[0032] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0033] In the description of this disclosure, unless otherwise specified, " / " means "or". For example, A / B can mean A or B. "And / or" in this article is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can mean: only A, only B, and A and B. In addition, "at least one" means one or more, and "a plurality" means two or more. Expressions such as "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity and execution order, and expressions such as "first" and "second" do not necessarily limit them to be different.

[0034] It should be noted that in this disclosure, expressions such as "exemplarily" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design described in this disclosure as "exemplary" or "for example" should not be construed as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of expressions such as "exemplarily" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a detailed manner.

[0035] In wireless communication systems, terminals can use all or part of the resources allocated to a physical uplink data channel to transmit uplink control information. This is known as multiplexing uplink control information on the physical uplink data channel. Multiplexing uplink control information and user data on the physical uplink data channel is a key technical step in wireless communication. It enables simultaneous transmission of control information and user data within a single transmission time, thereby improving the system's spectrum efficiency and data transmission capacity. However, currently, after transmitting uplink control information, the base station does not provide feedback on whether the uplink control information has been successfully received. This makes it impossible for terminals to accurately determine whether the base station has successfully received the uplink control information. Consequently, in situations where the uplink control information carries a large amount of content or has a strong correlation with subsequently transmitted uplink control information, the transmission efficiency of the uplink control information can be significantly reduced, leading to a decrease in user service quality. Therefore, determining whether control information has been successfully received to further improve its transmission efficiency is a technical problem that needs to be urgently addressed.

[0036] In view of this, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for transmitting control information, comprising: a first node transmitting first control information to a second node over all or part of a physical data channel or over dedicated resources for the first control information, and determining, based on characteristic information of the first control information and configuration information of the second node, whether feedback information is received from the second node after transmitting the first control information, the feedback information being used to provide feedback on whether the second node successfully received the first control information. In this way, based on the feedback information, it is possible to determine whether the second node successfully received the control information sent by the first node, thereby increasing the transmission efficiency of the control information and improving the system performance of the wireless communication system.

[0037] Accordingly, an embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a method for receiving control information, the method comprising: a second node receiving first control information from a first node on all or part of a physical data channel or on dedicated resources for the first control information, and determining, based on characteristic information of the first control information and configuration information of the second node, whether to send feedback information to the first node after transmitting the first control information, the feedback information being used to provide feedback on whether the second node successfully received the first control information. In this way, the second node can provide feedback to the first node on whether the first control information was successfully received, thereby improving the transmission efficiency of the control information.

[0038] The technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to various mobile communication networks, for example, new radio (NR) mobile communication networks using fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5G), future mobile communication networks, or multiple communication convergence systems, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0039] FIG1 shows a schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG1 , the communication system includes one or more first nodes 10 and one or more second nodes 20 .

[0040] In some embodiments, the first node 10 may be a terminal, which may be a device with wireless transceiver capabilities and may be deployed on land, including indoors or outdoors, handheld, wearable, or vehicle-mounted; may also be deployed on water (such as a ship); or may be deployed in the air (such as an airplane, balloon, or satellite). The terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a computer with wireless transceiver capabilities, a virtual reality (VR) terminal, an augmented reality (AR) terminal, a wireless terminal in industrial control, a wireless terminal in self-driving, a wireless terminal in remote medical care, a wireless terminal in a smart grid, a wireless terminal in transportation safety, a wireless terminal in a smart city, a wireless terminal in a smart home, and the like. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the application scenarios. The terminal may sometimes also be referred to as a user, user equipment (UE), access terminal, UE unit, UE station, mobile station, mobile station, remote station, remote terminal, mobile device, UE terminal, wireless communication equipment, UE agent or UE device, etc., but the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0041] In some embodiments, the second node 20 may be a base station, configured to provide wireless access services to multiple terminals. For example, a base station provides a service coverage area (also referred to as a cell). Terminals within this area may communicate with the base station via wireless signals to receive the wireless access services provided by the base station.

[0042] In some embodiments, the base station can be a base station or an evolved base station (eNB or eNodeB) in long term evolution (LTE), long term evolution advanced (LTEA), a base station device in a 5G network, or a base station in a future communication system, etc. The base station may include various macro base stations, micro base stations, home base stations, wireless remote devices, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), routers, wireless fidelity (WIFI) devices and other network side devices.

[0043] It should be noted that Figure 1 is only an exemplary framework diagram. The number of devices included in Figure 1 and the names of each device are not restricted. In addition to the devices shown in Figure 1, the communication system may also include other devices (such as core network devices).

