Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and a device in a node for wireless communications. A first node receives a first signaling and a second signaling; and transmits a first signal in a first radio resource block. The first signaling is used to determine the first radio resource block; the first signal carries a first bit block and a second bit block, of which the first bit block is associated with the first signaling, and a third bit block is associated with the second signaling, the third bit block being used to generate the second bit block; a number of bits comprised in the first bit block is used to determine a first resource size, a second resource size is used to determine a size of time-frequency resources occupied by the first signal. The method proposed herein improves resource utilization ratio of the wireless system.

Claims (37)

1 . A user equipment (UE), comprising:

a receiver; and

a processor;

wherein the receiver and the processor are configured to:

receive downlink control information (DCI) and radio resource control (RRC) signaling;

determine, based on the DCI, a first radio resource and a first resource size;

determine, based on the RRC signaling, a second radio resource and a second resource size; and

wherein the first resource size and second resources size satisfy at least one of: (i) a ratio of the second resource size to the first resource size is less than or equal to a first threshold, or (ii) a difference between the second resource size and the first resource size is less than or equal to a second threshold.

2 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the first radio resource is a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource.

3 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the second radio resource is a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource.

4 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first threshold and the second threshold is configurable via the RRC signaling.

5 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the first resource size is determined based on (i) a number of bits indicated by the DCI and (ii) a first code rate.

6 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the maximum value of the second resource size is based on: (i) the first resource size and (ii) the first threshold.

7 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the second resource size is used to determine: (i) a size of a time-frequency resource occupied by a transmission on the first radio resource and (ii) a number of bits associated with the RRC signaling.

8 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the first radio resource and the second radio resource are multiplexed within a single uplink occasion.

9 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the DCI indicates a first priority and the RRC signaling indicates a second priority, the first priority being different from the second priority.

10 . A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving downlink control information (DCI) and radio resource control (RRC) signaling;

determining, based on the DCI, a first radio resource and a first resource size;

determining, based on the RRC signaling, a second radio resource and a second resource size; and

wherein the first resource size and second resources size satisfy at least one of: (i) a ratio of the second resource size to the first resource size is less than or equal to a first threshold, or (ii) a difference between the second resource size and the first resource size is less than or equal to a second threshold.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first radio resource is a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the second radio resource is a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource.

13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein at least one of the first threshold and the second threshold is configurable via the RRC signaling.

14 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first resource size is determined based on (i) a number of bits indicated by the DCI and (ii) a first code rate.

15 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the maximum value of the second resource size is based on: (i) the first resource size and (ii) the first threshold.

16 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the second resource size is used to determine: (i) a size of a time-frequency resource occupied by a transmission on the first radio resource and (ii) a number of bits associated with the RRC signaling.

17 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first radio resource and the second radio resource are multiplexed within a single uplink channel.

18 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the DCI indicates a first priority and the RRC signaling indicates a second priority, the first priority being different from the second priority.

19 . A base station (BS), comprising:

a transmitter; and

a processor;

wherein the transmitter and the processor are configured to:

transmit downlink control information (DCI) indicating a first radio resource and a first resource size;

transmit radio resource control (RRC) signaling indicating a second radio resource and a second resource size; and

wherein the first resource size and second resources size satisfy at least one of: (i) a ratio of the second resource size to the first resource size is less than or equal to a first threshold, or (ii) a difference between the second resource size and the first resource size is less than or equal to a second threshold.

20 . The BS of claim 19 , wherein the RRC signaling configures at least one of the first threshold or the second threshold.
