Abstract

The present specification relates to a method, a device, and a system for transmitting a physical uplink control channel in a wireless communication system. The present specification discloses a terminal comprising: a communication module for receiving, from a base station, information on a PUCCH serving cell corresponding to a serving cell on which a PUCCH is to be transmitted, generating the PUCCH, and transmitting the generated PUCCH on the PUCCH serving cell; and a processor for configuring the PUCCH serving cell on the basis of the information on the PUCCH serving cell. The terminal can effectively transmit uplink control information.

a processor; and

a communication module,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive semi-persistent scheduling physical downlink shared channels (SPS PDSCHs) based on SPS configurations, each of the SPS configurations including a respective maximum deferral duration,

generate first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information for the SPS PDSCHs,

determine a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource for transmitting a first PUCCH for the first HARQ-ACK information, and

based on that the first PUCCH resource overlaps with a symbol unavailable for PUCCH transmission, defer a transmission of second HARQ-ACK information to a second PUCCH on an earliest transmittable PUCCH resource after the first PUCCH resource,

wherein the second HARQ-ACK information includes HARQ-ACK information from the first HARQ-ACK information, so that the second HARQ-ACK information corresponds to at least one first SPS PDSCH among the SPS PDSCHs, and

wherein each of the at least one first SPS PDSCH satisfies: a maximum deferral duration of a corresponding SPS configuration is larger than or equal to a time difference between a slot of the second PUCCH and a slot of a respective first SPS PDSCH reception.

2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the symbol unavailable for PUCCH transmission includes a configured downlink symbol.

3. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the deferring the transmission of the second HARQ-ACK information includes:

if a first earliest PUCCH where the second HARQ-ACK information can be multiplexed, after the first PUCCH resource, is transmittable, transmitting the second HARQ-ACK information via the first earliest PUCCH, and

if the first earliest PUCCH is not transmitted due to an overlap with a downlink symbol, determining a second earliest PUCCH where third HARQ-ACK information from the second HARQ-ACK information can be multiplexed, after the first earliest PUCCH.

4. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the second PUCCH is allocated on either a primary cell or a secondary cell, based on a periodic cell switching pattern configured by a bit-map of a radio resource control (RRC) signal, and

wherein each bit of the bit-map corresponds to a respective slot in reference to a numerology of the primary cell, and each bit value of the bit-map indicates either the primary cell or the secondary cell as a cell for PUCCH transmission in a corresponding slot.

5. A method for use by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving semi-persistent scheduling physical downlink shared channels (SPS PDSCHs) based on SPS configurations, each of the SPS configurations including a respective maximum deferral duration;

generating first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information for the SPS PDSCHs;

determining a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource for transmitting a first PUCCH for the first HARQ-ACK information; and

based on that the first PUCCH resource overlaps with a symbol unavailable for PUCCH transmission, deferring a transmission of second HARQ-ACK information to a second PUCCH on an earliest transmittable PUCCH resource after the first PUCCH resource,

wherein the second HARQ-ACK information includes HARQ-ACK information from the first HARQ-ACK information, so that the second HARQ-ACK information corresponds to at least one first SPS PDSCH among the SPS PDSCHs, and

wherein each of the at least one first SPS PDSCH satisfies: a maximum deferral duration of a corresponding SPS configuration is larger than or equal to a time difference between a slot of the second PUCCH and a slot of a respective first SPS PDSCH reception.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the symbol unavailable for PUCCH transmission includes a configured downlink symbol.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the deferring the transmission of the first HARQ-ACK information includes:

if a first earliest PUCCH where the second HARQ-ACK information can be multiplexed, after the first PUCCH resource, is transmittable, transmitting the second HARQ-ACK information via the first earliest PUCCH, and

if the first earliest PUCCH is not transmitted due to an overlap with a downlink symbol, determining a second earliest PUCCH where third HARQ-ACK information from the second HARQ-ACK information can be multiplexed, after the first earliest PUCCH.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second PUCCH is allocated on either a primary cell or a secondary cell based on a periodic cell switching pattern configured by a bit-map of a radio resource control (RRC) signal, and

wherein each bit of the bit-map corresponds to a respective slot in reference to a numerology of the primary cell, and each bit value of the bit-map indicates either the primary cell or the secondary cell as a cell for PUCCH transmission in a corresponding slot.

9. A base station (BS) for use in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:

a processor; and

a communication module,

wherein the processor is configured to:

transmit semi-persistent scheduling physical downlink shared channels (SPS PDSCHs) based on SPS configurations, each of the SPS configurations including a respective maximum deferral duration,
