When the high / low - priority HARQ - ACK PUCCH of the multicast PDSCH overlaps with other uplink channels, it is necessary to solve the problem of how the UE should process the colliding channels in what way.

[0014] The following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

However, the following description describes the New Radio (NR) system for illustrative purposes and uses NR terms in most of the following descriptions. These technologies may also be applied to applications other than NR system applications, such as the sixth generation (6 th Generation, 6G) communication system.

[0017] FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a wireless communication system to which the embodiments of the present application are applicable. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network-side device 12. Here, the terminal 11 may also be referred to as a terminal device or a user equipment (UE). The terminal 11 may be a terminal-side device such as a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, a laptop computer (or called a notebook computer), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a palm-top computer, a netbook, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a mobile internet device (MID), a wearable device, or a vehicle user equipment (VUE), a pedestrian user equipment (PUE), etc. The wearable device includes a bracelet, earphones, glasses, etc. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the specific type of the terminal 11 is not limited. The network-side device 12 may be a base station or a core network. Here, the base station may be called a Node B, an evolved Node B, an access point, a base transceiver station (BTS), a radio base station, a radio transceiver, a basic service set (BSS), an extended service set (ESS), a B node, an evolved B node (eNB), a home Node B, a home evolved B node, a WLAN access point, a WiFi node, a transmitting receiving point (TRP), or other appropriate terms in the art. As long as the same technical effect is achieved, the base station is not limited to the specified technical terms. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, only the base station in the NR system is taken as an example, but the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0018] In order to better understand the embodiments of the present application, the following content will be introduced first.

[0019] Compared to conventional mobile communication systems, the fifth generation (5G) th Mobile communication systems for the next-generation (5G) mobile communications systems need to adapt to more diverse scenarios and business demands. The main scenarios of 5G include Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC), and Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC), which require high reliability, low latency, wide bandwidth, wide coverage, and so on. Some UEs may support different services, for example, a UE may support URLLC ultra-reliable and ultra-low latency service and at the same time support high-capacity and high-rate eMBB service. In the NR system, different channels may have different starting symbols and lengths, which may cause the time domains of transmission resources to overlap. Generally, in order to maintain the uplink single carrier characteristic, if multiple overlapping PUCCHs are transmitted in one slot, the single carrier characteristic of the UE may be destroyed, and the difference in transmission power may cause degradation of channel estimation performance. This situation is generally regarded as a kind of conflict, and a corresponding conflict resolution scheme needs to be designed to combine and discard some information.

[0020] Version 15 (Rel-15) PUCCH and PUCCH or PUCCH and PUSCH multiplexing Uplink control information (UCI) is transmitted on the PUCCH. Uplink data is transmitted on the PUSCH. Due to reasons such as the start symbol and symbol length, there may be a temporal overlap between different PUCCHs or between the PUCCH and the PUSCH. In principle, the PUCCH and the PUSCH may be transmitted simultaneously, that is, the UCI may be carried on the PUCCH. However, this increases the cubic metric, and also meets the out-of-band transmission requirements with a higher transmission power, and the relatively large interval in the frequency domain when the PUSCH and the PUCCH are transmitted simultaneously (the PUCCH is generally transmitted at both ends of the frequency band) poses challenges to the implementation of radio frequency (RF). Therefore, in normal cases, when the time-domain resources of the PUCCHs that need to transmit the UCI overlap or the PUCCH resources of the UCI to be transmitted and the PUSCH resources overlap in time, and when the base station schedules this PUCCH / PUSCH, it is ensured that the conditions of the UCI multiplexing processing time are met, so that the UCI is multiplexed into one PUCCH or the UCI and the data are multiplexed into the PUSCH, avoiding simultaneously transmitting different PUCCHs or simultaneously transmitting the PUCCH and the PUSCH. Specifically, refer to Figure 2.

[0021] In the current protocol, the timeline during the multiplexing of the PUCCH and the PUCCH, or the PUCCH and the PUSCH, that is, the predefined timeline that the multiplexing between PUCCHs or UCI multiplexing needs to meet in the PUSCH is defined. If the scheduling on the network side does not meet this timeline, it is regarded as an error case.