[0044] The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the application scenarios. The system architecture and business scenarios described in the embodiments of the present disclosure are intended to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that with the evolution of network architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure are equally applicable to similar technical problems.

[0045] As shown in FIG2 , the present disclosure provides a method for transmitting control information, which is applied to a first node. The method includes the following S101 to S103 .

[0046] In S101, first control information is generated.

[0047] Exemplarily, the first control information may be uplink control information or downlink control information.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first control information may include a scheduling request, hybrid automatic repeat request feedback information, channel state information, etc.

[0049] Taking the first node as a terminal and the second node as a base station as an example, the first control information is uplink control information. The scheduling request can be a request message sent by the first node to the second node, used to inform the second node that the first node needs resources for data transmission and to request the second node to allocate corresponding resources.

[0050] Hybrid automatic repeat request feedback information may include hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ ACK) or hybrid automatic repeat request negative acknowledgment (HARQ NACK). Hybrid automatic repeat request feedback information is an important feedback information in the wireless communication process, used to provide feedback to the second node on whether the first node successfully received the data. For example, when the first node successfully receives the data, the first control information may include HARQ ACK information. Alternatively, when the first node fails to successfully receive the data, the first control information may include HARQ NACK information.

[0051] Channel state information (CSI) can be used to describe the characteristics of the channel in a communication link. CSI is an important concept in wireless communications, and a second node can perform communication link scheduling and transmission optimization based on this CSI. CSI can include various types of information, such as channel quality indication (CQI), precoding matrix indication (PMI), and rank indication (RI).

[0052] In some embodiments, when resource scheduling, data transmission confirmation, feedback of channel state information, or sending of measurement reports are required, the first node may generate corresponding first control information based on the type of control information currently required to be sent.

[0053] In S102, first control information is transmitted to the second node on all or part of the resources of the physical data channel or on dedicated resources for the first control information.

[0054] The dedicated resource is a resource configured by the second node to the first node and dedicated to transmitting the first control information.

[0055] In some examples, as shown in FIG3 , the first node may transmit the first control information to the second node on partial resources (20 subcarriers) of the physical uplink data channel (72 subcarriers) or on dedicated resources (20 subcarriers) for the first control information.

[0056] In some embodiments, after the time interval of the physical data channel used to transmit the first control information, the physical data channel also includes M time intervals for repeatedly transmitting data, and the first node may also repeatedly transmit the first control information in all or part of these M time intervals.

[0057] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 4, taking the first node as the terminal and the second node as the base station as an example, the physical uplink data channel (72 subcarriers) transmits the first control information (occupying 20 subcarriers) in time slot 1. After time slot 1, the physical uplink data channel also includes the above-mentioned M time intervals of time slot 2, time slot 3 and time slot 4 for repeated transmission of uplink data. At this time, the first node can repeatedly transmit the first control information in time slot 2, time slot 3 and time slot 4.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first node may also transmit all or part of the first control information on all or part of the resources of the physical control channel.

[0059] Exemplarily, taking the first node as a terminal and the second node as a base station as an example, the first node can transmit the first control information through a physical uplink control channel and a physical uplink data channel. In one example, the first node can transmit the entire content of the first control information through both the physical uplink control channel and the physical uplink data channel, or transmit the same partial content of the first control information. In another example, the first node can also transmit different parts of the first control information through the physical uplink control channel and the physical uplink data channel respectively. In this way, transmitting the first control information through the physical uplink control channel and the physical uplink data channel can increase the probability of successful reception of the first control information and reduce the transmission delay of the first control information.

[0060] In addition, the physical uplink control channel and the physical uplink data channel may be in the same time interval or in different time intervals.

[0061] In some embodiments, the transmission power of the first control information per unit resource is greater than or equal to the transmission power of the physical data channel per unit resource. For example, the transmission power of the first control information per subcarrier is greater than or equal to the transmission power of the physical data channel per subcarrier. In this way, the transmission efficiency of the first control information can be higher, thereby enabling the second node to obtain the first control information as quickly as possible.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first node may divide the first control information into X segments, wherein the transmission power of at least one segment of the X segments per unit resource is greater than or equal to the transmission power of the other segments per unit resource, and X is a positive integer. In addition, the contents of the X segments of the first control information may be completely different or partially the same. For example, as shown in FIG5 , the X segments may include at least segment 1 and segment 2, and the contents of segment 1 and segment 2 may be completely different, that is, there is no overlapping part. Alternatively, the X segments may include at least segment 3 and segment 4, and the contents of segment 3 and segment 4 may be partially the same, that is, the overlapping part between segment 3 and segment 4 in FIG5 .

