[0163] In some embodiments, the first information may be downlink information, including but not limited to at least one of the following: a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and the like.

[0164] In some embodiments, taking the first information as PUCCH as an example, for PUCCH transmission, transmission between slots or between sub-slots is supported. Considering that the uplink control information (UCI) carried by PUCCH adopts polarization coding, it is necessary to at least ensure the consistency of the code rate. To achieve the above function, the number of resource blocks (RBs) occupied by the same PUCCH in different transmissions (repetitions) should be the same.

[0165] In the SBFD scenario, if the transmission of the same PUCCH between different slots (or sub-slots) spans different time unit types, for example, SBFD symbol (or SBFD slot) and non-SBFD symbol (or non-SBFD slot), the number of RBs available for PUCCH transmission may be different.

[0166] In some embodiments, the PUCCH format may be as shown in Table 1, for example.

[0167] Table 1 PUCCH format

[0168] Table 1 shows several formats of PUCCH. In practical applications, any format in Table 1 or other formats may be used, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0169] In some embodiments, the relevant content of PUCCH resource (resource) is as follows:

[0170] The resources for PUCCH transmission are based on the PUCCH resource (PUCCH-resource) configuration within the PUCCH resource set (PUCCH-resource set), and the PUCCH-resource set and PUCCH-resource correspond to the PUCCH resource set identifier (PUCCH-resource setId) and the PUCCH resource identifier (PUCCH-resourceId), respectively.

[0171] Based on the above parameters, the terminal can determine the time-frequency domain resources where the PUCCH is transmitted. The PUCCH is associated with a specific PUCCH format.

[0172] In an example, the frequency domain resource where the PUCCH is transmitted may be determined based on, but not limited to, at least one of the following parameters:

[0173] The lowest frequency domain position of the transmission (startingPRB, PRB-Id corresponds one-to-one with the physical resource block PRB within the carrier);

[0174] The frequency domain location of the second hop transmission (secondHopPRB, if frequency hopping is enabled).

[0175] In one example, the time domain resource where the PUCCH is transmitted, such as the symbol resource, may be determined based on, but not limited to, at least one of the following parameters:

[0176] Starting symbol position within the slot (startingSymbolIndex);

[0177] Number of persistent symbols (nrofSymbols).

[0178] In one example, the time domain resources where the PUCCH is transmitted, such as slot resources, can be configured based on the UCI transmitted by the PUCCH.

[0179] For example, if the corresponding PUCCH transmits Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest ACKnowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information, the terminal can determine the slot where the PUCCH is transmitted based on the PDSCH to HARQ feedback timing indicator field (PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field) of the downlink control information (DCI).

[0180] In some embodiments, PUCCH can perform repeated transmission. The content of PUCCH repeated transmission is described as follows:

[0181] The terminal can be based on the same PUCCH resource, according to the first slot or the first sub-slot where the above PUCCH transmission is located as the starting slot or starting sub-slot, slot or Repeatedly transmit the same PUCCH on sub-slots. It can be determined based on the parameter PUCCH repetition transmission slot number (pucch-RepetitionNrofSlots) or the parameter slot number (nrofSlots). It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the same PUCCH resource refers to the same PUCCH resource identifier and / or the same number of occupied resources, such as the same number of occupied RBs and / or the same number of occupied symbols in the same slot or the same sub-slot.

[0182] In some scenarios, such as Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) scenarios, if the parameter subslotLengthForPUCCH is configured, the number of symbols occupied in a slot or a sub-slot during PUCCH transmission is determined based on subslotLengthForPUCCH.

[0183] In case of repeated transmission, e.g. Under the condition, the terminal performs at least one of the following:

[0184] exist slot or The PUCCH carrying UCI is transmitted on a sub-slot;

[0185] In each slot or each sub-slot, PUCCH is transmitted based on the same number of consecutive OFDM symbols nrofSymbols;

[0186] In each slot or each sub-slot, the starting symbol for transmitting the PUCCH is the same.

[0187] It is understandable that in case of non-repeated transmission, e.g. Under the condition of , the action performed by the terminal is similar to the aforementioned repeated transmission process, the difference is that the terminal transmits the same PUCCH 1 times, and the specific process is not repeated here.

[0188] The starting symbol for transmitting the PUCCH is determined based on the following method:

[0189] Method 1: If subslotLengthForPUCCH is not configured, it is determined based on startingSymbolIndex.

[0190] Method 2: If subslotLengthForPUCCH is configured, subslotLengthForPUCCH is modulo startingSymbolIndex (ie, mod(startingSymbolIndex, subslotLengthForPUCCH)), and the starting symbol is determined based on the remainder.

[0191] In some embodiments, when a terminal transmits PUCCH based on a slot or sub-slot, if the number of PUCCH symbols that can be transmitted in the current slot is less than the number of symbols nrofSymbols required for PUCCH transmission, the terminal may give up transmitting PUCCH in the slot or sub-slot.

[0192] The present disclosure provides the following information transmission method, device, and storage medium.

[0193] FIG2 is an interactive diagram of an information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2 , the present disclosure embodiment relates to an information transmission method, which includes:

[0194] In step S2101, the terminal 101 determines a first time unit in which first information is transmitted from different types of time units. In some embodiments, the different types of time units may include but are not limited to non-subband full-duplex (non-SBFD) time units and SBFD time units.

[0195] It is understandable that if the time units are divided into types in other ways, the solution provided by the present disclosure is also applicable.

[0196] In some embodiments, a non-SBFD time unit refers to an uplink time unit, a downlink time unit, or a flexible time unit that is not configured with a UL subband and / or a DL subband. The time unit in this disclosure can be a symbol, a slot, a sub-slot, etc., which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0197] For example, in FIG. 1B , the first type of time unit may include slot#n and slot#(n+4).

[0198] In addition to non-SBFD time units, this disclosure also includes SBFD time units. SBFD time units can refer to uplink time units, downlink time units, or flexible time units that configure UL subbands and / or DL ​​subbands. For example, in Figure 1B , SBFD time units can include slot #(n+1), slot #(n+2), and slot #(n+3).

[0199] In some embodiments, the time unit of the present disclosure may be a symbol, a time slot, a sub-time slot, etc., which is not limited in the present disclosure. The concept of a sub-time slot has been introduced in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0200] In some embodiments, the time unit may also be referred to as a time domain location, or a time domain resource location, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0201] In some embodiments, the first information may be downlink information, including but not limited to PDSCH or PDCCH.

