Summary of the invention

The present application provides a method and communication device for transmitting uplink information, which can multiplex uplink control information for transmission on an uplink data channel, thereby improving transmission reliability and system efficiency.

In the first aspect, a method for transmitting uplink information is provided. The method can be executed by a terminal device or a module (such as a chip) in the terminal device.

The method includes: determining the first time-frequency resource and the uplink control information carried on the uplink control channel to be transmitted; determining the second time-frequency resource and the N uplink data channels to be transmitted thereon, the N uplink data channels The same transport block is carried on it, and N is an integer greater than 1. In the case where the first time-frequency resource and the second time-frequency resource overlap in the time domain, if there is an uplink data channel satisfying the first condition among the N uplink data channels, the uplink control information is carried on the first Send on the target channel. Wherein, the first target channel is an uplink data channel satisfying a first condition among the N uplink data channels, and the first condition is a timeline condition for the uplink control information to be multiplexed and transmitted on the uplink data channel.

Therefore, based on the method for transmitting uplink information provided by this application, as long as the N uplink data channels have an uplink data channel that meets the timeline condition for uplink control information to be multiplexed on the uplink data channel for transmission, all uplink data is not required If the channels meet the timeline condition, the uplink control information that should be carried on the uplink control channel can be transmitted on the uplink data channel that meets the timeline condition for the uplink control information to be multiplexed on the uplink data channel for transmission. Therefore, the problem of discarding uplink control information in the prior art can be avoided, thereby improving the reliability of transmission and improving system efficiency. In addition, since there is no need to perform uplink control information retransmission scheduling, the scheduling signaling overhead can be reduced.

It should be understood that the overlapping of "A" and "B" in the time domain or the overlapping of "A" and "B" in this application may include partial overlap of "A" and "B" in the time domain and "A" and " B" completely overlaps the two cases in the time domain. In other words, whether "A" and "B" completely overlap in the time domain or "A" and "B" partially overlap in the time domain, the method provided in this application can be used.

In this application, the timeline condition for the uplink control information to be multiplexed on the uplink data channel for transmission, that is, the first condition, refers to: (1) The uplink control channel and the uplink data channel that overlap in the time domain are the earliest in time The time interval between the first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of the channel and the end time of the downlink data channel is not less than the first threshold. Wherein, any one of the uplink data channel and the uplink control channel corresponds to the downlink data channel, that is, the uplink control channel or the uplink data channel carries feedback information of the downlink data channel. (2) The time interval between the first OFDM symbol of the earliest channel in the uplink control channel and the uplink data channel overlapping in the time domain and the end time of the downlink control channel is not less than the second threshold. Wherein, any one of the uplink data channel and the uplink control channel corresponds to the downlink control channel. The corresponding meaning here is: the downlink control channel schedules the downlink data channel, and the uplink control channel or the uplink data channel carries the downlink data channel. Feedback information; or, the downlink control channel schedules uplink data channel transmission. In the above, the first threshold may be N1+X OFDM symbols, and the second threshold may be N2+Y OFDM symbols. Among them, N1 represents the processing time of the terminal device on the downlink data channel, that is, after the terminal device receives the downlink data channel, it demodulates and decodes it and generates feedback information for sending. N2 represents the preparation time of the terminal equipment for the uplink data channel, that is, the time for the terminal equipment to demodulate and decode the signaling after receiving the scheduling information of the uplink data channel and prepare the uplink data channel group packet for transmission according to the signaling. X and Y are pre-configured, pre-defined or the number of OFDM symbols indicated by the network device. It should be understood that if the uplink control channel or the uplink data channel requires scheduling or activation of the downlink control channel, the uplink control channel and the uplink data channel need to meet the above two conditions at the same time. If the uplink control channel or the uplink data channel is free of scheduling or activation, only the first condition needs to be met.

Transmission on the data channel. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the problem of discarding the uplink control information or the uplink control channel for the N uplink data channels existing in the prior art as long as there are uplink data channels that do not meet the first condition, thereby improving transmission reliability and system efficiency. .

It should be understood that the meaning that the second target channel is later than the first target channel means that the time-frequency resource carrying the second target channel is located behind the time-frequency resource carrying the first target channel in the time domain. It can be understood that the uplink data channels after the first target channel among the N uplink data channels all satisfy the first condition.

Based on this scheme, by using the inherent repetition of the uplink data channel to repeatedly send the uplink control information, the transmission reliability of the uplink control information can be further improved.

Therefore, the terminal device can discard the uplink control channel and transmit the uplink control information on the uplink data channel multiplexed by the uplink control information.

The method for transmitting uplink information provided in this application determines the uplink data channel multiplexed by the uplink control information according to the service type or priority, which can be more reasonable when the uplink control channel overlaps with multiple uplink data channels. transmission. For example, the transmission of information with higher priority can be guaranteed as much as possible, or the transmission of services with higher reliability and delay requirements can be guaranteed as much as possible, or the transmission of uplink control information can be guaranteed as much as possible, so that network equipment can obtain timely Transmission of feedback information.

Optionally, the manner of expressing or indicating the priority of the uplink control information and the uplink data channel may refer to the description of the priority of the uplink control information and the uplink data channel above, and details are not repeated here.

Optionally, the service type of the uplink data channel can be indicated by any one of the following information:

(1) The time unit length of uplink data channel scheduling. That is, the time unit length of the uplink data channel scheduling may indicate the service type of the uplink data channel.

For example, if the time unit of the uplink data channel scheduling is a mini-slot, the service type of the uplink data channel is considered to be ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC), if the time unit of the uplink data channel scheduling is Time slot, it can be considered that the service type of the uplink data channel is enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB).

(2) Scrambling the RNTI for scheduling the downlink control information of the uplink data channel. That is, the type of RNTI that scrambles the downlink control information of the uplink data channel for scheduling may indicate the service type of the uplink data channel.