[0063] It should be noted that the transmission power per unit resource of the segment corresponding to the important content in the first control information may be greater than the transmission power per unit resource of other segments, thereby enabling the second node to quickly obtain the important content in the first control information.

[0064] In S103, it is determined whether feedback information is received from the second node after the first control information is transmitted, based on the characteristic information of the first control information and the configuration information of the second node.

[0065] The feedback information is used to feedback whether the second node successfully receives the first control information.

[0066] In some embodiments, the feedback information may satisfy any of the following conditions:

[0067] The feedback information is used to feed back that the second node successfully receives part of the first control information;

[0068] The feedback information is used to feed back the second node that it has successfully received all the contents of the first control information;

[0069] The feedback information is used to feed back the partial content of the first control information that the second node failed to receive successfully;

[0070] The feedback information is used to feed back that the second node failed to successfully receive the entire content of the first control information.

[0071] In some embodiments, the characteristic information of the first control information includes at least one of the following: a transmission mode of the first control information and a content type of the first control information. For example, the transmission mode of the first control information may include an aperiodic transmission mode.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first node may determine to receive feedback information from the second node when any of the following conditions is met:

[0073] The transmission mode of the first control information is a non-periodic transmission mode;

[0074] The first control information includes channel state information generated based on a preset generation method;

[0075] The first control information includes delayed hybrid automatic repeat request feedback information;

[0076] The configuration information of the second node indicates that the second node needs to send feedback information to the first node;

[0077] Other control information subsequently sent by the first node is associated with the first control information.

[0078] The above-mentioned pre-set generation method may be pre-agreed between the first node and the second node, and the generation method may be a linear generation method or a non-linear generation method.

[0079] Exemplarily, the association relationship between other control information subsequently sent by the first node and the first control information may include: the first control information may indicate whether other control information subsequently sent by the first node exists, or whether the control information needs to be sent, and the first control information may be combined with other control information subsequently sent by the first node to constitute information or content that can be obtained by the second node. For example, the first control information may be combined with other control information subsequently sent by the first node to constitute channel state information that can be obtained by the second node, etc.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first node may determine to receive feedback information from the second node within N time intervals after transmitting the first control information, where N is a positive integer.

[0081] In one example, when the second node determines that it needs to send the above-mentioned feedback information for the first control information to the first node, and the second node successfully receives the first control information, the second node can send feedback information to the first node within N time intervals after transmitting the first control information, and the feedback information is used to indicate that the first control information is successfully received.

[0082] In some embodiments, if no feedback information is received within the first time interval, it is determined that the second node successfully receives the first control information.

[0083] The first time interval is configured by default or obtained through negotiation between the second node and the first node. For example, the first time interval may be 1 time slot, 2 time slots, N time slots, or other possible time intervals.

[0084] For example, if the second node successfully receives the first control information, it may not send the feedback information to the first node within the first time interval. Accordingly, if the first node does not receive the feedback information within the first time interval, it can be determined that the second node successfully received the first control information. In this way, the second node does not need to transmit feedback information to the first node, and the first node does not need to receive feedback information, thereby reducing system overhead.

[0085] In some embodiments, if no feedback information is received within the first time interval, it is determined that the second node has successfully received the first control information.The first node may also send other control information associated with the first control information to the second node.

[0086] In some embodiments, the absolute time length of the time interval in the embodiments of the present disclosure may also be a default configuration or obtained through negotiation between the second node and the first node.

[0087] In another example, when the second node determines that it needs to send the above-mentioned feedback information for the first control information to the first node, and the second node fails to successfully receive the first control information, the second node can send feedback information to the first node within N time intervals after transmitting the first control information, and the feedback information is used to indicate that the first control information was not successfully received.

[0088] In some embodiments, when the feedback information is received within the second time interval, it is determined that the second node has not successfully received the first control information.

[0089] The second time interval is configured by default or obtained through negotiation between the second node and the first node. For example, the second time interval may be 1 time slot, 2 time slots, N time slots, or other possible time intervals.

[0090] In some embodiments, the feedback information may be carried by at least one of radio resource configuration signaling, media access control signaling, and downlink control information.

