[0002] In order to flexibly feed back HARQ information corresponding to a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), the base station can packetize the scheduled PDSCH, so that the terminal device receives the PDSCH and then performs corresponding HARQ feedback based on different packets.

[0029] As should be understood, the terms "system" and "network" are always used interchangeably in this specification. The term "and / or" in this specification is merely for describing the related relationship of related objects, and indicates that three relationships may exist. For example, "A and / or B" may indicate three situations: "A exists independently", "A and B exist simultaneously", and "B exists independently". In addition, the character " / " in this specification generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0030] In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the following describes the related technologies of the embodiments of the present application. The following related technologies can be arbitrarily combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and any such combinations fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0031] Unlicensed spectrum is spectrum that is divided by countries and regions and made available for wireless devices to communicate, and the spectrum is generally considered to be shared spectrum, i.e., communication devices in different communication systems can use the spectrum as long as they meet the regulatory requirements set by the country or region for the spectrum, and do not need to apply to the government for an exclusive spectrum license.

[0032] In order to allow communication systems that use unlicensed spectrum for wireless communication to coexist in the spectrum, some countries or regions have stipulated legal requirements that must be met in order to use unlicensed spectrum. For example, a communication device must follow the "Listen Before Talk" principle, that is, a communication device must perform channel sensing before transmitting a signal on a channel of an unlicensed spectrum, and the communication device can transmit a signal only if the channel sensing result is channel idle, and the communication device cannot transmit a signal if the channel sensing result of the communication device on a channel of an unlicensed spectrum is channel busy. To ensure fairness, the time during which a communication device transmits a signal using a channel of an unlicensed spectrum in one transmission must not exceed a maximum channel occupancy time (MCOT).

[0033] In the following, some basic concepts of signal transmission in unlicensed spectrum are described.

[0034] Maximum Channel Occupancy Time (MCOT) The maximum channel occupancy time refers to the maximum time length that a signal transmission is allowed to use a channel of an unlicensed spectrum after a successful LBT, and there are different MCOTs for different channel access priorities. Currently, the maximum value of MCOT is 10 ms. As can be understood, the MCOT is the occupancy time of a signal transmission.

[0035] Channel Occupancy Time (COT) The channel occupancy time refers to the time duration of signal transmission using a channel of the unlicensed spectrum after successful LBT, during which the signal occupancy may not be continuous. A COT should not exceed 20 ms at most, and the occupancy time of the signal transmission within the COT should not exceed MCOT.

[0036] Base station channel occupation time (gNB-initiated COT) The channel occupation time of the base station is also called the COT initiated by the base station, which refers to a channel occupation time acquired by the base station after the LBT is successful. The channel occupation time of the base station can be used not only for downlink transmission, but also for uplink transmission by the terminal device under certain conditions.

[0037] UE-initiated COT The channel occupancy time of the terminal device is also referred to as the COT initiated by the terminal device, and refers to one channel occupancy time acquired by the terminal device after the terminal device has successfully completed the LBT.

[0038] Downlink transmission opportunity (DL burst) The downlink transmission opportunity refers to a set of downlink transmissions (i.e., including one or more downlink transmissions) performed by a base station, where the set of downlink transmissions is continuous transmission (i.e., there is no gap between the multiple downlink transmissions), or there is a gap between the set of downlink transmissions, but the gap is less than or equal to 16 μs. If the gap between two downlink transmissions performed by a base station is greater than 16 μs, the two downlink transmissions are considered to belong to two downlink transmission opportunities.

[0039] Uplink transmission opportunity (UL burst) The uplink transmission opportunity refers to a set of uplink transmissions (i.e., including one or more uplink transmissions) performed by one terminal device, and the set of uplink transmissions is continuous transmission (i.e., there is no gap between multiple uplink transmissions), or there is a gap between the set of uplink transmissions, but the gap is less than or equal to 16 μs. If the gap between two uplink transmissions performed by the terminal device is greater than 16 μs, the two uplink transmissions are considered to belong to two uplink transmission opportunities.

