Abstract

A user equipment and a method for configuring Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources are provided. The method includes receiving a first bandwidth part (BWP) configuration associated with a first uplink (UL) BWP, the first BWP configuration including a PUCCH configuration list with a first PUCCH configuration and a second PUCCH configuration, the first PUCCH configuration indicating a first set of PUCCH resource identifiers (IDs), the second PUCCH configuration indicating a second set of PUCCH resource IDs; and receiving a second BWP configuration associated with a second UL BWP, the second BWP configuration including a third PUCCH configuration, the third PUCCH configuration indicating a third set of PUCCH resource IDs. The first set of PUCCH resource IDs and the second set of PUCCH resource IDs share no common PUCCH resource ID.

Claims (42)

1. A user equipment (UE) for configuring Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources, the UE comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one memory stores one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the UE to:

receive a first bandwidth part (BWP) configuration associated with a first uplink (UL) BWP, the first BWP configuration including a PUCCH-ConfigList information element (IE), which includes a first PUCCH-Config IE and a second PUCCH-Config IE, the first PUCCH-Config IE indicating a first set of PUCCH resource identifiers (IDs), and the second PUCCH-Config IE indicating a second set of PUCCH resource IDs,

wherein:

a first PUCCH resource, which corresponds to a first resource ID selected from the first set of PUCCH resource IDs for transmitting a first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook associated with the first PUCCH-Config IE, corresponds to a low priority,

a second PUCCH resource, which corresponds to a first resource ID selected from the second set of PUCCH resource IDs for transmitting a second HARQ-ACK codebook associated with the second PUCCH-Config IE, corresponds to a high priority, and

the first set of PUCCH resource IDs and the second set of PUCCH resource IDs share no common PUCCH resource ID.

2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the first PUCCH-Config IE and the second PUCCH-Config IE correspond to different service types.

3. The UE of claim 1 , wherein:

the first PUCCH-Config IE further indicates a first set of PUCCH spatial relation information IDs, and

the second PUCCH-Config IE further indicates a second set of PUCCH spatial relation information IDs.

4. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the one or more computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the UE to:

receive a downlink control information (DCI) message that schedules a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) reception, the DCI message including a priority indicator; and

transmit HARQ-ACK information associated with the PDSCH reception in the first UL BWP after applying one of the first PUCCH-Config IE and the second PUCCH-Config IE according to the priority indicator.

5. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) for configuring Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources, the method comprising:

receiving a first bandwidth part (BWP) configuration associated with a first uplink (UL) BWP, the first BWP configuration including a PUCCH-ConfigList information element (IE), which includes a first PUCCH-Config IE and a second PUCCH-Config IE, the first PUCCH-Config IE indicating a first set of PUCCH resource identifiers (IDs), and the second PUCCH-Config IE indicating a second set of PUCCH resource IDs,

wherein:

a first PUCCH, which corresponds to a first resource ID resource selected from the first set of PUCCH resource IDs for transmitting a first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook associated with the first PUCCH-Config IE, corresponds to a low priority,

a second PUCCH resource, which corresponds to a second resource ID selected from the second set of PUCCH resource IDs for transmitting a second HARQ-ACK codebook associated with the second PUCCH-Config IE, corresponds to a high priority, and

the first set of PUCCH resource IDs and the second set of PUCCH resource IDs share no common PUCCH resource ID.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first PUCCH-Config IE and the second PUCCH-Config IE correspond to different service types.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein:

the first PUCCH-Config IE further indicates a first set of PUCCH spatial relation information IDs, and

the second PUCCH-Config IE further indicates a second set of PUCCH spatial relation information IDs.

8. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

receiving a downlink control information (DCI) message that schedules a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) reception, the DCI message including a priority indicator; and

transmitting HARQ-ACK information associated with the PDSCH reception in the first UL BWP after applying one of the first PUCCH-Config IE and the second PUCCH-Config IE according to the priority indicator.

9. A method performed by a base station (BS) for configuring Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources, the method comprising:

transmitting a first bandwidth part (BWP) configuration associated with a first uplink (UL) BWP, the first BWP configuration including a PUCCH-ConfigList information element (IE), which includes a first PUCCH-Config IE and a second PUCCH-Config IE, the first PUCCH-Config IE indicating a first set of PUCCH resource identifiers (IDs), and the second PUCCH-Config IE indicating a second set of PUCCH resource IDs,

wherein:

a first PUCCH resource, which corresponds to a first resource ID selected from the first set of PUCCH resource IDs for receiving a first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook associated with the first PUCCH-Config IE, corresponds to a low priority,

a second PUCCH resource, which corresponds to a second resource ID selected from the second set of PUCCH resource IDs for receiving a second HARQ-ACK codebook associated with the second PUCCH-Config IE, corresponds to a high priority, and

the first set of PUCCH resource IDs and the second set of PUCCH resource IDs share no common PUCCH resource ID.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first PUCCH-Config IE and the second PUCCH-Config IE correspond to different service types.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein:

the first PUCCH-Config IE further indicates a first set of PUCCH spatial relation information IDs, and

the second PUCCH-Config IE further indicates a second set of PUCCH spatial relation information IDs.

12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

transmitting a downlink control information (DCI) message that schedules a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), the DCI message including a priority indicator; and

receiving HARQ-ACK information associated with the PDSCH in the first UL BWP,

wherein the priority indicator enables the UE to apply one of the first PUCCH-Config IE and the second PUCCH-Config IE for the HARQ-ACK information associated with the PDSCH.
