Abstract

A method is provided to improve resource utilization efficiency of an uplink control channel carrying feedback information, including: a terminal device receives one or more downlink channels carried in one or more first time units, which belong to a time unit set; determines a second time unit for carrying feedback information corresponding to the downlink channels according to a first association relationship between the time unit set and the second time unit; and sends uplink control information including a determined first codebook in the second time unit. When a downlink channel is received in first time units that belong to a subset of the time unit set, and there is a second association relationship between the subset of the time unit set and the second time unit, the first codebook includes only feedback information corresponding to the downlink channel carried in the first time units in the subset.

12. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprises:

determining, from a plurality of candidate codebook modes, the mode of the first codebook as a semi-persistent codebook mode, wherein the plurality of candidate codebook modes comprise the semi-persistent codebook mode and a dynamic codebook mode.

13. A communication apparatus comprising:

at least one processor coupled to one or more memories storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

sending timing indication information carried in physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) scheduling first physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs),

wherein the timing indication information indicates a timing offset between first time units for carrying the first PDSCHs and a second time unit for carrying feedback information for the first PDSCHs;

sending PDSCHs in time units in a time unit set to a terminal device,

wherein the PDSCHs comprise the first PDSCHs,

wherein the first time units belong to the time unit set, and

wherein there is a first association relationship between the time unit set and the second time unit; and

receiving, in the second time unit, uplink control information from the terminal device, wherein the uplink control information includes a first codebook,

wherein, based on meeting a preset condition comprising a first condition, the first codebook comprises only the feedback information for the first PDSCHs, and

wherein the first condition comprises a number of the sent PDSCHs in time units in the time unit set being greater than 1,

wherein the sent PDSCHs in time units in the time unit set only comprises the first PDSCHs, and

wherein the first PDSCHs carry same transport block information.

14. The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the preset condition further comprises a second condition, and the second condition is that a value of downlink assignment indicator (DAI) for dynamically scheduling first PDSCHs.