[0040] In the NR system, it is supported to dynamically determine the HARQ feedback timing. The base station schedules the terminal device to receive the PDSCH through downlink control information (DCI), and the DCI includes indication information of a PUCCH resource for transmitting HARQ information corresponding to the PDSCH. Optionally, the indication information can be: PUCCH resource indicator information for determining a PUCCH resource; and HARQ timing indicator (PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator) information for dynamically determining the time domain location of the PUCCH resource. The HARQ timing indicator information is used to determine a value in a pre-defined HARQ timing set. For example, if the HARQ timing indicator information is 000, it indicates that the value in the HARQ timing set is 1, and if the HARQ timing indicator information is 001, it indicates that the value in the HARQ timing set is 2, etc.

[0041] Furthermore, in the case of dynamic codebook feedback, the DCI includes Downlink Assignment Index (DAI) information is further included, and the DAI information includes DAI count information and / or total DAI number information, where the DAI count information is used to indicate which PDSCH in the current HARQ feedback window the currently scheduled PDSCH is, and the total DAI number information is used to indicate how many PDSCHs are scheduled in total in the current HARQ feedback window.

[0042] Based on the above information, the terminal device can determine a PUCCH resource for feeding back HARQ information and a position in a codebook where the HARQ information is transmitted on the PUCCH resource.

[0043] When the NR system is applied to an unlicensed frequency band, it can support independent network construction, that is, provide auxiliary services independent of carriers in the licensed frequency band. In such a scenario, after receiving a PDSCH on an unlicensed carrier, the terminal device needs to transmit HARQ feedback corresponding to the PDSCH on the unlicensed carrier.

[0044] In an unlicensed frequency band, the HARQ timing indicator information can be used to determine a PUCCH time domain resource for transmitting HARQ information corresponding to a PDSCH, and can also be used to indicate that the HARQ information corresponding to the PDSCH is not currently being fed back. For example, a value k indicating an invalid resource indicator in a pre-configured HARQ timing set can be used to indicate that the HARQ information corresponding to the PDSCH is not currently being fed back. L If the HARQ timing indicator information is 111, k L , indicating that the corresponding PUCCH resource cannot be determined temporarily.

[0045] In addition, in order to flexibly feed back HARQ information corresponding to the PDSCH in the unlicensed frequency band, the base station packetizes the scheduled PDSCH; and Explicit SignalingThe PDSCH packetization information can be indicated by the PDSCH packetization information, so that the terminal device performs corresponding HARQ feedback based on different packets after receiving the PDSCH. When a set of HARQ information of the terminal device is not transmitted due to LBT failure during a certain transmission, or when the base station cannot detect a set of HARQ information that the terminal device expects to transmit in a certain PUCCH resource, the base station can trigger the terminal device to retransmit the set of HARQ information by DCI. When retransmitting a set of HARQ information, the terminal device may maintain the same codebook size as in the initial transmission, or may add new HARQ information during retransmission.

[0046] The terminal device needs to perform HARQ feedback based on packetization by the base station. However, since the packetization rules of the base station are not restricted, there may be a case where the terminal device is unable to feed back the PDSCH in a certain set of PDSCHs in the PUCCH feedback resource corresponding to the PDSCH in the set in time, and there may be a case where the PDSCH whose HARQ timing indicator information indicates a valid PUCCH resource and the PDSCH whose HARQ timing indicator information indicates an invalid PUCCH resource are separated into the same set. In such cases, it is not yet clear how the terminal device should determine the codebook for HARQ feedback. Therefore, the following technical proposal is proposed in the embodiments of the present application.

[0047] FIG. 2 is a schematic flow chart 1 of a HARQ codebook determination method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 2, the HARQ codebook determination method includes at least a part of the following contents:

[0048] In step 201, a terminal device determines a target channel set, the target channel set includes at least one channel, and a first channel in the target channel set corresponds to a first HARQ codebook.

[0049] In one alternative embodiment, the channels included in the target channel set are PDSCHs, and said target channel set may include one or more PDSCHs.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, each channel in the target channel group corresponds to one HARQ codebook, and the HARQ codebook is used to carry the feedback information of the corresponding channel. For the first channel in the target channel group, the first channel corresponds to a first HARQ codebook.

