The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, and should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure.

[0078] Among them, in the time slot determination method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can determine the delay counting method corresponding to the HARQ-ACK information, wherein the delay counting method may include: determining the valid feedback time slot within K1def consecutive time slots after the feedback time slot K1 of the HARQ-ACK information indicated by the base station; K1def is the time slot offset value indicated by the base station; and then determining the latest feedback time slot for delaying the HARQ-ACK information based on the delay counting method. It can be seen that the embodiment of the present disclosure specifically provides a method for determining the latest feedback time slot for delaying the HARQ-ACK information based on the delay counting method.

[0079] The time slot determination method, apparatus, user equipment, base station, and storage medium provided by the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0080] Figure 1a A flowchart of a time slot determination method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to UE (User Equipment), such as Figure 1a As shown, the time slot determination method may include the following steps:

[0081] Step 101: Determine a delay counting method corresponding to the HARQ-ACK information, where the delay counting method may include: determining a valid feedback time slot within K1def consecutive time slots after the feedback time slot K1 of the HARQ-ACK information indicated by the base station; K1def is the time slot offset value indicated by the base station.

[0082] It should be noted that the indication method of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to any UE. UE can be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to users. UE can communicate with one or more core networks via RAN (Radio Access Network). UE can be an IoT terminal, such as a sensor device, a mobile phone (or a "cellular" phone), and a computer with an IoT terminal. For example, it can be a fixed, portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-built-in, or vehicle-mounted device. For example, a station (STA), a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, an access point, a remote terminal, an access terminal, a user terminal, or a user agent. Alternatively, the UE can also be a device of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Alternatively, the UE can also be a vehicle-mounted device, for example, it can be a driving computer with wireless communication capabilities, or a wireless terminal connected to an external driving computer. Alternatively, the UE may also be a roadside device, for example, a street lamp, a signal lamp, or other roadside device with a wireless communication function.

[0083] Among them, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, specifically, when the UE determines that the feedback time slot K1 of the HARQ-ACK information indicated by the base station is unavailable, a delay counting method corresponding to the HARQ-ACK information is determined.

[0084] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for the UE to determine the delay counting method corresponding to the HARQ-ACK information may include: determining the delay counting method corresponding to the HARQ-ACK information based on a protocol.

[0085] Step 102: Determine the latest feedback time slot for delaying HARQ-ACK information based on a delay counting method.

[0086] Among them, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for determining the latest feedback time slot for delaying HARQ-ACK information based on the delay counting method may include: determining K1def consecutive time slots after the feedback time slot K1 of the HARQ-ACK information indicated by the base station as the latest feedback time slot, and determining a valid feedback time slot between K1 and the latest feedback time slot to transmit the HARQ-ACK information based on the valid feedback time slot.

[0087] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 1b A schematic diagram of a process in which a UE determines a latest feedback time slot for delaying HARQ-ACK information based on a delay counting method is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0088] refer to Figure 1b Assuming that the feedback time slot K1 of the HARQ-ACK information indicated by the base station is 2 and the time slot offset value K1def is 3, the PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) resource indicated at K1 is unavailable. The UE can determine the K1def=3th consecutive time slot immediately after K1 as the latest feedback time slot based on the delay counting method, and determine the valid feedback time slot between K1 and the latest feedback time slot.

[0089] Also, it should be noted that, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, since the delay counting method provided in this embodiment directly determines the effective feedback time slot within K1def consecutive time slots after the feedback time slot K1 indicated by the base station, the distance between the determined latest feedback time slot and the feedback time slot K1 indicated by the base station is closer, thereby reducing the delay in HARQ-ACK information transmission.

[0090] In summary, in the time slot determination method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can determine the delay counting method corresponding to the HARQ-ACK information, wherein the delay counting method may include: determining a valid feedback time slot within K1def consecutive time slots after the feedback time slot K1 of the HARQ-ACK information indicated by the base station; K1def is the time slot offset value indicated by the base station; and then determining the latest feedback time slot for delaying the HARQ-ACK information based on the delay counting method. It can be seen that the embodiment of the present disclosure specifically provides a method for determining the latest feedback time slot for delaying the HARQ-ACK information based on the delay counting method.

[0091] Figure 2a A flowchart of a time slot determination method provided by another embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to a UE, such as Figure 2a As shown, the time slot determination method may include the following steps:

[0092] Step 201: Determine a delay counting method corresponding to the HARQ-ACK information. The delay counting method may include: determining a valid feedback time slot within K1def available time slots after the feedback time slot K1 of the HARQ-ACK information indicated by the base station; K1def is the time slot offset value indicated by the base station.

[0093] Among them, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, specifically, when the UE determines that the feedback time slot K1 of the HARQ-ACK information indicated by the base station is unavailable, a delay counting method corresponding to the HARQ-ACK information is determined.

[0094] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, available time slots include but are not limited to the following:

[0095] Semi-static universally configured uplink timeslot;

[0096] Semi-static dedicated configuration of uplink time slots;

[0097] Special time slots;

[0098] Uplink time slots that do not conflict with other transmissions.

[0099] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for the UE to determine the delay counting method corresponding to the HARQ-ACK information may include: determining the delay counting method corresponding to the HARQ-ACK information based on a protocol.

[0100] Step 202: Determine the latest feedback time slot for delaying HARQ-ACK information based on a delay counting method.

