of the N uplink channels, the target uplink channel is determined by the priority of the N uplink channels and the channel type of the N uplink channels. Figure 2 For example, Figure 3Before the step 102, the UCI transmission method provided by the embodiments of the present application can further include the following step 201, and the step 102 can be implemented by the following step 102a.

[0059] The step 201, in the case that the N uplink channels overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission device multiplexes the first UCI to the target uplink channel in the case that the N uplink channels include PUCCHs, by using a target multiplexing manner.

[0060] In the embodiments of the present application, the target multiplexing manner is configured by the network side device, and the target multiplexing manner includes at least one of the following: allowing PUCCHs with different priorities to be multiplexed, and allowing PUCCHs with different priorities to be multiplexed with PUSCHs.

[0061] It should be noted that the above-mentioned "allowing PUCCHs with different priorities to be multiplexed" can be understood as that the UCI transmission device can multiplex the UCI carried on one PUCCH among multiple PUCCHs with different priorities to another PUCCH. The above-mentioned "allowing PUCCHs with different priorities to be multiplexed with PUSCHs" can be understood as that the UCI transmission device can multiplex the UCI carried on one PUCCH (or PUSCH) among PUCCHs (or PUSCHs) with different priorities to one PUSCH (or one PUCCH).

[0062] Optionally, in the case that the target multiplexing method is allowing PUCCHs with different priorities to be multiplexed, the UCI transmission device can first multiplex part of the UCI to a certain PUCCH (for example, a PUCCH with high priority), and then multiplex the part of the UCI and the UCI carried on the certain PUCCH to a certain PUSCH, so as to multiplex the first UCI to the target uplink channel (i.e., the certain PUSCH). It can be understood that the first UCI includes the part of the UCI and the UCI carried on the certain PUCCH.

[0063] In the embodiments of the present application, the first UCI includes UCI of the same type among the M UCIs.

[0064] It can be understood that the type of the first UCI is the same as the type of the UCI carried on the target uplink channel.

[0065] Optionally, in a possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the target multiplexing manner is to allow PUCCHs of different priorities to be multiplexed; the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs; and the first UCI includes X PUCCHs carrying UCI of the same type.

[0066] In the case where X is a positive integer and Y is 0, if the X PUCCHs include low-priority PUCCHs and high-priority PUCCHs, the target uplink channel is the high-priority PUCCH.

[0067] In the case where X is a positive integer and Y is a positive integer, if the X PUCCHs include low-priority PUCCHs and high-priority PUCCHs, and the Y PUSCHs do not include high-priority PUSCHs (i.e., the Y PUSCHs only include low-priority PUSCHs), the target uplink channel is the high-priority PUCCH.

[0068] In the case where X is a positive integer and Y is a positive integer, if the X PUCCHs include low-priority PUCCHs and high-priority PUCCHs, and the Y PUSCHs include high-priority PUSCHs, the target uplink channel is the high-priority PUSCH.

[0069] In the case where X is a positive integer and Y is a positive integer, if the X PUCCHs do not include high-priority PUCCHs (i.e., the X PUCCHs only include low-priority PUCCHs), and the Y PUSCHs do not include high-priority PUSCHs (i.e., the Y PUSCHs only include low-priority PUSCHs), the target uplink channel is the low-priority PUSCH.

[0070] The following will be described in two different scenarios, to specifically explain how the UCI transmission apparatus multiplexes the first UCI to the target uplink channel in the case where the target multiplexing manner is to allow PUCCHs of different priorities to be multiplexed.

[0071] For a single carrier (component carrier, CC) scenario

[0072] Table 1 shows that, in the single CC scenario, the UCI transmission apparatus multiplexes different UCIs to different uplink channels according to the priorities of different uplink channels and the channel types of different uplink channels.

[0073] Table 1

[0074]

[0075] As shown in Table 1, in case 1, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (i.e. 2), and Y is 0, the 2 PUCCHs include a low priority PUCCH (i.e. LP PUCCH) and a high priority PUCCH (i.e. HP PUCCH), so that in the case that the 2 PUCCHs overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission device can multiplex the first UCI (i.e. the UCI carried on the low priority PUCCH) onto the target uplink channel (i.e. the high priority PUCCH), and transmit the multiplexed high priority PUCCH.

