Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of mobile communications, and in particular to a method, apparatus, device, and medium for determining uplink control information (UCI) transmission resources. Background Art

[0002] In the New Radio (NR) system, in order to better support Ultra-Reliable Low Latency (URLLC) services, first and second priorities are introduced for uplink channels at the physical layer, that is, priority index 0 represents the second priority, and priority index 1 represents the first priority.

[0003] In the related art, it is supported to multiplex the first-priority Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) feedback information and the second-priority HARQ feedback information, or to transmit only the first-priority HARQ feedback information. However, the reliability requirement of the UCI corresponding to the second-priority HARQ feedback information is generally 99%. The reliability requirement of the UCI corresponding to the first-priority HARQ feedback information is 99.999% or 99.9999%. Directly multiplexing the second-priority HARQ feedback information with the first-priority HARQ feedback information will reduce the reliability of the first-priority HARQ when the base station does not know whether this transmission is a multiplexed transmission. The performance requirements of the UCI corresponding to the first-priority HARQ feedback information cannot be met, which will cause the reliability of the HARQ feedback information to decrease.

[0044] Figure 2 A flowchart of a method for determining UCI transmission resources provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. This embodiment is illustrated by taking the method executed by a terminal as an example. The method includes:

[0045] Step 120: Receive first information;

[0046] The first information is used to configure at least one PUCCH resource set, and the at least one PUCCH resource set is configured to transmit the first-priority UCI. The PUCCH resource set can be used to transmit the first-priority UCI; or used to transmit the first-priority UCI and the second-priority UCI.

[0047] Optionally, the priority of the UCI is determined based on the priority of HARQ feedback information carried by the UCI.

[0048] Optionally, the first priority UCI is used to carry HARQ feedback information of the first priority, and the second priority UCI is used to carry HARQ feedback information of the second priority. Exemplarily, the first priority is higher than the second priority, and the first priority can be simply referred to as high priority, and the second priority can be simply referred to as low priority.

[0049] Optionally, at least one PUCCH resource set includes a set of PUCCH resources used for multiplexing and transmitting first-priority UCI and second-priority UCI, referred to as a multiplexing transmission dedicated resource set, or at least one PUCCH resource set includes a set of PUCCH resources used for transmitting first-priority UCI.

[0050] Exemplarily, the PUCCH resources in the multiplexing transmission dedicated resource set are used to transmit the first priority UCI and the second priority UCI, that is, the multiplexing transmission dedicated resource set is a set of PUCCH resources configured for multiplexing transmission of the first priority UCI and the second priority UCI.

[0051] Illustratively, the PUCCH resources in the set of PUCCH resources used to transmit the first-priority UCI may transmit only the first-priority UCI, or may be multiplexed to transmit the first-priority UCI and the second-priority UCI.

[0052] Step 140: Determine a first PUCCH resource set from at least one PUCCH resource set according to the first bit quantity;

[0053] The first bit quantity includes the second bit quantity and the third bit quantity.

[0054] The second number of bits is the number of bits of the first UCI, and the first UCI corresponds to the first priority.

[0055] The third bit number is determined based on the bit number of the second UCI, the second UCI corresponds to the second priority; or, the third bit number is determined based on second information, the second information is used to configure the transmission parameters of the first UCI; or, the third bit number is a predetermined value.

[0056] Exemplarily, in the case where the third bit number is determined based on the bit number of the second UCI, the third bit number is directly set to be equal to the bit number of the second UCI.

[0057] Exemplarily, when the third bit number is determined based on the bit number of the second UCI, the third bit number is obtained by calculating the bit number of the second UCI, and the calculation method is indicated or predefined by the network device.

[0058] Exemplarily, in the case where the third number of bits is determined based on the second information. The second information includes a designated information field for indicating the third number of bits, and the second number of bits is determined based on the designated information field. For example, the terminal receives downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI), and the DCI includes a specific information field indicating the number of first downlink channels. The terminal obtains the third number of bits based on the number of first downlink channels. Optionally, the designated information field is an information field for indicating PUCCH resources, for example, the designated information field is a PUCCH Resource Indicator (PRI) field.

[0059] Exemplarily, the third bit quantity is a preset value. The preset value is a value agreed upon by the communication protocol. For example, the third bit quantity is 0, or the third bit quantity is another value configured by the network device.

[0060] The first PUCCH resource set is a PUCCH resource set determined from at least one PUCCH resource set according to the first bit quantity, and the first PUCCH resource set includes at least two PUCCH resources.

[0061] Step 160: Determine a first PUCCH resource from a first PUCCH resource set according to the first PUCCH resource information and the offset value.

[0062] The first PUCCH resource information includes the PRI. Optionally, the first PUCCH resource information is obtained through second information, where the second information is used to configure transmission parameters of the first UCI.

[0063] The offset value is agreed upon by the communication protocol; or, the offset value is configured by the network device; or, the offset value is determined based on the number of bits of the second UCI, and there is a corresponding relationship between the offset value and the target interval, and the target interval is the interval to which the number of bits of the second UCI belongs in at least two preset bit number intervals; or, the offset value is determined based on one DCI in at least one DCI corresponding to the second UCI.