For example, if the RNTI that scrambles the downlink control information for scheduling the uplink data channel is the first RNTI, the service type of the uplink data channel is considered to be URLLC. The first RNTI may be, for example, modulation and coding scheme-cell-radio network temporary identifier (MCS-C-RNTI) or a configured scheduling radio network temporary identifier (modulation and coding scheme-cell-radio network temporary identifier, MCS-C-RNTI), CS-RNTI). If the RNTI that scrambles the downlink control information for scheduling the uplink data channel is the second RNTI, it is considered that the service type of the uplink data channel is eMBB. The type of the second RNTI is different from that of the first RNTI. The second RNTI may be, for example, a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI).

(3) The payload size (payload size) of the downlink control information for scheduling the uplink data channel. That is, the load size of the downlink control information for scheduling the uplink data channel may indicate the service type of the uplink data channel.

For example, if the downlink control information load size of the scheduled uplink data channel #1 is smaller than the downlink control information load size of the scheduled uplink data channel #2, then the uplink data channel #1 is considered to be a URLLC service, and the uplink data channel #2 is an eMBB service. For another example, if the load size of the downlink control information for scheduling uplink data channel #1 is greater than or equal to a certain preset threshold, the service type of the uplink data channel is considered to be eMBB, otherwise it is URLLC.

(4) MCS table used in the uplink data channel. That is, the MCS table adopted by the uplink data channel can implicitly indicate the service type of the uplink data channel.

For example, if the uplink data channel uses an MCS table with low spectrum efficiency, the service type of the uplink data channel is considered to be URLLC. If the uplink data channel uses an MCS table with high spectral efficiency, or contains an MCS table with a modulation mode of 256 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), the service type of the uplink data channel is considered to be eMBB.

(5) Scheduling a certain DCI field in the downlink control information of the uplink data channel. That is, the service type of the uplink data channel can be indicated by a value in a DCI field in the downlink control information of the scheduling uplink data channel. The DCI field may include one bit or multiple bits.

The indication mode of the service type of the uplink control information is similar to the indication mode of the service type of the uplink data channel. The difference is that the service type of the uplink control information can be the service type of the downlink data channel corresponding to the uplink control information. The corresponding meaning of the data channel is that the uplink control information includes the feedback of the downlink data channel. At this time, the downlink control information for scheduling the uplink control channel here means the downlink control information for scheduling the downlink data channel.

It should be understood that determining the service type of the uplink data channel may be replaced by determining any one of (1) to (5) above. Similarly, the determination of the service type of the uplink control information can be replaced by the determination similar to any of (1) to (5) above.

In this application, PUSCH is used as the uplink data channel, the physical downlink share channel (PDSCH) is used as the downlink data channel, PUCCH is used as the uplink control channel, and the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is used as the downlink control channel. , Uplink control information (UCI) is used as uplink control information, and downlink control information (downlink control information, DCI) is used as downlink control information as an example for description, but this application describes the uplink data channel, downlink data channel, and uplink control channel. The specific names of the downlink control channel, uplink control information, and downlink control information are not limited, and they may have different names in different systems.

In a known technology, in a slot, if the PUCCH and at least one PUSCH carrying the same transmission block (TB) overlap in the time domain, and the at least one PUSCH meets the requirement of UCI multiplexing in the PUSCH According to the timeline condition for transmission on the above, the UCI originally carried on the PUCCH transmission is carried on the PUSCH for transmission, and the PUCCH is not transmitted.

The timeline conditions for UCI multiplexing on PUSCH for transmission refer to: (1) The time between the first OFDM symbol of the earliest channel in time among the PUCCH and PUSCH overlapping in the time domain and the end time of the PDSCH The interval is not less than the first threshold. Wherein, any one of the PUSCH and PUCCH corresponds to the PDSCH, that is, the PDSCH feedback information is carried on the PUCCH or PUSCH. (2) The time interval between the first OFDM symbol of the earliest channel in time among the PUCCH and PUSCH overlapping in the time domain and the end time of the PDCCH is not less than the second threshold. Wherein, any one of the PUSCH and PUCCH corresponds to the PDCCH, and the corresponding meaning here is that the PDCCH schedules the PDSCH, and the PUCCH or PUSCH carries the feedback information of the PDSCH. Or the PDCCH schedules PUSCH transmission. In the above, the first threshold may be N1+X OFDM symbols, and the second threshold may be N2+Y OFDM symbols. Among them, N1 represents the processing time of the terminal equipment on the PDSCH, that is, the time for the terminal equipment to demodulate and decode the PDSCH after receiving the PDSCH and generate feedback information for transmission. N2 represents the preparation time of the terminal equipment for the PUSCH, that is, the time for the terminal equipment to demodulate and decode the signaling after receiving the scheduling information of the PUSCH, and prepare the PUSCH packet for transmission according to the signaling. X and Y are pre-configured, pre-defined or the number of OFDM symbols indicated by the network device.

Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of a timeline condition for UCI multiplexing on PUSCH for transmission. Referring to Figure 2, the earlier channel in time among the PUCCH and PUSCH overlapping in the time domain is the PUCCH, and the time interval between the first OFDM symbol of the PUCCH and the end time of the PDSCH is not less than N1+X OFDM symbols, The time interval from the end time of the PDCCH is not less than N2+Y OFDM symbols.

Exemplarily, assuming that the positions of PUCCH and PUSCH in the time domain are as shown in Figure 3, then PUSCH#1 and PUSCH#2 need to meet the above timeline conditions before the uplink control information carried on PUCCH can be carried on PUSCH# Send on 1.

It should be understood that if PUCCH or PUSCH requires PDCCH scheduling or activation, PUCCH and PUSCH need to meet the above two conditions at the same time. If PUCCH or PUSCH is scheduling-free, only the first condition needs to be met.

Based on the above protocol, if there is a PUSCH that does not meet the above timeline condition in the above at least one PUSCH, for example, in Figure 3, PUSCH#1 does not meet the timeline condition and PUSCH#2 meets the timeline condition, PUCCH cannot be transmitted on the PUSCH This will reduce the reliability of transmission and reduce system efficiency.