[0076] In case 2, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (e.g. 2), and Y is a positive integer (e.g. 1), the 2 PUCCHs include a low priority PUCCH and a high priority PUCCH, and the 1 PUSCH includes only a low priority PUSCH (i.e. LP PUSCH), so that in the case that the 2 PUCCHs and the 1 PUSCH overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission device can multiplex the first UCI (i.e. the UCI carried on the low priority PUCCH) onto the target uplink channel (i.e. the high priority PUCCH), cancel transmission of the low priority PUSCH, and transmit the multiplexed high priority PUCCH.

[0077] In case 3, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (e.g. 2), and Y is a positive integer (e.g. 1), the 2 PUCCHs include a low priority PUCCH and a high priority PUCCH, and the 1 PUSCH includes a high priority PUSCH (i.e. HP PUSCH), so that in the case that the 2 PUCCHs and the 1 PUSCH overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission device can multiplex the first UCI (i.e. the UCI carried on the low priority PUCCH, and the UCI carried on the high priority PUCCH) onto the target uplink channel (i.e. the high priority PUSCH), and transmit the multiplexed high priority PUSCH.

[0078] In case 4, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (e.g., 2), and Y is a positive integer (e.g., 2), the 2 PUCCHs include a low-priority PUCCH and a high-priority PUCCH, and the 2 PUSCHs include a low-priority PUSCH and a high-priority PUSCH, so that in the case that the 2 PUCCHs and the 2 PUSCHs overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission apparatus can multiplex the first UCI (i.e., the UCI carried on the low-priority PUCCH and the UCI carried on the high-priority PUCCH) to the target uplink channel (i.e., the high-priority PUSCH), cancel transmission of the low-priority PUSCH, and transmit the multiplexed high-priority PUSCH.

[0079] For multi-CC scenarios

[0080] Table 2 shows that in a multi-CC (e.g., dual-carrier) scenario, the UCI transmission apparatus multiplexes different UCIs to different uplink channels according to the priorities of different uplink channels and the channel types of different uplink channels.

[0081] Table 2

[0082]

[0083]

[0084] As shown in Table 2, in case 1, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (i.e., 1), and Y is a positive integer (i.e., 1), the 1 PUCCH includes a low-priority PUCCH, the 1 PUSCH includes a low-priority PUSCH, the 1 PUCCH corresponds to cell 1 (i.e., C1), and the 1 PUSCH corresponds to cell 2 (i.e., C2), so that in the case that the 1 PUCCH and the 1 PUSCH overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission apparatus can multiplex the first UCI (i.e., the UCI carried on the low-priority PUCCH) to the target uplink channel (i.e., the low-priority PUSCH), and transmit the multiplexed low-priority PUSCH.

[0085] In case 2, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (such as 2), and Y is a positive integer (such as 1), the 2 PUCCHs include a low-priority PUCCH and a high-priority PUCCH, the 1 PUSCH includes a low-priority PUSCH, the 2 PUCCHs correspond to C1, and the 1 PUSCH corresponds to C2, so that in the case that the 2 PUCCHs and the 1 PUSCH overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission device can multiplex the first UCI (i.e., the UCI carried on the low-priority PUCCH) to the target uplink channel (i.e., the high-priority PUCCH), cancel transmission of the low-priority PUSCH, and transmit the multiplexed high-priority PUCCH.

[0086] In case 3, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (such as 2), and Y is a positive integer (such as 1), the 2 PUCCHs include a low-priority PUCCH and a high-priority PUCCH, the 1 PUSCH includes a high-priority PUSCH, the 2 PUCCHs correspond to C1, and the 1 PUSCH corresponds to C2, so that in the case that the 2 PUCCHs and the 1 PUSCH overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission device can multiplex the first UCI (i.e., the UCI carried on the low-priority PUCCH and the UCI carried on the high-priority PUCCH) to the target uplink channel (i.e., the high-priority PUSCH), and transmit the multiplexed high-priority PUSCH.