[0064] Method 1: The offset value is a predetermined value.

[0065] For example, when multiplexing and transmitting UCI of the first and second priorities, the communication protocol stipulates or the network device configures an offset value of 1, and an offset value of 1 is added when determining the PUCCH resource. When only UCI of the first priority is transmitted, no offset value is added when determining the PUCCH resource. By determining whether the resources used by the received PUCCH have been offset, the network device can determine whether the terminal has only transmitted UCI of the first priority or multiplexed and transmitted UCI of the first and second priorities.

[0066] Method 2: Determine the offset value according to the number of bits of the second UCI.

[0067] For example, taking the example of a terminal determining a PUCCH resource from a set of PUCCH resources used to transmit first-priority UCI, when the number of bits of the second UCI is not greater than the first value, the offset value is 1; when the number of bits of the second UCI is greater than the first value, the offset value is 2. When the terminal does not receive the second UCI, the terminal determines the first PUCCH resource based on the PRI and transmits the first-priority UCI. When the terminal receives second UCI and the number of bits is not greater than the first value, the terminal adds the offset value of 1 to the PRI indication, determines the corresponding first PUCCH resource, and transmits multiplexed information including the first-priority UCI and the second-priority UCI. When the terminal receives second UCI and the number of bits is greater than the first value, the terminal adds the offset value of 2 to the PRI indication, determines the corresponding first PUCCH resource, and transmits multiplexed information including the first-priority UCI and the second-priority UCI.

[0068] For another example, taking the example of a terminal determining a PUCCH resource from a dedicated resource set for multiplexed transmission, when the number of bits of the second UCI is not greater than the first value, the offset value is 0; when the number of bits of the second UCI is greater than the first value, the offset value is 1. When the terminal does not receive the second UCI, the terminal determines a first PUCCH resource from the resource set for first-priority UCI based on the PRI and transmits the first-priority UCI. When the terminal receives a second UCI and its number is not greater than the first value, the terminal determines a first PUCCH resource from the dedicated resource set for multiplexed transmission based on the PRI and transmits multiplexed information including the first-priority UCI and the second-priority UCI. When the terminal receives a second UCI and its number is greater than the first value, the terminal determines a corresponding first PUCCH resource from the dedicated resource set for multiplexed transmission after adding an offset value of 1 to the PRI indication and transmits the multiplexed information including the first-priority UCI and the second-priority UCI.

[0069] For another example, the number of bits in the second UCI can be divided into more intervals, corresponding to different offset values. For example, when the number of bits in the second UCI is not greater than the first value, the offset value is 0; when the number of bits in the second UCI is greater than the first value but not greater than the second value, the offset value is 1; when the number of bits in the second UCI is greater than the second value, the offset value is 2. The first value is less than the second value. This application does not limit the division of the number of bits in the second UCI.

[0070] Method 3: The offset value is determined according to one DCI in the at least one DCI corresponding to the second UCI.

[0071] The DCI is used to schedule downlink data for the terminal. After receiving the downlink data, the terminal provides feedback to the network device. This feedback information is carried in the UCI. The at least one DCI corresponding to the second UCI is a DCI for scheduling target downlink data. The target downlink data is the downlink data for which the HARQ feedback information carried in the second UCI is directed.

[0072] Exemplarily, the second UCI is used to carry HARQ feedback information of a second priority, and the HARQ feedback information of the second priority is information used to provide feedback on the reception status of downlink data. The DCI used to schedule the downlink data is the DCI corresponding to the second UCI. The second UCI corresponds to one or more DCIs. When the second DCI corresponds to multiple DCIs, the offset value is determined based on one DCI among the multiple DCIs. For example, the offset value is determined based on the DCI that is last in the time domain order of the multiple DCIs; for another example, the offset value is determined based on the DCI that is first in the time domain order of the multiple DCIs.

[0073] Exemplarily, the last DCI in at least one DCI corresponding to the second UCI is selected to obtain its downlink assignment index (DAI) field information. The value of the offset value is related to the size of the value of the DAI information field. For example, taking the example of the terminal determining the PUCCH resource from the set of PUCCH resources used to transmit the first priority UCI, when the DAI value is 1, the offset value is 1; when the DAI value is 2, the offset value is 2; when the DAI value is 3, the offset value is 3; when the DAI value is 4, the offset value is 4. For another example, taking the example of the terminal determining the PUCCH resource from the set of dedicated resources for multiplexing transmission, when the DAI value is 1, the offset value is 0; when the DAI value is 2, the offset value is 1; when the DAI value is 3, the offset value is 2; when the DAI value is 4, the offset value is 3.

[0074] Exemplarily, the last DCI in at least one DCI corresponding to the second UCI is selected to obtain its DAI domain information. The value of the offset value is related to the parity of the value of the DAI information domain. For example, taking the example of the terminal determining the PUCCH resource from the set of PUCCH resources used to transmit the first priority UCI, when the DAI value is an odd number such as 1 or 3, the offset value is 1; when the DAI value is an even number such as 2 or 4, the offset value is 2. For another example, taking the example of the terminal determining the PUCCH resource from the set of multiplexed transmission dedicated resources, when the DAI value is an odd number such as 1 or 3, the offset value is 0; when the DAI value is an even number such as 2 or 4, the offset value is 1.

