Abstract

A method for transmitting uplink control information (UCI) is provided. The method includes determining, by a user equipment (UES), the physical uplink control channel (PUSCH) resource for transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information and scheduling request (SR) information, and determining, by the UE, an occupied PUCCH resource and transmitting the HARQ-ACK and SR according to the SR resource and whether it is necessary to transmit the SR currently.

Claims (60)

1. A method performed by a user equipment, UE, in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, through high layer signaling, configuration information including information associated with a plurality of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources, wherein a set of initial cyclic offsets is indicated by the information associated with the plurality of PUCCH resources; and

transmitting, to the base station, uplink control information (UCI) including hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) via a PUCCH based on the set of initial cyclic offsets,

wherein in case that the plurality of PUCCH resources are not dedicated for the UE, the set of initial cyclic offsets includes 0, 4, and 8,

based on one information bit used for the HARQ-ACK, value of the one information bit is indicated based on one of sequence cyclic offsets including 0 and 6, and

cyclic offset for the UE is determined based on one of the set of initial cyclic offsets and the one of the sequence cyclic offsets.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein format of the plurality of PUCCH resources is PUCCH format 0.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the base station, through high layer signaling, another configuration information including a plurality of resources, each of the plurality of resources corresponding to each of a plurality of scheduling requests (SRs) respectively, K SRs among the plurality of SRs being configured to be transmitted by the UE in a slot via K PUCCHs, respectively, K being an integer greater than 1;

generating another UCI including information of another HARQ-ACK and information of an SR among the K SRs; and

transmitting, to the base station, the other UCI via another PUCCH,

wherein a number of information bits of the information of SR in the other UCI is ┌log 2 (K+1)┐, and

wherein each of K different codewords derived from the ┌log 2 (K+1)┐ information bits indicates each of the K SRs respectively.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein one codeword of the ┌log 2 (K+1)┐ bits indicates no SRs for all the K SRs.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein format of the other PUCCH is one of PUCCH format 2, PUCCH format 3, and PUCCH format 4.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the other UCI further includes information of channel state information (CSI) report.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein:

the other configuration information further includes periodicity and offset information for at least one resource, and

resources for the K SRs are configured by the periodicity and offset information.

8. The method of claim 3 ,

wherein the other HARQ-ACK comprises L bit HARQ-ACK; and

wherein the transmitting the other UCI comprises transmitting L bit HARQ-ACK via the other PUCCH using PUCCH format 2 or PUCCH format 3 or PUCCH format 4.

9. The method of claim 3 , wherein transmission occasion of the SR overlaps with transmission of the other PUCCH with the other HARQ-ACK information in a slot.

10. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), through high layer signaling, configuration information including information associated with a plurality of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources, wherein a set of initial cyclic offsets is indicated by the information associated with the plurality of PUCCH resources; and

receiving from the UE, uplink control information (UCI) including hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) via a PUCCH based on the set of initial cyclic offsets,

wherein in case that the plurality of PUCCH resources are not dedicated for the UE, the set of initial cyclic offsets includes 0, 4, and 8,

based on one information bit used for the HARQ-ACK, value of the one information bit is indicated based on one of sequence cyclic offsets including 0 and 6, and

cyclic offset for the UE is determined based on one of the set of initial cyclic offsets and the one of the sequence cyclic offsets.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein format of the plurality of PUCCH resources is PUCCH format 0.

12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the UE, through high layer signaling, another configuration information including a plurality of resources, each of the plurality of resources corresponding to each of a plurality of scheduling requests (SRs) respectively, K SRs among the plurality of SRs being configured to be transmitted by the UE in a slot via K PUCCHs, respectively, K being an integer greater than 1; and