In view of this, this application provides a method for transmitting uplink information. Based on this method, as long as there is a PUSCH that meets the timeline condition, the uplink control information carried on the PUCCH can be transmitted on the PUSCH without requiring all PUSCHs to be Satisfying the timeline condition can avoid the problem of discarding uplink control information in the prior art, thereby improving the reliability of transmission and improving system efficiency.

The method for transmitting uplink information provided by this application will be described below. It should be understood that, for ease of understanding, when the method is described below, some steps of the operation are mainly described with the terminal device as the main body of execution, and other operations are mainly described with the network device as the main body of execution. In the above, the operation performed by the terminal device can also be performed by a module (for example, a chip) in the terminal device, and similarly, an operation performed by the network device can also be performed by a module (for example, a chip) in the network device.

The method of this application can be applied in any time unit, that is, in any time unit, both terminal equipment and network equipment can transmit uplink control information based on this method. Wherein, the time unit may be a subframe, a time slot (slot), half a time slot, etc. The specific length of the time unit is not limited in this application. Exemplarily, the time unit may include 14 OFDM symbols or 7 OFDM symbols, etc. The present application does not limit the number of OFDM symbols included in the time unit. In the following, a time slot is taken as an example of time unit for description.

FIG. 4 shows an exemplary flowchart of a method 200 for transmitting uplink information provided by the present application. The method 200 mainly includes S210 to S250. The steps are described below.

S210: The terminal device determines the first time-frequency resource. Among them, the first time-frequency resource is used to send PUCCH, and the PUCCH is used to carry UCI.

It should be understood that the UCI in this application may include feedback information, that is, hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback information, but this application is not limited to this. For example, UCI may also include scheduling request (scheduling request, SR), channel state information (channel statement information, CSI), where CSI includes periodic CSI (periodic-CSI) and aperiodic CSI (aperiodic-CSI).

Exemplarily, the first time-frequency resource may be configured by the network device to the terminal device in any of the following two ways.

1. The first time-frequency resource can be indicated by trigger signaling. Correspondingly, the PUCCH may be an aperiodic signal triggered by the trigger signaling.

The trigger signaling is a DCI or a downlink data channel, the DCI can be carried by a downlink control channel, and the DCI can schedule the downlink data channel. Correspondingly, the UCI carried on the PUCCH is the uplink feedback information corresponding to the downlink data channel, such as an acknowledgement (acknowledgement, ACK) or a negative acknowledgement (negative acknowledgement, NACK).

2. The first time-frequency resource can be configured by configuration signaling. Correspondingly, the PUCCH may be a periodic signal configured by the signaling configuration.

The configuration signaling may be RRC signaling or MAC signaling or physical layer signaling. The configuration signaling may configure the transmission period and time domain resource offset of the periodic signal, and the periodic signal may be the grant-free PUCCH of the unlicensed uplink control channel or the semi-persistent scheduling uplink control channel SPS PUCCH. In other words, the PUCCH may be grant-free PUCCH or SPS PUCCH.

S220: The terminal device determines the second time-frequency resource.

Wherein, the second time-frequency resource is used to transmit N PUSCHs, and N is an integer greater than 1. The N PUSCHs carry the same transport block, in other words, the N PUSCHs are used to transmit the same transport block. That is, the N PUSCHs are used for repeated transmission of the same transport block. In addition, the second time-frequency resource and the first time-frequency resource belong to the same time unit, and the first time-frequency resource and the second time-frequency resource overlap.

The time domain length of each PUSCH may be granular in sub-time units (or called micro-time units). The time domain length of the sub-time unit is smaller than the time unit. The sub-time unit may be a micro sub-frame or a mini-slot or other possible time units. Further, when the time unit is a time slot, the sub-time unit may be a mini-slot. When the time unit is a subframe, the subtime unit may be a micro subframe. The typical value of the mini-slot is 2, 4, 7 OFDM symbols, and may also be {1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13} OFDM symbols. In the following, the sub-time unit is a mini-slot as an example for description.

Exemplarily, the network device may configure the number of mini-slot repetitions and the resources occupied by the terminal device through a trigger signaling indication or through configuration signaling. The resources occupied by each mini-slot can have the same value or different values. A value can be used to indicate the number of resources occupied by each mini-slot. Alternatively, a set of values may be used to indicate the number of resources occupied by each mini-slot, and this set of values may be all the same, or different, or partly different.

Wherein, the first time-frequency resource and the second time-frequency resource overlap in the time domain, which can mean that the first time-frequency resource and the second time-frequency resource completely overlap in the time domain, or can refer to the first time-frequency resource and the second time-frequency resource. The time-frequency resources partially overlap in the time domain.

The meaning of complete overlap is that the second time-frequency resource includes the first time-frequency resource, and the first time-frequency resource also includes the second time-frequency resource. For example, FIG. 5 shows a situation where the first time-frequency resource and the second time-frequency resource completely overlap. Wherein, in Figure 5 and Figures 6 to 8 described below, it is assumed that the second time-frequency resource is the sum of the time-frequency resources occupied by PUSCH#1 to PUSCH#4, that is, the N PUSCHs are PUSCH#1 to PUSCH#1 to PUSCH#4, the first time-frequency resource is the time-frequency resource occupied by PUCCH.

Partial overlap can include three situations: (1) The first time-frequency resource does not include all of the second time-frequency resource, and the second time-frequency resource does not include all of the first time-frequency resource, as shown in Figure 6; 2) The first time-frequency resource includes all of the second time-frequency resource, but some of the first time-frequency resource does not belong to the second time-frequency resource, that is, the second time-frequency resource is part of the first time-frequency resource The proper subset is shown in Figure 7; (3) The first time-frequency resource is a proper subset of the second time-frequency resource, as shown in Figure 8. It should be understood that the relationship between time-frequency resources described here only refers to the relationship in the time domain, and is not limited in the frequency domain.