[0022] Processing order of PUCCH-to-PUCCH multiplexing or UCI multiplexing in PUSCH In a single PUCCH group, multiple PUCCHs may overlap with each other. One PUCCH may further overlap with multiple PUSCHs. To solve the time-domain resource overlapping problem among multiple uplink transmission channels, in NR Rel-15, the processing order of UE uplink multiplexing is defined, specifically as follows.

[0023] 1) In one time unit, if there are multiple PUCCHs and at least two PUCCHs overlap with each other, the UE first resolves the overlap between PUCCHs, and then obtains at most two non-overlapping PUCCHs. 2) For a certain PUCCH output in 1), if this PUCCH does not overlap with a PUSCH, the UE transmits this PUCCH. If this PUCCH overlaps with a PUSCH, the UE multiplexes and transmits the UCI (excluding SR) carried by this PUCCH to a certain overlapping PUSCH according to certain rules.

[0024] Multiplexing and Priority of Uplink Transmission within UE in Version 16 (Rel-16) To support different service requirements, Rel-16 introduces different physical layer priorities, supports the following collision scenarios, and defines the behavior of the UE for the following collision scenarios.

[0025] (1) For high-priority (HP) uplink transmission vs high-priority uplink transmission, the UE processes according to the Rel-15 method. (2) For low-priority (LP) uplink transmission vs low-priority uplink transmission, the UE processes according to the Rel-15 method. (3) For high-priority uplink transmission vs low-priority uplink transmission, the UE transmits the high-priority uplink transmission and cancels the low-priority uplink transmission.

[0026] Similarly, in order to endow the UE with sufficient capabilities to cancel the transmission of low-priority PUCCH / PUSCH and transmit high-priority PUCCH / PUSCH, the base station needs to meet certain timeline requirements when scheduling PUCCH / PUSCH, and the timeline for PUCCH and PUCCH, or PUCCH and PUSCH priority is defined in the current protocol.

[0027] Multicast Broadcast Service and Its Feedback Currently, the NR technology has evolved through two versions, Rel-15 and Rel-16, and although it does not support broadcast / multicast features in these two versions, there are many important use cases. For example, in public safety and mission critical, vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) applications, transparent Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) / Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) multicast delivery, Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), software delivery over wireless, group communications and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, etc., the broadcast / multicast features can provide a substantial improvement, especially in terms of system efficiency and user experience. Therefore, in the next version 17 (Rel-17), NR will introduce broadcast / multicast features. The broadcast multicast service is mainly transmitted by the group common PDSCH. The UE can receive the group common PDSCH and the unicast PDSCH simultaneously.For the group common PDSCH, the UE can feedback its HARQ-ACK information, which is the same as the HARQ-ACK information of the unicast PDSCH, and can be divided into high-priority HARQ-ACK and low-priority HARQ-ACK. The low-priority HARQ-ACK of the unicast PDSCH and / or CSI / low-priority SR and the low-priority HARQ-ACK of the multicast PDSCH may be multiplexed together, and the high-priority HARQ-ACK of the unicast PDSCH and / or high-priority SR and the high-priority HARQ-ACK of the multicast PDSCH may be multiplexed together.

[0028] In NR, the processing order when uplink transmission channels PUCCH / PUSCH transmissions of different types and different priorities collide is defined. At the same time, when the HARQ-ACK and CSI / SR of the unicast PDSCH overlap with the HARQ-ACK of the multicast PDSCH, multiplexing is also supported. However, when HARQ-ACK PUCCHs of different priorities including the multicast PDSCH collide with other uplink transmission channels, it is necessary to solve how to determine the processing order of different channels / priorities.

[0029] In the following, the method and apparatus according to the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail by specific embodiments and their application scenarios while combining the drawings.

[0030] Referring to Figure 3, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for processing time-domain resource overlap of PUCCH. The execution entity of this method may be a terminal, and the specific steps include step 301.

[0031] Step 301: If there are a first HARQ-ACK and a second HARQ-ACK with the same priority, and the time-domain resources of the PUCCH carrying the first HARQ-ACK and the PUCCH carrying the second HARQ-ACK overlap, or the PUCCH carrying the first HARQ-ACK and the PUCCH carrying the second HARQ-ACK are in the same time unit and the terminal does not support transmitting the PUCCHs of two HARQ-ACKs with the same priority in one time unit, the terminal multiplexes the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK onto one PUCCH. The first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK with the same priority refer to the case where the priorities of the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK are the same or the corresponding priority indices are the same. For example, both the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK are of high priority, and the corresponding priority index is 1, or both the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK are of low priority, and the corresponding priority index is 0.

