[0096] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, like numbers in different figures represent like or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all possible embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present invention, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0097] In the existing technology, NR supports multiple PUCCH formats, among which PUCCH format 1 carries up to 2 bits of HARQ-ACK feedback information and can also carry SR information.

[0098] PUCCH format 1 occupies 4 to 14 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in the time domain and 12 subcarriers of a resource block in the frequency domain. When the HARQ-ACK feedback information carried by PUCCH format 1 is 1 bit b(0), b(0) is modulated using binary phase shift keying (BPSK) to generate the modulated symbol d(0); when the HARQ-ACK feedback information carried by PUCCH format 1 is 2 bits b(1)b(0), b(1)b(0) is modulated using quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) to generate the modulated symbol d(0). If the HARQ-ACK is ACK, the corresponding bit is set to 1; if the HARQ-ACK is NACK, the corresponding bit is set to 0. The modulated symbol d(0) is compared with the sequence Multiplying together gives a sequence of length 12: is 12. The sequence is through the base sequence The result of cyclic shift of α is base sequence is a predefined value. The base sequence is divided into groups, u∈{0, 1, ..., 29} is the group number, and v is the sequence number in the group.

[0099] The cyclic shift α of the base sequence is calculated as: Where m0 is the initial cyclic shift, which can be configured through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling. cs Fixed to 0. If PUCCH uses interlaced mapping, is the resource block number in the interleaver; otherwise, m int =0. is the slot number within the radio frame. l is the OFDM symbol index relative to the start symbol of the PUCCH transmission, where l = 0 corresponds to the first OFDM symbol of the PUCCH transmission. l′ is the OFDM symbol index within the slot corresponding to the first OFDM symbol of the PUCCH transmission. c(i) is a predefined pseudo-random sequence, is the number of symbols contained in a time slot.

[0100] sequence Using a pre-defined orthogonal sequence w i (m) is spread spectrum, and the obtained sequence z() is mapped to the physical resources. is a predefined spreading factor.

[0101]

[0102]

[0103]

[0104]

[0105] The base station configures the PUCCH resources for transmitting SR and HARQ-ACK through RRC signaling. When the user equipment (UE) has uplink data to send, it sends SR information on the PUCCH resources used for SR to request scheduling, which is called Positive SR. When the UE does not need to request scheduling, it does not send SR information, which is called Negative SR.

[0106] When only Positive SR is transmitted using PUCCH format 1, bit b(0) = 0. When the HARQ-ACK and SR transmission times overlap and both use PUCCH format 1: When the UE wants to use PUCCH format 1 to send Positive SR and up to 2 bits of HARQ-ACK in the same time slot, the UE uses the PUCCH resources configured for SR transmission to send HARQ-ACK; when the UE wants to use PUCCH format 1 to send Negative SR and up to 2 bits of HARQ-ACK in the same time slot, the UE uses the PUCCH resources configured for HARQ-ACK transmission to send HARQ-ACK.

[0107] Problems with existing technologies:

[0108] NR supports three major application scenarios: Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC), and Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC). Services in different application scenarios have different requirements for data transmission. For example, URLLC services usually require extremely low transmission latency and extremely high transmission reliability, so different transmission priorities can be defined. NR Release 16 defines two types of UCI priorities, one for eMBB services and the other for URLLC services. When the transmission times of UCIs of different priorities overlap, the high-priority UCI is transmitted first, and the low-priority UCI is not transmitted. In order to reduce the impact of the non-transmission of low-priority UCI on the transmission of low-priority services, NR Release 17 considers the simultaneous transmission (multiplexing) of UCIs with different priorities. Among them, how to use PUCCH format 1 to transmit multiplexed UCIs of different priorities is one of the issues to be considered.

[0109] Figure 1 The mapping basis and constellation diagram of bits to modulation symbols in the prior art are shown.