[0087] In case 4, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (such as 2), and Y is a positive integer (such as 2), the 2 PUCCHs include a low-priority PUCCH and a high-priority PUCCH, the 2 PUSCHs include a low-priority PUSCH and a high-priority PUSCH, the 2 PUCCHs correspond to C1, the low-priority PUSCH of the 2 PUSCHs corresponds to C2, and the high-priority PUSCH of the 2 PUSCHs corresponds to C3, so that in the case that the 2 PUCCHs and the 2 PUSCHs overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission device can multiplex the first UCI (i.e., the UCI carried on the low-priority PUCCH and the UCI carried on the high-priority PUCCH) to the target uplink channel (i.e., the high-priority PUSCH), transmit the low-priority PUSCH, and transmit the multiplexed high-priority PUSCH.

[0088] Optionally, in another possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the target multiplexing manner is that PUCCHs and PUSCHs of different priorities are allowed to be multiplexed; the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs; and the first UCI includes X PUCCHs carrying the same type of UCI.

[0089] In the case where Y is a positive integer, the target uplink channel is a high-priority PUSCH or a low-priority PUSCH in the Y PUSCHs.

[0090] The following will be described in two different scenarios, and how the UCI transmission apparatus multiplexes the first UCI to the target uplink channel in the case where the target multiplexing manner is that PUCCHs and PUSCHs of different priorities are allowed to be multiplexed.

[0091] For a single-CC scenario

[0092] Table 3 shows that in the single-CC scenario, the UCI transmission apparatus multiplexes different UCIs to different uplink channels according to the priorities of different uplink channels and the channel types of different uplink channels.

[0093] Table 3

[0094]

[0095] As shown in Table 3, in case 1, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (i.e., 2), and Y is a positive integer (i.e., 1), the 2 PUCCHs include a low-priority PUCCH and a high-priority PUCCH, and the 1 PUSCH includes a low-priority PUSCH, so that in the case where the 2 PUCCHs and the 1 PUSCH overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission apparatus can multiplex the first UCI (i.e., the UCI carried on the low-priority PUCCH and the UCI carried on the high-priority PUCCH) to the target uplink channel (i.e., the low-priority PUSCH), and transmit the multiplexed low-priority PUSCH.

[0096] In case 2, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (e.g., 2), and Y is a positive integer (e.g., 1), the 2 PUCCHs include a low-priority PUCCH and a high-priority PUCCH, and the 1 PUSCH includes a high-priority PUSCH, so that in the case that the 2 PUCCHs and the 1 PUSCH overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission apparatus can multiplex the first UCI (i.e., the UCI carried on the low-priority PUCCH and the UCI carried on the high-priority PUCCH) to the target uplink channel (i.e., the high-priority PUSCH), and transmit the multiplexed high-priority PUSCH.

[0097] In case 3, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (e.g., 2), and Y is a positive integer (e.g., 2), the 2 PUCCHs include a low-priority PUCCH and a high-priority PUCCH, and the 2 PUSCHs include a low-priority PUSCH and a high-priority PUSCH, so that in the case that the 2 PUCCHs and the 2 PUSCHs overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission apparatus can multiplex the first UCI (i.e., the UCI carried on the low-priority PUCCH and the UCI carried on the high-priority PUCCH) to the target uplink channel (i.e., the high-priority PUSCH), and cancel transmission of the low-priority PUSCH, and transmit the multiplexed high-priority PUSCH.

[0098] For multi-CC scenarios

[0099] Table 4 shows that in a multi-CC (e.g., dual-carrier) scenario, the UCI transmission apparatus multiplexes different UCIs to different uplink channels according to the priorities of different uplink channels and the channel types of different uplink channels.

[0100] Table 4

[0101]

[0102]

[0103] As shown in Table 4, under case 1, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (i.e. 1), and Y is a positive integer (i.e. 1), the 1 PUCCH includes a low-priority PUCCH, the 1 PUSCH includes a low-priority PUSCH, the 1 PUCCH corresponds to cell 1 (i.e. C1), and the 1 PUSCH corresponds to cell 2 (i.e. C2), so that in the case that the 1 PUCCH and the 1 PUSCH overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission apparatus can multiplex the first UCI (i.e. the UCI carried on the low-priority PUCCH) to the target uplink channel (i.e. the low-priority PUSCH), and transmit the multiplexed low-priority PUSCH.

