Abstract

This application provides a UCI sending and receiving method and a communications apparatus. In the method, an association relationship between a PUCCH and a PUSCH is established, so that when resources of the PUSCH and the PUCCH overlap, a terminal device can determine UCI on which PUCCHs can be transmitted by multiplexing the resource of the PUSCH. A network device may receive the UCI on the PUSCH. Because the network device may know in advance which PUCCHs and PUSCHs are sent to the network device, the network device can demodulate and decode a signal on the received PUSCHs, to successfully obtain UCI. The network device can make a proper decision based on the UCI.

Claims (28)

1. A method, comprising:

determining, by an apparatus, that resources of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) overlap, wherein the PUSCH is scheduled by a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), and wherein the PUCCH is used to transmit uplink control information (UCI); and

transmitting, by the apparatus, the UCI on the PUSCH based on that the PUCCH is associated with a PDCCH configuration of the PDCCH.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UCI comprises at least one of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) information or channel state information (CSI).

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a resource of the PUCCH is determined by a PUCCH configuration, and wherein the PUCCH configuration is associated with the PDCCH configuration.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the PUCCH configuration comprises an indication of the PDCCH configuration.

5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the PUCCH configuration and the PDCCH configuration are configured for a same bandwidth part (BWP), and wherein an identifier of a BWP uplink dedicated parameter to which the PUCCH configuration belongs is the same as an identifier of a BWP downlink dedicated parameter to which the PDCCH configuration belongs.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a resource of the PUCCH is determined by a CSI report configuration, and wherein the CSI report configuration is associated with the PDCCH configuration.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the CSI report configuration comprises an indication of the PDCCH configuration.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein a CSI measurement configuration to which the CSI report configuration belongs comprises an indication of the PDCCH configuration.

9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein a CSI measurement configuration to which the CSI report configuration belongs and the PDCCH configuration belong to a same serving cell, and wherein an identifier of the CSI measurement configuration is the same as an identifier of a BWP downlink dedicated parameter to which the PDCCH configuration belongs.

10. The method according to claim 6 , wherein a CSI measurement configuration to which the CSI report configuration belongs and the PDCCH configuration belong to a same BWP dedicated parameter in a same serving cell configuration.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a resource of the PUCCH is obtained from a plurality of PUCCH resources in a PUCCH configuration, wherein each PUCCH resource is configured by using a set of PUCCH resource configuration parameters, and wherein the set of PUCCH resource configuration parameters comprise an indication of an associated PDCCH configuration.

12. An apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing programming for execution by the at least one processor, the programming including instructions to:

determine that resources of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) overlap, wherein the PUSCH is scheduled by a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), and wherein the PUCCH is used to transmit uplink control information (UCI); and

transmit the UCI on the PUSCH based on that the PUCCH is associated with a PDCCH configuration of the PDCCH.

13. The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the UCI comprises at least one of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) information or channel state information (CSI).

14. The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein a resource of the PUCCH is determined by a PUCCH configuration, and wherein the PUCCH configuration is associated with the PDCCH configuration.

15. The apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the PUCCH configuration comprises an indication of the PDCCH configuration.

16. The apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the PUCCH configuration and the PDCCH configuration are configured for a same bandwidth part (BWP), and wherein an identifier of a BWP uplink dedicated parameter to which the PUCCH configuration belongs is the same as an identifier of a BWP downlink dedicated parameter to which the PDCCH configuration belongs.

17. The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein a resource of the PUCCH is determined by a CSI report configuration, and wherein the CSI report configuration is associated with the PDCCH configuration.

18. The apparatus according to claim 17 , wherein the CSI report configuration comprises an indication of the PDCCH configuration.

19. The apparatus according to claim 17 , wherein a CSI measurement configuration to which the CSI report configuration belongs comprises an indication of the PDCCH configuration.

20. The apparatus according to claim 17 , wherein a CSI measurement configuration to which the CSI report configuration belongs and the PDCCH configuration belong to a same serving cell, and wherein an identifier of the CSI measurement configuration is the same as an identifier of a BWP downlink dedicated parameter to which the PDCCH configuration belongs.

21. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PUSCH is scheduled by the PDCCH of a plurality of PDCCHs, the method further comprising:

receiving, by the apparatus, a plurality of PUCCH configurations for a plurality of PUCCHs, each PUCCH configuration of the plurality of PUCCH configurations corresponding to a different network device, the plurality of PUCCHs including the PUCCH, wherein the PUCCH being associated with the PDCCH configuration indicates that the PUCCH and the PUSCH are sent to a same network device.
