Method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving uplink control information on a PUCCH in a wireless communication

1. A method of receiving, by a base station (BS), uplink control information (UCI) on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), configuration information related to the PUCCH; and

receiving, from the UE, the UCI on the PUCCH based on the configuration information,

wherein the UCI includes channel state information (CSI) including at least one of a first part or a second part,

wherein the UCI is rate matched,

wherein a first rate matching output length for the first part of the CSI included in the UCI is determined as a smaller of (i) a first value and (ii) a second value,

wherein the first value is related to a total rate matching output length for transmitting the UCI on the PUCCH,

wherein the second value is determined based on dividing a first parameter by each of a second parameter and a third parameter, and

wherein the first parameter is related to a size of the first part of the CSI, the second parameter represents a configured maximum coding rate for the PUCCH, and the third parameter represents a modulation order for the PUCCH.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first rate matching output length for the first part of the CSI is determined based on (┌first parameter÷second parameter÷third parameter┐×third parameter), and

wherein ┌·┐ is a ceiling function.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first rate matching output length is determined by min(first value, ┌first parameter÷second parameter÷third parameter┐×third parameter).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the size of the first part of the CSI is a size of a payload of the first part of the CSI.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information includes (i) information regarding a number of symbols of the PUCCH for transmitting the UCI and (ii) information regarding a number of resource blocks of the PUCCH.

6. The method of claim 5 ,

wherein the first value is determined based on a product N sym PUCCH ×N RB PUCCH , and

wherein (i) the N sym PUCCH is the number of symbols of the PUCCH for transmitting the UCI and (ii) the N RB PUCCH is the number of resource blocks of the PUCCH.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UCI comprises (i) the CSI and (ii) at least one of a Scheduling Request (SR) or Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) information.

8. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the UCI on the PUCCH is received further using a second rate matching output length for the second part of the CSI of the UCI.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the UE through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, the second parameter that represents the configured maximum coding rate for the PUCCH.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI is arranged, based on CSI priority values, in the first part and the second part.

11. A base station (BS) configured to receive uplink control information (UCI) on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:

a transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), configuration information related to the PUCCH; and

receiving, from the UE, the UCI on the PUCCH based on the configuration information,

wherein the UCI includes channel state information (CSI) including at least one of a first part or a second part,

wherein the UCI is rate matched,

wherein a first rate matching output length for the first part of the CSI included in the UCI is determined as a smaller of (i) a first value and (ii) a second value,

wherein the first value is related to a total rate matching output length for transmitting the UCI on the PUCCH,

wherein the second value is determined based on dividing a first parameter by each of a second parameter and a third parameter, and

wherein the first parameter is related to a size of the first part of the CSI, the second parameter represents a configured maximum coding rate for the PUCCH, and the third parameter represents a modulation order for the PUCCH.

12. The BS of claim 11 , wherein the first rate matching output length for the first part of the CSI is determined based on (┌first parameter÷second parameter÷third parameter┐×third parameter), and

wherein ┌·┐ is a ceiling function.

13. The BS of claim 12 , wherein the first rate matching output length is determined by min(first value, ┌first parameter÷second parameter÷third parameter┐×third parameter).

14. The BS of claim 11 , wherein the configuration information includes (i) information regarding a number of symbols of the PUCCH for transmitting the UCI and (ii) information regarding a number of resource blocks of the PUCCH.

15. The BS of claim 14 , wherein the first value is determined based on a product N sym PUCCH ×N RB PUCCH , and

wherein (i) the N sym PUCCH is the number of symbols of the PUCCH for transmitting the UCI and (ii) the N RB PUCCH is the number of resource blocks of the PUCCH.

16. The BS of claim 11 , wherein the UCI on the PUCCH is received further using a second rate matching output length for the second part of the CSI of the UCI.