[0075] The first PUCCH resource is obtained according to a first parameter, and the first parameter is obtained according to a PRI and an offset value.

[0076] Exemplarily, the first parameter is (Y+offset) mod N. Wherein, Y is determined according to PRI, offset is the offset value, and N is 8 or 2. m Or the number of PUCCH resources in the first PUCCH resource set, m is the bit length of the PRI. The first PUCCH resource is the (Y+offset) mod N th resource in the first PUCCH resource set.

[0077] Exemplarily, the first parameter is (Y-1+offset) mod N+1, where Y is determined according to PRI, offset is the offset value, and N is 8 or 2. m Or the number of PUCCH resources in the first PUCCH resource set, m is the bit length of the PRI. The first PUCCH resource is the (Y-1+offset) mod N+1th resource in the first PUCCH resource set.

[0078] The terminal sends the first UCI and the second UCI in a multiplexing transmission manner on the first PUCCH resource.

[0079] In summary, in the method provided in this embodiment, the terminal determines the first PUCCH resource set from at least one PUCCH resource set based on the first number of bits by receiving the first message, and further determines the first PUCCH resource from the first PUCCH resource set based on the first PUCCH resource information and the offset value. This method can transmit certain information from the terminal to the network device through the offset value corresponding to the selected PUCCH resource. For example, when the offset value is 0, the UCI transmitted this time is only the first priority UCI; when the offset value is greater than 0, the UCI transmitted this time includes the first priority UCI and the second priority UCI; for another example, the offset value can implicitly indicate information about the number of bits of the second priority UCI. The network device can clarify the number of bits, the approximate number, or the parity of the second priority UCI based on the offset value, thereby improving the decoding success rate and improving the reliability of the multiplexed information transmission.

[0080] Figure 3 A flowchart of a method for determining UCI transmission resources provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. This embodiment is illustrated by taking the method executed by a terminal as an example. The method includes:

[0081] Step 320: Receive first information;

[0082] The first information is used to configure at least one PUCCH resource set. Schematically, the network device sends the first information to the terminal, where the first information configures at least one PUCCH resource set for transmitting the first UCI.

[0083] Step 332: Determine PUCCH 1 for transmitting the second UCI;

[0084] The second UCI is used to carry HARQ feedback information of the second priority. Schematically, the network device sends DCIi to the terminal, where DCIi is used to schedule downlink data transmission of PDSCHi, where i is an integer. After receiving downlink data on the PDSCH, the terminal generates HARQ feedback information of the second priority.

[0085] The terminal determines a PUCCH resource set from at least one PUCCH resource set based on the third number of bits of the second-priority UCI. The terminal then determines PUCCH 1 in the PUCCH resource set based on the PRI in the last DCI, where PUCCH 1 is used to transmit the second DCI, which carries the second-priority HARQ feedback information.

[0086] Step 334: Determine PUCCH 2 for transmitting the first UCI;

[0087] The first UCI is used to carry HARQ feedback information of the first priority. Schematically, the network device sends DCIi to the terminal, and the DCIi is used to schedule downlink data transmission of PDSCH. After receiving downlink data of PDSCH, the terminal generates the first priority HARQ feedback information.

[0088] The terminal determines a PUCCH resource set from at least one PUCCH resource set based on the second number of bits of the first UCI. The terminal then determines PUCCH 2 in the PUCCH resource set based on the PRI in the last DCI, where PUCCH 2 is used to transmit the first DCI, where the first DCI carries the first priority HARQ feedback information.

[0089] This embodiment does not limit the order of step 332 and step 334. Step 332 may be performed before step 334; or step 334 may be performed before step 332; or step 332 and step 334 may be performed simultaneously.

[0090] Step 336: Determine whether PUCCH 1 and PUCCH 2 overlap in the time domain;

[0091] If PUCCH 1 and PUCCH 2 overlap in the time domain, it is determined to multiplex the first priority UCI and the second priority UCI and execute step 340; if PUCCH 1 and PUCCH 2 do not overlap in the time domain, execute step 338 and transmit the first priority UCI and the second priority UCI separately.

[0092] Step 340: Determine a first PUCCH resource set from at least one PUCCH resource set according to the first bit quantity;

[0093] The first bit number includes a second bit number and a third bit number. In this embodiment, the second bit number is the number of bits of the first UCI, which carries HARQ feedback information of the first priority. The third bit number is the number of bits of the second UCI, which carries HARQ feedback information of the second priority.

[0094] Exemplarily, the network device sends a first message to the terminal, where the first message is used to configure at least one PUCCH resource set belonging to any of the following types:

[0095] PUCCH resources in a PUCCH resource set of type a are used to carry 1- or 2-bit UCI. The set may include up to 32 PUCCH resources.

