The terminal equipment may also be referred to as User Equipment (UE), terminal, etc.

[0043] As described in the background art, there is an urgent need for a solution that can simultaneously transmit PUSCH and PUCCH.

[0044] In the technical solution of the present application, the terminal equipment transmits a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) and a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), and the time-domain resources occupied by the PUSCH and the PUCCH are the same. The technical solution of the present application realizes the simultaneous transmission of the PUSCH and the PUCCH by aligning the PUSCH and the PUCCH in the time domain. In addition, it is also beneficial for the terminal equipment to perform power allocation on the PUSCH and the PUCCH.

[0045] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present application more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present application will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] See Figure 1 , the method provided by the present application specifically includes the following steps:

[0047] Step 101: The terminal equipment transmits the PUSCH and the PUCCH. Among them, the time-domain resources occupied by the PUSCH and the PUCCH are the same.

[0048] Correspondingly, the network equipment receives the PUSCH and the PUCCH on the same time-domain resources.

[0049] It should be noted that the sequence numbers of the steps in this embodiment do not represent the limitation of the execution sequence of each step.

[0050] It can be understood that, in specific implementations, the communication method can be implemented in the form of a software program, and the software program runs in a processor integrated inside a chip or a chip module. This method can also be implemented in the form of software combined with hardware, and this application does not make any restrictions.

[0051] In a specific implementation, the frequency-domain resources occupied by PUSCH and PUCCH are the same. That is to say, the terminal device sends PUSCH and PUCCH on the same time-frequency resource.

[0052] In a specific implementation, the frequency-domain resources occupied by PUSCH and PUCCH are different. That is to say, the terminal device sends PUSCH and PUCCH on different frequency-domain resources at the same time, such as on different carriers, and PUSCH and PUCCH are frequency-division multiplexed.

[0053] The PUCCH mentioned in the present invention can be a periodic PUCCH resource, a semi-persistent PUCCH resource, or an aperiodic PUCCH resource, and the present invention does not make any restrictions.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, PUSCH can be a Dynamic Grant PUSCH. In other words, the terminal device can send Dynamic Grant PUSCH and PUCCH simultaneously.

[0055] In another specific embodiment, PUSCH can be a Configured Grant PUSCH. In other words, the terminal device can send Configured Grant PUSCH and PUCCH simultaneously.

[0056] In another specific embodiment, the terminal device can send Message A (Message A, MsgA) and PUCCH simultaneously. Among them, Message A includes a preamble and PUSCH.

[0057] In this embodiment, PUSCH and PUCCH are aligned in the time domain to achieve the simultaneous transmission of PUSCH and PUCCH. In addition, it is also beneficial for the terminal device to perform power allocation for PUSCH and PUCCH.

[0058] The following will elaborate in detail on how to make the time-domain resources occupied by PUSCH and PUCCH consistent in combination with different embodiments.

[0059] Embodiment 1: The network device configures the same time-domain resources for PUSCH and PUCCH.

[0060] For details, please refer to Figure 2, in step 201, the network device configures the transmission resources for PUSCH and PUCCH for the terminal device. Among them, the time-domain resources in the transmission resources of PUSCH and PUCCH are the same, for example, the symbols occupied are the same. The frequency-domain resources in the transmission resources of PUSCH and PUCCH can be the same or different, and this application does not make any restrictions.

[0061] In step 202, the terminal device sends PUSCH and PUCCH on the same time-domain resources.

[0062] In the embodiment of this application, the network configures the same time-domain resources to achieve the simultaneous transmission of PUSCH and PUCCH.

[0063] In a variation of Embodiment 1, the time-domain resources of the transmission resources for PUSCH and PUCCH by the network device are different, but the terminal device can select the same time-domain resources among the above-mentioned transmission resources to send PUSCH and PUCCH. The operations of the above terminal device can be specified by communication standard protocols, and this application does not make any restrictions on this.

[0064] Embodiment 2: The terminal device discards PUSCH, fills in PUSCH, or fills in PUCCH.

[0065] In this embodiment, the time-domain resources of the transmission resources for PUSCH and PUCCH by the network device are different, and the time-domain resources occupied by PUSCH are more than those occupied by PUCCH. More specifically, the starting position of the time-domain resources occupied by PUSCH is the same as the starting position of the time-domain resources occupied by PUCCH, or the ending position of the time-domain resources occupied by PUSCH is the same as the ending position of the time-domain resources occupied by PUCCH.

[0066] To ensure that the time-domain resources of PUSCH and PUCCH are the same, the terminal device needs to perform resource filling or discarding. Specifically, the terminal device can discard PUSCH, fill in PUSCH, or fill in PUCCH. Since the control information carried by PUCCH is relatively important, the terminal device usually does not discard PUCCH.

[0067] Taking Figure 3 the scenario shown as an example, for Figure 3 the PUSCH and PUCCH shown in Figure a in, the time-domain resources they occupy are different, and the time-domain resources occupied by PUSCH are more than those occupied by PUCCH, and the starting position of the time-domain resources occupied by PUSCH is the same as the starting position of the time-domain resources occupied by PUCCH. Then, the terminal device can perform one of the following operations:

[0068] Operation 1: Fill in PUCCH;

[0069] Operation 2: Discard the PUSCH.

