The configuration information may include information related to processing or configuring the physical channel, physical signal (i.e., physical layer), MAC layer, PDCP layer, RLC layer, and RRC layer. The parameters may be upper layer parameters.
[0125] The functions of the wireless transmission / reception unit (30) are the same as the functions of the wireless transmission / reception unit (10), so they will not be repeated here.
[0126] Each of the units indicated by reference numerals 10 to 16 included in the terminal device (1) may be configured as a circuit. Each of the units indicated by reference numerals 30 to 36 included in the base station device (3) may be configured as a circuit.
[0127] The terminal device (1) can multiplex uplink control information (UCI) to PUCCH and transmit it. The terminal device (1) can multiplex UCI to PUSCH and transmit it. UCI may include HARQ-ACK and / or CSI.
[0128] Multiple PUSCH types may be defined based on the type of data (UCI, UL-SCH) multiplexed in the PUSCH before multiplexing the UCI associated with the PUSCH to the PUSCH. For example, a PUSCH of aperiodic CSI (aperiodic CSI on the PUSCH), a PUSCH of semi-persistent CSI (semi-persistent CSI on the PUSCH), a PUSCH of dynamic scheduling (dynamically scheduled PUSCH), and a PUSCH of semi-static scheduling (semi-statically scheduled PUSCH) may be defined. Aperiodic CSI is also referred to as aperiodic CSI. Semi-persistent CSI is also referred to as semi-persistent CSI. In this embodiment, the PUSCH for dynamic scheduling does not include random access message 3.
[0129] The PUSCH of the aperiodic CSI is a PUSCH in which the aperiodic CSI is multiplexed. The aperiodic CSI is a channel status information report performed aperiodically. The aperiodic channel status information report can be represented based on at least the DCI format. The aperiodic channel status information report can be represented based on predetermined values configured in the code points of the CSI request fields included in at least the DCI format.
[0130] The PUSCH of the semi-continuous CSI is referred to as a PUSCH in which the UCI of the semi-continuous CSI is multiplexed. The semi-continuous CSI is a channel status information report performed semi-continuously. To enable or disable semi-continuous CSI reporting using the PUSCH, the terminal device (1) determines whether some or all of the following requirements are satisfied. In other words, semi-continuous CSI reporting using the PUSCH is enabled using at least the DCI format.
[0131] Requirement A1: The DCI format is scrambled by SP-CSI-RNTI obtained by the upper layer parameter sp-csi-RNTI.
[0132] Requirement A2: A specific DCI format field for the activation of the reflective CSI is set to a predetermined value indicating the activation of the reflective CSI.
[0133] Requirement A3: A specific DCI format field for the deactivation of the reflective CSI is set to a predetermined value indicating the deactivation of the reflective CSI.
[0134] The transmission of semi-sustaining CSI can be enabled when both Requirement A1 and Requirement A2 are satisfied. The transmission of semi-sustaining CSI can be disabled when both Requirement A1 and Requirement A3 are satisfied.
[0135] The PUSCH of dynamic scheduling is dynamically scheduled by uplink acknowledgment in DCI format. The PUSCH may include a transmission block. The PUSCH of dynamic scheduling may be a PUSCH that is scheduled based on DCI format and is not represented as a non-periodic CSI based on DCI format.
[0136] A semi-statically scheduled PUSCH, scheduled by an acknowledgment trigger, is a PUSCH in which PUSCH resources are semi-statically allocated and transmission blocks are transmitted according to upper-layer parameters. A semi-statically scheduled PUSCH may include a Type 1 semi-statically scheduled PUSCH and a Type 2 semi-statically scheduled PUSCH. For a Type 1 semi-statically scheduled PUSCH, transmission in the time domain may be represented by the upper-layer parameter timeDomainAllocation. A Type 2 semi-statically scheduled PUSCH may be triggered by an uplink acknowledgment in DCI format. The transmission interval (periodism) for a semi-statically scheduled PUSCH may be obtained based on the upper-layer parameters.
[0137] When PUCCH does not conflict (overlap) with PUSCH in the time domain, the terminal device (1) may multiplex the UCI associated with PUCCH to PUCCH and transmit it. When PUCCH conflicts (overlaps) with PUSCH in the time domain, the terminal device (1) may multiplex the UCI associated with PUCCH to PUSCH and transmit it, and may not transmit PUCCH. PUCCH may be a PUCCH composed of the transmission of UCI. The transmission of UCI may be provided based on at least the DCI format and / or upper layer parameters.
[0138] UCIs associated with PUCCH do not include non-periodic CSIs. UCIs associated with PUCCH do not include semi-permanent CSIs for which reporting is enabled by the DCI format.
[0139] When a PUSCH of a non-periodic CSI and a dynamically scheduled PUSCH collide with a PUCCH in the time domain, the terminal device (1) can multiplex the UCI associated with the PUCCH to the PUSCH of the non-periodic CSI and transmit the multiplexed UCI.
[0140] When a PUSCH of a non-periodic CSI and a semi-statically scheduled PUSCH collide with a PUCCH in the time domain, the terminal device (1) can multiplex the UCI associated with the PUCCH to the PUSCH of the non-periodic CSI and transmit the multiplexed UCI.
[0141] When a dynamically scheduled PUSCH and a semi-statically scheduled PUSCH collide with a PUCCH in the time domain, the terminal device (1) can multiplex the UCI associated with the PUCCH to the dynamically scheduled PUSCH and transmit the multiplexed UCI.
[0142] When multiple PUSCHs (a set of PUSCHs) collide with a PUCCH in the time domain, the PUSCH for multiplexing the UCI can be obtained based on the index of the serving cell to which each of the multiple PUSCHs is mapped and / or the starting position of each of the multiple PUSCHs. For example, when multiple PUSCHs of the same PUSCH type collide with a PUCCH in the time domain and multiple PUSCHs are used in multiple serving cells, the terminal device (1) multiplexes the UCI associated with the PUCCH to the serving cell having a lower identifier value and transmits the multiplexed UCI on the PUSCH of the serving cell. When multiple PUSCHs are transmitted from the serving cell, the terminal device (1) can multiplex the UCI associated with the PUCCH to the first PUSCH in the time domain among the multiple PUSCHs in the serving cell and transmit the multiplexed UCI.
[0143] FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a method for selecting a PUSCH that multiplexes a UCI when one or more PUSCHs collide with a PUCCH in the time domain, according to an aspect of the present invention.
[0144] For example, in the first example, when a PUCCH (601) containing a UCI collides with a PUSCH (600) in the time domain, the terminal device (1) transmits a multiplexed UCI to the PUSCH (600). The PUSCH (600) may be any one of a PUSCH of a non-periodic CSI, a PUSCH of a semi-periodic CSI (a semi-periodic CSI on the PUSCH), a dynamically scheduled PUSCH, and a semi-statically scheduled PUSCH. The PUCCH containing a UCI may be a PUCCH in which the transmission of the UCI is configured based on at least upper layer parameters. The PUCCH containing a UCI may be a PUCCH in which the transmission of the UCI is indicated based on at least a DCI.
[0145] In the second example, when a PUCCH (612) containing a UCI collides with a non-periodic CSI PUSCH (611) and a PUSCH (610) in the time domain, the terminal device (1) multiplexes the UCI to the non-periodic CSI PUSCH (611) and transmits the multiplexed UCI. The PUSCH (610) may be either a dynamically scheduled PUSCH or a semi-statically scheduled PUSCH.
[0146] In the third example, when a PUCCH (625) containing a UCI collides with a first PUSCH group (first PUSCHs) containing one or more dynamically scheduled PUSCHs (622, 623, 624) and a second PUSCH group (second PUSCHs) containing one or more semi-statically scheduled PUSCHs (620, 621), the terminal device (1) multiplexes the UCI to one of the PUSCHs of the first PUSCH group and transmits it.
