Abstract

Disclosed are a method for transmitting a physical uplink control channel by a terminal in a wireless communication system and an apparatus supporting the same. As a specific example, a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention may determine a modulation order to be applied to uplink control information (UCI) to be transmitted, on the basis of a payload size of the UCI, and transmit the UCI, to which the determined modulation order has been applied, via a PUCCH resource. The terminal is capable of communicating with at least one of another terminal, a terminal related to an autonomous driving vehicle, a base station or a network.

Claims (21)

1. A method for transmitting, by a terminal, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) to a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

determining a modulation order to be applied to uplink control information (UCI) based on a payload size of the UCI to be transmitted; and

transmitting the UCI comprising only acknowledgment information in accordance with the determined modulation order through a PUCCH resource,

wherein, based on the payload size of the acknowledgment information being less than or equal to a first number of bits, the terminal applies a first modulation order to the acknowledgment information without bundling of the acknowledgment information,

wherein, based on the payload size of the acknowledgment information being greater than the first number of bits and less than or equal to a second number of bits, the terminal applies a second modulation order, rather than the first modulation order, to the acknowledgment information without the bundling of the acknowledgment information,

wherein, based on the payload size of the acknowledgment information being greater than the second number of bits and less than or equal to a third number of bits, the terminal applies the bundling and the first modulation order to the acknowledgment information, and

wherein, based on the payload size of the acknowledgment information being greater than the third number of bits, the terminal applies the bundling and the second modulation order to the acknowledgment information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PUCCH resource is composed of one or two symbols.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PUCCH resource is composed of four or more symbols.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the acknowledgment information is HARQ-ACK information.

5. A terminal configured for transmitting acknowledgment information to a base station in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transmitter; and

a processor operatively connected to the transmitter,

wherein the processor is configured to:

determine a modulation order to be applied to uplink control information (UCI) based on a payload size of the UCI to be transmitted; and

transmit the UCI comprising only acknowledgment information in accordance with the determined modulation order through a PUCCH resource,

wherein, based on the payload size of the acknowledgment information being less than or equal to a first number of bits, the terminal applies a first modulation order to the acknowledgment information without bundling of the acknowledgment information,

wherein, based on the payload size of the acknowledgment information being greater than the first number of bits and less than or equal to a second number of bits, the terminal applies a second modulation order, rather than the first modulation order, to the acknowledgment information without the bundling of the acknowledgment information,

wherein, based on the payload size of the acknowledgment information being greater than the second number of bits and less than or equal to a third number of bits, the terminal applies the bundling and the first modulation order to the acknowledgment information, and

wherein, based on the payload size of the acknowledgment information being greater than the third number of bits, the terminal applies the bundling and the second modulation order to the acknowledgment information.

6. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein the terminal is configured to communicate with at least one of another terminal, a terminal related to an autonomous driving vehicle, a base station or a network.