[0104] Under case 2, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (e.g. 1), and Y is a positive integer (e.g. 1), the 1 PUCCH includes a low-priority PUCCH, the 1 PUSCH includes a high-priority PUSCH, the 1 PUCCH corresponds to cell 1 (i.e. C1), and the 1 PUSCH corresponds to cell 2 (i.e. C2), so that in the case that the 1 PUCCH and the 1 PUSCH overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission apparatus can multiplex the first UCI (i.e. the UCI carried on the low-priority PUCCH) to the target uplink channel (i.e. the high-priority PUSCH), and transmit the multiplexed high-priority PUSCH.

[0105] Under case 3, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (e.g. 2), and Y is a positive integer (e.g. 1), the 2 PUCCHs include a low-priority PUCCH and a high-priority PUCCH, the 1 PUSCH includes a low-priority PUSCH, the 2 PUCCHs correspond to C1, and the 1 PUSCH corresponds to C2, so that in the case that the 2 PUCCHs and the 1 PUSCH overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission apparatus can multiplex the first UCI (i.e. the UCI carried on the low-priority PUCCH and the UCI carried on the high-priority PUCCH) to the target uplink channel (i.e. the low-priority PUSCH), and transmit the multiplexed low-priority PUSCH.

[0106] In case 4, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (such as 2), and Y is a positive integer (such as 1), the 2 PUCCHs include a low-priority PUCCH and a high-priority PUCCH, the 1 PUSCH includes a high-priority PUSCH, the 2 PUCCHs correspond to C1, and the 1 PUSCH corresponds to C2, so that in the case that the 2 PUCCHs and the 1 PUSCH overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission apparatus can multiplex first UCI (UCI carried on the low-priority PUCCH and UCI carried on the high-priority PUCCH) to a target uplink channel (the high-priority PUSCH), and transmit the multiplexed high-priority PUSCH.

[0107] In case 5, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (such as 2), and Y is a positive integer (such as 2), the 2 PUCCHs include a low-priority PUCCH and a high-priority PUCCH, the 2 PUSCHs include a low-priority PUSCH and a high-priority PUSCH, the 2 PUCCHs correspond to C1, the low-priority PUSCH of the 2 PUSCHs corresponds to C2, and the high-priority PUSCH of the 2 PUSCHs corresponds to C3, so that in the case that the 2 PUCCHs and the 2 PUSCHs overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission apparatus can multiplex first UCI (UCI carried on the low-priority PUCCH and UCI carried on the high-priority PUCCH) to a target uplink channel (the high-priority PUSCH), transmit the low-priority PUSCH, and transmit the multiplexed high-priority PUSCH.

[0108] It can be understood that if there are a high-priority PUSCH and a low-priority PUSCH at the same time, the UCI transmission apparatus can preferentially multiplex first UCI to the high-priority PUSCH.

[0109] Optionally, in another possible implementation manner of the embodiment, the target multiplexing manner includes: allowing PUCCHs of different priorities to be multiplexed, and allowing PUCCHs of different priorities to be multiplexed with PUSCHs; the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs; and the first UCI includes UCI of the same type carried on the X PUCCHs.

[0110] In the case that X is a positive integer and Y is 0, the target uplink channel is a high-priority PUCCH of the X PUCCHs.

[0111] In the case where X is a positive integer and Y is a positive integer, if the X PUCCHs include low-priority PUCCHs and high-priority PUCCHs, and the Y PUSCHs include high-priority PUSCHs, the target uplink channel is the high-priority PUSCH.

[0112] In the case where X is a positive integer and Y is a positive integer, if the X PUCCHs include low-priority PUCCHs and high-priority PUCCHs, and the Y PUSCHs include only low-priority PUSCHs, the target uplink channel is the low-priority PUSCH.

[0113] The following will be described in two different scenarios, specifically, how the UCI transmission device multiplexes the first UCI onto the target uplink channel in the case where the target multiplexing manner is to allow multiplexing of PUCCHs of different priorities, and to allow multiplexing of PUCCHs of different priorities and PUSCHs.

[0114] For a single-CC scenario

[0115] Table 5 shows that, in the single-CC scenario, the UCI transmission device multiplexes different UCIs onto different uplink channels according to the priorities of different uplink channels and the channel types of different uplink channels.