[0032] The above first HARQ-ACK includes the HARQ-ACK of the group common PDSCH and / or the HARQ-ACK of the group common PDCCH. For the sake of understanding, there may be multiple first HARQ-ACKs. All of these multiple first HARQ-ACKs may be the HARQ-ACKs of the group common PDSCH, or all of these multiple first HARQ-ACKs may be the HARQ-ACKs of the group common PDCCH, or some of these multiple first HARQ-ACKs are the HARQ-ACKs of the group common PDSCH and the other part are the HARQ-ACKs of the group common PDCCH. The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit this. The above second HARQ-ACK includes the HARQ-ACK of the unicast PDSCH and / or the HARQ-ACK of the unicast PDCCH, and the priorities of the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK are the same. For the sake of understanding, there may be multiple second HARQ-ACKs. All of these multiple second HARQ-ACKs may be the HARQ-ACKs of the unicast PDSCH, or all of these multiple second HARQ-ACKs may be the HARQ-ACKs of the unicast PDCCH, or some of these multiple second HARQ-ACKs are the HARQ-ACKs of the unicast PDSCH and the other part are the HARQ-ACKs of the unicast PDCCH. The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit this.

[0033] Specifically, the first HARQ-ACK is the HARQ-ACK of the group common PDSCH and / or the HARQ-ACK of the group common PDCCH that activates or releases the semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) PDSCH. The second HARQ-ACK is the HARQ-ACK of the unicast PDSCH, and / or the HARQ-ACK of the unicast PDCCH that activates or releases the SPS PDSCH, and / or the HARQ-ACK of the PDCCH that instructs the dormancy of the secondary cell (Scell), and / or the HARQ-ACK of the PDCCH that triggers the type 3 codebook.

[0034] It should be noted that the group common PDSCH or group common PDCCH may also be referred to as the group cast / multicast PDSCH or group cast / multicast PDCCH, and mainly refers to the PDSCH or PDCCH transmitted to multiple receivers on the same physical resource.

[0035] In the embodiments of the present application, when the time domain resources of the PUCCH carrying the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK with the same priority overlap, or the PUCCH carrying the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK is in the same time unit, and the terminal does not support transmitting the PUCCHs of two HARQ-ACKs with the same priority in one time unit, the terminal multiplexes the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK into one PUCCH, so that it can be applied to the HARQ-ACK scenario including the group common PDSCH, and provides a processing method for the time domain resource overlap of the uplink channel PUCCH to improve the efficiency of the communication system.

[0036] It should be noted that hereinafter, for the sake of brevity of description, the first HARQ-ACK is collectively referred to as M HARQ-ACK, the second HARQ-ACK is collectively referred to as U HARQ-ACK, and correspondingly, the PUCCH carrying the first HARQ-ACK is collectively referred to as M HARQ-ACK PUCCH, and the PUCCH carrying the second HARQ-ACK is collectively referred to as U HARQ-ACK PUCCH. Furthermore, the first HARQ-ACK with high priority is collectively referred to as M HP HARQ-ACK, the corresponding PUCCH is collectively referred to as M HP HARQ-ACK PUCCH, the first HARQ-ACK with low priority is collectively referred to as M LP HARQ-ACK, the corresponding PUCCH is collectively referred to as M LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH, the second HARQ-ACK with high priority is collectively referred to as U HP HARQ-ACK, the corresponding PUCCH is collectively referred to as U HP HARQ-ACK PUCCH, the second HARQ-ACK with low priority is collectively referred to as U LP HARQ-ACK, and the corresponding PUCCH is collectively referred to as U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH.

[0037] In one possible embodiment, the terminal multiplexes the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK on one PUCCH based on a preset rule. The above preset rule includes any one of the following.

