Abstract

A method for transmitting uplink control information is provided. The method includes receiving a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), determining Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources for feeding back Hybrid Automatic repeat Request Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information of the PDSCH, and transmitting a HARQ-ACK of the PDSCH on the PUCCH resources according to at least one of HARQ-ACK timing information, the time domain duration of scheduling unit in a downlink bandwidth part and an uplink bandwidth part, or PUCCH resource indication information. The embodiments of the application further propose a corresponding user equipment and a corresponding computer storage medium.

generating a row by replacing a start symbol index of the row with a sum of the start symbol index of the PDCCH monitoring occasion and the start symbol index of the row, in case that the start symbol index of the PDCCH monitoring occasion is greater than 0; and

adding the generated row to the one or more rows.

identify one or more HARQ-ACK information bits of the semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook based on the one or more candidate PDSCH receptions; and

transmit, to a base station via the transceiver, uplink control information (UCI) including the one or more HARQ-ACK information bits on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).

9. The terminal of claim 8 ,

wherein the one or more HARQ-ACK information bits indicate ACK or negative-ACK (NACK) for the one or more candidate PDSCH receptions, respectively, and

wherein a location for each of the one or more HARQ-ACK information bits in the semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook is based on the one or more candidate PDSCH receptions.