[0116] Table 5

[0117]

[0118] As shown in Table 5, in case 1, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (i.e., 2), and Y is 0, the 2 PUCCHs include low-priority PUCCHs and high-priority PUCCHs, so that in the case where the 2 PUCCHs overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission device can multiplex the first UCI (i.e., the UCI carried on the low-priority PUCCH) onto the target uplink channel (i.e., the high-priority PUCCH) and transmit the multiplexed high-priority PUCCH.

[0119] In case 2, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (such as 2), and Y is a positive integer (such as 1), the 2 PUCCHs include low-priority PUCCHs and high-priority PUCCHs, and the 1 PUSCH includes low-priority PUSCHs, so that in the case where the 2 PUCCHs and the 1 PUSCH overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission device can multiplex the first UCI (i.e., the UCI carried on the low-priority PUCCH and the UCI carried on the high-priority PUCCH) onto the target uplink channel (i.e., the low-priority PUSCH) and transmit the multiplexed low-priority PUSCH.

[0120] In case 3, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (e.g. 2), and Y is a positive integer (e.g. 1), the 2 PUCCHs include a low priority PUCCH and a high priority PUCCH, and the 1 PUSCH includes a high priority PUSCH, so that in the case that the 2 PUCCHs and the 1 PUSCH overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission apparatus can multiplex the first UCI (i.e. the UCI carried on the low priority PUCCH and the UCI carried on the high priority PUCCH) onto the target uplink channel (i.e. the high priority PUSCH), and transmit the multiplexed high priority PUSCH.

[0121] In case 4, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (e.g. 2), and Y is a positive integer (e.g. 2), the 2 PUCCHs include a low priority PUCCH and a high priority PUCCH, and the 2 PUSCHs include a low priority PUSCH and a high priority PUSCH, so that in the case that the 2 PUCCHs and the 2 PUSCHs overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission apparatus can multiplex the first UCI (i.e. the UCI carried on the low priority PUCCH and the UCI carried on the high priority PUCCH) onto the target uplink channel (i.e. the high priority PUSCH), and cancel transmission of the low priority PUSCH, and transmit the multiplexed high priority PUSCH.

[0122] It can be understood that if there is a high priority PUSCH and a low priority PUSCH at the same time, the UCI transmission apparatus can preferentially multiplex the first UCI onto the high priority PUSCH.

[0123] For multi-CC scenario

[0124] Table 6 shows that in a multi-CC (e.g. dual carrier) scenario, the UCI transmission apparatus multiplexes different UCIs onto different uplink channels according to the priority of different uplink channels and the channel type of different uplink channels.

[0125] Table 6

[0126]

[0127]

[0128] As shown in Table 6, under case 1, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (i.e. 1), and Y is a positive integer (i.e. 1), the 1 PUCCH includes a low-priority PUCCH, the 1 PUSCH includes a low-priority PUSCH, the 1 PUCCH corresponds to cell 1 (i.e. C1), and the 1 PUSCH corresponds to cell 2 (i.e. C2), so that in the case that the 1 PUCCH and the 1 PUSCH overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission apparatus can multiplex the first UCI (i.e. the UCI carried on the low-priority PUCCH) to the target uplink channel (i.e. the low-priority PUSCH), and transmit the multiplexed low-priority PUSCH.

[0129] Under case 2, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (e.g. 1), and Y is a positive integer (e.g. 1), the 1 PUCCH includes a low-priority PUCCH, the 1 PUSCH includes a high-priority PUSCH, the 1 PUCCH corresponds to cell 1 (i.e. C1), and the 1 PUSCH corresponds to cell 2 (i.e. C2), so that in the case that the 1 PUCCH and the 1 PUSCH overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission apparatus can multiplex the first UCI (i.e. the UCI carried on the low-priority PUCCH) to the target uplink channel (i.e. the high-priority PUSCH), and transmit the multiplexed high-priority PUSCH.