[0096] The bit range of the PUCCH resource carrying UCI in the PUCCH resource set of type b is 2 <OUCI ≤ N2, where N2 is configured by the network device and the set may include up to 8 PUCCH resources;

[0097] The bit range of the PUCCH resource carrying UCI in the PUCCH resource set of type c is N2 <O UCI ≤N3, where N3 is configured by the network device and the set may include up to 8 PUCCH resources;

[0098] The bit range of the PUCCH resource carrying UCI in the PUCCH resource set of type d is N3 <O UCI ≤N4, where N4 is configured by the network device and the set can include up to 8 PUCCH resources;

[0099] Exemplarily, the first bit number is equal to 2, and thus a PUCCH resource set of type a is determined as the first PUCCH resource set.

[0100] Exemplarily, the first bit number is equal to 3, and thus a PUCCH resource set of type b is determined as the first PUCCH resource set.

[0101] Step 362: Determine whether the first PUCCH resource set is a PUCCH resource set of type a;

[0102] If the first PUCCH resource set is a type-a PUCCH resource set, that is, used to carry 1 or 2 bits of UCI information, execute step 364a; if the first PUCCH resource set is not a type-a PUCCH resource set, execute step 364b.

[0103] Step 364a: Determine the first PUCCH resource from the first PUCCH resource set according to the first PUCCH resource information and the offset value according to a formula;

[0104] The value of the PRI information field is obtained according to the first PUCCH resource information Δ PRI Substitute the offset value into the following formula to determine the number corresponding to the first PUCCH resource in the resource set:

[0105] Δ′ PRI =(Δ PRI +offset)mod 8;

[0106]

[0107] Among them, N CCE，P The number of control channel elements (CCEs) included in the downlink control resource set where the PDCCH for transmitting DCI is located; nCCE，P The number of the first CCE occupied by the PDCCH that transmits DCI. PRI is the value of the PRI information field. If the DCI does not include the PRI information field, then Δ PRI =0.

[0108] refer to Figure 4 The terminal receives the first information and learns that the network device has configured PUCCH resource set 1 for transmitting first-priority UCI. Resource set 1 includes at least two PUCCH resources for transmitting one- or two-bit UCI. DCI i is used to schedule physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) i transmission. For example, DCI 1 is used to schedule PDSCH 1 transmission, and DCI 2 is used to schedule PDSCH 2 transmission.

[0109] The HARQ feedback information for PDSCH 1 is given the second priority. The terminal determines PUCCH 1 based on the number of bits (e.g., 1 bit) of the HARQ feedback information for PDSCH 1 and the PRI information in DCI 1. The HARQ feedback information for PDSCH 2 is given the first priority. The terminal determines PUCCH 2 based on the number of bits (e.g., 1 bit) of the HARQ feedback information for PDSCH 2 and the PRI information in DCI 2. PUCCH 1 and PUCCH 2 overlap in the time domain, meaning that the terminal determines to multiplex the HARQ feedback information for transmission.

[0110] Exemplarily, the third number of bits is set equal to the number of bits of the second UCI. Based on the above second number of bits being equal to 1 bit and the third number of bits being equal to 1 bit, it can be obtained that the first number of bits is equal to 2 bits. The resource set determined by the first number of bits being 2 bits is resource set 1, and resource set 1 is a PUCCH resource set of type a. Therefore, the first PUCCH resource is determined from the first PUCCH resource set according to the formula;

[0111] The first PUCCH resource information is obtained according to DCI 2. The first PUCCH resource is determined according to the PRI and offset value in the first PUCCH resource information. The specific formula is Δ′ PRI =(Δ PRI + offset) mod 8, and Δ′ PRI Substitute the following formula:

[0112]

[0113] Among them, N CCE，P The number of control channel elements (CCEs) included in the downlink control resource set where the PDCCH for transmitting DCI is located; n CCE，PThe number of the first CCE occupied by the PDCCH that transmits DCI. PRI is the value of the PRI information field in the DCI. If the DCI does not include the PRI information field, then Δ PRI = 0. According to r PUCCH The corresponding first PUCCH resource is determined in resource set 1.

[0114] Step 364b: According to the first PUCCH resource information and the offset value, Figure 5 A first PUCCH resource is determined from a first PUCCH resource set.

[0115] Figure 5 The figure shows the mapping relationship between the PRI value in the first PUCCH resource information and the 8 PUCCH resources in the PUCCH resource set.

[0116] refer to Figure 6 Upon receiving the first information, the terminal learns that the network device has configured two PUCCH resource sets for transmitting the first-priority UCI: resource set 1 for transmitting 1- or 2-bit UCI, and resource set 2 for transmitting 2-10-bit UCI. DCI i is used to schedule physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) i transmission. For example, DCI 1 is used to schedule PDSCH 1 transmission, and DCI 2 is used to schedule PDSCH 2 transmission. PDSCH 3 is a semi-persistent PDSCH, meaning it has no corresponding DCI.

[0117] The HARQ feedback information of PDSCH 1 and PDSCH 2 is given the second priority. The terminal determines PUCCH 1 based on the number of bits (e.g., 2 bits) of the HARQ feedback information of PDSCH 1 and PDSCH 2 and the PRI information in DCI 2. The HARQ feedback information of PDSCH 3 and PDSCH 4 is given the first priority. The terminal determines PUCCH 2 based on the number of bits (e.g., 2 bits) of the HARQ feedback information of PDSCH 3 and PDSCH 4 and the PRI information in DCI 4. PUCCH 1 and PUCCH 2 overlap in the time domain, meaning that the terminal determines to multiplex the HARQ feedback information for transmission.

