Abstract

This application discloses an information feedback method, a resource scheduling method, a terminal, and a network device. The information feedback method includes: performing HARQ-ACK feedback for multicast downlink transmission and unicast downlink transmission in one time unit.

Claims (29)

1 . An information feedback method, comprising:

performing hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) feedback for multicast downlink transmission and unicast downlink transmission in one-time-unit slot, wherein the multicast downlink transmission is scheduled by multicast downlink control information (DCI) and the unicast downlink transmission is scheduled by unicast DCI,

wherein the performing HARQ-ACK feedback for multicast downlink transmission and unicast downlink transmission comprises:

constructing a first HARQ-ACK codebook of the multicast downlink transmission and a second HARQ-ACK codebook of the unicast downlink transmission respectively; and

multiplexing the first HARQ-ACK codebook and the second HARQ-ACK codebook to a target feedback resource for transmission, wherein the target feedback resource is determined from a target feedback resource set according to indication of a last piece of the unicast DCI.

2 . The information feedback method according to claim 1 , wherein the target feedback resource set is determined from a feedback resource set corresponding to the unicast downlink transmission based on a number of bits of the multiplexed HARQ-ACK.

3 . The information feedback method according to claim 1 , wherein when HARQ-ACK feedback manners corresponding to multicast Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) and unicast PDSCH are both dynamic feedback and the multicast PDSCH comprises a Downlink Assignment Index (DAI) field, DAI of the multicast PDSCH and DAI of the unicast PDSCH are accumulated respectively.

4 . The information feedback method according to claim 1 , wherein multiplexing the first HARQ-ACK codebook and the second HARQ-ACK codebook to a target feedback resource for transmission comprises:

appending multicast HARQ-ACK after unicast HARQ-ACK.

5 . A terminal, comprising:

a memory storing a computer program; and

a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the computer program to perform operations comprising:

performing hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) feedback for multicast downlink transmission and unicast downlink transmission in one slot, wherein the multicast downlink transmission is scheduled by multicast downlink control information (DCD) and the unicast downlink transmission is scheduled by unicast DCI,

wherein the performing HARQ-ACK feedback for multicast downlink transmission and unicast downlink transmission comprises:

constructing a first HARQ-ACK codebook of the multicast downlink transmission and a second HARQ-ACK codebook of the unicast downlink transmission respectively; and

multiplexing the first HARQ-ACK codebook and the second HARQ-ACK codebook to a target feedback resource for transmission, wherein the target feedback resource is determined from a target feedback resource set according to indication of a last piece of the unicast DCI.

6 . The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the target feedback resource set is determined from a feedback resource set corresponding to the unicast downlink transmission based on a number of bits of the multiplexed HARQ-ACK.

7 . The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein when HARQ-ACK feedback manners corresponding to multicast Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) and unicast PDSCH are both dynamic feedback and the multicast PDSCH comprises a Downlink Assignment Index (DAI) field, DAI of the multicast PDSCH and DAI of the unicast PDSCH are accumulated respectively.

8 . The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein multiplexing the first HARQ-ACK codebook and the second HARQ-ACK codebook to a target feedback resource for transmission comprises:

appending multicast HARQ-ACK after unicast HARQ-ACK.

9 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing a computer program, when the computer program is executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:

performing hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) feedback for multicast downlink transmission and unicast downlink transmission in one slot, wherein the multicast downlink transmission is scheduled by multicast downlink control information (DCD) and the unicast downlink transmission is scheduled by unicast DCI,

wherein the performing HARQ-ACK feedback for multicast downlink transmission and unicast downlink transmission comprises:

constructing a first HARQ-ACK codebook of the multicast downlink transmission and a second HARQ-ACK codebook of the unicast downlink transmission respectively; and

multiplexing the first HARQ-ACK codebook and the second HARQ-ACK codebook to a target feedback resource for transmission, wherein the target feedback resource is determined from a target feedback resource set according to indication of a last piece of the unicast DCI.

10 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the target feedback resource set is determined from a feedback resource set corresponding to the unicast downlink transmission based on a number of bits of the multiplexed HARQ-ACK.

11 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein when HARQ-ACK feedback manners corresponding to multicast Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) and unicast PDSCH are both dynamic feedback and the multicast PDSCH comprises a Downlink Assignment Index (DAI) field, DAI of the multicast PDSCH and DAI of the unicast PDSCH are accumulated respectively.

12 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein multiplexing the first HARQ-ACK codebook and the second HARQ-ACK codebook to a target feedback resource for transmission comprises:

appending multicast HARQ-ACK after unicast HARQ-ACK.