[0130] Under case 3, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (e.g. 2), and Y is a positive integer (e.g. 1), the 2 PUCCHs include a low-priority PUCCH and a high-priority PUCCH, the 1 PUSCH includes a low-priority PUSCH, the 2 PUCCHs correspond to C1, and the 1 PUSCH corresponds to C2, so that in the case that the 2 PUCCHs and the 1 PUSCH overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission apparatus can multiplex the first UCI (i.e. the UCI carried on the low-priority PUCCH, and the UCI carried on the high-priority PUCCH) to the target uplink channel (i.e. the low-priority PUSCH), and transmit the multiplexed low-priority PUSCH.

[0131] In case 4, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (e.g., 2), and Y is a positive integer (e.g., 1), the 2 PUCCHs include a low-priority PUCCH and a high-priority PUCCH, the 1 PUSCH includes a high-priority PUSCH, the 2 PUCCHs correspond to C1, and the 1 PUSCH corresponds to C2, so that in the case that the 2 PUCCHs and the 1 PUSCH overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission device can multiplex the first UCI (i.e., the UCI carried on the low-priority PUCCH and the UCI carried on the high-priority PUCCH) to the target uplink channel (i.e., the high-priority PUSCH), and transmit the multiplexed high-priority PUSCH.

[0132] In case 5, the N uplink channels include X PUCCHs and Y PUSCHs, X is a positive integer (e.g., 2), and Y is a positive integer (e.g., 2), the 2 PUCCHs include a low-priority PUCCH and a high-priority PUCCH, the 2 PUSCHs include a low-priority PUSCH and a high-priority PUSCH, the 2 PUCCHs correspond to C1, the low-priority PUSCH of the 2 PUSCHs corresponds to C2, and the high-priority PUSCH of the 2 PUSCHs corresponds to C3, so that in the case that the 2 PUCCHs and the 2 PUSCHs overlap in time domain resources, the UCI transmission device can multiplex the first UCI (i.e., the UCI carried on the low-priority PUCCH and the UCI carried on the high-priority PUCCH) to the target uplink channel (i.e., the high-priority PUSCH), transmit the low-priority PUSCH, and transmit the multiplexed high-priority PUSCH.

[0133] It can be understood that if there are a high-priority PUSCH and a low-priority PUSCH at the same time, the UCI transmission device can preferentially multiplex the first UCI to the high-priority PUSCH.

[0134] Step 102a, the UCI transmission device transmits M UCI through a target uplink channel in the N uplink channels.

[0135] It can be understood that the M UCI includes: the first UCI, and / or the UCI carried on the target uplink channel.

[0136] Therefore, in the case that the N uplink channels include PUCCH, the UCI transmission device can multiplex the same type of UCI in the M UCI to the target uplink channel in a manner that allows multiplexing of PUCCHs of different priorities (and / or multiplexing of PUCCHs of different priorities with PUSCH), without canceling transmission of UCI of a certain service, so that the transmission of high-priority services can be ensured while reducing the impact on low-priority services, thereby improving the reliability of the UCI transmission device.

[0137] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the first UCI includes: a first HARQ-ACK carried on a high-priority uplink channel, a second HARQ-ACK carried on a low-priority uplink channel, and a first part of channel state information (CSI-part 1) carried on a low-priority uplink channel; and the target uplink channel is a low-priority PUSCH. Specifically, the step 201 can be implemented by the following step 201a.

[0138] Step 201a, in the case that the N uplink channels overlap in time domain resources, in the case that the N uplink channels include PUCCH, the UCI transmission device adopts a target multiplexing manner, and in the case that a first condition is met, the UCI transmission device maps and processes the first HARQ-ACK according to a default mapping rule, and maps and processes the second HARQ-ACK based on the CSI-part 1 according to a first rule.

[0139] Further optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the first condition can be that the first HARQ-ACK is greater than 2 bits (bit) and the second HARQ-ACK is greater than 2 bits.

[0140] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the first UCI further includes: a second part of channel state information (CSI-part 2) carried on a low-priority uplink channel.

[0141] The first rule includes any of the following:

[0142] Discarding the CSI-part 2 and mapping and processing the second HARQ-ACK according to the mapping manner of the CSI-part 2;

[0143] Discarding the CSI-part 1 and the CSI-part 2 and mapping and processing the second HARQ-ACK according to the mapping manner of the CSI-part 1;

[0144] Mapping and processing the second HARQ-ACK and the CSI-part 1, and then mapping and processing the CSI-part 2;

[0145] discard CSI-part 2, and map the second HARQ-ACK according to the mapping manner of CSI-part 2;

[0146] map the second HARQ-ACK according to the default mapping rule on the RE adjacent to the RE occupied by the first HARQ-ACK.