[0118] Exemplarily, the third bit number is set to be equal to the second UCI bit number. Based on the second bit number being 2 bits and the third bit number being 2 bits, the first bit number can be obtained to be 4 bits. The resource set determined by the first bit number being 4 bits is resource set 2. Resource set 2 is not a PUCCH resource set of type a. Therefore, according to Figure 5 A first PUCCH resource is determined from a first PUCCH resource set.

[0119] For example, the first PUCCH resource information can be obtained according to DCI 4, where PRI indicates 011. The offset value is set to 1, according to Figure 4 It can be seen that the PRI indication corresponds to the fourth resource in resource set 2. After the offset, the fifth resource in resource set 2 is determined to be the first PUCCH resource.

[0120] For example, the first PUCCH resource information can be obtained according to DCI 4, wherein the PRI indicates 011. The first value is set to 2 bits. When the number of bits of the second UCI is not greater than the first value, the offset value is 1. Figure 4 It can be seen that the PRI indication corresponds to the fourth resource in resource set 2. After the offset, the fifth resource in resource set 2 is determined to be the first PUCCH resource.

[0121] For example, the first PUCCH resource information can be obtained according to DCI 4, in which the PRI indicates 011. The offset value is determined according to the value of the DAI information field in the last DCI corresponding to the second UCI. The value of the offset value is related to the value size of the DAI information field. Since the DAI value is 1, the offset value is determined to be 1. Figure 4 It can be seen that the PRI indication corresponds to the fourth resource in resource set 2. After the offset, the fifth resource in resource set 2 is determined to be the first PUCCH resource.

[0122] For example, the first PUCCH resource information can be obtained according to DCI 4, where the PRI indicates 111. The offset value is set to 1. For the case of multiplexing the first priority UCI and the second priority UCI, the offset value is added when determining the PUCCH resource. Figure 4 It can be seen that the PRI indication corresponds to the 8th resource in resource set 2. After the offset, the 1st resource in resource set 2 is determined to be the first PUCCH resource.

[0123] In summary, in the method provided in this embodiment, the terminal determines the first PUCCH resource set from at least one PUCCH resource set based on the first number of bits by receiving the first message, and further determines the first PUCCH resource from the first PUCCH resource set based on the first PUCCH resource information and the offset value. This method can transmit certain information from the terminal to the network device through the offset value corresponding to the selected PUCCH resource. For example, when the offset value is 0, the UCI transmitted this time is only the first priority UCI; when the offset value is greater than 0, the UCI transmitted this time includes the first priority UCI and the second priority UCI; for another example, the offset value can implicitly indicate information about the number of bits of the second priority UCI. The network device can clarify the number of bits, the approximate number, or the parity of the second priority UCI based on the offset value, thereby improving the decoding success rate and improving the reliability of the multiplexed information transmission.

[0124] Figure 7 A flowchart of a method for receiving UCI provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. This embodiment is illustrated by taking the method as executed by a network device as an example. The method includes:

[0125] Step 720: Receive the first UCI and the second UCI through the first PUCCH resource;

[0126] Among them, the first PUCCH resource is determined from the first PUCCH resource set based on the first PUCCH resource information and the offset value, the first PUCCH resource set is determined from at least one PUCCH resource set based on the first bit number, the first bit number includes the second bit number and the third bit number, the second bit number is the bit number of the first UCI, and at least one PUCCH resource set is used to transmit UCI of the first priority, the first UCI corresponds to the first priority, the second UCI corresponds to the second priority, and the first priority is higher than the second priority.

[0127] The offset value is agreed upon by the communication protocol; or, the offset value is configured by the network device to the terminal; or, the offset value is determined based on the number of bits of the second UCI, and there is a corresponding relationship between the offset value and the target interval, and the target interval is the interval to which the number of bits of the second UCI belongs in at least two preset bit number intervals; or, the offset value is determined based on one DCI in at least one DCI corresponding to the second UCI.

[0128] Method 1: The offset value is a predetermined value.

[0129] For example, in the case of multiplexing the transmission of the first-priority UCI and the second-priority UCI, the offset value is 1 as agreed by the communication protocol or configured by the network device, and the offset value 1 is added when determining the PUCCH resource; in the case of transmitting only the first-priority UCI, no offset value is added when determining the PUCCH resource.

[0130] Method 2: Determine the offset value according to the number of bits of the second UCI.

[0131] For example, taking the example of a network device determining a PUCCH resource from a set of PUCCH resources used to transmit a first-priority UCI, when the number of bits of the second UCI is no greater than the first value, the offset value is 1; when the number of bits of the second UCI is greater than the first value, the offset value is 2. When the network device determines that the second UCI will not be received, the network device determines the first PUCCH resource based on the PRI; when the network device determines that the second UCI will be received and its number is no greater than the first value, the network device adds the offset value of 1 to the PRI indication and determines the corresponding first PUCCH resource; when the network device determines that the second UCI will be received and its number is greater than the first value, the network device adds the offset value of 2 to the PRI indication and determines the corresponding first PUCCH resource.