[0051] In one alternative embodiment, each channel in the target channel group is scheduled by one DCI. In one example, the base station transmits at least one DCI (used to schedule one set of PDSCHs), each DCI is used to schedule one PDSCH, and the DCI further includes indication information of a PUCCH resource for feeding back HARQ information corresponding to the PDSCH, such as HARQ timing indicator information. Here, the HARQ timing indicator information can be used to determine the time domain location of the PUCCH resource of the HARQ information corresponding to the PDSCH, and can also be used to indicate that the HARQ information corresponding to the PDSCH is not fed back temporarily.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, the base station packetizes the scheduled PDSCH; and Explicit Signaling In the DCI for scheduling the PDSCH, the base station may indicate the packetization information of the PDSCH in the DCI, so that the terminal device performs corresponding HARQ feedback based on different packets after receiving the PDSCH. Optionally, the base station may indicate the packetization information of the PDSCH in the DCI for scheduling the PDSCH.

[0053] In step 202, the terminal device determines a target HARQ codebook to be transmitted in a first uplink resource, the first uplink resource is a HARQ feedback resource corresponding to the target channel group, and if the first channel satisfies a first processing delay, the target HARQ codebook includes the first HARQ codebook, or if the first channel does not satisfy the first processing delay, the target HARQ codebook does not include the first HARQ codebook, or the target HARQ codebook does not include the valid first HARQ codebook.

[0054] In one alternative embodiment, in a downlink transmission opportunity in a COT initiated by a base station, the base station can transmit a plurality of channels (i.e., the target channel group) to a terminal device, and in order to feed back HARQ information (i.e., the target HARQ codebook) corresponding to the plurality of channels to the base station as quickly as possible, the base station can instruct the terminal device to feed back HARQ information (i.e., the target HARQ codebook) corresponding to the downlink transmission opportunity in a first uplink resource after the downlink transmission opportunity ends. If the first uplink resource belongs to a COT initiated by a base station, and the gap between the start position of the first uplink resource and the end position of the downlink transmission opportunity is less than or equal to a preset value (e.g., 16 μs), the terminal device can directly feed back HARQ information (i.e., the target HARQ codebook) in the first uplink resource after the gap ends. Or, if the first uplink resource belongs to a COT started by the base station, and the gap between the start position of the first uplink resource and the end position of the downlink transmission opportunity is greater than a preset value (e.g., 16 μs), the terminal device can perform a single-slot LBT within the gap, and feedback HARQ information (i.e., the target HARQ codebook) in the first uplink resource after the LBT is successful. However, for a scheduled channel (e.g., the first channel) located near the end position in the downlink transmission opportunity, due to processing capacity limitations, the terminal device may have difficulty in immediately performing corresponding HARQ feedback in the first uplink resource. In order to clarify the size of the target HARQ codebook, it is necessary to consider whether the first channel satisfies a first processing delay. Specifically, if the first channel satisfies the first processing delay, the target HARQ codebook includes the first HARQ codebook; or, if the first channel does not satisfy the first processing delay, the target HARQ codebook does not include the first HARQ codebook, or the target HARQ codebook does not include the valid first HARQ codebook.

[0055] In one alternative embodiment, the first processing delay is determined by at least one of a processing capability of the terminal device, a location of the first channel, and a location of the first uplink resource.

[0056] In one alternative embodiment, whether the first channel satisfies the first processing delay is determined by at least one of the processing capability of the terminal device, the location of the first channel, and the location of the first uplink resource.

[0057] In one alternative embodiment, the first channel includes at least a last channel in the target channel group.

[0058] In one alternative embodiment, the first channel includes the last channels in the target channel group.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the HARQ timing indicator information corresponding to the first channel can indicate that the feedback is not performed temporarily or can indicate the first uplink resource. Hereinafter, the method of determining the target HARQ codebook for these two situations will be described respectively.

[0060] (1) Instruct the HARQ timing indicator information corresponding to the first channel not to be fed back temporarily.

[0061] In such a case, the target HARQ codebook is determined as follows: A1) if the first channel satisfies a first processing delay, the target HARQ codebook includes the first HARQ codebook, and the first HARQ codebook is set to negative acknowledgement (NACK) or placeholder information; B1) if the first channel does not satisfy a first processing delay, the first HARQ codebook is not included in the target HARQ codebook.

[0062] (2) The HARQ timing indicator information corresponding to the first channel indicates the first uplink resource.

[0063] In such a case, the target HARQ codebook is determined as follows: A2) if the first channel satisfies a first processing delay, the target HARQ codebook includes the first HARQ codebook, and the first HARQ codebook is used to carry HARQ information of the first channel, optionally, the first HARQ codebook is determined according to a decoding situation of the first channel; B2) If the first channel does not satisfy the first processing delay, the target HARQ codebook does not include the valid first HARQ codebook, specifically, the target HARQ codebook includes the first HARQ codebook and the first HARQ codebook is set to NACK or placeholder information, or the target HARQ codebook does not include the first HARQ codebook.