[0101] Among them, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for determining the latest feedback time slot for delaying HARQ-ACK information based on the delay counting method may include: determining K1def available time slots after the feedback time slot K1 of the HARQ-ACK information indicated by the base station as the latest feedback time slot, and determining a valid feedback time slot between K1 and the latest feedback time slot to transmit the HARQ-ACK information based on the valid feedback time slot.

[0102] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2b A schematic diagram of a process in which a UE determines a latest feedback time slot for delaying HARQ-ACK information based on a delay count method is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0103] refer to Figure 2b , assuming that the feedback time slot K1 of the HARQ-ACK information indicated by the base station is 2, and the time slot offset value K1def is 3, the PUCCH resource indicated at K1 is unavailable. Then the UE can use the delay counting method to set the K1def=3rd available time slot after K1 (the available time slot can be, for example, Figure 3 The time slot filled with shadows in b) is determined as the latest feedback time slot, and the valid feedback time slots are determined between K1 and the latest feedback time slot.

[0104] Furthermore, it should be noted that in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the delay counting method does not directly determine the K1defth time slot immediately following the feedback time slot K1 indicated by the base station as the latest feedback time slot, but instead determines the K1defth available time slot following the feedback time slot K1 as the latest feedback time slot. That is, when the delay counting method provided by this embodiment is used to determine the latest feedback time slot, it can be ensured that the determined latest feedback time slot is always an available time slot, and there is always an available time slot (i.e., a valid feedback time slot) between the feedback time slot K1 indicated by the base station and the latest feedback time slot, thereby ensuring the success rate of subsequent HARQ-ACK information transmission. Furthermore, this delay counting method is highly flexible.

[0105] In summary, in the time slot determination method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can determine the delay counting method corresponding to the HARQ-ACK information, wherein the delay counting method may include: determining a valid feedback time slot within K1def available time slots after the feedback time slot K1 of the HARQ-ACK information indicated by the base station; K1def is the time slot offset value indicated by the base station;

[0106] Then, the latest feedback time slot for delaying HARQ-ACK information is determined based on the delay counting method. It can be seen that the embodiment of the present disclosure specifically provides a method for determining the latest feedback time slot for delaying HARQ-ACK information based on the delay counting method.

[0107] Figure 3 A flowchart of a time slot determination method provided in another embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to a UE, such as Figure 3 As shown, the time slot determination method may include the following steps:

[0108] Step 301: Determine a delay counting method corresponding to HARQ-ACK information, where the delay counting method includes:

[0109] Method 1: Determine a valid feedback time slot within K1def consecutive time slots after the feedback time slot K1 of the HARQ-ACK information indicated by the base station; K1def is the time slot offset value indicated by the base station; and

[0110] Method 2: Determine a valid feedback time slot within K1def available time slots after the feedback time slot K1 of the HARQ-ACK information indicated by the base station.

[0113] Semi-static dedicated configuration of uplink time slots;

[0114] Special time slots;

[0116] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for the UE to determine the delay count corresponding to the HARQ-ACK information may include: method one and method two corresponding to the HARQ-ACK information determined based on the protocol.

[0117] In another disclosed embodiment, a method for the UE to determine a delay count corresponding to HARQ-ACK information may include: configuring method 1 and method 2 based on RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling sent by a base station.

[0118] Step 302: Determine the latest feedback time slot for delaying HARQ-ACK information based on method one or method two.

[0119] The method for determining the latest feedback time slot based on method one or method two can be described with reference to the above embodiments, and will not be elaborated herein in detail in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0120] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method in which the UE specifically selects to determine the latest feedback time slot based on method one or based on method two may include at least one of the following:

[0121] Obtain method 1 or method 2 selected by the base station through RRC signaling, and determine the latest feedback time slot based on the method selected by the base station;

[0122] Obtaining method 1 or method 2 selected by the base station through MAC-CE (Media Access Control Address Control Element) signaling, and determining the latest feedback time slot based on the method selected by the base station;

[0123] The method 1 or the method 2 selected by the base station through DCI (Downlink Control Information) signaling is obtained, and the latest feedback time slot is determined based on the method selected by the base station.

[0124] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the base station may send the selected method 1 or method 2 to the UE by any one of the above methods. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the base station may also send the selected method 1 or method 2 to the UE by any combination of the above methods.

[0125] Furthermore, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, when the UE configures method one and method two based on the RRC signaling sent by the base station in step 301, the UE can obtain method one or method two selected by the base station through DCI signaling and / or MAC-CE signaling, and determine the latest feedback time slot based on the method selected by the base station.

[0126] In summary, in the time slot determination method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can determine the delay counting method corresponding to the HARQ-ACK information. The delay counting method includes: Method 1: determining the valid feedback time slot within K1def consecutive time slots after the feedback time slot K1 of the HARQ-ACK information indicated by the base station; K1def is the time slot offset value indicated by the base station;

It can be seen that the embodiment of the present disclosure specifically provides a method for determining the latest feedback time slot for delaying the HARQ-ACK information based on a delay counting method.

[0130] Among them, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, specifically, when the base station determines that the feedback time slot K1 of the HARQ-ACK information is unavailable, a delay counting method corresponding to the HARQ-ACK information is determined.

[0131] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for the base station to determine the delay counting method corresponding to the HARQ-ACK information may include: determining the delay counting method corresponding to the HARQ-ACK information based on a protocol.