Exemplarily, the network device may configure the second time-frequency resource to the terminal device through a similar method of configuring the first time-frequency resource. It should be noted that if the time-frequency resources occupied by each PUSCH are the same, the network device may configure the second time-frequency resource by configuring the time-frequency resource and the number of repeated transmissions occupied by one PUSCH. Among them, the number of repetitions of the PUSCH, that is, the value of N, can be carried on the DCI, or can be pre-configured by network equipment. If the time-frequency resources occupied by each PUSCH are different or the time-frequency resources occupied by at least two PUSCHs are different, the network device may notify the terminal device of the time-frequency resources occupied by each PUSCH. This application does not limit the configuration mode of the second time-frequency resource, as long as the configuration mode is reasonable.

It should be understood that the time sequence of S210 and S220 is not specified, S210 may be executed before S220, S220 may also be executed before S210, or both may be executed simultaneously.

S230: The network device determines the first time-frequency resource.

S240: The network device determines the second time-frequency resource.

It should be understood that at this time, the network device determines the first time-frequency resource and the second time-frequency resource that have been configured for the terminal device.

S250: The terminal device transmits the UCI on the first target channel. Correspondingly, the network device receives the UCI on the first target channel.

Specifically, in the case where the first time-frequency resource and the second time-frequency resource completely overlap or partially overlap in the time domain, if there is a PUSCH satisfying the first condition among the N PUSCHs, the terminal device may discard the PUCCH, And the UCI that should be carried on the PUCCH is carried on the first target channel for transmission. Wherein, the first target channel is one PUSCH satisfying the first condition among the N PUSCHs, and the first condition is a timeline condition for UCI multiplexing on the PUSCH for transmission.

That is, in the case where the first time-frequency resource and the second time-frequency resource overlap in the time domain, UCI can be carried on one of the N PUSCHs that meets the timeline condition for UCI multiplexing on PUSCH for transmission. Transmission on PUSCH. Regarding the timeline conditions for UCI multiplexing and transmission on PUSCH, please refer to the foregoing description for details, which will not be repeated here.

Therefore, based on the method of the present application, as long as there is a PUSCH satisfying the timeline condition of UCI multiplexing on PUSCH for transmission among the N PUSCHs, and it is not necessary that all PUSCHs meet the timeline condition, the original PUSCH can be transmitted on the PUSCH. The UCI carried on the PUCCH. Therefore, the problem of UCI being discarded in the prior art can be avoided, thereby improving the reliability of transmission and improving system efficiency. In addition, since UCI retransmission scheduling is not required, the scheduling signaling overhead can be reduced.

It should be noted that in this application, the UCI multiplexing on the PUSCH for transmission can be punctured (preemption) and rate-matching (rate-matching).

The following mainly combines two scenarios to describe possible situations of the first target channel.

scene one

The first target channel may not overlap with the PUCCH in the time domain.

In other words, the time-frequency resource carrying the first target channel in the second time-frequency resource and the first time-frequency resource may not overlap in the time domain.

In this scenario, the first target channel may be any PUSCH satisfying the first condition among the N PUSCHs. Alternatively, the first target channel may be the earliest PUSCH among all PUSCHs satisfying the first condition among the N PUSCHs, that is, the time-frequency resource carrying the first target channel in the second time-frequency resource is earlier than the bearer satisfying in the time domain. Time-frequency resources of any other PUSCH under the first condition.

For example, referring to FIG. 9, if the N PUSCHs are PUSCH#1 to PUSCH#4, and among PUSCH#1 to PUSCH#4, only PUSCH#3 and PUSCH#4 satisfy the first condition, then the first target channel may be PUSCH#3 may also be PUSCH#4. Or, the first target channel may be the earliest PUSCH among PUSCH#3 and PUSCH#4, that is, PUSCH#3.

For another example, referring to FIG. 10, the N PUSCHs are PUSCH#1 to PUSCH#4. If PUSCH#1 to PUSCH#4 all satisfy the first condition, the first target channel may be PUSCH#1, that is, the first condition is satisfied The earliest PUSCH.

Scene two

The first target channel and PUCCH overlap in the time domain.

In other words, the time-frequency resource carrying the first target channel in the second time-frequency resource overlaps with the first time-frequency resource in the time domain.

In this scenario, the first target channel may be any PUSCH among the N PUSCHs that overlap with the PUCCH (or the first time-frequency resource) in the time domain and satisfy the first condition. Alternatively, the first target channel may be the earliest PUSCH among all PUSCHs that overlap with the PUCCH in the time domain among the N PUSCHs and satisfy the first condition.

For example, referring to FIG. 11, among PUSCH#1 to PUSCH#4, only PUSCH#2 and PUSCH#3 overlap with PUCCH. If PUSCH#2 and PUSCH#3 both satisfy the first condition, the first target channel may be PUSCH#2 or PUSCH#3. Or, the first target channel may be the earliest PUSCH among PUSCH#2 and PUSCH#3, that is, PUSCH#2.

It should be noted that in this application, there may also be PUSCHs that do not meet the first condition among the N PUSCHs, but this application does not limit this. That is to say, in the case that all the N PUSCHs meet the first condition, this application is also applicable.

In some of the foregoing implementation manners, by carrying UCI on the earliest PUSCH that satisfies the first condition and is sent, the delay requirement of UCI can be guaranteed as much as possible.

Optionally, as an embodiment of the present application, S250 may be executed when the priority of UCI is lower than or equal to the priority of PUSCH.

In other words, when the priority of UCI is lower than or equal to the priority of PUSCH, the method of this application can be used to send UCI. For example, when the UCI of the ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC) service is transmitted on the PUCCH, and the enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) service is transmitted on the PUSCH, this can be used. Send the UCI in the application method. It should be understood that the priority of UCI can also be regarded as the priority of PUCCH.

In this application, optionally, any one of the following information may be used to indicate the priority of the PUSCH:

(1) The time unit length of PUSCH scheduling. That is, the time unit length of PUSCH scheduling may indicate the priority of PUSCH.