[0110] When the UCI to be multiplexed on PUCCH format 1 includes 1 bit of high priority HARQ-ACK and 1 bit of low priority HARQ-ACK, if the 2 bits are modulated by QPSK to obtain d(0) in the existing way of transmitting 2 bits of HARQ-ACK with the same priority, if the bit of high priority HARQ-ACK is taken as b(1) and the bit of low priority HARQ-ACK is taken as b(0), the mapping of bits to modulation symbols is based on The constellation map is as attached Figure 1 Left figure. Since the transmission reliability requirements of low-priority services are relatively low, if the UE loses the downlink control information (DCI) that schedules the low-priority PDSCH, the UE will not feedback the 1-bit low-priority HARQ-ACK. The UE will BPSK modulate the 1-bit high-priority HARQ-ACK to obtain d(0). The mapping of bits to modulation symbols is based on The constellation map is as attached Figure 1 Right: If the 1-bit high-priority HARQ-ACK is ACK, the base station will interpret the received bit as 11 and mistakenly believe that the UE has correctly received the low-priority PDSCH and fed back an ACK. This will cause the unsent low-priority HARQ-ACK feedback to be incorrectly detected as an ACK (Discontinuous Transmission, DTX)-to-ACK), resulting in the loss of low-priority data.

[0111] When the UCI to be transmitted includes a low-priority HARQ-ACK and a high-priority SR, if PUCCH format 1 is used for transmission according to the existing transmission method of HARQ-ACK and SR of the same priority, if PositiveSR needs to be transmitted, HARQ-ACK is sent using the PUCCH format 1 resource configured for transmitting SR. That is, the 1-bit HARQ-ACK b(0) is BPSK modulated, or the 2-bit HARQ-ACK b(1)b(0) is QPSK modulated to obtain the modulation symbol d(0). Case 1: If the 1-bit or 2-bit HARQ-ACK feedback is NACK, the bit position b(0) = 0 or b(1)b(0) = 00. Case 2: If the UE loses the DCI that schedules the low-priority PDSCH, the UE will not feedback HARQ-ACK, but will use the PUCCH format 1 resource configured for transmitting SR to send only SR, b(0) = 0. Since the constellation position of the modulation symbols is the same in these two cases, the base station cannot distinguish whether all HARQ-ACK feedbacks are NACKs or whether the UE did not provide HARQ-ACK feedback due to missing the DCI that scheduled the low-priority PDSCH, resulting in the detection of the unsent low-priority HARQ-ACK feedback as a NACK (DTX-to-NACK) error. However, the base station's distinction between DTX and NACK helps determine whether the UE can correctly decode the downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH), thereby adjusting the resources used by the PDCCH based on whether the PDCCH is decoded correctly, such as increasing or decreasing the PDCCH aggregation level.

[0120] In one embodiment, the bit of the second HARQ feedback information is recorded as b(1), and the bit of the first HARQ feedback information is recorded as b(0). When b(1)b(0) is 00, the modulation symbol modulated by QPSK is the same as the modulation symbol modulated by BPSK when only the first HARQ feedback information is sent and the first HARQ feedback information is NACK. When b(1)b(0) is 01, the modulation symbol modulated by QPSK is the same as the modulation symbol modulated by BPSK when only the first HARQ feedback information is sent and the first HARQ feedback information is ACK.

[0121] Use b(1)b(0) Modulate, or use b(1)b(0) Modulation is performed, wherein i=0 in the formula and j is an imaginary unit.

[0122] In the solution of the present disclosure, when the UCI multiplexed and transmitted on PUCCH format 1 includes 1 bit of high priority HARQ-ACK and 1 bit of low priority HARQ-ACK, the mapping of bits to modulation symbols during QPSK modulation satisfies: the modulation symbol (constellation point) when the 1-bit low priority HARQ-ACK is NACK is the same as the modulation symbol (constellation point) when only 1 bit of HARQ-ACK is transmitted. Specific implementation methods include the following:

[0123] Figure 3 The mapping basis and constellation diagram of bits to modulation symbols according to one embodiment of the present disclosure are shown.

