Abstract

Claims (54)

1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

receiving, by a terminal device, multiple pieces of first control information from a base station;

determining, by the terminal device, an uplink control channel resource of an uplink control channel according to a first control information corresponding to a highest time unit index among the multiple pieces of first control information,

wherein the uplink control channel resource comprises one time-domain symbol and Y subcarriers,

wherein Y is a number of subcarriers in one or more physical resource blocks,

wherein a type of an uplink control information (UCI) is determined based on at least an information length of the UCI,

wherein parameters related to a demodulation reference signal of the uplink control channel are based on the type of the UCI; and

transmitting, by the terminal device, information on the uplink control channel using the uplink control channel resource.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first control information comprises a Downlink Control Information (DCI) signaling.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a time-frequency-domain position of the demodulation reference signal of the uplink control channel is further determined based on a number of time-domain symbols of the uplink control channel.

4. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

receiving, by the terminal device from the base station, information about multiple uplink control channel resource sets; and

selecting, by the terminal device, an uplink control channel resource set from the multiple uplink control channel resource sets, wherein the uplink control channel resource is in the uplink control channel resource set.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the type of the UCI corresponds to a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) format.

6. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

transmitting, by a base station, multiple pieces of first control information to a terminal device;

receiving, by the base station, information on an uplink control channel using an uplink control channel resource,

wherein the uplink control channel resource is determined according to a first control information corresponding to a highest time unit index among the multiple pieces of first control information,

wherein the uplink control channel resource comprises one time-domain symbol and Y subcarriers,

wherein Y is a number of subcarriers in one or more physical resource blocks,

wherein a type of an uplink control information (UCI) is determined based on at least an information length of the UCI, and

wherein parameters related to a demodulation reference signal of the uplink control channel are based on the type of the UCI.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first control information comprises a Downlink Control Information (DCI) signaling.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein a time-frequency-domain position of the demodulation reference signal of the uplink control channel is further determined based on a number of time-domain symbols of the uplink control channel.

9. The method of claim 6 , comprising:

transmitting, by the base station to the terminal device, information about multiple uplink control channel resource sets to enable the terminal device to select an uplink control channel resource set from the multiple uplink control channel resource sets, wherein the uplink control channel resource is in the uplink control channel resource set.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the type of the UCI corresponds to a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) format.

11. A device for wireless communication, comprising at least one processor that is configured to:

receive multiple pieces of first control information from a base station;

determine an uplink control channel resource of an uplink control channel according to a first control information corresponding to a highest time unit index among the multiple pieces of first control information,

wherein the uplink control channel resource comprises one time-domain symbol and Y subcarriers,

wherein Y is a number of subcarriers in one or more physical resource blocks,

wherein a type of an uplink control information (UCI) is determined based on at least an information length of the UCI,

wherein parameters related to a demodulation reference signal of the uplink control channel are based on the type of the UCI; and

transmit information on the uplink control channel using the uplink control channel resource.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the first control information comprises a Downlink Control Information (DCI) signaling.

13. The device of claim 11 , wherein a time-frequency-domain position of the demodulation reference signal of the uplink control channel is further determined based on a number of time-domain symbols of the uplink control channel.

14. The device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive, from the base station, information about multiple uplink control channel resource sets; and

select an uplink control channel resource set from the multiple uplink control channel resource sets, wherein the uplink control channel resource is in the uplink control channel resource set.

15. The device of claim 11 , wherein the type of the UCI corresponds to a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) format.

16. A device for wireless communication, comprising at least one processor that is configured to:

transmit multiple pieces of first control information to a terminal device;

receive information on an uplink control channel using an uplink control channel resource,

wherein the uplink control channel resource is determined according to a first control information corresponding to a highest time unit index among the multiple pieces of first control information,

wherein the uplink control channel resource comprises one time-domain symbol and Y subcarriers,

wherein Y is a number of subcarriers in one or more physical resource blocks,

wherein a type of an uplink control information (UCI) is determined based on at least an information length of the UCI, and

wherein parameters related to a demodulation reference signal of the uplink control channel are based on the type of the UCI.

17. The device of claim 16 , wherein the first control information comprises a Downlink Control Information (DCI) signaling.

18. The device of claim 16 , wherein a time-frequency-domain position of the demodulation reference signal of the uplink control channel is further determined based on a number of time-domain symbols of the uplink control channel.

19. The device of claim 16 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

transmit, to the terminal device, information about multiple uplink control channel resource sets to enable the terminal device to select an uplink control channel resource set from the multiple uplink control channel resource sets, wherein the uplink control channel resource is in the uplink control channel resource set.

20. The device of claim 16 , wherein the type of the UCI corresponds to a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) format.
