Abstract

A resource determining method, a resource determining apparatus, and a communications device. The resource determining method is applied to a terminal and includes: determining, based on an offset, the number of resources occupied by joint coding of configured grant uplink control information (CG-UCI) and hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) when the HARQ-ACK is multiplexed on a configured grant physical uplink shared channel (CG-PUSCH) for transmission, where the offset is determined by a first offset and/or a second offset, the first offset is an offset corresponding to the HARQ-ACK, and the second offset is an offset corresponding to the CG-UCI.

Claims (202)

determining, based on an offset β offset PUSCH , the number of resources occupied by joint coding of configured grant uplink control information (CG-UCI) and hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) when the HARQ-ACK is multiplexed on a configured grant physical uplink shared channel (CG-PUSCH) for transmission, wherein the CG-UCI comprises an HARQ identity (ID), a new data indicator (NDI) and/or a redundancy version (RV); the offset β offset PUSCH is determined by a first offset, the first offset is an offset β offset HARQ-ACK of the HARQ-ACK;

wherein the offset β offset PUSCH corresponding to joint coding of the CG-UCI and the HARQ-ACK is determined according to the following equation:

β offset PUSCH =β offset HARQ-ACK , wherein

the β offset HARQ-ACK is determined based on a sum of the number of HARQ-ACK bits and the number of CG-UCI bits.

2 . The resource determining method according to claim 1 , wherein

the first offset is configured by radio resource control (RRC) signaling; or

the first offset is indicated by downlink control information (DCI).

3 . The resource determining method according to claim 1 , wherein for transmission of the CG-UCI and the HARQ-ACK, the number of coded modulation symbols per layer Q′ ACK+CG-UCI is determined according to the following equation:
