Abstract

A Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) transmission method and apparatus, a device and a medium are provided. The PUCCH transmission method includes: acquiring PUCCH repeat transmission information; determining a resource location of each PUCCH repeat transmission; and transmitting the PUCCH based on the repeat transmission information and the resource location.

Claims (49)

1. A Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) transmission method, comprising:

acquiring PUCCH repeat transmission information, wherein the repeat transmission information comprises: the total number of the repeat transmissions;

determining a resource location of each PUCCH repeat transmission, wherein determining the resource location of each PUCCH repeat transmission comprises: determining the resource location of the first PUCCH transmission according to a start symbol of the PUCCH and the number of symbols,

wherein:

the number of the PUCCH repeat transmissions within one sub-slot is one, and

the resource location of other times of PUCCH transmission and the resource location of the first PUCCH transmission are the same in a sub-slot; and

transmitting the PUCCH based on the repeat transmission information and the resource location, wherein the transmitting the PUCCH based on the repeat transmission information and the resource location comprises:

transmitting the PUCCH by using different pieces of spatial relationship information based on the repeat transmission information and the resource location,

wherein the spatial relationship information used in each PUCCH repeat transmission is determined according to a cyclic mode of a spatial relationship information.

2. The PUCCH transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein multiple sub-slots for the PUCCH repeat transmission are consecutive or inconsecutive in time domain.

3. The PUCCH transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein the repeat transmission information comprises: the number of time units of the PUCCH repeat transmissions and the number of the PUCCH repeat transmissions in each time unit; and

the determining the resource location of each PUCCH repeat transmission comprises:

determining the resource location of the first PUCCH transmission within any one of multiple time units according to a start symbol of the PUCCH and the number of symbols,

determining the resource location of other times of PUCCH transmission within the time unit according to a second preset resource location determining rule, and

determining that the resource location of the PUCCH transmission within other time units is as same as the resource location of the PUCCH transmission within the time unit.

4. The PUCCH transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein the different pieces of spatial relationship information comprises:

multiple pieces of spatial relationship information configured and activated for the PUCCH repeat transmission; and

multiple pieces of spatial relationship information included in one of one or more spatial relationship information lists configured or activated for the PUCCH repeat transmission.

5. The PUCCH transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the PUCCH by using different pieces of spatial relationship information comprises:

for each PUCCH repeat transmission, determining spatial relationship information used in each PUCCH repeat transmission; and

transmitting the PUCCH by using the determined spatial relationship information.

6. The PUCCH transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein the spatial relationship information used in any two PUCCH repeat transmissions is different; or the spatial relationship information used in two PUCCH repeat transmissions in the multiple PUCCH repeat transmissions is different.

7. A terminal device, comprising: a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and capable of running on the processor, wherein:

when the processor executes the computer program, the processor performs a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) transmission method, the method comprising:

acquiring PUCCH repeat transmission information, wherein the repeat transmission information comprises: the total number of the repeat transmissions;

determining a resource location of each PUCCH repeat transmission, wherein determining the resource location of each PUCCH repeat transmission comprises: determining the resource location of the first PUCCH transmission according to a start symbol of the PUCCH and the number of symbols,

wherein:

the number of the PUCCH repeat transmissions within one sub-slot is one, and

the resource location of other times of PUCCH transmission and the resource location of the first PUCCH transmission are the same in a sub-slot; and

transmitting the PUCCH based on the repeat transmission information and the resource location, wherein the transmitting the PUCCH based on the repeat transmission information and the resource location comprises:

transmitting the PUCCH by using different pieces of spatial relationship information based on the repeat transmission information and the resource location,

wherein the spatial relationship information used in each PUCCH repeat transmission is determined according to a cyclic mode of a spatial relationship information.

8. The terminal device according to claim 7 , wherein multiple sub-slots for the PUCCH repeat transmission are consecutive or inconsecutive in time domain.

9. The terminal device according to claim 7 , wherein the different pieces of spatial relationship information comprise:

multiple pieces of spatial relationship information configured and activated for the PUCCH repeat transmission; and

multiple pieces of spatial relationship information included in one of one or more spatial relationship information lists configured or activated for the PUCCH repeat transmission.

10. The terminal device according to claim 7 , wherein the transmitting the PUCCH by using different pieces of spatial relationship information comprises:

for each PUCCH repeat transmission, determining spatial relationship information used in each PUCCH repeat transmission; and

transmitting the PUCCH by using the determined spatial relationship information.

11. The terminal device according to claim 7 , wherein the spatial relationship information used in any two PUCCH repeat transmissions is different; or the spatial relationship information used in two PUCCH repeat transmissions in the multiple PUCCH repeat transmissions is different.

12. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, wherein the non-transitory computer readable storage medium stores a computer program, and the computer program, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) transmission method, the method comprising:

acquiring PUCCH repeat transmission information, wherein the repeat transmission information comprises: the total number of the repeat transmissions;

determining a resource location of each PUCCH repeat transmission, wherein determining the resource location of each PUCCH repeat transmission comprises: determining the resource location of the first PUCCH transmission according to a start symbol of the PUCCH and the number of symbols,

wherein:

the number of the PUCCH repeat transmissions within one sub-slot is one, and

the resource location of other times of PUCCH transmission and the resource location of the first PUCCH transmission are the same in a sub-slot; and

transmitting the PUCCH based on the repeat transmission information and the resource location, wherein the transmitting the PUCCH based on the repeat transmission information and the resource location comprises:

transmitting the PUCCH by using different pieces of spatial relationship information based on the repeat transmission information and the resource location,

wherein the spatial relationship information used in each PUCCH repeat transmission is determined according to a cyclic mode of a spatial relationship information.