[0038] (1) When the terminal multiplexes the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK on the first PUCCH and the time-domain resources of the PUCCH carrying the first PUCCH, channel state information CSI and / or scheduling request SR overlap, the terminal multiplexes the first HARQ-ACK, the second HARQ-ACK, and CSI and / or SR on the second PUCCH, and CSI and / or SR have the same priority as the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK. In the embodiments of this application, there is a possibility that at least one of the PUCCH (hereinafter collectively referred to as CSI PUCCH and / or SR PUCCH) that carries CSI and / or SR overlaps with at least one of M HARQ-ACK PUCCH and U HARQ-ACK PUCCH, or when CSI PUCCH and / or SR PUCCH does not overlap with at least one of M HARQ-ACK PUCCH and U HARQ-ACK PUCCH, for these two situations, the terminal may use the above multiplexing method, that is, first multiplex M HARQ-ACK and U HARQ-ACK into one PUCCH, for example, multiplex them into PUCCH1. For the sake of understanding, since the priorities of M HARQ-ACK and U HARQ-ACK are the same, after multiplexing the two into one PUCCH, the priority remains the same as before. When this PUCCH1 overlaps with CSI PUCCH and / or SR PUCCH of the same priority, the terminal further multiplexes HARQ-ACK (that is, including M HARQ-ACK and U HARQ-ACK) in PUCCH1 with CSI and / or SR into one PUCCH, for example, multiplex them into PUCCH2.

[0039] It should be noted that for the high priority and low priority of SR, they may be collectively referred to as HP SR and LP SR respectively.

[0040] (2) When the time domain resources of the PUCCH that carries CSI and / or SR overlap with the PUCCH that carries the first HARQ-ACK, and / or the time domain resources of the PUCCH that carries CSI and / or SR overlap with the PUCCH that carries the second HARQ-ACK, the terminal multiplexes the first HARQ-ACK, the second HARQ-ACK, and CSI and / or SR into a third PUCCH. CSI and / or SR has the same priority as the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK. In an embodiment of the present application, when at least one of CSI PUCCH and / or SR PUCCH overlaps with M HARQ-ACK PUCCH and U HARQ-ACK PUCCH, the terminal multiplexes and transmits M HARQ-ACK, U HARQ-ACK, and CSI and / or SR on one PUCCH.

[0041] Specifically, in one possible embodiment, the terminal determines a third PUCCH from a PUCCH resource set corresponding to a first HARQ-ACK or a PUCCH resource set corresponding to a second HARQ-ACK based on a first number of bits, where the first number of bits is the sum of the number of bits of the first HARQ-ACK, the second HARQ-ACK, and CSI and / or SR. In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal determines one PUCCH from a PUCCH resource set corresponding to M HARQ-ACK or a PUCCH resource set corresponding to U HARQ-ACK based on the multiplexed number of bits. For example, two PUCCH-configs are configured for the terminal. The PUCCH resource set 1 configured with one PUCCH-config is used for U HARQ-ACK transmission, and the PUCCH resource set 2 (PUCCH resource set) configured with the other PUCCH-config is used for M HARQ-ACK transmission. After M HARQ-ACK and U HARQ-ACK are multiplexed, one PUCCH resource is determined from PUCCH resource set 1 or PUCCH resource set 2 to transmit the multiplexed HARQ-ACK.

[0042] For a special scenario, when the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK are each 1 bit and the overlapping channel is only SR PUCCH (without CSI PUCCH), the terminal determines the multiplexing method of the first HARQ-ACK, the second HARQ-ACK, and SR based on the format of the third PUCCH and the state of SR.

[0043] For example, M HARQ-ACK and U HARQ-ACK are each only 1 bit. Assume that M HARQ-ACK and U HARQ-ACK are multiplexed onto U HARQ-ACK PUCCH or M HARQ-ACK PUCCH and then multiplexed onto HARQ-ACK PUCCH, and M HARQ-ACK and U HARQ-ACK are transmitted on the PUCCH as 2-bit HARQ-ACK.

[0044] Specifically, determining the multiplexing method of the first HARQ-ACK, the second HARQ-ACK, and the SR based on the above-mentioned third PUCCH format and the SR state includes the following.

[0045] (1) When the third PUCCH format is PUCCH format 0 and the SR state is positive, multiplex the SR onto the HARQ-ACK PUCCH. (2) When the third PUCCH format is PUCCH format 1, the SR PUCCH format is PUCCH format 1, and the SR state is positive, multiplex M HARQ-ACK and U HARQ-ACK onto the SR PUCCH. When the third PUCCH format is PUCCH format 1, the SR PUCCH format is PUCCH format 1, and the SR state is negative, transmit this third PUCCH.