[0202] In some embodiments, the first information may be uplink information, including but not limited to at least one of the following: PUCCH, PUSCH, SRS, etc. This disclosure is mainly described using PUCCH as an example. It is understood that implementations of transmitting other uplink information or downlink information based on the solution provided by this disclosure should also fall within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0203] In some embodiments, the solution of the present disclosure may be applicable to a scenario in which the first information is repeatedly transmitted. Of course, it may also be applicable to a scenario in which the first information is not repeatedly transmitted, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0204] In some embodiments, corresponding to the resources occupied by PUCCH transmission in SBFD time units or non-SBFD time units, possible scenarios include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following:

[0205] Scenario 1: For the same PUCCH, the terminal 101 determines the time-frequency domain resources corresponding to the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit based on the PUCCH resource IE configuration corresponding to the same PUCCH resource id. The PUCCH resource configuration is determined based on the PUCCH resource Id in the same PUCCH resource setId.

[0206] It should be noted that the same PUCCH resource here can be understood as: using the resource configuration corresponding to the same PUCCH resource identifier, or the number of symbols occupied in the same slot or subslot is equal, and / or the number of RBs occupied by PUCCH resources in different slots or subslots is equal.

[0207] Corresponding to the same PUCCH resource, the terminal 101 can determine the time-frequency domain resources corresponding to the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit based on the same configuration information (for example, the information field), or can determine the time-frequency domain resources corresponding to the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit based on different configuration information (for example, the information field). The present invention does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0208] Take the starting physical resource block (startingPRB) where PUCCH transmission is located as an example:

[0209] Terminal 101 may determine the frequency domain starting positions corresponding to the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit based on the same startingPRB configuration, and for the non-SBFD time unit, the configuration indicates that the startingPRB is the first RB where the PUCCH transmission is located in the corresponding carrier; or

[0210] For the SBFD time unit, the first RB where the PUCCH is transmitted may be equal to the RB corresponding to the startingPRB, or may be equal to the RB corresponding to the startingPRB+Δ, where Δ may be equal to the difference between the lowest RB of the UL subband and the lowest RB of the UL BWP; or

[0211] The terminal 101 can determine the frequency domain starting positions corresponding to the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit based on different startingPRB configurations. For example, the terminal 101 can determine the starting PRB where the PUCCH transmission corresponding to the SBFD is located based on the startingPRB-SBFD configuration.

[0212] In scenario 2, corresponding to the same PUCCH, the terminal 101 determines the time-frequency domain resources corresponding to the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit based on different PUCCH resource configurations, and the PUCCH resource is determined based on different PUCCH resource IDs within the same PUCCH resource setId.

[0213] Here, the PUCCH resources corresponding to different PUCCH resource configurations may be understood as resources corresponding to different PUCCH resource identifiers in the same PUCCH resource set.

[0214] Exemplarily, corresponding to different PUCCH resources, under certain conditions, the same PUCCH is allowed to be transmitted on different PUCCH resources.

[0215] Exemplarily, the same PUCCH can be transmitted based on the PUCCH resource corresponding to the i-th SBFD and the PUCCH resource corresponding to the i-th non-SBFD. Exemplarily, the PUCCH resource id corresponding to the same PUCCH can be determined based on the signaling configuration. Exemplarily, the terminal can determine the PUCCH resource to be transmitted in the non-SBFD and SBFD time units based on the PUCCH-resourceId and PUCCH-resourceId-SBFD of the CSI-reportconfig, respectively.

[0216] Scenario 3, corresponding to PUCCH on SBFD and non-SBFD, the terminal 101 configures PUCCH resources for transmitting the PUCCH on SBFD and non-SBFD based on different PUCCH resource sets.

[0217] Exemplarily, corresponding to PUCCH resources of different PUCCH resource sets and / or PUCCH-configs, under certain conditions, the same PUCCH is allowed to be transmitted on different PUCCH resources.

[0218] Exemplarily, the transmission of PUCCH on SBFD and non-SBFD can be based on the PUCCH resource corresponding to the same PUCCH resource ID in different PUCCH resource sets. Exemplarily, the PUCCH transmitted on SBFD is based on the PUCCH resource corresponding to the first identifier (ID) of the first PUCCH resource set; and exemplary, the PUCCH transmitted on non-SBFD is based on the PUCCH resource corresponding to the first ID of the second PUCCH resource set.

[0219] Exemplarily, the terminal may determine the PUCCH resource corresponding ID where the PUCCH is transmitted on SBFD and non-SBFD based on the PUCCH-resourceId or PUCCH-resourceId-SBFD of the CSI-reportconfig.

[0220] Exemplarily, the terminal determines the PUCCH resource set to which the PUCCH resource where the PUCCH transmission is located belongs based on the following method.

[0221] A possible implementation method is to introduce a second PUCCH resource set list, where the second PUCCH resource set list corresponds to the PUCCH configuration of SBFD. Exemplarily, the first PUCCH resource set list is used to configure the PUCCH resource corresponding to non-SBFD. Exemplarily, the first PUCCH resource set list is configured based on resourceSetToAddModList.

[0222] In one possible implementation, the terminal determines, based on an existing mechanism, for example, the number of UCI bits carried by the PUCCH, the PUCCH resource set used in the second PUCCH resource set list corresponding to SBFD or the PUCCH resource set used in the first PUCCH resource set list corresponding to non-SBFD in the SBFD scenario.

[0223] Taking the second PUCCH resource set list as an example, the terminal 101 may determine the PUCCH resource set to be actually applied based on the following rules:

[0224] The proportion of UCI is less than or equal to 2, that is, UCI ≤2, the PUCCH resource set actually used is the PUCCH resource set corresponding to PUCCH ResourceSetId=0 in the second PUCCH resource set list (if configured);

[0225] Exemplarily, under the condition that HARQ-ACK and SR are transmitted simultaneously, the UCI includes 1 or 2 HARQ-ACK information bits and a positive or negative SR transmitted at an SR (scheduling request) transmission moment.

[0226] The number of UCI bits is greater than 2 and less than or equal to N2, that is, 2 < O UCI ≤N2, the PUCCH resource set actually used is the PUCCH resource set corresponding to PUCCH ResourceSetId=1 in the second PUCCH resource set list (if configured), where if the signaling maxPayloadSize is configured, N2 is determined based on the indication signaling; otherwise, if the signaling is not configured, N2 is equal to 1706, or

[0227] The number of UCI bits is greater than N2 and less than or equal to N3, that is, N2 < UCI CI ≤N3, where N3 is equal to the maximum payload size or 1706, the PUCCH resource set actually used is the PUCCH resource set corresponding to PUCCH ResourceSetId=2 in the second PUCCH resource set list (if configured), where if the signaling maxPayloadSize is configured, N2 is determined based on the indication signaling; otherwise, if the signaling is not configured, N2 is equal to 1706; or

[0228] The number of UCI bits is greater than N3 and less than or equal to 1706, that is, N3 < 0 UCI ≤17063, the PUCCH resource set actually used is the PUCCH resource set corresponding to PUCCH ResourceSetId=3 in the second PUCCH resource set list (if configured).