[0124] Method 1: The high-priority HARQ-ACK bit is set as b(1), and the low-priority HARQ-ACK bit is set as b(0). A QPSK modulation symbol with b(1)b(0) equal to 00 is the same as a BPSK modulation symbol that transmits only a 1-bit NACK. A QPSK modulation symbol with b(1)b(0) equal to 10 is the same as a BPSK modulation symbol that transmits only a 1-bit ACK.

[0125] The mapping of bits to modulation symbols is based on The constellation diagram for QPSK modulation of 2-bit HARQ-ACK is shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 Left picture.

[0126] Alternatively, the mapping of bits to modulation symbols is based on The constellation diagram for QPSK modulation of 2-bit HARQ-ACK is shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 Right picture.

[0127] Figure 4 The mapping basis and constellation diagram of bits to modulation symbols according to one embodiment of the present disclosure are shown.

[0128] Method 2: The low-priority HARQ-ACK bit is set as b(1), and the high-priority HARQ-ACK bit is set as b(0). A QPSK modulation symbol with b(1)b(0) equal to 00 is the same as a BPSK modulation symbol that transmits only a 1-bit NACK. A QPSK modulation symbol with b(1)b(0) equal to 01 is the same as a BPSK modulation symbol that transmits only a 1-bit ACK.

[0129] The mapping of bits to modulation symbols is based on The constellation diagram for QPSK modulation of 2-bit HARQ-ACK is shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 Left picture.

[0130] Alternatively, the mapping of bits to modulation symbols is based on The constellation diagram for QPSK modulation of 2-bit HARQ-ACK is shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 Right picture.

[0131] In the above manner, if the UE loses the DCI that schedules the low-priority PDSCH and the 1-bit high-priority HARQ-ACK is ACK, the base station will consider that the UE has fed back NACK for the low-priority PDSCH, so that the low-priority PDSCH can be retransmitted, avoiding the loss of low-priority data.

[0132] Figure 5 This is a flow chart of a method for sending uplink control information shown in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. This embodiment is described from the UE side. Figure 5 As shown, the uplink control information sending method includes:

[0133] Send HARQ feedback information and SR information to the base station simultaneously through PUCCH;

[0134] The HARQ feedback information includes low-priority HARQ feedback information, and the SR information is high-priority information;

[0135] When the SR information is a scheduling request, the PUCCH resource configured for transmitting the SR information is used, and the sequence multiplied by the modulation symbol of the HARQ feedback information is a sequence after a first cyclic shift, and the first cyclic shift is different from the second cyclic shift used when only the SR information is sent.

[0136] In one embodiment, the first cyclic shift is different from the second cyclic shift used when only the SR information is sent, including:

[0137] Parameter m for calculating the first cyclic shift cs =N, where N is an integer not equal to zero, used to calculate the parameter m of the second cyclic shift cs =0.

[0138] In one embodiment, when the SR information indicates that scheduling is not requested, the method further includes:

[0139] using a PUCCH resource configured for transmitting the HARQ feedback information; or

[0140] Using the PUCCH resource configured for transmitting the SR information, wherein the parameter m used to calculate the first cyclic shift cs =M, where M is an integer not equal to zero and not equal to N.

[0141] In one embodiment, the method further comprises:

[0142] N is equal to 6; or

[0143] N and M are two different values ​​of 3, 6, and 9 respectively.

[0144] When the UCI to be transmitted includes HARQ-ACK and a high-priority SR, and PUCCH format 1 is used for transmission, the following methods can be used in the solution of the present invention. The HARQ-ACK includes a low-priority HARQ-ACK. This can be a low-priority HARQ-ACK of up to 2 bits, or a 1-bit low-priority HARQ-ACK and a 1-bit high-priority HARQ-ACK.

