Abstract

A control information transmission method and apparatus, and a terminal device. A terminal device receives a first downlink signal, hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information corresponding to the first downlink signal being transmitted by means of a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH); the terminal device receives a second downlink signal, HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the second downlink signal being transmitted by means of a second PUCCH. The second PUCCH and the first PUCCH correspond to a same HARQ-ACK codebook; and the terminal device cancels the transmission of the first PUCCH and transmits the second PUCCH, the second PUCCH carrying a first HARQ-ACK codebook, and the first HARQ-ACK codebook at least comprising the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the second downlink signal.

Claims (30)

1. A method for transmitting control information, comprising:

receiving, by a terminal device, a first downlink signal, Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request-Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information corresponding to the first downlink signal being transmitted through a first Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH);

receiving, by the terminal device, a second downlink signal, HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the second downlink signal being transmitted through a second PUCCH, wherein the second PUCCH and the first PUCCH correspond to a same HARQ-ACK codebook; and

canceling, by the terminal device, transmission of the first PUCCH, and transmitting the second PUCCH, the second PUCCH carrying a first HARQ-ACK codebook, and the first HARQ-ACK codebook at least comprising the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the second downlink signal;

wherein in a case that the first HARQ-ACK codebook is a type-2 HARQ-ACK codebook, a correspondence between a bit in the first HARQ-ACK codebook and a downlink signal is determined based on a first target Downlink Allocation Index (DAI) of the downlink signal, wherein

the first target DAI is a DAI of the downlink signal, wherein the DAI of the downlink signal is counted from a starting downlink signal after the first downlink signal in a plurality of downlink signals corresponding to the first HARQ-ACK codebook; or,

the first target DAI is obtained by subtracting the DAI of the first downlink signal from the DAI of the downlink signal, wherein the DAI of the downlink signal is counted from the starting downlink signal in the plurality of downlink signals corresponding to the first HARQ-ACK codebook.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the terminal device, a third downlink signal, a time domain resource for the third downlink signal being located before a time domain resource for the second downlink signal; and

in a case that a time domain resource for a first uplink transmission channel corresponding to the third downlink signal overlaps with a time domain resource for the first PUCCH, determining, by the terminal device, to cancel the transmission of the first PUCCH;

in a case that the time domain resource for the first uplink transmission channel corresponding to the third downlink signal does not overlap with the time domain resource for the second PUCCH, determining, by the terminal device, to transmit the second PUCCH.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first HARQ-ACK codebook further comprises the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first downlink signal.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first HARQ-ACK codebook further comprises HARQ-ACK information corresponding to at least one downlink signal before the first downlink signal; and the at least one downlink signal corresponds to the same HARQ-ACK codebook.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first HARQ-ACK codebook further comprises occupation information corresponding to the first downlink signal.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first HARQ-ACK codebook further comprises occupation information corresponding to at least one downlink signal before the first downlink signal; and the at least one downlink signal corresponds to the same HARQ-ACK codebook.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first HARQ-ACK codebook further comprises HARQ-ACK information corresponding to at least one downlink signal before the first downlink signal; and the at least one downlink signal corresponds to the same HARQ-ACK codebook.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein in a case that the first HARQ-ACK codebook is a type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook, a correspondence between a bit in the first HARQ-ACK codebook and a downlink signal is determined based on semi-static configuration information.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first HARQ-ACK codebook does not comprise the HARQ-ACK information or occupation information corresponding to the first downlink signal.

10. A terminal device, comprising:

an input interface, configured to: receive a first downlink signal, Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request-Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information corresponding to the first downlink signal being transmitted through a first Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH); and receive a second downlink signal, HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the second downlink signal being transmitted through a second PUCCH, wherein the second PUCCH and the first PUCCH correspond to a same HARQ-ACK codebook; and

an output interface, configured to cancel transmission of the first PUCCH and transmit the second PUCCH, the second PUCCH carrying a first HARQ-ACK codebook, and the first HARQ-ACK codebook at least comprising the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the second downlink signal;

wherein in a case that the first HARQ-ACK codebook is a type-2 HARQ-ACK codebook, a correspondence between a bit in the first HARQ-ACK codebook and a downlink signal is determined based on a first target Downlink Allocation Index (DAI) of the downlink signal, wherein

the first target DAI is a DAI of the downlink signal, wherein the DAI of the downlink signal is counted from a starting downlink signal after the first downlink signal in a plurality of downlink signals corresponding to the first HARQ-ACK codebook; or,

the first target DAI is obtained by subtracting the DAI of the first downlink signal from the DAI of the downlink signal, wherein the DAI of the downlink signal is counted from the starting downlink signal in the plurality of downlink signals corresponding to the first HARQ-ACK codebook.

11. The terminal device of claim 10 , wherein the first HARQ-ACK codebook further comprises the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first downlink signal.

12. The terminal device of claim 10 , wherein the input interface is further configured to receive a third downlink signal, a time domain resource for the third downlink signal being located before a time domain resource for the second downlink signal, wherein

the terminal device further comprises a processor, configured to determine to transmit the second PUCCH in a case that a time domain resource for a first uplink transmission channel corresponding to the third downlink signal does not overlap with the time domain resource for the second PUCCH.

13. The terminal device of claim 12 , wherein:

the processor is further configured to determine to cancel the transmission of the first PUCCH in a case that the time domain resource for the first uplink transmission channel corresponding to the third downlink signal overlaps with a time domain resource for the first PUCCH.

14. The terminal device of claim 10 , wherein the first HARQ-ACK codebook does not comprise the HARQ-ACK information or occupation information corresponding to the first downlink signal.