[0064] In one optional embodiment, the target HARQ codebook determined by any one of the above three methods A1), B1), and B2) does not include a valid first HARQ codebook, or does not include HARQ feedback information determined according to the decoding status of the first channel, so that the terminal device determines a second uplink resource based on first indication information, and the second uplink resource is used to transmit the first HARQ codebook, and the first HARQ codebook is a valid first HARQ codebook, or the first HARQ codebook is determined according to the decoding status of the first channel.

[0065] In one alternative embodiment, the resource for transmitting the first indication information in the above solution is located after the first uplink resource.

[0066] The following describes the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application by taking specific application examples as examples.

[0067] When the base station packetizes the channel, it divides the channel whose feedback resource cannot be determined temporarily into one set and the channel whose feedback resource can be normally fed back into one set, and does not indicate the time domain location of the PUCCH resource for the channel whose feedback cannot be temporarily provided (i.e., the HARQ timing indicator information corresponding to the channel indicates that feedback is not performed temporarily, or the HARQ timing indicator information is invalid). As shown in FIG. 3, the base station schedules six PDSCHs to the terminal device in one downlink transmission opportunity, and the six PDSCHs belong to the same set, i.e., set 0, and the feedback resource indicated by the HARQ timing indicator information corresponding to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th PDSCHs of the six PDSCHs is PUCCH 0. For the sixth PDSCH, i.e., PDSCH 5, the base station indicates that feedback is not performed temporarily in the HARQ timing indicator information corresponding to the PDSCH (i.e., the feedback resource corresponding to the PDSCH is not determined temporarily). The HARQ codebook transmitted in PUCCH 0 includes HARQ information corresponding to the PDSCHs in set 0. The HARQ codebook corresponding to the PDSCH in set 0 included in the HARQ codebook transmitted on PUCCH 0 may include at least one of the following situations:

[0068] (I) For a first PDSCH (i.e., PDSCH 5 in FIG. 3) whose HARQ timing indicator information in the set indicates that the feedback is not performed temporarily, if the first PDSCH satisfies a first processing delay, whether the first PDSCH satisfies the first processing delay is determined by at least one of the processing capability of the terminal device, the position of the first PDSCH, and the position of PUCCH resource 0. For example, if the distance between the end position of the first PDSCH and the start position of PUCCH resource 0 is equal to or greater than the first processing delay, the first PDSCH may be considered to satisfy the first processing delay, and the first processing delay is determined based on the processing capability of the terminal device. Correspondingly, the HARQ codebook transmitted in PUCCH resource 0 includes a HARQ codebook corresponding to the first PDSCH. Optionally, the first PDSCH is the last one or the last consecutive PDSCHs in the transmission opportunity. Alternatively, the HARQ timing indicator information corresponding to the first PDSCH indicates that the HARQ timing indicator information is temporarily not fed back, so that the HARQ codebook corresponding to the first PDSCH is set to NACK or placeholder information, see Table 1 below.

[0070] (II) For the first PDSCH (i.e. PDSCH 5 in FIG. 3) whose HARQ timing indicator information in the set indicates that the feedback is not performed temporarily, if the first PDSCH does not satisfy the first processing delay, whether the first PDSCH satisfies the first processing delay is determined by at least one of the processing capability of the terminal device, the position of the first PDSCH, and the position of PUCCH resource 0. For example, if the distance between the end position of the first PDSCH and the start position of PUCCH resource 0 is smaller than the first processing delay, the first PDSCH may be considered not to satisfy the first processing delay, and the first processing delay is determined based on the processing capability of the terminal device. Correspondingly, the HARQ codebook transmitted in PUCCH resource 0 does not include the HARQ codebook corresponding to the first PDSCH, see Table 2 below. Optionally, the first PDSCH is the last one or the last consecutive PDSCHs in the transmission opportunity.