[0145] Method 1: When a Positive SR needs to be transmitted, i.e., scheduling is requested, the PUCCH format 1 resource configured for SR transmission is used to multiplex the SR and a maximum of 2 bits of HARQ-ACK. The 1-bit HARQ-ACK b(0) is BPSK modulated, or the 2-bit HARQ-ACK b(1)b(0) is QPSK modulated to obtain the modulation symbol d(0). The mapping of QPSK modulation bits to modulation symbols can be achieved using the attached Figure 1 The prior art method shown in the figure can also be used in the present invention. Figure 3 or Figure 4 The method used to calculate the first cyclic shift α is m cs Not 0. For example, m cs = 6. When Negative SR needs to be transmitted, that is, when no scheduling is requested, a maximum of 2 bits of HARQ-ACK is transmitted using the PUCCH resources configured for HARQ-ACK transmission.

[0146] Method 2: BPSK modulate the 1-bit HARQ-ACK b(0), or QPSK modulate the 2-bit HARQ-ACK b(1)b(0) to obtain the modulation symbol d(0). The mapping of QPSK modulation bits to modulation symbols can be done using the following method: Figure 1 The prior art method shown in the figure can also be used in the present invention. Figure 3 or Figure 4 The PUCCH resource used is the PUCCH resource configured for SR transmission. The m used to calculate the first cyclic shift α cs Not 0. When Positive SR or Negative SR needs to be transmitted, different m cs In one embodiment, when a Positive SR or a Negative SR needs to be transmitted, the m cs are two different values ​​among 3, 6, and 9. For example, Positive SR uses m cs =3, Negative SR uses m cs =6.

[0147] When only SR information is transmitted using SR PUCCH format 1 resources, m is used to calculate the second cyclic shift α. cs In the above method, m is used cs The method for calculating the first cyclic shift or the second cyclic shift is, for example, the same as that in the prior art.

[0148] In the above manner, when the PUCCH format 1 resource of the SR is used to multiplex the transmission of HARQ-ACK and SR, the cyclic shift used is different from the cyclic shift used when only the SR is transmitted. Thus, the base station can distinguish whether the PUCCH format 1 resource of the SR carries HARQ-ACK feedback, and determine whether the UE has lost the DCI of the corresponding scheduled PDSCH, thereby adjusting the resources used by the PDCCH according to whether the PDCCH decoding is correct.

[0149] Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the following advantages and effects:

[0150] When the UCI multiplexed and transmitted on PUCCH format 1 includes low-priority HARQ-ACK and high-priority UCI, the problem of the base station detecting DTX-to-ACK and DTX-to-NACK of PUCCH when the UE loses the DCI of the PDSCH corresponding to the HARQ-ACK is avoided. Specifically:

[0151] When the UCI multiplexed and transmitted on PUCCH format 1 includes 1-bit high-priority HARQ-ACK and 1-bit low-priority HARQ-ACK, when QPSK modulation is performed, the modulation symbol (constellation point) of the 1-bit low-priority HARQ-ACK as NACK is the same as the modulation symbol (constellation point) when only 1-bit HARQ-ACK is transmitted. Therefore, if the UE loses the DCI scheduling the low-priority PDSCH, the base station will believe that the UE has fed back NACK for the low-priority PDSCH, so that the low-priority PDSCH can be retransmitted, avoiding the loss of low-priority data.

[0152] When the UCI multiplexed and transmitted on PUCCH format 1 includes low-priority HARQ-ACK and high-priority SR, m used to calculate the cyclic shift α is cs This is different from the existing value of 0. This allows the base station to distinguish whether the PUCCH format 1 resource configured for SR transmission carries HARQ-ACK feedback, determine whether the UE has lost the DCI for the corresponding scheduled PDSCH, and adjust the resources used by the PDCCH based on whether the PDCCH is decoded correctly.