For example, if the time unit of the PUSCH scheduling is a mini-slot, it is considered that the priority of the PUSCH is higher, and if the time unit of the PUSCH scheduling is a time slot, it can be considered that the priority of the PUSCH is lower.

(2) Scrambling the RNTI of the DCI scheduling PUSCH. That is, the type of RNTI that scrambles the DCI that schedules the PUSCH may indicate the priority of the PUSCH.

For example, if the RNTI that scrambles the DCI for scheduling the PUSCH is the first RNTI, it is considered that the priority of the PUSCH is higher. The first RNTI can be, for example, modulation and coding scheme-cell-radio network temporary identifier (MCS-C-RNTI) or configured scheduling radio network temporary identifier (CS). -RNTI) If the RNTI that scrambles the DCI for scheduling the PUSCH is the second RNTI, it is considered that the priority of the PUSCH is lower. The type of the second RNTI is different from that of the first RNTI. The second RNTI may be, for example, a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI).

(3) The payload size (payload size) of the DCI for scheduling the PUSCH. That is, the load size of the DCI for scheduling the PUSCH may indicate the priority of the PUSCH.

For example, if the load size of the DCI scheduled for PUSCH#1 is smaller than the load size of the DCI scheduled for PUSCH#2, it is considered that the priority of PUSCH#1 is higher and the priority of PUSCH#2 is lower. For another example, if the load size of the DCI for scheduling PUSCH#1 is greater than or equal to a certain preset threshold, it is considered that the priority of the PUSCH is lower, otherwise the priority is higher.

(4) MCS form used by PUSCH. That is, the MCS table used by the PUSCH can indicate the priority of the PUSCH.

For example, if the PUSCH uses an MCS table with low spectrum efficiency, the PUSCH is considered to have a higher priority. If the PUSCH uses an MCS table with high spectral efficiency, or contains an MCS table with a modulation mode of 256QAM, the PUSCH is considered to have a lower priority.

(5) Schedule a certain DCI field in the DCI of the PUSCH. That is, the priority of the PUSCH can be indicated by a value in one of the DCI fields in the DCI of the scheduling PUSCH. The DCI field may include one bit or multiple bits.

The way of indicating the priority of UCI is similar to the way of indicating the priority of PUSCH. The difference is that the priority of UCI can be the priority of the PDSCH corresponding to the UCI, and the meaning of UCI (or PUCCH) corresponding to PDSCH can be referred to the description above. . At this time, scheduling the DCI of the PUCCH here means scheduling the DCI of the PDSCH corresponding to the PUCCH.

It should be understood that determining the priority of PUSCH may be replaced by determining any one of (1) to (5) above. Similarly, determining the priority of UCI can be replaced by determining similar to any of (1) to (5) above.

Optionally, as an embodiment of the present application, the method may further include:

S260: The terminal device transmits the UCI on at least one second target channel. Correspondingly, the network device receives the UCI on the at least one second target channel.

Wherein, the at least one second target channel is at least one PUSCH among the N PUSCHs, and the second target channel is later than the first target channel in the time domain, or in other words, the first target channel is earlier in the time domain. In the second target channel. It should be understood that the meaning that the second target channel is later than the first target channel means that the time-frequency resource carrying the second target channel is located behind the time-frequency resource carrying the first target channel in the time domain. It can be understood that the uplink data channels after the first target channel among the N uplink data channels all satisfy the first condition.

Specifically, in addition to sending the UCI on the first target channel, the terminal device may also send the UCI on the PUSCH after the first target channel, that is, repeatedly sending the UCI.

Therefore, by using the inherent repetition of PUSCH to repeatedly transmit UCI, the transmission reliability of UCI can be further improved.

Exemplarily, the terminal device may send UCI on each PUSCH after the first target channel among the N PUSCHs, or may send UCI on part of the PUSCH after the first target channel.

For example, for scenarios where it is not limited that the first target channel needs to overlap with the PUCCH in the time domain, the terminal device may send UCI on each PUSCH after the first target channel. For another example, for a scenario where the first target channel needs to overlap with the PUCCH in the time domain, the terminal device can send the UCI on the PUSCH that overlaps the PUCCH in the time domain after the first target channel, that is, the second target channel Overlaps with PUCCH in time domain. This will be described in conjunction with the above-described FIG. 9 and FIG. 11. In FIG. 9, if the first target channel is PUSCH#3, the terminal device may also send the UCI on PUSCH#4. In FIG. 11, if the first target channel is PUSCH#2, the terminal device may also send the UCI on PUSCH#3. It should be understood that, in FIG. 11, further, the terminal device may also send the UCI on PUSCH#4, which is not limited in this application.

In this application, the resources occupied by the UCI on the first target channel and/or the second target channel may be determined by the offset value beta-offset. The beta-offset can be notified to the terminal device through the DCI of scheduling PUCSH, and can also be configured to the terminal device through high-level parameters.

In summary, based on the method of this application, it is not necessary for the N PUSCHs to meet the timeline condition. As long as there is a PUSCH that meets the timeline condition for UCI multiplexing on the PUSCH for transmission among the N PUSCHs, the timeline can be satisfied. The UCI carried on the PUCCH is transmitted on one or more PUSCH of the condition.

In another prior art, when the slot-based PUCCH repetition and the mini-slot-based PUSCH repetition overlap in the time domain, the PUCCH is sent but the PUSCH is discarded and not sent. That is, when multiple mini-slot-based PUSCHs that repeatedly transmit the same data block and multiple time-slot-based PUCCHs that repeatedly transmit the same UCI overlap in the time domain, the prior art discards the PUSCH and sends the PUCCH. This approach will reduce the reliability of the transmission. For example, if the URLLC service is transmitted on the PUSCH, or the priority of the service transmitted by the PUSCH is higher than the service transmitted by the PUCCH, the transmission method according to the prior art will cause the reliability of the URLLC service transmission to decrease.