[0071] [Table 2]

[0072] In addition to the above two situations in which the HARQ timing indicator information corresponding to the first channel indicates that feedback is not temporarily performed, there are also the following two situations in which the HARQ timing indicator information corresponding to the first channel indicates a valid uplink resource:

[0073] (III) For the first PDSCH whose HARQ timing indicator information in the set indicates a valid PUCCH resource (assuming that PDSCH 5 in FIG. 3 is the first PDSCH and the corresponding HARQ timing indicator information indicates 1), if the first PDSCH satisfies the first processing delay, whether the first PDSCH satisfies the first processing delay is determined by at least one of the processing capability of the terminal device, the position of the first PDSCH, and the position of PUCCH resource 0. For example, if the distance between the end position of the first PDSCH and the start position of PUCCH resource 0 is equal to or greater than the first processing delay, the first PDSCH may be considered to satisfy the first processing delay, and the first processing delay is determined based on the processing capability of the terminal device. Correspondingly, the HARQ codebook transmitted in PUCCH resource 0 includes a HARQ codebook corresponding to the first PDSCH, and the HARQ codebook corresponding to the first PDSCH is determined according to the decoding situation of the first PDSCH. See Table 3 below. Optionally, the first PDSCH is the last or last consecutive PDSCHs in the transmission opportunity.

[0074] [Table 3]

[0075] ( IV) For a first PDSCH whose HARQ timing indicator information in the set indicates a valid PUCCH resource (assuming that PDSCH 5 in FIG. 3 is the first PDSCH and the corresponding HARQ timing indicator information indicates 1), if the first PDSCH does not satisfy the first processing delay, whether the first PDSCH satisfies the first processing delay is determined by at least one of the processing capability of the terminal device, the position of the first PDSCH, and the position of PUCCH resource 0. For example, if the distance between the end position of the first PDSCH and the start position of PUCCH resource 0 is smaller than the first processing delay, it may be considered that the first PDSCH does not satisfy the first processing delay, and the first processing delay is determined based on the processing capability of the terminal device. Correspondingly, the HARQ codebook transmitted in PUCCH resource 0 includes a HARQ codebook corresponding to the first PDSCH, and the HARQ codebook corresponding to the first PDSCH is set to NACK or placeholder information, see above Table 1; or the HARQ codebook transmitted in PUCCH resource 0 does not include a HARQ codebook corresponding to the first PDSCH, see above Table 2. Optionally, the first PDSCH is the last one or the last consecutive PDSCHs in the transmission opportunity.

[0076] Further, in one alternative embodiment, for any one of the above three situations (I), (II), and (III), as shown in Fig. 4, the terminal device determines that the feedback resource is PUCCH 1 according to the first indication information of the base station, and feeds back a first HARQ codebook corresponding to the first PDSCH (i.e., PDSCH 5) through PUCCH 1, where the first HARQ codebook is a valid first HARQ codebook, or the first HARQ codebook is determined according to the decoding situation of the first PDSCH. Optionally, the first indication information may be downlink license information, or uplink license information, or other DCI information whose length is equal to the downlink license information or uplink license information, or common DCI information. Optionally, the first indication information is received after the feedback resource PUCCH 0.

[0077] According to the HARQ codebook determination method of the embodiment of the present application, when a situation occurs in which a PDSCH in a certain set of PDSCHs cannot be fed back in time in the PUCCH feedback resource corresponding to the PDSCH in the set, or when a PDSCH whose HARQ timing indicator information indicates a valid PUCCH resource and a PDSCH whose HARQ timing indicator information indicates an invalid PUCCH resource are separated into the same set, the network device and the terminal device can have the same understanding of the codebook size, thereby avoiding the problem that the network device cannot correctly receive the HARQ codebook in the uplink resource due to the mismatch in understanding.

[0078] FIG. 5 is a schematic flow chart 2 of a HARQ codebook determination method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 5, the HARQ codebook determination method includes at least a part of the following contents:

[0079] In step 501, a network device determines a first uplink resource, the first uplink resource is used to transmit a target HARQ codebook corresponding to a target channel group, the target channel group includes at least one channel, and a first channel in the target channel group corresponds to a first HARQ codebook.

[0080] In one alternative embodiment, the network device is a base station, e.g. a gNB.

[0081] In one alternative embodiment, the first uplink resource is a PUCCH resource.