[0070] Specifically, as Figure 3 shown in Figure b, by padding the PUCCH, the time-domain resources of the PUSCH and the PUCCH are made consistent. If no padding PUCCH can be found, the terminal device can discard one of the PUSCH and the PUCCH channels and continue to transmit the other channel.

[0071] Specifically, as Figure 3 shown in Figure c, by discarding the PUSCH, the time-domain resources of the PUSCH and the PUCCH are made consistent. If too many discarded PUSCHs affect the performance, the terminal device can discard one of the PUSCH and the PUCCH channels and continue to transmit the other channel.

[0072] Correspondingly, when the time-domain resources occupied by the PUSCH and the PUCCH are inconsistent and the time-domain resources occupied by the PUCCH are more than those occupied by the PUSCH, the terminal device can perform the following operation: Pad the PUSCH.

[0073] The embodiments of the present application realize the simultaneous transmission of the PUSCH and the PUCCH through the operations on the terminal device side.

[0074] Embodiment 3: Based on the power of the PUSCH and the PUCCH at the overlapping resource position, the PUSCH or PUCCH located at the non-overlapping resource position adopts the same power as the overlapping resource position.

[0075] In this embodiment, the network device makes the transmission resources of the PUSCH and the PUCCH inconsistent in time-domain resources, and the time-domain resources occupied by the PUSCH are more than those occupied by the PUCCH. More specifically, the middle part of the time-domain resources occupied by the PUCCH overlaps with the time-domain resources occupied by the PUSCH.

[0076] Taking Figure 4 the shown scenario as an example, for Figure 4 the PUSCH and the PUCCH shown in Figure a, the time-domain resources occupied by the two are inconsistent, and the time-domain resources occupied by the PUSCH are more than those occupied by the PUCCH. The middle part of the time-domain resources occupied by the PUCCH overlaps with the time-domain resources occupied by the PUSCH. Then, the terminal device can perform the following operations:

[0077] Operation 1: Pad the PUCCH;

[0078] Operation 2: Based on the power of the PUSCH and the PUCCH at the overlapping resource position, discard the PUSCH located at the non-overlapping resource position.

[0079] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4 Figure b, by padding the PUCCH, the time-domain resources of the PUSCH and the PUCCH are made consistent. If no PUCCH for padding can be found, the terminal device can discard one of the PUSCH and the PUCCH and continue to transmit the other channel.

[0080] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4 Figure c, by discarding the PUSCH located at non-overlapping resource positions, the discarded PUSCH is shown as the shaded part in Figure c, so that the time-domain resources of the PUSCH and the PUCCH are consistent. If too many discarded PUSCHs affect the performance, the terminal device can discard one of the PUSCH and the PUCCH and continue to transmit the other channel.

[0081] Correspondingly, when the time-domain resources occupied by the PUSCH and the PUCCH are inconsistent, and the time-domain resources occupied by the PUCCH are more than those occupied by the PUSCH, the terminal device can perform the following operations: pad the PUSCH.

[0082] The embodiments of the present application realize the simultaneous transmission of the PUSCH and the PUCCH through the operations on the terminal device side. In addition, the embodiments of the present application can also ensure that the power on the transmission resources does not jump.

[0083] In a non-limiting embodiment, since the transmit power of the terminal device is limited (Power limited), when the terminal device simultaneously sends the PUSCH and the PUCCH, it is necessary to allocate power to the PUSCH and the PUCCH according to the priority. The following describes different priority configurations in combination with different embodiments.

[0084] Embodiment 4: The first priority of the PUCCH is higher than the second priority of the PUSCH.

[0085] In the embodiments of the present application, the first priority of the PUCCH is always higher than the second priority of the PUSCH. Then when the terminal device performs power allocation, it preferentially allocates power to the PUCCH, and then allocates power to the PUSCH according to the difference between the total power and the power already allocated to the PUCCH.

[0086] Embodiment 5: Under the ultra-reliable and low-latency communication (URLLC) service, the priority of the first channel is higher than that of the second channel under the enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) service. The first channel is one of the PUSCH and the PUCCH, and the second channel is the other of the PUSCH and the PUCCH.

[0087] In this embodiment, for the same service scenario, the priority of PUCCH is higher than that of PUSCH. Specifically, the following situations may be included:

[0088] Situation 1: The priority of PUCCH under URLLC service > the priority of PUSCH under eMBB service;

[0089] Situation 2: The priority of PUSCH under URLLC service > the priority of PUCCH under eMBB service;

[0090] Situation 3: The priority of PUCCH under URLLC service > the priority of PUCCH under URLLC service;

[0091] Situation 4: The priority of PUCCH under eMBB service > the priority of PUSCH under eMBB service.