[0229] In another possible implementation manner, the terminal 101 may determine resources corresponding to SBFD and non-SBFD based on the first PUCCH resource set list.

[0230] Exemplarily, based on the same resource set corresponding to the same ResourceSetId, the terminal determines the non-SBFD corresponding resource based on the first PUCCH resource list, and determines the SBFD corresponding resource based on the second PUCCH resource list.

[0231] Exemplarily, the first PUCCH resource list may be configured based on resourceList.

[0232] In another possible implementation manner, the terminal 101 may determine PUCCH resources corresponding to SBFD and non-SBFD based on the first PUCCH resource list.

[0233] For one or more PUCCH resource lists included in the first PUCCH resource list, the terminal 101 may determine the PUCCH resource corresponding to the SBFD time unit and the PUCCH resource corresponding to the non-SBFD time unit based on signaling indication or a predefined method.

[0234] Taking a predefined manner as an example, the terminal 101 may determine, based on a predefined manner, that the first N PUCCH resources correspond to non-SBFD, and the remaining PUCCH resources correspond to SBFD, where N is determined based on a predefined or signaling indication. Taking a predefined manner as an example, the terminal 101 may determine, based on a predefined manner, that the PUCCH resource corresponding to an even-numbered resource id corresponds to a non-SBFD time unit, and the PUCCH resource corresponding to an odd-numbered resource id corresponds to a SBFD time unit; or, determine that the PUCCH resource corresponding to an odd-numbered resource id corresponds to a non-SBFD time unit, and the PUCCH resource corresponding to an even-numbered resource id corresponds to a SBFD time unit.

[0235] In another possible implementation, the terminal 101 may determine the PUCCH resource corresponding to the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit based on the first PUCCH resource. For the PUCCH resource corresponding to the same resource ID, the terminal 101 may determine the resource corresponding to SBFD and non-SBFD respectively based on different signaling configurations. Taking the starting physical resource block (PRB) as an example, the terminal 101 may determine the starting RB position corresponding to the PUCCH when the terminal transmits on the non-SBFD time unit based on the first starting PRB configuration (e.g., startingPRB), and the terminal 101 may determine the starting RB position corresponding to the PUCCH when the terminal transmits on the SBFD time unit based on the second starting PRB configuration.

[0236] It is worth noting that the time unit corresponding to the solution of the present invention can be one or more of a frame, a subframe, a slot, an OFDM symbol, and a sub-slot, and the present invention does not impose any limitation on this.

[0237] It is worth noting that the slot corresponding to the solution of the present invention can be a slot composed of 14 OFDM symbols, or a sub-slot composed of s OFDM symbols, and s can be determined based on signaling indications, for example, based on the subslotLengthForPUCCH indication signaling of PUCCH-config, or based on a predefined method. The present invention does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0238] Corresponding to scenario 1, the same PUCCH can be transmitted in multiple slots or multiple sub-slots based on the same PUCCH resource based on the configuration. During the process of terminal 101 transmitting PUCCH based on slot or sub-slot, if the number of PUCCH RBs that can be transmitted in the current slot or sub-slot is less than the number of RBs required for PUCCH transmission, the terminal abandons transmitting PUCCH in the slot or sub-slot. Exemplarily, the number of PUCCH RBs that can be transmitted by the terminal can be determined based on the PUCCH transmission starting RB and the maximum RB of the carrier or UL BWP or UL subband. Taking the UL subband as an example, the number of PUCCH RBs that can be transmitted by the terminal 101 is shown in Figure 4A.

[0239] For scenarios 2 and 3, if the resources where the same PUCCH is transmitted in SBFD and non-SBFD time units are based on different PUCCH resource configurations, the starting RB and number of continuous RBs corresponding to the corresponding PUCCH transmission may be different. For the above scenarios, it is necessary to consider whether PUCCH transmission across SBFD and non-SBFD time units is supported.

[0240] For the above scenarios 2 and 3, the present disclosure provides the following solution for determining the first time unit in which the first information is transmitted, as follows:

[0241] In some embodiments, terminal 101 may determine the first time unit based on a predefined rule.

[0242] In one example, the terminal 101 may first determine, based on a predefined rule, that the first information supports transmission on the same type of time unit, or determine that the first information supports transmission on different types of time units, and then determine the first time unit based on the number of time unit types that support transmission. In one example, to reduce scheduling complexity, the terminal 101 may determine, based on a predefined rule, such as a protocol agreement, that the first information supports transmission on the same type of time unit in the following manner, but not limited to:

[0243] Mode 1-1: Based on predefined rules, it is directly determined that the first information supports transmission in the same type of time unit.

[0244] For example, it may be directly stipulated by the protocol that the first information is only transmitted in the same type of time unit.

[0245] Mode 1-2: Based on a predefined rule, when the first condition is not met, it is determined that the first information supports transmission in the same type of time unit.

[0246] The first condition is a condition for supporting the transmission of the first information in different types of time units.

[0247] For example, the first condition may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0248] The code rates used when the first information is transmitted in different types of time units are the same;

[0249] The frequency domain resources occupied by the first information when transmitted in different types of time units are the same;

[0250] The number of resource blocks (RBs) occupied by the first information when transmitted in different types of time units is equal;

[0251] The starting resource positions of the first information when transmitted in different types of time units are the same;

[0252] The resources used when the first information is transmitted in different types of time units are the same.

[0253] If the code rate used when the first information is transmitted in the non-SBFD time unit is not equal to the code rate used when the first information is transmitted in the SBFD time unit, the terminal 101 may determine that the first information is supported in the same type of time unit.

[0254] Among them, if the frequency domain resources occupied by the first information when transmitted on different types of time units are different, for example, the first information occupies at least one different frequency domain resource when transmitted on a non-SBFD time unit and an SBFD time unit, then the terminal 101 can determine that the first information is supported on the same type of time unit.

[0255] Among them, if the number of RBs occupied by the first information when transmitted on different types of time units is not equal, for example, the number of RBs occupied by the first information when transmitted on non-SBFD time units and SBFD time units are n1 and n2 respectively, where n1 and n2 are positive integers and are not equal, then the terminal 101 can determine that the first information is supported on the same type of time units.