[0046] When the time-domain resources of the PUCCH carrying CSI and / or SR overlap with the time-domain resources of the PUCCH carrying the first HARQ-ACK, and / or when the time-domain resources of the PUCCH carrying CSI and / or SR overlap with the time-domain resources of the PUCCH carrying the second HARQ-ACK, the terminal multiplexes the second HARQ-ACK with CSI and / or SR on a fourth PUCCH. When the time-domain resources of the fourth PUCCH carrying CSI and / or SR overlap with the time-domain resources of the PUCCH carrying the first HARQ-ACK, the terminal multiplexes the first HARQ-ACK, the second HARQ-ACK, and CSI and / or SR on a fifth PUCCH. CSI and / or SR have the same priority as the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK.

[0047] In the embodiments of the present application, when at least one of the CSI PUCCH and / or SR PUCCH overlaps with the M HARQ-ACK PUCCH and the U HARQ-ACK PUCCH, the terminal first multiplexes the U HARQ-ACK with CSI and / or SR. If the multiplexed PUCCH overlaps with the M HARQ-ACK PUCCH or the two do not overlap but the terminal does not support transmitting two HARQ-ACK PUCCHs with the same priority in one time unit, the terminal multiplexes this multiplexed PUCCH with the M HARQ-ACK PUCCH, that is, multiplexes the M HARQ-ACK, U HARQ-ACK, and CSI and / or SR on one PUCCH. Or if the terminal supports transmitting two HARQ-ACK PUCCHs with the same priority in one time unit, the terminal transmits the PUCCH multiplexed with the M HARQ-ACK PUCCH, U HARQ-ACK, CSI, and SR respectively.

[0048] It should be noted that when both terminals support transmitting two HARQ-ACK PUCCHs with the same priority in one time unit, both terminals may support transmitting the U HARQ-ACK PUCCH and the M HARQ-ACK PUCCH with the same priority in one time unit.

[0049] In one possible embodiment, by default, even if the terminal does not support the transmission of two HARQ-ACK PUCCHs with the same priority in one time unit (for example, one HARQ-ACK PUCCH corresponds to unicast PDSCH / PDCCH, and one HARQ-ACK PUCCH corresponds to group common PDSCH / PDCCH), that is, the PUCCH multiplexed with U HARQ-ACK and CSI and / or SR is directly multiplexed with M HARQ-ACK PUCCH, regardless of whether their time domain resources overlap.

[0050] In some embodiments, there are a first HARQ-ACK and a second HARQ-ACK with the same priority, and a first HARQ-ACK and a second HARQ-ACK with different priorities, and there is a case where the time domain resources of the PUCCH carrying the first HARQ-ACK with different priorities overlap with the PUCCH carrying the second HARQ-ACK. Specifically, the existence of the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK with the same priority, and the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK with different priorities as described above includes any one of the following.

[0051] (1) The terminal configures or schedules a PUCCH carrying a first HARQ-ACK with a first priority, a PUCCH carrying a first HARQ-ACK with a second priority, and a PUCCH carrying a second HARQ-ACK with the first priority. That is, the terminal configures or schedules M LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH, M HP HARQ-ACK PUCCH, and U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH.

[0052] (2) The terminal configures or schedules a PUCCH carrying a first HARQ-ACK with a first priority, a PUCCH carrying a first HARQ-ACK with a second priority, and a PUCCH carrying a second HARQ-ACK with the second priority. That is, the terminal configured or scheduled M LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH, M HP HARQ-ACK PUCCH, and U HP HARQ-ACK PUCCH.

[0053] (3) The terminal configures or schedules a PUCCH that carries a first HARQ-ACK with a first priority, a PUCCH that carries a second HARQ-ACK with the first priority, and a PUCCH that carries a second HARQ-ACK with a second priority. That is, the terminal configured or scheduled M LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH, U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH, and U HP HARQ-ACK PUCCH.

