Abstract

An uplink control channel resource mapping method performed by a terminal device, the method including obtaining, by a terminal device, resource configuration information of an uplink control channel, and determining, by the terminal device according to the resource configuration information, information about a time domain location in at least one of a slot in which the uplink control channel is located or a subframe in which the uplink control channel is located.

Claims (35)

1. An uplink control channel resource mapping method, comprising:

obtaining, by a terminal device, resource configuration information of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH); and

determining, by the terminal device according to the resource configuration information, a time domain location in a slot in which a first PUCCH or a second PUCCH is located, wherein the resource configuration information comprises first configuration information of the first PUCCH and second configuration information of the second PUCCH, wherein the first configuration information indicates a quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the first PUCCH in the slot and further indicates a location of the OFDM symbols occupied by the first PUCCH in the slot, wherein the second configuration information indicates a quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the second PUCCH in the slot and further indicates a location of the OFDM symbols occupied by the second PUCCH in the slot, and wherein the quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the first PUCCH is less than the quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the second PUCCH.

2. The method according to claim 1 , the quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the first PUCCH in the slot is 1 or 2.

3. The method according to claim 1 , the quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the second PUCCH in the slot is 4 to 14.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first configuration information is indicated by at least one first bit, and wherein the second configuration information is indicated by at least one second bit; and

wherein the determining the time domain location in the slot comprises:

determining, by the terminal device, the quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the first PUCCH in the slot according to the at least one first bit and determining the quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the second PUCCH in the slot according to the at least one second bit.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first configuration information is indicated by at least one first bit, wherein the second configuration information is indicated by at least one second bit; and

wherein the determining the time domain location in the slot comprises:

determining, by the terminal device, the location of the OFDM symbols occupied by the first PUCCH in the slot according to the at least one first bit and determining the location of the OFDM symbols occupied by the second PUCCH in the slot according to the at least one second bit.

6. A terminal device, comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory-computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the processor, the program including instructions to:

obtain resource configuration information of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH); and

determine, according to the resource configuration information, a time domain location in a slot in which a first PUCCH or a second PUCCH is located, wherein the resource configuration information comprises first configuration information of the first PUCCH and second configuration information of the second PUCCH, wherein the first configuration information indicates a quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the first PUCCH in the slot and further indicates a location of the OFDM symbols occupied by the first PUCCH in the slot, wherein the second configuration information indicates a quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the second PUCCH in the slot and further indicates a location of the OFDM symbols occupied by the second PUCCH in the slot, and wherein the quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the first PUCCH is less than the quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the second PUCCH.

7. The terminal device according to claim 6 , the quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the first PUCCH in the slot is 1 or 2.

8. The terminal device according to claim 6 , the quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the second PUCCH in the slot is 4 to 14.

9. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the first configuration information is indicated by at least one first bit, and wherein the second configuration information is indicated by at least one second bit; and

wherein the instructions to determine the time domain location in the slot include instructions to:

determine the quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the first PUCCH in the slot according to the at least one first bit and determine the quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the second PUCCH in the slot according to the at least one second bit.

10. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the first configuration information is indicated by at least one first bit, and wherein the second configuration information is indicated by at least one second bit; and

wherein the instructions to determine the time domain location in the slot include instructions to:

determine the location of OFDM symbols occupied by the first PUCCH in the slot according to the at least one first bit and determine the location of OFDM symbols occupied by the second PUCCH in the slot according to the at least one second bit.

11. An access network device, comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the processor, the program including instructions to:

determine resource configuration information of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH); and

send the resource configuration information to a terminal device, wherein the resource configuration information, indicates a time domain location in a slot in which a first PUCCH or a second PUCCH is located, wherein the resource configuration information comprises first configuration information of the first PUCCH and second configuration information of the second PUCCH, wherein the first configuration information indicates a quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the first PUCCH in the slot and further indicates a location of OFDM symbols occupied by the first PUCCH in the slot, wherein the second configuration information indicates a quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the second PUCCH in the slot and further indicates a location of OFDM symbols occupied by the second PUCCH in the slot, and wherein the quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the first PUCCH is less than the quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the second PUCCH.

12. The access network device according to claim 11 , the quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the first PUCCH in the slot is 1 or 2.

13. The access network device according to claim 11 , the quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the second PUCCH in the slot is 4 to 14.

14. The access network device according to claim 11 , wherein the first resource configuration information is indicated by at least one first bit, and wherein the second configuration information is indicated by at least one second bit; and

wherein the at least one first bit indicates the quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the first PUCCH in the slot and wherein the at least one second bit indicates the quantity of OFDM symbols occupied by the second PUCCH in the slot.

15. The access network device according to claim 11 , wherein the first resource configuration information is indicated by at least one first bit, and wherein the second configuration information is indicated by at least one second bit; and

wherein the at least one first bit indicates the location of OFDM symbols occupied by the first PUCCH in the slot and wherein the at least one second bit indicates the location of OFDM symbols occupied by the second PUCCH in the slot.