[0256] Among them, if the starting resource position of the first information when transmitted on different types of time units is different, for example, the starting frequency domain resource position of the first information when transmitted on non-SBFD time units and SBFD time units is different, then the terminal 101 can determine that the first information is supported on the same type of time units.

[0257] If the first information uses different resources when transmitted in different types of time units, for example, corresponding to different resource identifiers, the terminal 101 may determine that the first information is supported in the same type of time units.

[0258] In mode 1-3, the terminal 101 may not expect to transmit the first information in different types of time units based on predefined rules.

[0259] Accordingly, the terminal 101 may determine that the first information supports transmission in the same type of time unit.

[0260] For the above-mentioned methods 1-1 to 1-3, when the terminal determines that the first information supports transmission in the same type of time unit, the terminal may determine the first time unit in the following manner:

[0261] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 determines a time unit type for transmitting the first information based on the type of the initial time unit, thereby determining the first time unit, wherein the initial time unit is the time unit in which the first information is first transmitted.

[0262] For example, the initial time unit in which the first information is first transmitted is a non-SBFD time unit, and the terminal 101 determines that all transmissions of the first information are located in the non-SBFD time unit.

[0263] For another example, the initial time unit in which the first information is first transmitted is the SBFD time unit, and the terminal 101 determines that all transmissions of the first information are located in the SBFD time unit.

[0264] Accordingly, the terminal 101 can determine the first available time unit among different types of time units as the first time unit, wherein the first available time unit is located after the starting time unit and is of the same type as the starting time unit, and the starting time unit is the time unit where the first information is first transmitted.

[0265] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, assuming that the initial time unit is a non-SBFD time unit, the first available time unit may be an uplink time unit or a flexible time unit that is not configured with a downlink subband.

[0266] Assuming that the initial time unit is an SBFD time unit, the first available time unit may be an uplink time unit configured with a downlink subband, a flexible time unit configured with an uplink subband, or a downlink time unit configured with an uplink subband.

[0267] For example, in FIG1B , if the initial time slot in which the first information is first transmitted is slot#n, and its type is non-SBFD, the terminal 101 uses the non-SBFD time slot slot#(n+4) as the first time unit.

[0268] If the initial time slot in which the first information is first transmitted is slot#(n+1), and its type is SBFD, the terminal 101 uses the SBFD time slots slot#(n+2) and slot#(n+3) as the first time unit.

[0269] For example, considering that the available frequency domain resources on the non-SBFD time unit are located within the frequency domain resource range occupied by the uplink BWP, which is greater than the available frequency domain resources on the SBFD time unit (located within the frequency domain resource range occupied by the uplink subband), the terminal 101 can determine, based on predefined rules, that the first information supports transmission on the non-SBFD time unit.

[0270] Accordingly, the terminal 101 may determine the second available time unit among different types of time units as the first time unit, wherein the type of the second available time unit is non-SBFD. The available time unit refers to a time unit that allows uplink transmission. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second available time unit may be an uplink time unit or a flexible time unit that is not configured with a downlink subband.

[0271] For example, in FIG1B , terminal 101 uses non-SBFD time slots slot#n and slot#(n+4) as the first time unit based on a predefined rule.

[0272] For example, if it is desired to make greater use of the SBFD time unit, the terminal 101 may determine, based on a predefined rule, that the first information supports transmission in the SBFD time unit.

[0273] Accordingly, the terminal 101 may determine a third available time unit among different types of time units as the first time unit, wherein the type of the third available time unit is SBFD. The available time unit refers to a time unit that allows uplink transmission. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the third available time unit may be an uplink time unit configured with a downlink subband, a flexible time unit configured with an uplink subband, or a downlink time unit configured with an uplink subband.

[0274] For example, in FIG1B , terminal 101 uses SBFD time slots slot#(n+1), slot#(n+2), and slot#(n+3) as the first time unit based on a predefined rule.

[0275] Illustratively, in order to improve the efficiency of uplink transmission, the terminal 101 may determine the first time unit in which the first information is located based on a type of time unit with a larger number among different types of time units.

[0276] For example, the number of second available time units among different types of time units is greater than the number of third available time units, that is, the number of non-SBFD time units is greater than the number of SBFD time units. The terminal 101 can determine the second available time unit (non-SBFD time unit) as the first time unit, wherein the second available time unit can be an uplink time unit or a flexible time unit that is not configured with a downlink subband among different types of time units.

[0277] For another example, the number of second available time units among different types of time units is less than the number of third available time units, that is, the number of non-SBFD time units is less than the number of SBFD time units. The terminal 101 can determine the third available time unit (SBFD time unit) as the first time unit, where the second available time unit can be an uplink time unit configured with a downlink subband, a flexible time unit configured with an uplink subband, or a downlink time unit configured with an uplink subband among different types of time units.

[0278] For example, in FIG1B , the number of SBFD time slots is greater than the number of non-SBFD time slots. Terminal 101 uses SBFD time slots slot#(n+1), slot#(n+2), and slot#(n+3) as the first time unit based on predefined rules.

[0279] In one example, to fully utilize time domain resources and improve the transmission efficiency of the first information, the terminal 101 may determine, based on predefined rules, such as protocol agreements, that the first information supports transmission in different types of time units in the following manner, but not limited to:

[0280] Mode 2-1: Based on predefined rules, directly determine that the first information supports transmission on different types of time units.

[0281] For example, it may be directly stipulated by the protocol that the first information may be transmitted in different types of time units.

[0282] Mode 2-2: Based on predefined rules, when the first condition is met, it is determined that the first information supports transmission in different types of time units.

[0283] The first condition is a condition for supporting the transmission of the first information in different types of time units.

[0284] For example, the first condition may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0285] The code rates used when the first information is transmitted in different types of time units are the same;

[0286] The frequency domain resources occupied by the first information when transmitted in different types of time units are the same;

[0287] The number of resource blocks (RBs) occupied by the first information when transmitted in different types of time units is equal;

[0288] The starting resource positions of the first information when transmitted in different types of time units are the same;

[0289] The resources used when the first information is transmitted in different types of time units are the same.

[0290] If the code rate used when the first information is transmitted in the non-SBFD time unit is equal to the code rate used when the first information is transmitted in the SBFD time unit, the terminal 101 may determine that the first information is supported in different types of time units.

[0291] Accordingly, the terminal 101 may determine both the second available time unit and the third available time unit among different types of time units as the first time unit.

[0292] Among them, if the frequency domain resources occupied by the first information when transmitted on different types of time units are the same, for example, the first information corresponds to the same one or more frequency domain resources when transmitted on non-SBFD time units and SBFD time units, then the terminal 101 can determine that the first information is supported on different types of time units.