[0091] In some embodiments, when the first control information needs to be retransmitted, the retransmission and initial transmission of the first control information satisfy at least one of the following:

[0092] The transmission priority of the retransmitted first control information is greater than or equal to the transmission priority of the initially transmitted first control information;

[0093] The code rate used for retransmitting the first control information is less than or equal to the code rate used for initially transmitting the first control information;

[0094] The number of resources used for retransmitting the first control information is greater than or equal to the number of resources used for initially transmitting the first control information;

[0095] The number of bits corresponding to the modulation symbols of the retransmitted first control information is less than or equal to the number of bits corresponding to the modulation symbols of the initially transmitted first control information.

[0096] For example, the transmission priority of the first control information transmitted initially is A, the transmission priority of the retransmitted first control information is B, and the transmission priority of the reference information is C. The reference information was attempted to be transmitted in both the initial transmission and the retransmission of the first control information. A's transmission priority is lower than C's. Without considering B, the reference information needs to be prioritized for resource acquisition and transmission. However, if B's ​​transmission priority is higher than C's, the retransmitted first control information can be prioritized for resource acquisition and transmission. In this way, the first control information can be transmitted preferentially, allowing the second node to obtain the first control information as quickly as possible.

[0097] In addition, the code rate used for retransmitting the first control information is less than or equal to the code rate used for initially transmitting the first control information, the number of resources used for retransmitting the first control information is greater than or equal to the number of resources used for initially transmitting the first control information, and the number of bits corresponding to the modulation symbols of the retransmitted first control information is less than or equal to the number of bits corresponding to the modulation symbols of the initially transmitted first control information. All of these can make the transmission of the first control information more efficient, thereby allowing the second node to obtain the first control information as soon as possible.

[0098] In some embodiments, when the first node needs to retransmit the first control information, the resources used to retransmit the first control information include dedicated resources configured by the second node for retransmitting the first control information or all or part of the resources of the physical data channel.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first node receives feedback information from the second node, and the feedback information is used to feedback that the second node successfully receives the first control information. Thus, the first node may also send other control information associated with the first control information to the second node.

[0100] Exemplarily, the association relationship here may include that the first control information can indicate whether other control information with an association relationship exists, or whether the control information needs to be sent, and the first control information can be combined with other control information with an association relationship to constitute information or content that can be obtained by the second node, etc.

[0101] In some embodiments, the first node receives feedback information from the second node, the feedback information being used to report that the second node failed to successfully receive the first control information. The first node may also retransmit all or part of the first control information to the second node.

[0102] Exemplarily, when the first node receives a first control information sent to the second node for feedback that the second node failed to successfully receive the information, the first node may retransmit the entire content of the first control information to the second node, or the first node may only retransmit the portion of the first control information that the second node failed to successfully receive to the second node.

[0103] In some embodiments, the first node may further receive second control information in the first format from the second node, and / or the second node may receive third control information in the first format or the second format from the second node.

[0104] The second control information in the first format carries description information of the physical uplink data channel. Furthermore, the control information in the second format carries description information of the physical uplink data channel or the physical downlink data channel. Thus, the third control information in the first format carries feedback information and description information of the physical uplink data channel, and the third control information in the second format carries feedback information and description information of the physical uplink data channel or the physical downlink data channel. The feedback information is used to provide feedback on whether the second node successfully received the first control information.

[0105] Based on the technical solution provided in the present disclosure, after the first node transmits control information to the second node, it can determine whether feedback information about the control information is received from the second node, and then based on the feedback information, it can determine whether the second node has successfully received the control information sent by the first node, so as to increase the transmission efficiency of the control information and improve the system performance of the wireless communication system.

[0106] In some embodiments, the present disclosure further provides a method for receiving control information, which is applied to a second node. As shown in FIG6 , the method further includes the following S201 to S202 .

[0107] In S201, first control information is received from a first node on all or part of resources of a physical data channel or on dedicated resources for the first control information.

[0108] In some embodiments, the dedicated resource is a resource configured by the second node to the first node and dedicated to transmitting the first control information.

[0109] Exemplarily, the first control information may be uplink control information or downlink control information.

[0110] In some embodiments, the first control information may include a scheduling request, hybrid automatic repeat request feedback information, channel state information, etc.

[0111] In some embodiments, the second node may receive all or part of the first control information on all or part of the resources of the physical control channel.

[0112] In some embodiments, after the time interval of the physical data channel used to transmit the first control information, the physical data channel also includes M time intervals for repeatedly transmitting data, and the second node can also repeatedly receive the first control information in all or part of the M time intervals.