[0092] The terminal device allocates power for PUSCH and PUCCH according to the above different situations. For example, for Situation 2, it is determined that the device preferentially allocates power for PUSCH under URLLC service, and then allocates power for PUCCH under eMBB service according to the difference between the total power and the power already allocated to the above PUSCH.

[0093] Embodiment 6: The third priority of Message A including PUSCH is higher than the fourth priority of PUCCH.

[0094] In this embodiment, the third priority of Message A is higher than the fourth priority of PUCCH. Then when the terminal device performs power allocation, it preferentially allocates power for Message A, and then allocates power for PUCCH according to the difference between the total power and the power already allocated to Message A.

[0095] In a non - restrictive embodiment, the terminal device can simultaneously send PUSCH and PUCCH, or can also simultaneously send two PUCCHs. However, the transmission resources of the above channels may conflict with the transmission resources of the sounding reference signal (SRS). The terminal device can take different operations to avoid conflicts. Specific embodiments are described below.

[0096] Embodiment 7: At least one of the PUSCH and PUCCH channels is a high - priority channel, discard SRS, otherwise discard PUSCH and PUCCH.

[0097] Specifically, the PUSCH has priority 0 (priority index 0) and priority 1 (priority index 1). Among them, the PUSCH with priority 0 is the high-priority PUSCH, and the PUSCH with priority 1 is the low-priority PUSCH.

[0098] For the PUCCH, its priority is determined according to the information it carries. Among them, the PUCCH carrying periodic / half-period channel state information (CSI), layer 1 reference signal receiving power (RSRP), or layer 1 signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) is the low-priority PUCCH, and the PUCCH carrying other information is the high-priority PUCCH.

[0099] In this embodiment, in the case where the time-domain resources occupied by the PUSCH and PUCCH conflict with the time-domain resources occupied by the SRS, the terminal device can perform one of the following operations:

[0100] Operation 3: In response to at least one of the PUSCH and PUCCH being a high-priority channel, discard the SRS;

[0101] Operation 4: In response to both the PUSCH and PUCCH being low-priority channels, discard the PUSCH and PUCCH.

[0102] For example, Operation 3 includes the following situations:

[0103] Situation 1: The terminal device simultaneously transmits a high-priority PUCCH and a low-priority PUSCH. The time-domain resources occupied by the PUSCH and PUCCH conflict with the time-domain resources occupied by the SRS, and the terminal device discards the SRS;

[0104] Situation 2: The terminal device simultaneously transmits a low-priority PUCCH and a low-priority PUSCH. The time-domain resources occupied by the PUSCH and PUCCH conflict with the time-domain resources occupied by the SRS, and the terminal device discards the PUSCH and PUCCH;

[0105] Situation 3: The terminal device simultaneously transmits a high-priority PUCCH and a high-priority PUSCH. The time-domain resources occupied by the PUSCH and PUCCH conflict with the time-domain resources occupied by the SRS, and the terminal device discards the SRS;

[0106] Case 4: The terminal device simultaneously transmits a low-priority PUCCH and a high-priority PUSCH. The time-domain resources occupied by the PUSCH and the PUCCH conflict with the time-domain resources occupied by the SRS. The terminal device discards the SRS.

[0107] Embodiment 8: At least one of the two PUCCH channels is a high-priority channel. Discard the SRS; otherwise, discard the two PUCCHs. The two PUCCHs are transmitted on the same time-domain resource.

[0108] Similar to the case where the terminal device simultaneously transmits a PUSCH and a PUCCH, when the time-domain resources occupied by the PUCCH and the PUCCH conflict with the time-domain resources occupied by the SRS, the terminal device can perform one of the following operations:

[0109] Operation 5: In response to at least one of the PUCCH and the PUCCH being a high-priority channel, discard the SRS;

[0110] Operation 6: In response to both the PUCCH and the PUCCH being low-priority channels, discard the PUCCH and the PUCCH.

[0111] For example, Operation 5 includes the following cases:

[0112] Case 1: The terminal device simultaneously transmits a high-priority PUCCH and a low-priority PUCCH. The time-domain resources occupied by the PUCCH and the PUCCH conflict with the time-domain resources occupied by the SRS. The terminal device discards the SRS;

[0113] Case 2: The terminal device simultaneously transmits a low-priority PUCCH and a low-priority PUCCH. The time-domain resources occupied by the PUCCH and the PUCCH conflict with the time-domain resources occupied by the SRS. The terminal device discards the PUCCH and the PUCCH;

[0114] Case 3: The terminal device simultaneously transmits a high-priority PUCCH and a high-priority PUCCH. The time-domain resources occupied by the PUCCH and the PUCCH conflict with the time-domain resources occupied by the SRS. The terminal device discards the SRS;

[0115] Case 4: The terminal device simultaneously transmits a low-priority PUCCH and a high-priority PUSCH. The time-domain resources occupied by the PUCCH and the PUCCH conflict with the time-domain resources occupied by the SRS. The terminal device discards the SRS.

[0116] It should be noted that the configuration of each priority in the above Embodiment 4 to Embodiment 8 can be configured by the network device for the terminal device, or can be specified by the communication standard protocol. This application does not limit this.