[0293] Accordingly, the terminal 101 may determine both the second available time unit and the third available time unit among different types of time units as the first time unit.

[0294] Among them, if the number of RBs occupied by the first information when transmitted on different types of time units is equal, for example, the number of RBs occupied by the first information when transmitted on non-SBFD time units and SBFD time units is n, and n is a positive integer, then the terminal 101 can determine that the first information is supported on different types of time units.

[0295] Among them, if the starting resource position of the first information when transmitted on different types of time units is the same, for example, the starting frequency domain resource position of the first information when transmitted on the non-SBFD time unit and the SBFD time unit is the same, both are RB#m, m is a positive integer, then the terminal 101 can determine that the first information is supported on different types of time units.

[0296] Among them, if the resources used when the first information is transmitted on different types of time units are the same, for example, corresponding to the same resource identifier, the same resources used here can be understood as the number of occupied time units and / or RB numbers being equal, then the terminal 101 can determine that the first information is supported on different types of time units.

[0297] For the above-mentioned methods 2-1 and 2-2, when the terminal determines that the first information supports transmission over different types of time units, the terminal can determine the first time unit in the following manner: For example, the terminal 101 can determine the second available time unit and the third available time unit of different types of time units as the first time unit. The concepts of the second available time unit and the third available time unit have been introduced in the previous embodiment and will not be repeated here. For example, in Figure 1B, the terminal 101 can determine that the first time unit includes slot #n to slot #(n+4).

[0298] The above description is merely an exemplary description, and solutions in which the terminal 101 determines the first time unit in which the first information is transmitted in different types of time units based on predefined rules should all fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0299] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 may determine the first time unit based on the first signaling sent by the network device 102 .

[0300] In an example, the first signaling may be DCI, Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, Media Access Control Element (MAC CE), etc., which is also not limited in the present disclosure.

[0301] In some embodiments, the first signaling may be used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0302] whether to support transmission of the first information in different types of time units;

[0303] Type of first time unit;

[0304] Whether to support transmission of the first information in the second time unit, where the second time unit includes sub-time units of different types.

[0305] In one example, the first signaling is used to indicate that the first information is not supported to be transmitted on different types of time units, then the terminal 101 can determine that the first information supports transmission on the same type of time unit. Accordingly, a time unit type for the terminal 101 to transmit the first information can be determined based on the type of the initial time unit, thereby determining the first time unit. Alternatively, it can be determined that the first information supports transmission on a non-SBFD time unit or a SBFD time unit, thereby determining the first time unit. Alternatively, it can also be determined that the first time unit where the first information is located is based on a type of time unit with a larger number among different types of time units. The specific implementation method will not be repeated here.

[0306] In one example, the first signaling is used to indicate support for transmission of the first information in different types of time units. Terminal 101 can determine that the first information supports transmission in both non-SBFD time units and SBFD time units. Accordingly, Terminal 101 can use both the second available time unit and the third available time unit as the first time unit. The specific implementation is also not further described.

[0307] In one example, the first signaling is used to indicate the type of the first time unit, such as non-SBFD and / or SBFD. The terminal 101 directly determines the second available time unit and / or the third available time unit as the first time unit based on the first signaling in accordance with the corresponding implementation method provided in the above embodiment.

[0308] In an example, the first signaling is used to indicate whether to support transmission of the first information in the second time unit, where the second time unit includes sub-time units of different types.

[0309] The sub-time unit is a time domain unit with a length smaller than the time unit. For example, the second time unit is in slots, and the sub-time unit can be in sub-slots or symbols.

[0310] For example, if the second time unit includes two types of sub-time units, the network device 102 may indicate, through the first signaling, whether to support the transmission of the first information in the second time unit.

[0311] For example, slot#n includes non-SBFD symbols and SBFD symbols, and the first information is used to indicate that slot#n supports the transmission of the first information. Then the terminal 101 can determine that the first information supports transmission on different types of time units. Accordingly, the above-mentioned second available time unit and the third available time unit can be determined as the first time unit.

[0312] For another example, slot#n' includes non-SBFD sub-timeslots and SBFD sub-timeslots, and the first information is used to indicate that slot#n' does not support the transmission of the first information. The terminal 101 can determine that the first information supports transmission on the same type of time unit, and accordingly, the first time unit can be determined according to the above embodiment.

[0313] The above description is merely an exemplary description, and all solutions in which the terminal 101 determines the first time unit in which the first information is transmitted in different types of time units based on the first signaling should fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0314] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 may also adopt the above-mentioned predefined method or based on the first signaling sent by the network device 102 to determine the first time unit in which the first information is repeatedly transmitted or non-repeatedly transmitted in the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit. The specific implementation process is similar to the above process and will not be repeated here.

[0315] In some embodiments, it should be noted that the first available time unit, the second available time unit, and the third available time unit may be located within a time window, which may include M time units, and the M time units may include SBFD time units and / or non-SBFD time units. Based on the above scheme, the terminal 101 determines one or two of the first available time unit, the second available time unit, and the third available time unit as the first time unit. M may be determined by a protocol agreement or indicated by the network device 102, and this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0316] In step S2102 , the network device 102 determines, among different types of time units, a first time unit in which the first information is transmitted.

[0317] In some embodiments, the network device 102 may determine the first time unit based on a predefined rule in a manner similar to that of the terminal 101, which is not described in detail here.

[0318] In some embodiments, the network device 102 may configure the first time unit for the terminal 101 based on its own implementation.

[0319] Step S2103 , the network device 102 sends a first signaling to the terminal 101 .

[0320] In some embodiments, the network device 102 may send a first signaling to the terminal 101 after configuring a first time unit for the terminal 101 .

[0321] In some embodiments, terminal 101 receives first signaling.

[0322] In some embodiments, the first signaling may be used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0323] whether to support transmission of the first information in different types of time units;

[0324] Type of first time unit;

[0325] Whether to support transmission of the first information in the second time unit, where the second time unit includes sub-time units of different types.

[0326] The solution for the terminal 101 to determine the first time unit based on the first signaling has been introduced in step S2101 and will not be repeated here.

[0327] In step S2104 , the terminal 101 and the network device 102 transmit first information in a first time unit.

[0331] In some embodiments, the first information is downlink information, and the network device 102 sends the first information to the terminal 101 based on the first time unit determined in step S2101.

