Abstract

The present invention discloses a method of transmitting uplink control information by a user equipment in a wireless communication system and device for supporting the same. Specifically, the present invention discloses a method by which a user equipment maps uplink control information to a physical uplink shared channel when the user equipment intends to transmit the uplink control information on the physical uplink shared channel and transmission operation for the uplink control information based on the same.

Claims (62)

1. A method of transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

multiplexing uplink data and uplink control information (UCI) including Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request-Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information onto the PUSCH,

wherein, based on a bit size of the HARQ-ACK information being equal to or less than 2 bits, the HARQ-ACK information is multiplexed onto the PUSCH by a first method, and

wherein, based on the bit size of the HARQ-ACK information being more than 2 bits, the HARQ-ACK information is multiplexed onto the PUSCH by a second method,

wherein a number of coded modulation symbols for the HARQ-ACK information is determined based on a beta offset value and the bit size of the HARQ-ACK information; and

transmitting the PUSCH,

wherein the beta offset value is determined based on the bit size of the HARQ-ACK information among beta offset values included in a beta offset set, and

wherein the beta offset set is determined based on a beta offset indicator included in downlink control information among a plurality of beta offset sets configured via a higher layer signaling, each beta offset set including a plurality of beta offset values.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the HARQ-ACK information is not multiplexed onto any symbol before a symbol where a first demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) is transmitted on the PUSCH.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving an uplink grant including an uplink downlink assignment index (DAI) value,

wherein the bit size of the HARQ-ACK is determined based on the DAI value.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein, based on the PUSCH being a semi-persistently scheduled PUSCH, the first or second method is performed based on maximum UCI payload dedicated to the semi-persistently scheduled PUSCH.

5. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein, based on the PUSCH being a semi-persistently scheduled PUSCH, the downlink control information is downlink control information which activates the semi-persistently scheduled PUSCH.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on the PUSCH being a semi-persistently scheduled PUSCH, beta offset sets configured for semi-persistently scheduled PUSCH transmissions are used as the plurality of beta offset sets, and

wherein, based on the PUSCH being not a semi-persistently scheduled PUSCH, beta offset sets configured for non-semi-persistently scheduled PUSCH transmissions are used as the plurality of beta offset sets.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first method is puncturing, and the second method is rate-matching.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first method comprises multiplexing M coded bits of the HARQ-ACK information onto the PUSCH by puncturing M coded data bits on the PUSCH, and

wherein the second method comprises multiplexing the M coded bits of the HARQ-ACK information onto the PUSCH by not puncturing coded data bits on the PUSCH but by multiplexing, onto the PUSCH, N coded bits obtained by combining the M coded bits of the HARQ-ACK information and (N−M) coded bits of uplink data.

9. A user equipment (UE) configured to transmit a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions that cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

multiplexing uplink data and uplink control information (UCI) including Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request-Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information onto the PUSCH,

wherein, based on a bit size of the HARQ-ACK information being equal to or less than 2 bits, the HARQ-ACK information is multiplexed onto the PUSCH by a first method,

wherein, based on the bit size of the HARQ-ACK information being more than 2 bits, the HARQ-ACK information is multiplexed onto the PUSCH by a second method,

wherein a number of coded modulation symbols for the HARQ-ACK information is determined based on a beta offset value and the bit size of the HARQ-ACK information; and

transmitting the PUSCH,

wherein the beta offset value is determined based on the bit size of the HARQ-ACK information among beta offset values included in a beta offset set, and

wherein the beta offset set is determined based on a beta offset indicator included in downlink control information among a plurality of beta offset sets configured via a higher layer signaling, each beta offset set including a plurality of beta offset values.

wherein the HARQ-ACK information is not multiplexed onto any symbol before a symbol where a first demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) is transmitted on the PUSCH.

11. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving an uplink grant including an uplink downlink assignment index (DAI) value,