[0113] In some embodiments, the transmission power of the first control information on a unit resource is greater than or equal to the transmission power of the physical data channel on a unit resource.

[0114] In some embodiments, the first control information may be divided into X segments, wherein the transmission power per unit resource of at least one of the X segments is greater than or equal to the transmission power per unit resource of the other segments, where X is a positive integer. Furthermore, the contents of the X segments of the first control information may be completely different or partially identical.

[0115] In S202, it is determined whether to send feedback information to the first node after transmitting the first control information according to the characteristic information of the first control information and the configuration information of the second node.

[0116] The feedback information is used to feedback whether the second node successfully receives the first control information.

[0117] In some embodiments, the feedback information satisfies any of the following:

[0118] The feedback information is used to feed back that the second node successfully receives part of the first control information;

[0119] The feedback information is used to feed back the second node that it has successfully received all the contents of the first control information;

[0120] The feedback information is used to feed back the partial content of the first control information that the second node failed to receive successfully;

[0121] The feedback information is used to feed back that the second node failed to successfully receive the entire content of the first control information.

[0122] In some embodiments, the characteristic information of the first control information includes at least one of the following: a transmission mode of the first control information and a content type of the first control information. In one example, the transmission mode of the first control information is an aperiodic transmission mode.

[0123] Exemplarily, the second node may also determine whether to send feedback information to the first node after receiving the first control information based on the characteristic information of the first control information and the configuration information of the second node.

[0124] In some embodiments, the second node needs to send feedback information to the first node when any of the following conditions is met:

[0125] The transmission mode of the first control information is a non-periodic transmission mode;

[0126] The first control information includes channel state information generated based on a preset generation method;

[0127] The first control information includes delayed hybrid automatic repeat request feedback information;

[0128] The configuration information of the second node indicates that the second node needs to send feedback information to the first node;

[0129] Other control information subsequently sent by the first node is associated with the first control information.

[0130] In some embodiments, when other control information subsequently sent by the first node is received and has an association relationship with the first control information, the second node determines that feedback information needs to be sent to the first node.

[0131] In some embodiments, the second node may send feedback information to the first node, where the feedback information is used to provide feedback that the second node successfully received the first control information. Furthermore, the second node may receive other control information associated with the first control information from the first node.

[0132] In some embodiments, the second node may further send feedback information to the first node, the feedback information being used to feedback that the second node failed to successfully receive the first control information. Furthermore, the second node may receive all or part of the first control information retransmitted by the first node.

[0133] In some embodiments, the first node needs to retransmit the first control information, and accordingly, the second node can re-receive the first control information. The retransmission and the initial transmission of the first control information meet at least one of the following conditions:

[0134] The transmission priority of the retransmitted first control information is greater than or equal to the transmission priority of the initially transmitted first control information;

[0135] The code rate used for retransmitting the first control information is less than or equal to the code rate used for initially transmitting the first control information;

[0136] The number of resources used for retransmitting the first control information is greater than or equal to the number of resources used for initially transmitting the first control information;

[0137] The number of bits corresponding to the modulation symbols of the retransmitted first control information is less than or equal to the number of bits corresponding to the modulation symbols of the initially transmitted first control information.

[0138] In some embodiments, the resources used for retransmitting the first control information include dedicated resources configured by the second node for retransmitting the first control information or all or part of the resources of a physical data channel.

[0139] In some embodiments, if the second node successfully receives the first control information, no feedback information is sent to the second node within the first time interval.

[0140] The first time interval is configured by default or obtained through negotiation between the second node and the first node.

[0141] Accordingly, in the case where no feedback information is received within the first time interval, the first node may determine that the second node has successfully received the first control information.

[0142] In some embodiments, if the second node fails to successfully receive the first control information, feedback information is sent to the first node within a second time interval.

[0143] The second time interval is configured by default or obtained through negotiation between the second node and the first node.

[0144] Accordingly, when the feedback information is received within the second time interval, it is determined that the second node has not successfully received the first control information.

[0145] In some embodiments, the second node may further send second control information in the first format to the first node; and / or the second node may send third control information in the first format or the second format to the first node.

[0146] The second control information carries description information of the physical uplink data channel. The third control information in the first format carries feedback information and description information of the physical uplink data channel, and the third control information in the second format carries feedback information and description information of the physical uplink data channel or description information of the physical downlink data channel.

[0147] In addition, for the detailed introduction of S201 to S202 , reference can be made to the related description of S101 to S103 above, which will not be repeated here.