[0147] Further, in the case that the first rule includes: discarding CSI-part 2, and mapping the second HARQ-ACK according to the mapping manner of CSI-part 2, the UCI transmission device can first discard CSI-part 2, and map the first HARQ-ACK with high priority according to the formula and mapping rule of HARQ-ACK in the related art, and map the second HARQ-ACK with low priority according to the manner of CSI-part 2 to calculate the corresponding RE, rate match and map the RE.

[0148] Further, in the case that the first rule includes: discarding CSI-part 1 and CSI-part 2, and mapping the second HARQ-ACK according to the mapping manner of CSI-part 1, the UCI transmission device can first discard CSI-part 1 and CSI-part 2, and then map the first HARQ-ACK with high priority according to the formula and mapping rule of HARQ-ACK in the related art, and map the second HARQ-ACK with low priority according to the manner of CSI-part 1 to calculate the corresponding RE, rate match and map the RE.

[0149] Further, in the case that the first rule includes: discarding CSI-part 1 and CSI-part 2, and mapping the second HARQ-ACK according to the mapping manner of CSI-part 1, the UCI transmission device can first discard CSI-part 1 and CSI-part 2, and then map the first HARQ-ACK with high priority according to the formula and mapping rule of HARQ-ACK in the related art, and map the second HARQ-ACK with low priority according to the manner of CSI-part 1 to calculate the corresponding RE, rate match and map the RE.

[0150] Further optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, in the case that the first rule includes: discarding CSI-part 2, and mapping the second HARQ-ACK according to the mapping mode of CSI-part 1, and mapping CSI-part 1 according to the mapping mode of CSI-part 2, the UCI transmission device can first discard CSI-part 2, then map the first HARQ-ACK of high priority according to the formula and mapping rule of HARQ-ACK in the related art, and calculate the corresponding RE of CSI-part 1 according to the mapping mode of CSI-part 1, and perform rate matching and RE mapping, and then calculate the corresponding RE of CSI-part 2 according to the mapping mode of CSI-part 2, and perform rate matching and RE mapping.

[0151] Further optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, in the case that the first rule includes: mapping the second HARQ-ACK according to the default mapping rule on the RE adjacent to the RE occupied by the first HARQ-ACK, the UCI transmission device first maps the first HARQ-ACK of high priority according to the formula and mapping rule of HARQ-ACK in the related art, and then maps the second HARQ-ACK of low priority by excluding the RE where the first HARQ-ACK of high priority is located, and then mapping and RE mapping in the adjacent resource of the first HARQ-ACK of high priority according to the mode in the related art.

[0152] Therefore, it can be known that, since the UCI transmission device can map different UCIs according to different rules when the first UCI includes different UCI types, the reliability of the service of the UCI transmission device can be improved.

[0153] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the above step 201a can be replaced by the following step 201b.

[0154] Step 201b, in the case that the N uplink channels overlap in the time domain resource, the UCI transmission device includes PUCCH in the N uplink channels, adopts a target multiplexing mode, and in the case that the second condition is met, the UCI transmission device adjusts the puncture formula to Abit, and maps the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK according to the adjusted puncture formula.

[0155] In the embodiments of the present application, part of the bits in the Abit are used for mapping processing of the first HARQ-ACK, and part of the bits are used for mapping processing of the second HARQ-ACK. For example, the first T bits in the Abit are used for mapping processing of the first HARQ-ACK, and the last P bits are used for mapping processing of the second HARQ-ACK, where A, T and P are positive integers. For example, in the case that N uplink channels overlap in the time domain, and the UCI transmission device includes PUCCH in the N uplink channels, a target multiplexing manner is adopted, and in the case that the second condition is met, the UCI transmission device adjusts the puncture formula to 4 bits, and maps the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK according to the adjusted puncture formula, where the first 2 bits of the 4 bits are used for mapping processing of the first HARQ-ACK, and the last 2 bits are used for mapping processing of the second HARQ-ACK.

