Abstract

Provided are a transmitting method and a transmitting device for uplink control information, a storage medium, and a user equipment. The transmitting method includes: receiving PUCCH resource assignment information sent from a network to determine a PUCCH format and assigned resource blocks; and resource mapping the uplink control information at least based on all frequency domain resources of the assigned resource blocks, if the determined PUCCH format is one that requires more than one physical resource block for resource transmission and a number of the assigned resource blocks is larger than that required for transmitting the uplink control information. With the technical solution provided in the present disclosure, when the uplink control information is transmitted in unlicensed spectrums in a PUCCH format requiring more than one physical resource block for resource transmission, the occupation ratio of the uplink power in unlicensed spectrums can be significantly improved.

Claims (35)

1. A method for transmitting uplink control information, comprising:

receiving physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource assignment information sent from a network to determine a PUCCH format and assigned resource blocks; and

resource mapping the uplink control information at least based on all frequency domain resources of the assigned resource blocks, in response to the determined PUCCH format requiring more than one physical resource block for resource transmission and a number of the assigned resource blocks being larger than that required for transmitting the uplink control information.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said resource mapping the uplink control information at least based on all frequency domain resources of the assigned resource blocks comprises:

calculating an actual code rate required to occupy all the assigned resource blocks; and

mapping the uplink control information to the assigned resource blocks based on the actual code rate.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein said calculating the actual code rate required to occupy all the assigned resource blocks comprises:

calculating available code rates based on the determined PUCCH format occupying all the assigned resource blocks; and

determining a minimum code rate among the available code rates as the actual code rate.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said resource mapping the uplink control information at least based on all frequency domain resources of the assigned resource blocks comprises:

mapping the uplink control information to the assigned resource blocks; and

based on an idle resource block after the mapping is completed, copying the uplink control information in the mapped resource blocks sequentially with an order from low to high to the idle resource block.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said resource mapping the uplink control information at least based on all frequency domain resources of the assigned resource blocks comprises:

in response to the number of the assigned resource blocks being larger than that required for transmitting the uplink control information, mapping the uplink control information to all subcarriers of all the assigned resource blocks firstly in frequency domain and then in time domain.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein said resource mapping the uplink control information at least based on all frequency domain resources of the assigned resource blocks further comprises:

for a resource block with an idle resource element, copying information on the mapped resource element in the resource block to the idle resource element in a time-domain sequence.

7. An electronic device, comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores computer instructions cause the processor to:

receive PUCCH resource assignment information sent from a network to determine a PUCCH format and assigned resource blocks; and

resource map the uplink control information at least based on all frequency domain resources of the assigned resource blocks in response to the determined PUCCH format requiring more than one physical resource block for resource transmission and a number of the assigned resource blocks being larger than that required for transmitting the uplink control information.

8. The electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein the computer instructions further cause the processor to:

calculate an actual code rate required to occupy all the assigned resource blocks; and

map the uplink control information to the assigned resource blocks based on the actual code rate.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the computer instructions further cause the processor to:

calculate available code rates based on the determined PUCCH format occupying all the assigned resource blocks; and

determine a minimum code rate among the available code rates as the actual code rate.

10. The electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein the computer instructions further cause the processor to:

map the uplink control information to the assigned resource blocks; and

based on an idle resource block after the mapping is complete, copy the uplink control information in the mapped resource blocks sequentially with an order from low to high to the idle resource block.

11. The electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein the computer instructions further cause the processor to:

map the uplink control information to all subcarriers of all the assigned resource blocks firstly in frequency domain and then in time domain, in response to the number of the assigned resource blocks being larger than that required for transmitting the uplink control information.

12. The electronic device according to claim 11 , wherein the computer instructions further cause the processor to:

for a resource block with an idle resource element, copy information in the mapped resource element in the resource block to the idle resource element in a time-domain sequence.

13. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer instructions, wherein the computer instructions, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

receive physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource assignment information sent from a network to determine a PUCCH format and assigned resource blocks; and

resource map the uplink control information at least based on all frequency domain resources of the assigned resource blocks, in response to the determined PUCCH format requiring more than one physical resource block for resource transmission and a number of the assigned resource blocks being larger than that required for transmitting the uplink control information.