[0082] In one alternative embodiment, the channels included in the target channel set are PDSCHs, and the target channel set may include one or more PDSCHs.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, each channel in the target channel group corresponds to one HARQ codebook, and the HARQ codebook is used to carry the feedback information of the corresponding channel. For the first channel in the target channel group, the first channel corresponds to the first HARQ codebook. For the target channel group, the target channel group corresponds to the target HARQ codebook. Corresponding to .

[0084] In step 502, the network device determines the target HARQ codebook, and if the first channel satisfies a first processing delay, the target HARQ codebook includes the first HARQ codebook, or if the first channel does not satisfy a first processing delay, the target HARQ codebook does not include the first HARQ codebook, or the target HARQ codebook does not include the valid first HARQ codebook.

[0085] In one alternative embodiment, take the case where the network device is a base station as an example, in a downlink transmission opportunity in a COT started by the base station, the base station can transmit a plurality of channels (i.e., the target channel group) to a terminal device, and in order to make the base station feed back HARQ information (i.e., the target HARQ codebook) corresponding to the plurality of channels as quickly as possible, the base station can instruct the terminal device to feed back HARQ information (i.e., the target HARQ codebook) corresponding to the downlink transmission opportunity in a first uplink resource after the downlink transmission opportunity ends. If the first uplink resource belongs to a COT started by the base station, and the gap between the start position of the first uplink resource and the end position of the downlink transmission opportunity is less than or equal to a preset value (e.g., 16 μs), the terminal device can directly feed back HARQ information (i.e., the target HARQ codebook) in the first uplink resource after the gap ends. Or, if the first uplink resource belongs to a COT started by the base station, and the gap between the start position of the first uplink resource and the end position of the downlink transmission opportunity is greater than a preset value (e.g., 16 μs), the terminal device can perform a single-slot LBT within the gap, and feedback HARQ information (i.e., the target HARQ codebook) in the first uplink resource after the LBT is successful. However, for a scheduled channel (e.g., the first channel) located near the end position in the downlink transmission opportunity, due to processing capacity limitations, the terminal device may have difficulty in immediately performing corresponding HARQ feedback in the first uplink resource.In order to clarify the size of the target HARQ codebook, it is necessary to consider whether the first channel satisfies a first processing delay. Specifically, if the first channel satisfies the first processing delay, the target HARQ codebook includes the first HARQ codebook; or, if the first channel does not satisfy the first processing delay, the target HARQ codebook does not include the first HARQ codebook, or the target HARQ codebook does not include the valid first HARQ codebook.

[0086] In one alternative embodiment, the first processing delay is determined by at least one of a processing capability of the terminal device, a location of the first channel, and a location of the first uplink resource.

[0087] In one alternative embodiment, whether the first channel satisfies the first processing delay is determined by at least one of the processing capability of the terminal device, the location of the first channel, and the location of the first uplink resource.

[0088] In one alternative embodiment, the first channel includes at least a last channel in the target channel group.

[0089] In one alternative embodiment, the first channel includes the last channels in the target channel group.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, the HARQ timing indicator information corresponding to the first channel can indicate that the feedback is not performed temporarily or can indicate the first uplink resource. Hereinafter, the method of determining the target HARQ codebook for these two situations will be described respectively.

[0093] (2) The HARQ timing indicator information corresponding to the first channel indicates the first uplink resource.

[0094] In such a case, the target HARQ codebook is determined as follows: A2) if the first channel satisfies a first processing delay, the target HARQ codebook includes the first HARQ codebook, and the first HARQ codebook is used to carry HARQ information of the first channel, optionally, the first HARQ codebook is determined according to a decoding situation of the first channel; B2) If the first channel does not satisfy the first processing delay, the target HARQ codebook does not include the valid first HARQ codebook, specifically, the target HARQ codebook includes the first HARQ codebook and the first HARQ codebook is set to NACK or placeholder information, or the target HARQ codebook does not include the first HARQ codebook.

[0095] Furthermore, in one optional embodiment, the target HARQ codebook determined by any one of the above three schemes A1), B1), and B2) does not include a valid first HARQ codebook, or does not include HARQ feedback information determined according to the decoding status of the first channel, so that the terminal device determines a second uplink resource based on first indication information, and the second uplink resource is used to transmit the first HARQ codebook, and the first HARQ codebook is a valid first HARQ codebook, or the first HARQ codebook is determined according to the decoding status of the first channel.

[0096] In one alternative embodiment, the resource for transmitting the first indication information in the above solution is located after the first uplink resource.