[0156] Further optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the second condition can be that the first HARQ-ACK is less than or equal to 2 bits, and the second HARQ-ACK is less than or equal to 2 bits.

[0157] Further optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, A can be specifically 4, that is, A bits are 4 bits; and T can be specifically 2, that is, the first T bits are the first two bits, and the last P bits are the last two bits.

[0158] In the embodiments of the present application, when the first HARQ-ACK of high priority is less than or equal to 2 bits, and the second HARQ-ACK of low priority is less than or equal to 2 bits, the UCI transmission device can change the puncture formula in the related art to 4 bits; where the first 2 bits are used for the first HARQ-ACK, and the last 2 bits are used for the second HARQ-ACK.

[0159] Therefore, the reliability of the service of the UCI transmission device can be improved, because the UCI transmission device can map different UCIs according to different rules when the first UCI includes different UCI types.

[0160] It should be noted that the mapping of UCI of different priorities on PUSCH can be processed according to the following principles.

[0161] Taking the multiplexing of HP A / N (that is, the first HARQ-ACK of high priority) and LP A / N (that is, the second HARQ-ACK of low priority) and LP CSI (that is, the CSI of low priority) to LP PUSCH as an example. The following implementation manners can be used

[0162] Way one: HP A / N is processed according to the existing A / N formula and mapping rules. Discard CSI part 2, LP A / N is calculated according to the corresponding RE of CSI part 2, rate matching and RE mapping.

[0163] Way two: HP A / N is processed according to the existing A / N formula and mapping rules, LP A / N is calculated according to the corresponding RE of CSI part 1, rate matching and RE mapping, discard CSI part 1 and 2

[0166] Way five: first, HP A / N is processed according to the existing A / N way, then excluding the RE of high priority A / N, LP A / N uses the remaining resources adjacent to HP A / N to process and RE map according to the existing way

[0167] Specifically, for HP A / N and LP A / N of different load sizes, the following cases can be handled

[0326] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the processor 110 is configured to, in a case where the N uplink channels include PUCCHs, multiplex the first UCI to the target uplink channel by using a target multiplexing manner.

[0328] As can be seen, in a case where the N uplink channels include PUCCHs, the terminal can multiplex the UCIs of the same type in the M UCIs to the target uplink channel by using a manner of allowing PUCCHs of different priorities to be multiplexed (and / or allowing PUCCHs of different priorities to be multiplexed with PUSCH), without canceling transmission of the UCI of a certain service, and therefore the transmission of high-priority services can be ensured while reducing the impact on low-priority services, and thus the reliability of services of the terminal can be improved.

[0329] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the first UCI includes: a first HARQ-ACK carried on a high-priority uplink channel, a second HARQ-ACK carried on a low-priority uplink channel, and CSI-part 1 carried on the low-priority uplink channel; and the target uplink channel is a low-priority PUSCH.

[0330] The processor 110 is specifically configured to, in a case where the first condition is met, perform mapping processing on the first HARQ-ACK according to a default mapping rule, and perform mapping processing on the second HARQ-ACK based on the CSI-part 1 according to the first rule.

[0331] As can be seen, since the terminal can perform mapping processing on different UCIs according to different rules when the first UCI includes different UCI types, the reliability of the service of the terminal can be improved.

[0332] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the processor 110 is further configured to, in a case where a second condition is met, adjust a puncture formula to A bits, and perform mapping processing on the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK according to the adjusted puncture formula.

[0333] The first T bits of the A bits are used for mapping processing on the first HARQ-ACK, and the last P bits are used for mapping processing on the second HARQ-ACK, where A, T, and P are positive integers.

[0334] As can be seen, since the terminal can perform mapping processing on different UCIs according to different rules when the first UCI includes different UCI types, the reliability of the service of the terminal can be improved.

[0335] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the processor 110 is further configured to, in a case where a third condition is met, cancel transmission of UCI through the first uplink channel.

[0336] As can be seen, since the terminal can cancel transmission of UCI through the first uplink channel in a case where the third condition is met in the case where the N uplink channels include the PUCCH, transmission of high-priority services can be ensured, and thus the experience of users using services can be improved.