Take Figure 12 as an example for description. The network device may indicate by trigger signaling or configure PUSCH repeated transmission through configuration signaling, that is, multiple PUSCHs repeatedly transmit the same transmission block. When repeated transmission crosses the slot boundary, the PUSCH across the boundary automatically becomes two PUSCH repeated transmissions. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the network device indicates through trigger signaling or configures 4 PUSCH repeated transmissions through configuration signaling, where PUSCH#2 and PUSCH#3 are two repeated transmissions divided by the slot boundary. Therefore, PUSCH#1 to PUSCH#5 need to be transmitted. The network device may also indicate the repeated transmission of PUCCH through trigger signaling or configure the repeated transmission of PUCCH through configuration signaling, for example, the repeated transmission of PUCCH in time slot #1 to time slot #4 shown in FIG. It can be seen that in time slot #1 and time slot #2, the time-frequency resource carrying PUSCH and the time-frequency resource carrying PUCCH overlap in the time domain. According to the technology, PUSCH#1 to PUSCH#5 and PUCCH will be discarded. Overlapping PUSCH, namely PUSCH#1, PUSCH#2, PUSCH#4, and PUSCH#5.

The method described above provided in this application can solve this problem, thereby avoiding PUSCH discarding and improving transmission reliability. Taking FIG. 12 as an example, for time slot #1 and time slot #2, the method described above can be used to carry the UCI that should be carried on the PUCCH on the PUSCH for transmission.

Specifically, for time slot #1, the time-frequency resource carrying PUCCH#1 is the first time-frequency resource above, and the sum of the time-frequency resource carrying PUSCH#1 and the time-frequency resource carrying PUSCH#2 is In the above second time-frequency resource, PUCCH#1 is the above PUCCH, and PUSCH#1 and PUSCH#2 are the above N PUSCHs. It can be seen that the first time-frequency resource and the second time-frequency resource overlap. At this time, if there is a PUSCH satisfying the first condition in PUSCH#1 and PUSCH#2, the UCI that should be carried on PUCCH#1 may be carried on the first target channel for transmission. According to the foregoing description, the first target channel may be any PUSCH satisfying the first condition among PUSCH#1 and PUSCH#2, or may be the earliest PUSCH satisfying the first condition among PUSCH#1 and PUSCH#2. Or, the first target channel may be any PUSCH in PUSCH#1 and PUSCH#2 that overlaps with PUCCH in the time domain and meets the first condition, or may be PUSCH#1 and PUSCH#2 in the time domain with PUCCH. The earliest PUSCH among the overlapping PUSCHs that meet the first condition. For example, if PUSCH#2 satisfies the first condition, UCI can be carried on PUSCH#2 for transmission. For example, if PUSCH#1 and PUSCH#2 both meet the first condition, UCI can be carried on PUSCH#1 for transmission. It should be understood that, in addition to sending UCI on the first target channel, as described above, further, UCI may also be sent on at least one second target channel. The definition of the second target channel is as described above, and will not be repeated here.

Similarly, for slot #2, the sum of the time-frequency resources carrying PUSCH#3 to PUSCH#5 is the second time-frequency resource above, and the time-frequency resource carrying PUCCH#2 is the first time above. Frequency resources, PUSCH#3 to PUSCH#5 are the above N PUSCHs, and PUCCH#2 is the above PUCCH. The first time-frequency resource and the second time-frequency resource overlap. If there is a PUSCH satisfying the first condition in PUSCH#3 to PUSCH#5, UCI may be carried on the first target channel for transmission. Here, the first target channel may be any PUSCH satisfying the first condition among PUSCH#3 to PUSCH#5, or may be the earliest PUSCH satisfying the first condition among PUSCH#3 to PUSCH#5. Alternatively, the first target channel may be any PUSCH from PUSCH#3 to PUSCH#5 that overlaps with PUCCH in the time domain and meets the first condition, or PUSCH#3 to PUSCH#5 overlaps with PUCCH in the time domain. The earliest PUSCH in the PUSCH that meets the first condition. For example, if the first condition is satisfied among PUSCH#3 to PUSCH#5 and the earliest PUSCH is PUSCH#4, then UCI can be carried on PUSCH#4 for transmission. It should be understood that, in addition to sending UCI on the first target channel, as described above, further, UCI can also be sent on at least one second target channel, for example, UCI can also be sent on PUSCH#5. The definition of the second target channel is as described above, and will not be repeated here.

FIG. 13 shows another example in which slot-based PUCCH repetition and mini-slot-based PUSCH repetition overlap in the time domain. Referring to Figure 13, the time-frequency resource carrying PUCCH#1 is the first time-frequency resource above, and the sum of the time-frequency resources carrying PUSCH#1 to PUSCH#4 is the second time-frequency resource above, PUCCH# 1 is the above PUCCH, and PUSCH#1 to PUSCH#4 are the above N PUSCHs. It can be seen that in time slot #1, the first time-frequency resource and the second time-frequency resource overlap. Then for time slot #1, the method described above can be used to transmit the UCI that should be carried on PUCCH#1. For details, please refer to the above description, which will not be repeated here.

In addition, the prior art does not involve the problem of how to transmit the UCI carried on the PUCCH in a scenario where the slot-based PUCCH repeats and the mini-slot or slot-based PUSCH overlaps in the time domain.

Based on this, this application also provides a method of transmitting method information. In this method, if a PUCCH in the PUSCH and PUCCH repetition overlaps in the time domain, and the priority of the UCI carried on the PUCCH is not higher than the priority of the PUSCH, the PUSCH and PUSCH can be used in the time domain. If the PUCCH that overlaps the first condition meets the first condition, the UCI is carried on the PUSCH for transmission. UCI can be transmitted through the UCI transmission scheme provided in this application.

It should be understood that how to determine the priority of the PUSCH and the priority of UCI can refer to the description of the priority of PUSCH and the priority of UCI above, which will not be repeated here. The first condition can also refer to the previous description.