[0147] In the fourth example, when a PUCCH (634) containing a UCI collides with a plurality of dynamically scheduled PUSCHs (630, 631, 632, 633) in the time domain, the terminal device (1) multiplexes the UCI into a PUSCH (630) of a serving cell having a serving cell identifier at the start and a low value in the time domain, and transmits the multiplexed UCI.
[0148] When a PUCCH containing a UCI collides with one or more PUSCHs in the time domain, the PUSCH transmitted by multiplexing the UCI is selected from one or more PUSCHs based at least on whether each of the one or more PUSCHs is a PUSCH of the semi-sustained CSI.
[0149] When a semi-permanent CSI PUSCH, a non-periodic CSI PUSCH, and / or a dynamically scheduled PUSCH and / or a semi-statically scheduled PUSCH collides with a PUCCH containing a UCI in the time domain, the terminal device (1) multiplexes the UCI and transmits it over the semi-permanent CSI PUSCH. When a semi-permanent CSI PUSCH and a first PUSCH group collide with a PUCCH containing a UCI in the time domain, the UCI is multiplexed and transmitted over the semi-permanent CSI PUSCH. A first PUSCH group includes at least one non-periodic CSI PUSCH, one or more dynamically scheduled PUSCHs, and / or some or all of one or more semi-statically scheduled PUSCHs. For example, when a semi-permanent CSI PUSCH and a non-periodic CSI PUSCH collide with a PUCCH containing a UCI in the time domain, the UCI may be multiplexed and transmitted over the semi-permanent CSI PUSCH.

A third PUSCH group may include at least one PUSCH of a non-periodic CSI and / or some or all of one or more dynamically scheduled PUSCHs. For example, when a PUSCH of a semi-periodic CSI and a PUSCH of a non-periodic CSI collide with a PUCCH containing a UCI in the time domain, the UCI is multiplexed and transmitted on the PUSCH of the non-periodic CSI.

When the PUSCH of multiple semi-dependent CSIs is transmitted from the serving cell, the terminal device (1) multiplexes the UCI associated with the PUCCH into the PUSCH of the first semi-dependent CSI in the time domain among the PUSCHs of multiple semi-dependent CSIs within the serving cell and transmits the multiplexed UCI.
[0158] When a PUCCH containing a UCI conflicts in the time domain with a PUSCH of one or more non-periodic CSIs and / or a PUSCH of one or more semi-periodic CSIs and / or a PUSCH of one or more dynamically scheduled PUSCHs and / or a semi-statically scheduled PUSCH, the PUSCH for multiplexing and transmitting the UCI associated with the PUCCH may be determined based on at least y, c, and l. For example, when a PUCCH containing a UCI conflicts in the time domain with a PUSCH of one or more non-periodic CSIs and / or a PUSCH of one or more semi-periodic CSIs and / or a PUSCH of one or more dynamically scheduled PUSCHs and / or a semi-statically scheduled PUSCH, the PUSCH for multiplexing and transmitting the UCI associated with the PUCCH is a priority value obtained based on Equation 1. It is determined as follows. For example, the terminal device (1) has the lowest UCI related to PUCCH. It multiplexes the UCI to the corresponding PUSCH and transmits the multiplexed UCI. That is, when a PUCCH containing a UCI collides with one or more PUSCHs in the time domain, the terminal device (1) transmits the UCI associated with the PUCCH to the lowest of the one or more PUSCHs. Multiplexes the corresponding PUSCH and transmits the multiplexed UCI.

[0160]
[0161] N cells is the maximum number of serving cells. N cells can be obtained by the upper layer parameter maxNrofServingCells. N cells can also be a predetermined value (e.g., 16 or 32).