[0132] For another example, taking the case where a network device determines a PUCCH resource from a set of dedicated resources for multiplexed transmission, when the number of bits of the second UCI is not greater than the first value, the offset value is 0; when the number of bits of the second UCI is greater than the first value, the offset value is 1. When the network device determines that it will not receive the second UCI, the network device determines the first PUCCH resource from the resource set used for first-priority UCI based on the PRI. When the network device receives the second UCI and its number is not greater than the first value, the network device determines the first PUCCH resource from the set of dedicated resources for multiplexed transmission based on the PRI. When the network device determines that it will receive the second UCI and its number is greater than the first value, the network device determines the corresponding first PUCCH resource from the set of dedicated resources for multiplexed transmission by adding the offset value of 1 to the PRI indication.

[0133] For another example, the number of bits in the second UCI can be divided into more intervals, corresponding to different offset values. For example, when the number of bits in the second UCI is not greater than the first value, the offset value is 0; when the number of bits in the second UCI is greater than the first value but not greater than the second value, the offset value is 1; when the number of bits in the second UCI is greater than the second value, the offset value is 2. The first value is less than the second value. This application does not limit the division of the number of bits in the second UCI.

[0134] Method 3: The offset value is determined according to one DCI in the at least one DCI corresponding to the second UCI.

[0135] Exemplarily, the second UCI is used to carry HARQ feedback information of a second priority, and the HARQ feedback information of the second priority is information used to provide feedback on the reception status of downlink data. The DCI used to schedule the downlink data is the DCI corresponding to the second UCI. The second UCI corresponds to one or more DCIs. When the second DCI corresponds to multiple DCIs, the offset value is determined based on one DCI among the multiple DCIs. For example, the offset value is determined based on the DCI that is last in the time domain order of the multiple DCIs; for another example, the offset value is determined based on the DCI that is first in the time domain order of the multiple DCIs.

[0136] Exemplarily, the last DCI in at least one DCI corresponding to the second UCI is selected to obtain its downlink assignment index (DAI) field information. The value of the offset value is related to the size of the value of the DAI information field. For example, taking the example of a network device determining a PUCCH resource from a set of PUCCH resources used to transmit the first priority UCI, when the DAI value is 1, the offset value is 1; when the DAI value is 2, the offset value is 2; when the DAI value is 3, the offset value is 3; when the DAI value is 4, the offset value is 4. For another example, taking the example of a network device determining a PUCCH resource from a set of dedicated resources for multiplexed transmission, when the DAI value is 1, the offset value is 0; when the DAI value is 2, the offset value is 1; when the DAI value is 3, the offset value is 2; when the DAI value is 4, the offset value is 3.

[0137] Exemplarily, the last DCI in at least one DCI corresponding to the second UCI is selected to obtain its DAI domain information. The value of the offset value is related to the parity of the value of the DAI information domain. For example, taking the example of the network device determining the PUCCH resource from the set of PUCCH resources used to transmit the first priority UCI, when the DAI value is an odd number such as 1, 3, the offset value is 1; when the DAI value is an even number such as 2, 4, the offset value is 2. For another example, taking the example of the network device determining the PUCCH resource from the set of multiplexed transmission dedicated resources, when the DAI value is an odd number such as 1, 3, the offset value is 0; when the DAI value is an even number such as 2, 4, the offset value is 1.

[0138] The first PUCCH resource is obtained according to a first parameter, and the first parameter is obtained according to a PRI and an offset value.

[0139] Exemplarily, the first parameter is (Y+offset) mod N. Wherein, Y is determined according to PRI, offset is the offset value, and N is 8 or 2. mOr the number of PUCCH resources in the first PUCCH resource set, m is the bit length of the PRI. The first PUCCH resource is the (Y+offset) mod N th resource in the first PUCCH resource set.

[0140] Exemplarily, the first parameter is (Y-1+offset) mod N+1, where Y is determined according to PRI, offset is the offset value, and N is 8 or 2. m Or the number of PUCCH resources in the first PUCCH resource set, m is the bit length of the PRI. The first PUCCH resource is the (Y-1+offset) mod N+1th resource in the first PUCCH resource set.

[0141] After determining the first PUCCH resource, the network device receives the first UCI and the second UCI on the first PUCCH resource.

[0142] To sum up, in the method provided in this embodiment, the network device receives the first UCI and the second UCI through the first PUCCH resource, and the network device can obtain the implicit information of this transmission through the offset value. For example, when the offset value is 0, the UCI transmitted this time is only the first priority UCI; when the offset value is greater than 0, the UCI transmitted this time includes the first priority UCI and the second priority UCI; for example, the offset value can implicitly indicate information about the number of bits of the second priority UCI. The network device can clarify the number of bits or the approximate number or parity of the second priority UCI based on the offset value, thereby improving the decoding success rate and improving the reliability of the multiplexed information transmission.