Specifically, the method may include the following steps:

Step 1: The terminal device determines the time-frequency resources that carry multiple PUCCHs.

Among them, the multiple PUCCHs are used to transmit the same UCI. The multiple PUCCHs have a one-to-one correspondence with multiple time units, that is, each time unit can transmit one PUCCH.

The time-frequency resources carrying multiple PUCCHs may be instructed by the network equipment through trigger signaling or configured to the terminal equipment through configuration signaling. It should be understood that the network device may indicate to the terminal device the time-frequency resources carrying the multiple PUCCHs by configuring the time-frequency resource and the number of repeated transmissions for transmitting one PUCCH. In addition, the network device may also indicate to the terminal device the time-frequency resource that bears each PUCCH. This application does not limit how the network device configures the time-frequency resources carrying multiple PUCCHs to the terminal device, as long as the configuration method is reasonable.

Step 2: The terminal device determines the time-frequency resource that bears the PUSCH.

The PUSCH and the first PUCCH of the plurality of PUCCHs belong to the same time unit. In other words, the time-frequency resource carrying the PUSCH and the time-frequency resource carrying the first PUCCH belong to the same time unit in the time domain. The first PUCCH may be any one of the plurality of PUCCHs. In addition, the time-frequency resource carrying the PUSCH and the time-frequency resource carrying the first PUSCH overlap in the time domain. It should be understood that the meaning of overlap here is the same as the meaning of overlap described above, and will not be repeated here.

The network device may configure the time-frequency resource carrying the PUSCH to the terminal device through trigger signaling instruction or through configuration signaling. For details, refer to the description of the method 200, which is not repeated here.

Step 3: The network device determines the time-frequency resources that bear the multiple PUCCHs.

Step 4: The network device determines the time-frequency resource that bears the PUSCH.

Step 5: If the priority of the UCI is not higher than the priority of the PUSCH, and the PUSCH meets the first condition, the UCI carried on the first PUCCH is carried on the PUSCH for transmission. Correspondingly, the network device receives the UCI on PUSCH.

Specifically, in the case where the priority of the UCI is not higher than the priority of the PUSCH, if the PUSCH and the first PUCCH overlap in the time domain, and the PUSCH and the first PUCCH meet the first condition, the local transmission is performed on the PUSCH The UCI carried on the PUCCH, and the first PUCCH is discarded.

In summary, according to the method for transmitting uplink information provided in this application, when the PUSCH overlaps with a PUCCH among multiple PUCCHs in the time domain, if the priority of the UCI carried on the PUCCH is not higher than that of the PUSCH Priority, and the PUSCH and the PUCCH overlapping the PUSCH in the time domain satisfy the first condition, then the UCI is carried on the PUSCH for transmission. Through the above method, PUSCH and UCI transmission can be realized in a scenario where PUSCH and PUSCH repeated transmission overlap in the time domain.

An example is given with reference to FIG. 14. Referring to Figure 14, the network device can configure the terminal device to repeatedly transmit the same information on PUCCH#1 to PUCCH#4, and can configure the terminal device to transmit uplink data on PUSCH#1. It can be seen that PUCCH#1 to PUCCH#4 and PUSCH#1 overlap in the time domain. In other words, the time-frequency resources used to carry PUCCH#1 to PUCCH#4 and the time-frequency resources carrying PUSCH#1 are in the time domain. Overlapped. In this case, if PUSCH#1 satisfies the first condition, the UCI that should have been carried on the PUCCH that overlaps with PUSCH#1 in the time domain can be carried on PUSCH#1 for transmission, that is, it can be carried on PUSCH#1. The UCI on PUCCH#2 is carried on PUSCH#1 for transmission, and PUCCH#2 is discarded.

It should be understood that in the method described here, judging whether the first condition is satisfied is based on the granularity of time unit, that is, in FIG. 14, it is only judged whether PUSCH#1 meets the first condition in time slot #2, or we only care about The time length between the first symbol of PUSCH#1 and PUCCH#2 and the corresponding PDSCH and PDCCH does not care about the time length between other PUCCH and PUSCH and the corresponding PDSCH and PDCCH.

In another scenario, the network device can indicate through trigger signaling or configure the PUCCH carrying UCI to transmit in one time unit, and at the same time transmit multiple PUSCHs in this time unit. At least Two PUSCHs are used to carry data of different types of services, or the priorities (or transmission priorities) of the at least two PUSCHs are different, and the PUCCH and each of the multiple PUSCHs are both in the time domain. overlapping. For this scenario, how the terminal device transmits PUSCH and PUCCH is not covered in the prior art.

Based on this, this application provides another method for transmitting uplink information. The method will be described below with reference to FIGS. 15-22.

FIG. 15 shows an exemplary flowchart of another method 300 for transmitting uplink information provided by the present application. The method 300 may include S310 to S370. = The steps are described below.

S310: The terminal device determines UCI service information to be sent on the PUCCH.

S320: The terminal device determines the service information of each PUSCH in the M PUSCHs.

Among them, business information is business type or priority. The service information of at least two PUSCHs in the M PUSCHs is different. For example, at least two of the M PUSCHs have different service types or different priorities. In addition, each PUSCH and PUCCH overlap in the time domain, and the meaning of overlap is the same as the meaning of overlap described above, and will not be repeated. And, the M PUSCHs and the PUCCH belong to the same time unit.

For the expression mode or indication mode of the priority of UCI and PUSCH, please refer to the description of the priority of UCI and PUSCH above, which will not be repeated here. Here we mainly introduce how to indicate the service types of PUSCH and PUCCH.

Optionally, the PUSCH service type can be indicated by any one of the following information:

(1) The time unit length of PUSCH scheduling. That is, the time unit length of PUSCH scheduling may indicate the service type of PUSCH.

For example, if the PUSCH scheduling time unit is a mini-slot, then the PUSCH service type is considered URLLC, and if the PUSCH scheduling time unit is a time slot, then the PUSCH service type can be considered eMBB.