[0162] N time may be a value related to the number of PUSCH time-domain resource allocation candidates that can be transmitted in a single slot. For example, N time It can be obtained based on higher-level parameters. For example, N time is N slot symb Can correspond to. N slot symb is the number of OFDM symbols contained in a single slot. In a carrier aggregation configured with a subcarrier spacing configuration μ for each of multiple carriers, N slot symb It can correspond to a carrier configured with a maximum subcarrier spacing configuration μ. In a carrier aggregation configured with a subcarrier spacing configuration μ for each of the multiple carriers, N slot symb corresponds to a carrier configured with a maximum subcarrier spacing configuration μ among the carriers of one or more PUSCHs that collide with a PUCCH containing a (assigned) UCI transmitted in the time domain. When the maximum subcarrier spacing configuration μ is 2 and the CP configuration is an extended CP (extended periodic prefix), N slot symbis N for the carrier when the subcarrier spacing configuration μ is 2 and the CP configuration is normal CP (normal periodic prefix). slot symb It is obtained as. For example, N time ceiling (K · N slot symb It can correspond to ). The value of K can be obtained based on at least μ. The value of K is 2 (μ-μPUCCH) It can be obtained as follows. μPUCCH is the configuration of the carrier subcarrier interval where PUCCH is used. Ceiling represents the ceiling function. The ceiling function outputs the smallest integer greater than the input value.
[0163] For example, in example a1, when μ = 3 and μPUCCH = 1 are configured, K = 4, and N slot symb = 14 and N time = 56.
[0164] In example a2, when μ = 0 and μPUCCH = 2 are configured and the CP configuration of the carrier using PUCCH is an extended CP, K = 0.25 and N slot symb = 14 and N time = 4.
[0165] In example a3, μ = 2 and μPUCCH = 4 are configured, and when the CP configuration of the carrier using PUSCH for μ = 2 is an extended CP, K = 0.25 and N slot symb = 14 and N time = 4
[0166] c is the index of the serving cell (c = 0, 1,..., N cells -1).
[0167] In the fourth example, c = 1 can be configured for PUSCH (632) and PUSCH (633), and c = 0 can be configured for PUSCH (630) and PUSCH (631).
[0168] l can be indexed sequentially from the initial start position of the PUSCH transmission in each of the serving cells. l can correspond to the index of the first OFDM symbol of the PUSCH.
[0169] In the third example, l = 0 can be configured for PUSCH (622), l = 1 can be configured for PUSCH (623), l = 2 can be configured for PUSCH (624), l = 3 can be configured for PUSCH (620), and l = 4 can be configured for PUSCH (621).
[0170] In the fourth example, l = 0 can be configured for PUSCH (632), l = 1 can be configured for PUSCH (633), l = 0 can be configured for PUSCH (630), and l = 1 can be configured for PUSCH (631).
[0171] y is a weighting factor used to determine the priority of PUSCH types, including at least non-periodic CSI PUSCH, semi-periodic CSI PUSCH, dynamically scheduled PUSCH, and semi-statically scheduled PUSCH. The value of y can be configured for each PUSCH type.
[0172] For example, in example b1, y = 0 can be configured for a semi-periodic CSI PUSCH, y = 1 can be configured for a non-periodic CSI PUSCH, y = 2 can be configured for a dynamically scheduled PUSCH, and y = 3 can be configured for a semi-statically scheduled PUSCH.
[0173] In example b2, y = 1 can be configured for a semi-permanent CSI PUSCH, y = 0 can be configured for a non-periodic CSI PUSCH, y = 2 can be configured for a dynamically scheduled PUSCH, and y = 3 can be configured for a semi-statically scheduled PUSCH.
[0174] In example b3, y = 2 can be configured for a semi-permanent CSI PUSCH, y = 0 can be configured for a non-periodic CSI PUSCH, y = 1 can be configured for a dynamically scheduled PUSCH, and y = 3 can be configured for a semi-statically scheduled PUSCH.
[0175] In example b4, y = 3 can be configured for a semi-permanent CSI PUSCH, y = 0 can be configured for a non-periodic CSI PUSCH, y = 1 can be configured for a dynamically scheduled PUSCH, and y = 2 can be configured for a semi-statically scheduled PUSCH.