[0054] (4) The terminal configures or schedules a PUCCH that carries a first HARQ-ACK with a second priority, a PUCCH that carries a second HARQ-ACK with the first priority, and a PUCCH that carries a second HARQ-ACK with the second priority. That is, the terminal configured or scheduled M HP HARQ-ACK PUCCH, U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH, and U HP HARQ-ACK PUCCH.

[0055] (5) The terminal configures or schedules a PUCCH that carries a first HARQ-ACK with a first priority, a PUCCH that carries a first HARQ-ACK with a second priority, a PUCCH that carries a second HARQ-ACK with the first priority, and a PUCCH that carries a second HARQ-ACK with the second priority.

[0056] That is, the terminal configured or scheduled M LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH, M HP HARQ-ACK PUCCH, U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH, and U HP HARQ-ACK PUCCH.

[0057] Specifically, there are a first HARQ-ACK and a second HARQ-ACK with the same priority, and a first HARQ-ACK and a second HARQ-ACK with different priorities. When the time-domain resources of the PUCCH carrying the first HARQ-ACK with different priorities and the PUCCH carrying the second HARQ-ACK overlap, this method includes the following processing methods. Here, the second priority is higher than the first priority.

[0058] Method 1: (1) The terminal cancels the transmission of the PUCCH carrying the first HARQ-ACK with the first priority and / or the PUCCH carrying the second HARQ-ACK with the first priority. (2) The terminal multiplexes the first HARQ-ACK with the second priority and the second HARQ-ACK with the second priority onto a sixth PUCCH based on a pre-set rule. In the embodiments of this application, the terminal first discards or cancels the transmission of the low-priority HARQ-ACK PUCCH, and then multiplexes the high-priority HARQ-ACK onto one PUCCH for transmission.

[0059] Method 2: The terminal multiplexes the first HARQ-ACK with the first priority and the second HARQ-ACK with the first priority onto a seventh PUCCH based on a pre-set rule. When the time-domain resources of the seventh PUCCH and the PUCCH carrying the first HARQ-ACK with the second priority overlap, and / or the time-domain resources of the seventh PUCCH and the PUCCH carrying the second HARQ-ACK with the second priority overlap, the terminal cancels the transmission of the seventh PUCCH. The terminal multiplexes the first HARQ-ACK with the second priority and the second HARQ-ACK with the second priority onto an eighth PUCCH based on a pre-set rule. In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal first multiplexes low-priority HARQ-ACKs onto one PUCCH according to a preset rule for the same-priority HARQ-ACK multiplexing described above. Next, the terminal processes the overlap between the multiplexed PUCCH and the high-priority HARQ-ACK PUCCH, that is, discards or cancels the transmission of the low-priority HARQ-ACK PUCCH. Finally, the terminal multiplexes high-priority HARQ-ACKs onto one PUCCH according to the preset rule. If there is a low-priority PUCCH that overlaps with the resource of the high-priority HARQ-ACK PUCCH, the overlapping low-priority PUCCH is discarded or canceled.

[0060] Method 3: Based on a preset rule, the terminal multiplexes the first HARQ-ACK of the first priority and the second HARQ-ACK of the first priority onto the ninth PUCCH. Based on a preset rule, the terminal multiplexes the first HARQ-ACK of the second priority and the second HARQ-ACK of the second priority onto the tenth PUCCH. If the time-domain resources of the ninth PUCCH and the tenth PUCCH overlap, the terminal cancels the transmission of the ninth PUCCH. In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal first performs multiplexing on high-priority HARQ-ACKs and low-priority HARQ-ACKs respectively according to the preset rule, and then performs an overlap process on the two multiplexed PUCCHs, that is, discards or cancels the transmission of the low-priority HARQ-ACK PUCCH.

[0061] Hereinafter, the method for processing the time-domain resource overlap of the PUCCH of the present application will be described in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0062] Example 1: When the resources of the low-priority HARQ-ACK PUCCH (U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH) of the unicast PDSCH and the low-priority HARQ-ACK PUCCH (M LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH) of the group-common PDSCH collide, the UE multiplexes and transmits the U LP HARQ-ACK and the M LP HARQ-ACK on one PUCCH. However, at this time, if there are further CSI PUCCH and / or LP SR PUCCH on the overlapping channel, the UE needs to further multiplex the CSI and / or LP SR together. Here, the UE may process the overlapping PUCCH channels in the following manner.