[0143] Based on Figure 7 In an optional embodiment, Figure 8 A flowchart of a method for receiving UCI provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. This embodiment is illustrated by taking the method as executed by a network device as an example. The method includes:

[0144] Step 820: Sending first information and first PUCCH resource information to the terminal;

[0145] The first information is used to configure at least one PUCCH resource set, and the at least one PUCCH resource set is configured to transmit the first-priority UCI. The PUCCH resource set can be used to transmit the first-priority UCI; or used to transmit the first-priority UCI and the second-priority UCI.

[0146] The first PUCCH resource information includes the PRI. Optionally, the network device sends second information to the terminal, the second information carrying the first PUCCH resource information, and the second information is used to configure transmission parameters of the first-priority UCI. Exemplarily, the network device sends DCI to the terminal, the DCI being used to schedule downlink data. The DCI carries the first PUCCH resource information.

[0147] Optionally, this application does not limit the order in which the first information and the first PUCCH resource information are sent. The first information is sent before the first PUCCH resource information; or, the first PUCCH resource information is sent before the first information; or, the first information and the first PUCCH resource information are sent simultaneously.

[0148] Step 840: Determine a first PUCCH resource set from at least one PUCCH resource set according to the first bit quantity of the terminal;

[0149] The first bit quantity includes the second bit quantity and the third bit quantity.

[0150] The second number of bits is the number of bits of the first UCI, and the first UCI corresponds to the first priority.

[0151] The third bit number is determined based on the bit number of the second UCI, the second UCI corresponds to the second priority; or, the third bit number is determined based on second information, the second information is used to configure the transmission parameters of the first UCI; or, the third bit number is a predetermined value.

[0152] Exemplarily, in the case where the third bit number is determined based on the bit number of the second UCI, the third bit number is directly set to be equal to the bit number of the second UCI.

[0153] Exemplarily, when the third bit number is determined based on the bit number of the second UCI, the third bit number is obtained by calculating the bit number of the second UCI, and the calculation method is indicated or predefined by the network device.

[0154] Exemplarily, in a case where the third number of bits is determined based on the second information, the second information includes a specific information field for indicating the third number of bits, and the second number of bits is determined based on the specific information field. For example, the terminal receives downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI), the DCI includes a specific information field indicating the number of first downlink channels, and the terminal obtains the third number of bits based on the number of the first downlink channels.

[0155] Exemplarily, the third bit quantity is a preset value. The preset value is a value agreed upon by the communication protocol. For example, the third bit quantity is 0, or the third bit quantity is another value configured by the network device.

[0156] The first PUCCH resource set is a PUCCH resource set determined from at least one PUCCH resource set according to the first bit quantity, and the first PUCCH resource set includes at least two PUCCH resources.

[0157] Because the downlink data sent by the network device to the terminal is known, the network device can calculate the number of bits of the first UCI and the second UCI to be sent by the terminal, add them together to obtain the first number of bits of the terminal, and determine the first PUCCH resource set from the at least one PUCCH resource set based on the first number of bits.

[0158] Step 860: Determine a first PUCCH resource from a first PUCCH resource set according to the first PUCCH resource information and the offset value.

[0159] The offset value is agreed upon by the communication protocol; or, the offset value is configured by the network device to the terminal; or, the offset value is determined based on the number of bits of the second UCI, and there is a corresponding relationship between the offset value and the target interval, and the target interval is the interval to which the number of bits of the second UCI belongs in at least two preset bit number intervals; or, the offset value is determined based on one DCI in at least one DCI corresponding to the second UCI.

[0160] Method 1: The offset value is a predetermined value.

[0161] For example, in the case of multiplexing the transmission of the first-priority UCI and the second-priority UCI, the offset value is 1 as agreed by the communication protocol or configured by the network device, and the offset value 1 is added when determining the PUCCH resource; in the case of transmitting only the first-priority UCI, no offset value is added when determining the PUCCH resource.

[0162] Method 2: Determine the offset value according to the number of bits of the second UCI.

[0163] For example, taking the example of a network device determining a PUCCH resource from a set of PUCCH resources used to transmit a first-priority UCI, when the number of bits of the second UCI is no greater than the first value, the offset value is 1; when the number of bits of the second UCI is greater than the first value, the offset value is 2. When the network device determines that the second UCI will not be received, the network device determines the first PUCCH resource based on the PRI; when the network device determines that the second UCI will be received and its number is no greater than the first value, the network device adds the offset value of 1 to the PRI indication and determines the corresponding first PUCCH resource; when the network device determines that the second UCI will be received and its number is greater than the first value, the network device adds the offset value of 2 to the PRI indication and determines the corresponding first PUCCH resource.

[0164] For another example, taking the case where a network device determines a PUCCH resource from a set of dedicated resources for multiplexed transmission, when the number of bits of the second UCI is not greater than the first value, the offset value is 0; when the number of bits of the second UCI is greater than the first value, the offset value is 1. When the network device determines that it will not receive the second UCI, the network device determines the first PUCCH resource from the resource set used for first-priority UCI based on the PRI. When the network device receives the second UCI and its number is not greater than the first value, the network device determines the first PUCCH resource from the set of dedicated resources for multiplexed transmission based on the PRI. When the network device determines that it will receive the second UCI and its number is greater than the first value, the network device determines the corresponding first PUCCH resource from the set of dedicated resources for multiplexed transmission by adding the offset value of 1 to the PRI indication.