[0384] Terminal side:

[0385] The terminal side performs corresponding PUCCH transmission in the SBFD scenario according to the rules designed by the invention solution:

[0386] Method 1: The terminal determines the time unit for PUCCH transmission based on predefined rules:

[0387] Method 1-1: The terminal transmits PUCCH in the same type of time unit, which can be a time unit corresponding to SBFD or a time unit corresponding to non-SBFD:

[0388] The terminal determines the time unit type in which the PUCCH is transmitted based on the time unit type in which the PUCCH is first transmitted;

[0389] Method 1-2: When the first condition is met, the terminal determines that it can transmit PUCCH in both SBFD and non-SBFD time units. Otherwise, the terminal can only transmit PUCCH based on the same type of time unit. For details, refer to Method 1-1. The first condition includes one or more of the following:

[0390] The PUCCH transmitted in the SBFD time unit and the PUCCH transmitted in the non-SBFD time unit have the same code rate;

[0391] The number of RBs occupied by the PUCCH transmitted in the SBFD corresponding time unit and the PUCCH transmitted in the non-SBFD corresponding time unit is the same;

[0392] Method 1-3: The terminal does not expect to transmit PUCCH in different types of time units:

[0393] If PUCCH transmission is enabled and PUCCH transmission spans the time units corresponding to PUCCH and non-SBFD, the terminal abandons PUCCH transmission;

[0394] Method 2: The terminal determines the time unit for PUCCH transmission based on indication signaling, where the indication signaling includes at least one of the following:

[0396] Indicates the time unit type of the corresponding PUCCH transmission, the time unit type is SBFD corresponding time unit and / or non-SBFD corresponding time unit;

[0397] If the slot where the PUCCH is located contains both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols (sub-slot), the signaling indicates whether the terminal can transmit PUCCH in the slot;

[0398] Network equipment (base station) side:

[0399] The base station side determines the PUCCH transmission rule in the SBFD scenario according to the rules designed by the invention solution and receives the corresponding PUCCH:

[0400] Method 1: The base station determines the time unit for PUCCH transmission based on predefined rules:

[0401] Method 1-1: The base station receives PUCCH in the same type of time unit, which can be a time unit corresponding to SBFD or a time unit corresponding to non-SBFD:

[0402] The base station determines the time unit type in which the PUCCH is transmitted based on the time unit type in which the PUCCH is first transmitted;

[0403] Method 1-2: When the first condition is met, the base station determines that it can receive PUCCH in both SBFD and non-SBFD time units. Otherwise, the base station can only receive PUCCH based on the same type of time units. For details, refer to Method 1-1. The first condition includes one or more of the following:

[0409] Indicates whether the corresponding PUCCH can be transmitted based on different time unit types;

[0410] Indicates the time unit type of the corresponding PUCCH transmission, the time unit type is SBFD corresponding time unit and / or non-SBFD corresponding time unit;

[0411] If the slot where the PUCCH is located contains both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols (sub-slot), the signaling indicates whether the terminal can transmit the PUCCH in the slot.

[0412] The following will describe the specific implementation of the present invention from the perspective of the terminal:

[0413] Assuming that the terminal supports the SBFD feature, the terminal transmits uplink data on the UL subband based on the DL or flexible symbol configured by the base station.

[0414] As described above, the embodiments of the present invention use PUCCH as an example to illustrate the solution of the present invention. The solution can also be applied to other uplink transmission signals or uplink reference signals such as PUSCH and SRS, which will not be described in detail in the present invention.

[0415] This embodiment takes PUCCH as an example, and considers that based on the transmission based on PUCCH repetition, the terminal determines the frequency domain range in which the terminal transmits PUCCH based on the configuration, and the frequency domain range can be based on the UL BWP or UL subband configuration. If the terminal is in the SBFD symbol, the terminal performs uplink data transmission within the UL subband range. The UL subband refers to the intersection of the configured UL subband and the UL BWP in the frequency domain range, that is, the frequency domain range corresponding to the UL subband for uplink data transmission by the terminal is less than or equal to the frequency domain range occupied by the UL BWP. Corresponding to the resources occupied by PUCCH in the SBFD time unit or the non-SBFD time unit, the possible configuration methods include one or more of the following:

[0416] Scenario 1: For the same PUCCH, the terminal determines the time-frequency domain resources corresponding to the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit based on the same PUCCH resource configuration, and the PUCCH resource is determined based on the PUCCH resource Id in the same PUCCH resource setId. For the same PUCCH resource, the terminal can determine the time-frequency domain resources corresponding to the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit based on the same configuration, or determine the time-frequency domain resources corresponding to the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit based on different configurations. The present invention does not limit this. Take the startingPRB where the PUCCH transmission is located as an example:

[0417] The terminal can determine the frequency domain starting position corresponding to the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit based on the same startingPRB configuration. For the non-SBFD time unit, the parameter is the first RB where the PUCCH transmission is located in the corresponding carrier;

[0418] For the SBFD time unit, the first RB where the PUCCH is transmitted can be equal to the RB corresponding to the startingPRB, or equal to the RB corresponding to the startingPRB+Δ, where Δ can be equal to the lowest RB of the UL subband minus the lowest RB of the UL BWP.

[0419] The terminal can determine the frequency domain starting positions corresponding to the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit based on different startingPRB configurations. For example, the terminal can determine the starting PRB where the PUCCH transmission corresponding to SBFD is located based on the startingPRB-SBFD configuration.

[0420] Scenario 2: Corresponding to the same PUCCH, the terminal determines the time-frequency domain resources corresponding to the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit based on different PUCCH resource configurations, and the PUCCH resource is determined based on different PUCCH resource Ids within the same PUCCH resource setId. Exemplarily, corresponding to different PUCCH resources, under specific conditions, the same PUCCH is allowed to be transmitted on different PUCCH resources. Exemplarily, the same PUCCH can be transmitted based on the PUCCH resource corresponding to the i-th SBFD and the PUCCH resource corresponding to the i-th non-SBFD. Exemplarily, the PUCCH resource id corresponding to the same PUCCH can be determined based on the signaling configuration. Exemplarily, the terminal can determine the PUCCH resource where the transmission is located based on the PUCCH-resourceId or PUCCH-resourceId-SBFD of the CSI-reportconfig.

[0421] Scenario 3: For PUCCH on SBFD and non-SBFD, the terminal is configured separately based on different PUCCH resource sets. For example, corresponding to PUCCH resources of different PUCCH resource sets and / or PUCCH-config, under certain conditions, the same PUCCH is allowed to be transmitted on different PUCCH resources. For example, the same PUCCH can be transmitted based on the PUCCH resource corresponding to the same PUCCH resource Id in different PUCCH resource sets. For example, the terminal can determine the PUCCH resource where the transmission is located based on the PUCCH-resourceId or PUCCH-resourceId-SBFD of the CSI-reportconfig.