[0063] Method 1: Referring to Figure 4a, the UE first multiplexes the U LP HARQ-ACK and the M LP HARQ-ACK on one channel. Assuming multiplexing on PUCCH1, if PUCCH1 overlaps with CSI and / or LP SR, the UE multiplexes the U LP HARQ-ACK, the M LP HARQ-ACK, CSI and / or LP SR on one channel.

[0064] Method 2: Referring to Figure 4b, the UE multiplexes the U LP HARQ-ACK, the M LP HARQ-ACK, CSI and / or LP SR on one PUCCH channel.

[0065] Method 3: Referring to FIG. 4c, the UE first processes the overlap between the U LP HARQ-ACK and the CSI / LP SR PUCCH. For example, the UE multiplexes the U LP HARQ-ACK and the CSI / LP SR onto one PUCCH. This channel can be the U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH (e.g., when the U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH is PUCCH format 0 and the U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH and the LP SR are multiplexed), or the LP SR PUCCH (e.g., when the U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH is PUCCH format 1 and both the U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH and the LP SR PUCCH are PUCCH format 1 and they are multiplexed), or the CSI PUCCH (e.g., when the U LP HARQ-ACK is the HARQ-ACK feedback from the SPS PDSCH, i.e., there is no PDCCH corresponding to the U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH and the U LP HARQ-ACK and the CSI PUCCH are multiplexed), or the PUCCH determined based on the number of bits of the multiplexed UCI (e.g., when there is a PDCCH corresponding to the U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH or the CSI PUCCH is a multi-CSI PUCCH). Assume that the UE multiplexes the U LP HARQ-ACK and the CSI and / or LP SR onto PUCCH1. When PUCCH1 overlaps with the M LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH, the UE further multiplexes the UCI carried by PUCCH1 with the M LP HARQ-ACK. If PUCCH1 does not overlap with the M LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH and the UE supports transmitting a PUCCH that carries two HARQ-ACKs with the same priority in one time unit (e.g., a slot), the UE transmits PUCCH1 and the M LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH respectively. If the UE does not support transmitting a PUCCH that carries two HARQ-ACKs with the same priority in one time unit, the UE multiplexes the UCI carried by the M LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH and PUCCH1 onto one PUCCH, or the UE transmits one of PUCCH1 and the M LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH and discards the other.

[0066] For example, U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH is PUCCH format 0 / 1, M LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH is PUCCH format 0 / 1, and multiple LP SRs are PUCCH format 0 / 1.

[0067] When the UE first multiplexes U LP HARQ-ACK and M LP HARQ-ACK, one PUCCH, for example, PUCCH1, should be determined based on the number of bits of the multiplexed HARQ-ACK. If the multiplexed PUCCH still overlaps with the LP SR resource, multiplex the LP SR with the HARQ-ACK (it may follow the conventional multiplexing method. For example, when PUCCH 1 is PUCCH format 2 / 3 / 4, multiplex K-bit SR information with the HARQ-ACK, where K = log2(1 + m), and m indicates the number of SR configurations overlapping with the PUCCH1 resource).

[0068] When the UE first processes the overlap between U LP HARQ-ACK and LP SR, the UE multiplexes only 1-bit SR information with the U LP HARQ-ACK. Subsequently, when further multiplexing with M LP HARQ-ACK, if the multiplexed channel is PUCCH format 2 / 3 / 4, there is still only 1-bit SR information in the PUCCH.

[0069] For the overlap between high-priority PUCCHs, the above three methods are similarly applicable. Specifically, refer to FIGS. 4d to 4f.

[0070] Embodiment 2: In this embodiment, within one time unit, the time-domain resources of the M LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH and the U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH do not overlap, but the UE can transmit only one LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH within one time unit. In this case, the U LP HARQ-ACK and / or the M LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH further overlap in time-domain resources with the CSI PUCCH and / or the LP SR. In this case, the UE may process it in the following manner.

[0071] Method 1: The UE first multiplexes the M LP HARQ-ACK and the U LP HARQ-ACK onto one PUCCH. Assuming it is multiplexed onto PUCCH1, if the time-domain resources of this PUCCH1 overlap with those of the CSI and / or the LP SR, the UE further processes the collision with the CSI and / or the LP SR. If they do not overlap, the HARQ-ACK PUCCH and the CSI and / or the LP SR PUCCH are transmitted respectively.

