Abstract

An uplink transmission method performed by a terminal includes: receiving, from a base station, at least one DCI for allocating first uplink transmission and second uplink transmission; performing a first LBT procedure for the first uplink transmission, and performing the first uplink transmission when the first LBT procedure is successful; and performing a second LBT procedure for the second uplink transmission, and performing the second uplink transmission when the second LBT procedure is successful, wherein the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission are consecutively performed with a time interval longer than a predetermined time.

Claims (25)

1. An uplink control information (UCI) transmission method performed by a terminal, the UCI transmission method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, first configuration information for repeated transmissions of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and second configuration information for repeated transmissions of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH);

when UCI to be transmitted occurs, identifying whether a first PUCCH instance according to the repeated transmissions of the PUCCH is to overlap in at least one symbol with a first PUSCH instance according to the repeated transmissions of the PUSCH; and

in response to identifying the first PUCCH instance is to overlap in at least one symbol with the first PUSCH instance, transmitting the first PUCCH instance with dropping the first PUSCH instance,

wherein the transmitting of the first PUCCH instance with dropping the first PUSCH instance is performed when a number of the repeated transmissions of the PUCCH is greater than 1, and PUSCH instances including the first PUSCH instance are repeatedly transmitted according to a PUSCH repetition type B.

2. The UCI transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein the PUSCH and the PUCCH have a same priority index.

3. The UCI transmission method according to claim 2 , wherein both the PUSCH and the PUCCH correspond to enhance mobile broadband (eMBB) traffic, or both the PUSCH and the PUCCH correspond to ultra-reliability and low-latency communication (URLLC) traffic.

4. The UCI transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein the first configuration information is received through a combination of downlink control information (DCI) and radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

5. The UCI transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein the second configuration information is received through RRC signaling.

6. The UCI transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein the second configuration information configures the number of the repeated transmissions of the PUCCH for each PUCCH format.

7. The UCI transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein the second configuration information configures the number of the repeated transmissions of the PUCCH for each PUCCH resource.

8. A terminal comprising:

a processor; and

a transceiver controlled by the processor,

wherein the processor is configure to:

receive, from a base station and through the transceiver, first configuration information for repeated transmissions of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and second configuration information for repeated transmissions of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH);

when UCI to be transmitted occurs, identify whether a first PUCCH instance according to the repeated transmissions of the PUCCH is to overlap in at least one symbol with a first PUSCH instance according to the repeated transmissions of the PUSCH; and

in response to identifying the first PUCCH instance is to overlap in at least one symbol with the first PUSCH instance, transmit the first PUCCH instance with dropping the first PUSCH instance through the transceiver,

wherein the transmitting of the first PUCCH instance with dropping the first PUSCH instance is performed when a number of the repeated transmissions of the PUCCH is greater than 1, and PUSCH instances including the first PUSCH instance are repeatedly transmitted according to a PUSCH repetition type B.

9. The terminal according to claim 8 , wherein the PUSCH and the PUCCH have a same priority index.

10. The terminal according to claim 9 , wherein both the PUSCH and the PUCCH correspond to enhance mobile broadband (eMBB) traffic, or both the PUSCH and the PUCCH correspond to ultra-reliability and low-latency communication (URLLC) traffic.

11. The terminal according to claim 8 , wherein the first configuration information is received through a combination of downlink control information (DCI) and radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

12. The terminal according to claim 8 , wherein the second configuration information is received through RRC signaling.

13. The terminal according to claim 8 , wherein the second configuration information configures the number of the repeated transmissions of the PUCCH for each PUCCH format.

14. The terminal according to claim 8 , wherein the second configuration information configures the number of the repeated transmissions of the PUCCH for each PUCCH resource.