[0422] A possible implementation method is to introduce a second PUCCH resource set list, where the second PUCCH resource set list corresponds to the PUCCH configuration of SBFD. Exemplarily, the first PUCCH resource set list is used to configure the PUCCH resource corresponding to non-SBFD. Exemplarily, the first PUCCH resource set list is configured based on resourceSetToAddModList.

[0423] In one possible implementation, the terminal determines, based on the existing mechanism, for example, the number of UCI bits carried by PUCCH, the PUCCH resource set used in the second PUCCH resource set list corresponding to SBFD or the PUCCH resource set used in the first PUCCH resource set list corresponding to non-SBFD in the SBFD scenario.

[0424] Taking the second PUCCH resource set list as an example, the terminal determines the PUCCH resource set to be actually applied based on the following rules:

[0425] The proportion of UCI is less than or equal to 2, that is, UCI ≤2, the PUCCH resource set actually used is the PUCCH resource set corresponding to PUCCH ResourceSetId=0 in the second PUCCH resource set list (if configured);

[0426] Exemplarily, under the condition that HARQ-ACK and SR are transmitted simultaneously, the UCI includes 1 or 2 HARQ-ACK information bits and a positive or negative SR transmitted at an SR transmission moment.

[0427] The number of UCI bits is greater than 2 and less than or equal to N2, that is, 2 < O UCI ≤N2, the PUCCH resource set actually used is the PUCCH resource set corresponding to PUCCH ResourceSetId=1 in the second PUCCH resource set list (if configured), where if the signaling maxPayloadSize is configured, N2 is determined based on the indication signaling; otherwise, if the signaling is not configured, N2 is equal to 1706, or

[0428] The number of UCI bits is greater than N2 and less than or equal to N3, that is, N2 < UCI CI≤N3, where N3 is equal to the maximum payload size or 1706, the PUCCH resource set actually used is the PUCCH resource set corresponding to PUCCH ResourceSetId=2 in the second PUCCH resource set list (if configured), where if the signaling maxPayloadSize is configured, N2 is determined based on the indication signaling; otherwise, if the signaling is not configured, N2 is equal to 1706; or

[0429] The number of UCI bits is greater than N3 and less than or equal to 1706, that is, N3 < 0 UCI ≤17063, the PUCCH resource set actually used is the PUCCH resource set corresponding to PUCCH ResourceSetId=3 in the second PUCCH resource set list (if configured).

[0430] In another possible implementation, the terminal determines the resources corresponding to SBFD and non-SBFD based on the first PUCCH resource set list. For example, based on the same resource set corresponding to the same ResourceSetId, the terminal determines the resources corresponding to non-SBFD based on the first PUCCH resource list, and determines the resources corresponding to SBFD based on the second PUCCH resource list.

[0431] Exemplarily, the first PUCCH resource list may be configured based on resourceList.

[0432] In another possible implementation manner, the terminal determines the PUCCH resource corresponding to SBFD and non-SBFD based on the first PUCCH resource list. For one or more PUCCH resource lists contained in the first PUCCH resource list, the terminal determines the PUCCH resource corresponding to SBFD and the PUCCH resource corresponding to non-SBFD based on signaling indication or a predefined method. Taking the predefined method as an example, the terminal can determine that the first N PUCCH resources correspond to non-SBFD and the remaining PUCCH resources correspond to SBFD based on a predefined method, where N is determined based on predefinition or signaling indication. Taking the predefined method as an example, the terminal can determine that the PUCCH resource corresponding to an even-numbered resource id corresponds to non-SBFD, and the PUCCH resource corresponding to an odd-numbered resource id corresponds to SBFD based on a predefined method; or, determine that the PUCCH resource corresponding to an odd-numbered resource id corresponds to non-SBFD, and the PUCCH resource corresponding to an even-numbered resource id corresponds to SBFD.

[0433] In another possible implementation, the terminal determines the PUCCH resources corresponding to SBFD and non-SBFD based on the first PUCCH resource. For the PUCCH resource corresponding to the same resource ID, the terminal determines the resources corresponding to SBFD and non-SBFD respectively based on different signaling configurations. Taking the starting PRB as an example, the terminal can determine the starting RB position corresponding to the PUCCH when the terminal transmits on non-SBFD based on the first starting PRB configuration (e.g., startingPRB), and the terminal can determine the starting RB position corresponding to the PUCCH when the terminal transmits on SBFD based on the second starting PRB configuration.

[0434] It is worth noting that the time unit corresponding to the solution of the present invention can be one or more of a frame, a subframe, a slot, an OFDM symbol, and a sub-slot, and the present invention does not impose any limitation on this.

[0435] It is worth noting that the slot corresponding to the solution of the present invention can be a slot composed of 14 OFDM symbols, or a sub-slot composed of n OFDM symbols, where n can be determined based on signaling indication, for example, based on the subslotLengthForPUCCH indication signaling of PUCCH-config, or based on a predefined method, and the present invention does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0436] Corresponding to Scenario 1, the same PUCCH can be transmitted in multiple slots based on the same PUCCH resource, depending on the configuration. During slot-based PUCCH transmission by a terminal, if the number of PUCCH RBs available for transmission in the current slot is less than the number of RBs required for PUCCH transmission, the terminal abandons PUCCH transmission in that slot. For example, the number of PUCCH RBs available for transmission by a terminal can be determined based on the PUCCH transmission starting RB and the carrier, UL BWP, or maximum RB of the UL subband. For example, the number of PUCCH RBs available for transmission by a terminal in a UL subband is shown in Figure 4A.

[0437] For scenarios 2 and 3, if the same PUCCH is transmitted in SBFD and non-SBFD time units based on different PUCCH resource configurations, the starting RB and number of continuous RBs corresponding to the PUCCH transmission may be different. For the above scenarios, it is necessary to consider whether PUCCH transmission across SBFD and non-SBFD time units is supported.

[0438] Implementation method 1 is a possible implementation method. Under the condition that PUCCH transmission is enabled, the terminal determines the time unit type in which PUCCH transmission is located based on a predefined method.

[0439] In Example 1, considering that the same PUCCH is transmitted on the SBFD time unit type and the non-SBFD time unit type, its transmission parameters, such as the transmission starting RB, the number of RBs occupied by the transmission, the transmission code rate, etc. may be different. In order to ensure the performance of PUCCH transmission, the terminal expects to transmit PUCCH based on only one time unit type.