[0072] Method 2: The UE first processes the directly overlapping channels (i.e., the channels with overlapping transmission resources). As shown in Figure 4g, assuming the UE first multiplexes the U LP HARQ-ACK, the CSI, and the LP SR onto PUCCH1. Next, the M LP HARQ-ACK is multiplexed with PUCCH1 (regardless of whether they overlap). As shown in Figure 4h, the UE first multiplexes the M LP HARQ-ACK and the CSI, and the U LP HARQ-ACK and the LP SR. Next, the further multiplexed channels are multiplexed together (regardless of whether they overlap).

[0073] Example 3: The M HARQ-ACK PUCCHs with different priorities overlap with the U HARQ-ACK PUCCH, and the M HP HARQ-ACK PUCCH further overlaps with the U HP HARQ-ACK PUCCH. In this case, the UE may process it in the following manner.

[0074] Method 1: The UE first discards or cancels the U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH, and then multiplexes and transmits the U HP HARQ-ACK and the M HP HARQ-ACK on one channel. Method 2: The UE first multiplexes and transmits the U HP HARQ-ACK and the M HP HARQ-ACK on one channel. Assuming that it is multiplexed on PUCCH1, if PUCCH1 overlaps with the U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH, the U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH transmission is discarded or cancelled. If PUCCH1 does not overlap with the U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH, the U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH and PUCCH1 are transmitted respectively.

[0075] Example 4: In a certain time unit, the UE configures or schedules M HP HARQ-ACK PUCCH, M LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH, U HP HARQ-ACK PUCCH and U LP HARQ-ACK PUCCH with different priorities, and CSI, HP SR, and LP SR. If the above channels overlap on the time domain resource, the UE may process them in the following manner.

[0076] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the CSI is described by taking the CSI with low priority as an example, and the above method is similarly applicable to the CSI with high priority.

[0077] Method 1: The UE first processes the overlap between LP channels according to the method in the above-mentioned Embodiment 1 / 2 (in the case of M LP HARQ-ACK and U LP HARQ-ACK, it may further include a scenario where there is no overlap), then processes the overlap between the high-priority channel and the low-priority channel (for example, discarding or canceling the low-priority channel transmission), then processes the overlap between HP channels according to the method in the above-mentioned Embodiment 1 / 2 (in the case of M HP HARQ-ACK and U HP HARQ-ACK, it may further include a scenario where there is no overlap), and finally processes the overlap between the high-priority channel and the low-priority channel (for example, discarding or canceling the low-priority channel transmission). Method 2: The UE first processes the overlap between LP channels and the overlap between HP channels respectively according to the method in the above-mentioned Embodiment 1 / 2 (in the case of M LP HARQ-ACK and U LP HARQ-ACK, it may further include a scenario where there is no overlap, and in the case of M HP HARQ-ACK and U HP HARQ-ACK, it may further include a scenario where there is no overlap), then processes the overlap between the high-priority channel and the low-priority channel (for example, discarding or canceling the low-priority channel transmission), and then processes the overlap between the high-priority channel and the low-priority channel (for example, discarding or canceling the low-priority channel transmission).

[0078] Referring to FIG. 5, the embodiment of the present application provides a processing apparatus 500 for the time-domain resource overlap of PUCCH applied to a terminal, and the apparatus includes including a multiplexing module 501, where there are a first HARQ-ACK and a second HARQ-ACK with the same priority, and the time-domain resources of the PUCCH carrying the first HARQ-ACK and the PUCCH carrying the second HARQ-ACK overlap, or the PUCCH carrying the first HARQ-ACK and the PUCCH carrying the second HARQ-ACK are in the same time unit, and when the terminal does not support transmitting the PUCCHs of two HARQ-ACKs with the same priority in one time unit, the terminal is used to multiplex the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK into one PUCCH, wherein the first HARQ-ACK includes the HARQ-ACK of the group-common physical downlink shared channel PDSCH and / or the HARQ-ACK of the group-common PDCCH, and the second HARQ-ACK includes the HARQ-ACK of the unicast PDSCH and / or the HARQ-ACK of the unicast PDCCH.
