Uplink Control Information Multiplexing Priority Handling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current uplink transmission methods lack clear definitions for processing time requirements when multiplexing uplink control information on physical uplink control channels (PUCCHs) or physical uplink shared channels (PUSCHs with different priorities, leading to unclear behaviors in existing systems.
Innovation Solution
The proposed method involves a terminal performing specific operations based on priority and timing conditions, such as multiplexing or not multiplexing uplink control information on channels with higher priorities, to improve reliability by adhering to defined processing time requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If uplink control information is multiplexed on channels with different priorities, then transmission efficiency is improved, but processing time requirements become unclear and reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by introducing priority levels (first priority, second priority, third priority) for different channels and defining specific processing time requirements based on these priority parameters. When a first channel overlaps with a second channel, or a second channel overlaps with a third channel, the terminal determines whether to multiplex uplink control information based on the priority parameters and corresponding processing time thresholds, thereby resolving the contradiction between transmission efficiency and reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making the multiplexing decision adaptive rather than static. The terminal dynamically determines whether to multiplex uplink control information on the third channel based on real-time conditions: the priority relationships between overlapping channels and whether the processing time meets the required threshold. This dynamic approach allows the system to optimize transmission efficiency while maintaining reliability under varying channel conditions
2Device complexity
If processing time requirements are not clearly defined, then system complexity is reduced, but transmission reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the channel overlap scenario into distinct segments with clear boundaries: (1) first channel overlapping second channel, (2) second channel overlapping third channel, and (3) the decision point for multiplexing on the third channel. Each segment has clearly defined priority relationships and processing time requirements, which reduces system complexity by providing structured decision rules while ensuring transmission reliability through explicit thresholds
3Productivity
If uplink control information is always multiplexed on highest priority channel, then transmission efficiency is improved, but processing time constraints may be violated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by requiring the terminal to perform a preliminary check of the processing time before multiplexing uplink control information on the third channel. The terminal first determines whether the processing time meets the required threshold based on channel priorities, and only then proceeds with multiplexing if the condition is satisfied. This preliminary verification ensures that transmission efficiency is improved through multiplexing while processing time constraints are not violated

AI summary
An uplink transmission method includes that in a case that a first channel overlaps a second channel in time, the second channel overlaps a third channel in time, and a priority corresponding to the third channel is higher than a priority corresponding to the first channel and a priority corresponding to the second channel, a terminal performs a first operation. The first operation includes: multiplexing first uplink control information on the third channel for transmission; or not multiplexing the first uplink control information on the third channel for transmission. The first uplink control information is uplink control information carried on the first channel.