[0440] Exemplarily, the terminal can determine the type of time unit in which the PUCCH is transmitted based on the type of time unit in which the PUCCH is first transmitted: Exemplarily, if the type of time unit in which the terminal transmits the PUCCH for the first time is SBFD, the terminal transmits the remaining PUCCH based on the time unit corresponding to SBFD; conversely, if the type of time unit in which the terminal transmits the PUCCH for the first time is non-SBFD, the terminal transmits the remaining PUCCH based on the time unit corresponding to non-SBFD.

[0441] For example, if PUCCH transmission may span SBFD time units and non-SBFD time units, the terminal can only transmit PUCCH based on non-SBFD corresponding time units.

[0442] For example, if PUCCH transmission may span SBFD time units and non-SBFD time units, the terminal can only transmit PUCCH based on the time units corresponding to SBFD.

[0443] Exemplarily, within the first time unit range, the terminal transmits the corresponding PUCCH based on a time unit with a larger number of time units of the same type. Exemplarily, the first time unit can be the time unit in which the terminal first transmits as the starting unit, and can last for N time units or N non-SBFD and / or SBFD time units, where N is greater than or equal to the number of PUCCH transmissions. Exemplarily, within the first time unit range, the number of SBFD corresponding symbol units is greater than the number of non-SBFD corresponding symbol units, and the terminal transmits the PUCCH based on the SBFD symbol units, and vice versa.

[0444] The time unit in which the terminal first transmits the PUCCH can be determined based on indication signaling or a predefined method, and the present invention is not limited to this. Taking indication signaling as an example, if the terminal transmits the HARQ-ACK corresponding to the PDSCH based on the PUCCH, the terminal can determine the time unit in which the PUCCH first transmits the PUCCH based on the PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field corresponding to the DCI.

[0445] Taking the example of a terminal transmitting a PUCCH based on a slot, and the slot where the terminal transmits the PUCCH for the first time is a slot corresponding to SBFD, an exemplary scenario is shown in FIG4B .

[0446] In Example 2, considering that the same PUCCH transmission in both SBFD and non-SBFD time units requires the same transmission conditions, in this embodiment, the terminal determines whether it can transmit in both SBFD and non-SBFD time units based on whether the transmission conditions are met. If the terminal cannot transmit PUCCH in different time unit types, the terminal performs the corresponding PUCCH transmission based on Example 1, which is not further described here.

[0447] Exemplarily, the transmission conditions include one or more of the following:

[0448] PUCCH transmission starting RB

[0449] Number of RBs occupied by PUCCH transmission

[0450] PUCCH transmission corresponding code rate

[0451] PUCCH transmission corresponds to resource.

[0452] In the following, the scheme of the present invention is described by taking the number of RBs occupied by PUCCH transmission corresponding to the code rate and the number of RBs occupied by PUCCH transmission as an example.

[0453] In embodiment 2-1, illustratively, if the PUCCH transmitted in the SBFD corresponding time unit and the PUCCH transmitted in the non-SBFD corresponding time unit have the same code rate, the terminal transmits the PUCCH based on the SBFD and non-SBFD corresponding time units.

[0454] For example, if the code rates corresponding to the PUCCH transmitted on the SBFD corresponding time unit and the PUCCH transmitted on the non-SBFD corresponding time unit are different, the terminal only transmits the corresponding PUCCH based on the same type of time unit. For the specific implementation method, please refer to Example 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0455] In embodiment 2-2, illustratively, if the PUCCH transmitted in the SBFD corresponding time unit and the PUCCH transmitted in the non-SBFD corresponding time unit occupy the same number of RBs, the terminal transmits the PUCCH based on the SBFD and non-SBFD corresponding time units.

[0456] For example, if the PUCCH transmitted on the SBFD corresponding time unit and the PUCCH transmitted on the non-SBFD corresponding time unit occupy different numbers of RBs, the terminal only transmits the corresponding PUCCH based on the same type of time unit. For the specific implementation method, please refer to Example 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0457] Taking the example of a terminal transmitting PUCCH based on slots and the terminal transmitting PUCCH based on different types of time units, an exemplary scenario is shown in FIG4C .

[0458] In Example 3, considering that the same PUCCH is transmitted on the SBFD time unit type and the non-SBFD time unit type, its transmission parameters, such as the transmission starting RB, the number of RBs occupied by the transmission, the transmission code rate, etc. may be different. In order to ensure the performance of PUCCH transmission, the terminal expects to transmit PUCCH based on only one time unit type.

[0459] If PUCCH transmission spans different types of time units, the terminal abandons PUCCH transmission.

[0460] Taking the time unit as a sub-slot as an example, if the PUCCH is transmitted based on different types of sub-slots, the terminal abandons the PUCCH transmission.

[0461] The solution of the present invention is mainly based on a predefined method to determine the time unit type of PUCCH transmission, which can effectively improve the PUCCH transmission performance.

[0462] In a possible implementation mode 2, under the condition that PUCCH transmission is enabled, the terminal determines the time unit type of PUCCH transmission based on the indication signaling, where the indication signaling indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0463] Indicates whether the corresponding PUCCH can be transmitted based on different time unit types;

[0464] Indicates the time unit type of the corresponding PUCCH transmission, the time unit type is SBFD corresponding time unit and / or non-SBFD corresponding time unit;

[0465] If the slot where the PUCCH is located contains both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols (sub-slot), the signaling indicates whether the terminal can transmit the PUCCH in the slot.

[0466] Exemplarily, the base station sends an indication signaling to indicate whether to enable corresponding PUCCH transmission based on different time unit types. If enabled, the terminal determines that PUCCH can be transmitted based on different time unit types.

[0467] Exemplarily, the base station sends an indication signaling to indicate the time unit type in which the PUCCH is transmitted. The time unit type may be one of SBFD, non-SBFD, SBFD, and non-SBFD.

[0468] If the corresponding indication signaling indicates SBFD, the terminal transmits the corresponding PUCCH based on the time unit corresponding to SBFD;

[0469] If the corresponding indication signaling indicates non-SBFD, the terminal transmits the corresponding PUCCH based on the time unit corresponding to SBFD;

[0470] If the corresponding indication signaling indicates SBFD and non-SBFD, the terminal transmits the corresponding PUCCH based on two types of time units: SBFD and non-SBFD.

[0471] For example, when the slot where the PUCCH is transmitted includes two sub-slots or symbol types, SBFD and non-SBFD, the base station sends an indication signaling to indicate whether the PUCCH can be enabled to transmit the corresponding PUCCH based on different time unit types. If enabled, the terminal determines that the PUCCH can be transmitted based on different time unit types in the slot;

[0472] The solution of the present invention is mainly based on a signaling indication method to determine the time unit type of PUCCH transmission, which can effectively improve the PUCCH transmission performance.