(2) Scrambling the RNTI of the DCI scheduling PUSCH. That is, the type of RNTI that scrambles the DCI that schedules the PUSCH may indicate the service type of the PUSCH.

For example, if the RNTI of the DCI that scrambles and schedules the PUSCH is the first RNTI, the service type of the PUSCH is considered to be URLLC. The first RNTI may be MCS-C-RNTI or CS-RNTI, for example. If the RNTI of the DCI that scrambles and schedules the PUSCH is the second RNTI, it is considered that the service type of the PUSCH is eMBB. The type of the second RNTI is different from that of the first RNTI. The second RNTI may be a C-RNTI, for example.

(3) The payload size (payload size) of the DCI for scheduling the PUSCH. That is, the load size of the DCI for scheduling the PUSCH may indicate the service type of the PUSCH.

For example, if the load size of the DCI scheduled for PUSCH#1 is smaller than the load size of the DCI scheduled for PUSCH#2, it is considered that PUSCH#1 is a URLLC service and PUSCH#2 is an eMBB service. For another example, if the load size of the DCI scheduling PUSCH#1 is greater than or equal to a certain preset threshold, the PUSCH service type is considered to be eMBB, otherwise it is URLLC.

(4) MCS form used by PUSCH. That is, the MCS table used by PUSCH can indicate the service type of PUSCH.

For example, if PUSCH uses an MCS table with low spectrum efficiency, it is considered that the service type of PUSCH is URLLC. If the PUSCH uses an MCS table with high spectral efficiency, or contains an MCS table with a modulation mode of 256QAM, the PUSCH service type is considered eMBB.

(5) Schedule a certain DCI field in the DCI of the PUSCH. That is, the PUSCH service type can be indicated by a value in a graduation field in the DCI of the scheduling PUSCH. The DCI field may include one bit or multiple bits.

The indication mode of the UCI service type is similar to the indication mode of the PUSCH service type. The difference is that the UCI service type can be the service type of the PDSCH corresponding to the UCI, and the meaning of the UCI and PDSCH can be referred to the above description. At this time, the DCI scheduling the PUCCH here means scheduling the DCI of the PDSCH.

It should be understood that determining the PUSCH service type may be replaced by determining any one of (1) to (5) above. Similarly, determining the service type of UCI can be replaced by determining similar to any one of (1) to (5) above.

S330: The terminal device determines a target PUSCH from the M PUSCHs according to the service information of the UCI and the service information of each PUSCH.

Wherein, the target PUSCH is the PUSCH multiplexed by the UCI, that is, the UCI can be carried on the target PUSCH for transmission.

S340: The network device determines the service information of each PUSCH.

Optionally, the network device may determine the PUSCH service information according to the service request from the terminal device.

S350. The network device determines the service information of the UCI.

Optionally, the network device may determine the service information of the UCI according to the service information of the downlink data corresponding to the UCI.

S340 corresponds to S310, and S350 corresponds to S320. For specific network equipment how to determine the service information of UCI and the service information of each PUSCH, please refer to the description of S310 and S320 above, which will not be repeated here.

S360: The network device determines the target PUSCH from the M PUSCHs according to the service information of the UCI and the service information of each PUSCH.

If there is a target PUSCH, the method may also include:

S370: The terminal device carries the UCI on the target PUSCH and sends it. Correspondingly, the network device receives the UCI on the target PUSCH.

Specifically, in the case where the PUCCH overlaps with multiple PUSCHs, the terminal device can be based on the service type of the UCI originally carried on the PUCCH and the service type of each PUSCH, or according to the priority of the UCI and the priority of each PUSCH. Level to determine the PUSCH multiplexed by the UCI. Therefore, the terminal device can discard the PUCCH and transmit the UCI on the PUSCH multiplexed by the UCI.

In the method for transmitting uplink information provided in this application, by determining the PUSCH multiplexed by UCI according to the service type or priority, more reasonable transmission can be performed when the PUCCH overlaps with multiple PUSCHs. For example, the transmission of information with higher priority can be guaranteed as much as possible, or the transmission of services with higher reliability and delay requirements can be guaranteed as much as possible, or the transmission of UCI can be guaranteed as much as possible, so that network equipment can obtain the transmission in time Feedback.

In this application, the resource occupied by the UCI on the target channel can be determined by the offset value beta-offset. The beta-offset can be notified to the terminal device through the DCI of scheduling PUCSH, and can also be configured to the terminal device through high-level parameters.

Hereinafter, the two methods of determining the PUSCH according to the priority and determining the target PUSCH according to the service type will be described respectively.

Method 1: Determine the target PUSCH according to priority

In this manner, the target PUSCH may be a PUSCH that meets the following conditions among the M PUSCHs:

Condition 1: The priority is not higher than the UCI.

Condition 2: Meet the first condition.

That is, the target PUSCH may be a PUSCH that has a priority not higher than the UCI and satisfies the first condition among the M PUSCHs. Among them, the meaning of the first condition is as described above.

Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 16, the M PUSCHs are PUSCH#1 and PUSCH#2, if the priority of PUSCH#1 and PUSCH#2 is not higher than the UCI, and PUSCH#1 and PUSCH#2 both meet the first Condition, the target PUSCH can be PUSCH#1 or PUSCH#2.

Referring to Figure 17, the M PUSCHs are PUSCH#1 to PUSCH#3. If the priority of PUSCH#1 is higher than the priority of the UCI, the priority of PUSCH#2 and PUSCH#3 is not higher than that of the UCI, and PUSCH #2 and PUSCH#3 both satisfy the first condition, then the target PUSCH may be PUSCH#2 or PUSCH#3.

Further, the target PUSCH also needs to meet at least one of the following conditions:

Condition 3: The earliest.

Condition 4: The lowest priority.

That is, the target PUSCH may be the earliest PUSCH among all PUSCHs that have a priority not higher than the UCI and satisfy the first condition among the M PUSCHs.
