Abstract

Provided are a channel configuration method and terminal, a storage medium and an electronic device. The method includes: determining that multiple physical channels overlap in a time domain; and determining a physical channel for carrying information or data in the multiple physical channels, wherein the determined physical channel is a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), and determining a physical channel comprises: among the multiple physical channels, processing a physical channel with earlier first symbol before a physical channel with later first symbol, and when two or more physical channels in the multiple physical channels have the same first symbol, processing a physical channel with a larger number of symbols before a physical channel with a smaller number of symbols.

Claims (71)

1. A wireless communication method, comprising:

processing a first uplink control channel and a second uplink control channel,

wherein the second uplink control channel is selected from two uplink control channels,

wherein the processing is performed in response to the first uplink control channel overlapping with the two uplink control channels in time domain,

wherein the two uplink control channels are time division control channels in the time domain,

wherein one of the two uplink control channels not selected is discarded, and

wherein the first uplink control channel and the two uplink control channels include at least one scheduling request (SR) related physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and at least one a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) related PUCCH.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first uplink control channel includes an acknowledgement or non-acknowledgment (A/N) related PUCCH,

wherein the two uplink control channels include two SR related PUCCHs,

wherein the processing includes processing a first SR related PUCCH of the two SR related PUCCHs and the A/N related PUCCH, and

wherein the processing includes discarding a second SR related PUCCH of the two SR PUCCHs.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the A/N related PUCCH, the first SR related PUCCH, and the second SR related PUCCH have a same PUCCH format.

4. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein the A/N related PUCCH and the first SR related PUCCH have a first PUCCH format, and

wherein the second SR related PUCCH has a second PUCCH format that is different from the first PUCCH format.

5. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein the A/N related PUCCH and the second SR related PUCCH have a first PUCCH format, and

wherein the first SR related PUCCH has a second PUCCH format that is different from the first PUCCH format.

6. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein the A/N related PUCCH has a first PUCCH format, and

wherein the first SR related PUCCH and the second SR related PUCCH have a second PUCCH format that is different from the first PUCCH format.

7. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first uplink control channel includes a SR related PUCCH,

wherein the two uplink control channels include two acknowledgement or non-acknowledgment (A/N) related PUCCHs,

wherein the processing includes processing the SR related PUCCH and a first A/N related PUCCH of the two A/N related PUCCHs, and

wherein the processing includes discarding a second A/N related PUCCH of the two A/N related PUCCHs.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the SR related PUCCH, the first A/N related PUCCH, and the second A/N related PUCCH have a same PUCCH format.

9. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the SR related PUCCH and the first A/N related PUCCH have a first PUCCH format, and

10. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the SR related PUCCH and the second A/N related PUCCH have a first PUCCH format, and

wherein the first A/N related PUCCH has a second PUCCH format that is different from the first PUCCH format.

11. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the SR related PUCCH has a first PUCCH format, and

wherein the first A/N related PUCCH and the second A/N related PUCCH have a second PUCCH format that is different from the first PUCCH format.

12. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the two uplink control channels include a SR related PUCCH and a second A/N related PUCCH,

wherein the processing includes processing the first A/N related PUCCH and one PUCCH selected from the SR related PUCCH or the second A/N related PUCCH, and

wherein the processing includes discarding one PUCCH that is not selected from the SR related PUCCH or the second A/N related PUCCH.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the first A/N related PUCCH, the SR related PUCCH, and the second A/N related PUCCH have a same PUCCH format.

14. The method of claim 12 ,

wherein the SR related PUCCH has a second PUCCH format that is different from the first PUCCH format.

16. The method of claim 12 ,

wherein the first A/N related PUCCH has a first PUCCH format, and

wherein the SR related PUCCH and the second A/N related PUCCH have a second PUCCH format that is different from the first PUCCH format.

17. A wireless communication apparatus, comprising:

a processor configured to:

process a first uplink control channel and a second uplink control channel,

wherein the second uplink control channel is selected from two uplink control channels,

wherein the process is performed in response to the first uplink control channel overlapping with the two uplink control channels in time domain,

wherein the two uplink control channels are time division control channels in the time domain,

wherein one of the two uplink control channels not selected is discarded, and

wherein the first uplink control channel and the two uplink control channels include at least one scheduling request (SR) related physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and at least one a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) related PUCCH.

18. The wireless communication apparatus of claim 17 ,

wherein the first uplink control channel includes an acknowledgement or non-acknowledgment (A/N) related PUCCH,

wherein the two uplink control channels include two SR related PUCCHs,

wherein the process includes process a first SR related PUCCH of the two SR related PUCCHs and the A/N related PUCCH, and

wherein the process includes discard a second SR related PUCCH of the two SR PUCCHs.