[0165] For another example, the number of bits in the second UCI can be divided into more intervals, corresponding to different offset values. For example, when the number of bits in the second UCI is not greater than the first value, the offset value is 0; when the number of bits in the second UCI is greater than the first value but not greater than the second value, the offset value is 1; when the number of bits in the second UCI is greater than the second value, the offset value is 2. The first value is less than the second value. This application does not limit the division of the number of bits in the second UCI.

[0166] Method 3: The offset value is determined according to one DCI in the at least one DCI corresponding to the second UCI.

[0167] Exemplarily, the second UCI is used to carry HARQ feedback information of a second priority, and the HARQ feedback information of the second priority is information used to provide feedback on the reception status of downlink data. The DCI used to schedule the downlink data is the DCI corresponding to the second UCI. The second UCI corresponds to one or more DCIs. When the second DCI corresponds to multiple DCIs, the offset value is determined based on one DCI among the multiple DCIs. For example, the offset value is determined based on the DCI that is last in the time domain order of the multiple DCIs; for another example, the offset value is determined based on the DCI that is first in the time domain order of the multiple DCIs.

[0168] Exemplarily, the last DCI in at least one DCI corresponding to the second UCI is selected to obtain its downlink assignment index (DAI) field information. The value of the offset value is related to the size of the value of the DAI information field. For example, taking the example of a network device determining a PUCCH resource from a set of PUCCH resources used to transmit the first priority UCI, when the DAI value is 1, the offset value is 1; when the DAI value is 2, the offset value is 2; when the DAI value is 3, the offset value is 3; when the DAI value is 4, the offset value is 4. For another example, taking the example of a network device determining a PUCCH resource from a set of dedicated resources for multiplexed transmission, when the DAI value is 1, the offset value is 0; when the DAI value is 2, the offset value is 1; when the DAI value is 3, the offset value is 2; when the DAI value is 4, the offset value is 3.

[0169] Exemplarily, the last DCI in at least one DCI corresponding to the second UCI is selected to obtain its DAI domain information. The value of the offset value is related to the parity of the value of the DAI information domain. For example, taking the example of the network device determining the PUCCH resource from the set of PUCCH resources used to transmit the first priority UCI, when the DAI value is an odd number such as 1, 3, the offset value is 1; when the DAI value is an even number such as 2, 4, the offset value is 2. For another example, taking the example of the network device determining the PUCCH resource from the set of multiplexed transmission dedicated resources, when the DAI value is an odd number such as 1, 3, the offset value is 0; when the DAI value is an even number such as 2, 4, the offset value is 1.

[0170] The first PUCCH resource is obtained according to a first parameter, and the first parameter is obtained according to a PRI and an offset value.

[0171] Exemplarily, the first parameter is (Y+offset) mod N. Wherein, Y is determined according to PRI, offset is the offset value, and N is 8 or 2. m Or the number of PUCCH resources in the first PUCCH resource set, m is the bit length of the PRI. The first PUCCH resource is the (Y+offset) mod N th resource in the first PUCCH resource set.

[0172] Exemplarily, the first parameter is (Y-1+offset) mod N+1, where Y is determined according to PRI, offset is the offset value, and N is 8 or 2. m Or the number of PUCCH resources in the first PUCCH resource set, m is the bit length of the PRI. The first PUCCH resource is the (Y-1+offset) mod N+1th resource in the first PUCCH resource set.

[0173] After determining the first PUCCH resource, the network device receives the first UCI and the second UCI on the first PUCCH resource.

[0174] Optionally, the network device first determines a candidate PUCCH resource based on the first PUCCH resource information (without an offset value), monitors the first UCI on the candidate PUCCH resource, and continues to monitor the first UCI and the second UCI on the first PUCCH resource if the first UCI is not monitored on the candidate PUCCH resource.

[0175] Optionally, when determining that the terminal wants to multiplex transmission, the network device directly monitors the first UCI and the second UCI on the first PUCCH resource.

[0176] Step 880: Receive the first UCI and the second UCI through the first PUCCH resource;

[0177] After determining the first PUCCH resource, the network device receives the first UCI and the second UCI on the first PUCCH resource.

[0178] In summary, in the method provided in this embodiment, the network device sends a first message and first PUCCH resource information to the terminal, determines the first PUCCH resource set from at least one PUCCH resource set based on the first bit number of the terminal, and determines the first PUCCH resource from the first PUCCH resource set based on the first PUCCH resource information and the offset value. This method enables the network device to obtain certain information through the offset value corresponding to the selected PUCCH resource. For example, when the offset value is 0, the UCI transmitted this time is only the first priority UCI; when the offset value is greater than 0, the UCI transmitted this time includes the first priority UCI and the second priority UCI; for another example, the offset value can implicitly indicate information about the number of bits of the second priority UCI. The network device can clarify the number of bits, the approximate number, or the parity of the second priority UCI based on the offset value, thereby improving the decoding success rate and improving the reliability of multiplexed information transmission.
