Abstract

An Uplink Control Information UCI transmission method, a UCI transmission device, a terminal, and a base station are provided. The method includes: selecting one of a plurality of first UCIs as a target UCI, when there are a plurality of transmissions of first UCIs, a plurality of Physical Uplink Control Channels PUCCHs respectively carrying the first UCI do not overlap in time domain, and all of the plurality of PUCCHs carrying the first UCI overlap with a PUCCH carrying a second UCI in time domain; multiplexing the target UCI and the second UCI.

Claims (37)

1 . A transmission method of Uplink Control Information (UCI) performed by a terminal, comprising:

selecting one of a plurality of first Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest Acknowledgements (HARQ-ACKs) as a target HARQ-ACK, when there are a plurality of transmissions of the first HARQ-ACKs, a plurality of Physical Uplink Control Channels (PUCCH) respectively carrying the first HARQ-ACKs do not overlap in time domain, and all of the plurality of PUCCHs carrying the first HARQ-ACKs overlap with a PUCCH carrying a second UCI in time domain;

multiplexing the target HARQ-ACK and the second UCI,

wherein the second UCI is at least one of Channel State information (CSI), HARQ-ACK, or a Scheduling Request (SR),

wherein, one of the plurality of first HARQ-ACKs is selected as the target HARQ-ACK according to one of following:

selecting a first HARQ-ACK, with an earliest start symbol, among the plurality of first HARQ-ACKs as the target HARQ-ACK, wherein the plurality of PUCCHs, carrying the first HARQ-ACKs, not overlapped in time domain are transmitted in different sub-slots;

wherein selecting the first HARQ-ACK, with the earliest start symbol, among the plurality of first HARQ-ACKs as the target HARQ-ACK, the method further comprises:

when a preset condition is satisfied, multiplexing the target HARQ-ACK and the second UCI in a following way: discarding the second UCI; wherein the preset condition comprises at least one of following:

the second UCI is Channel State Information (CSI), and the target HARQ-ACK does not have a corresponding Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH); or

the second UCI is the SR, and the target HARQ-ACK does not have a corresponding PDCCH; or

the second UCI is the SR, and a PUCCH format 1 is used for transmitting the target HARQ-ACK.

2 . A transmission method of uplink control information (UCI) performed by a base station, comprising:

selecting one of a plurality of first HARQ-ACKs as a target HARQ-ACK, when there are a plurality of transmissions of first HARQ-ACKs, a plurality of Physical Uplink Control Channels (PUCCH) respectively carrying the first HARQ-ACKs do not overlap in time domain, and all of the plurality of PUCCHs carrying the first HARQ-ACKs overlap with a PUCCH carrying a second UCI in time domain;

receiving the target HARQ-ACK and the second UCI according to a rule of multiplexing the target HARQ-ACK and the second UCI,

wherein the second UCI is at least one of Channel State information (CSI), HARQ-ACK, or a Scheduling Request (SR),

wherein one of the plurality of first HARQ-ACKs is selected as the target HARQ-ACK according to following:

selecting a first HARQ-ACK, with an earliest start symbol, among the plurality of first HARQ-ACKs as the target HARQ-ACK;

wherein the plurality of PUCCHs, carrying the first HARQ-ACKs, not overlapped in time domain are transmitted in different sub-slots;

wherein selecting the first HARQ-ACK, with the earliest start symbol, among the plurality of first HARQ-ACKs as the target HARQ-ACK, the method further comprises:

when a preset condition is satisfied, receiving the target HARQ-ACK and the second UCI according to the rule of multiplexing the target HARQ-ACK and the second UCI in a following way: determining that the second UCI is discarded;

wherein the preset condition comprises at least one of following:

the second UCI is Channel State Information (CSI), and the target HARQ-ACK does not have a corresponding Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH); or

the second UCI is the SR, and the target HARQ-ACK does not have a corresponding PDCCH; or

the second UCI is the SR, and a PUCCH format 1 is used for transmitting the target HARQ-ACK.

3 . A terminal, comprising: a transceiver, a storage, a processor and a program stored on the storage and executable on the processor, wherein the processor is configured, when executing the program, for:

selecting one of a plurality of first Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest Acknowledgements (HARQ-ACKs) as a target HARQ-ACK, when there are a plurality of transmissions of first HARQ-ACKs, a plurality of Physical Uplink Control Channels (PUCCH) respectively carrying the first HARQ-ACKS do not overlap in time domain, and all of the plurality of PUCCHs carrying the first HARQ-ACK overlap with a PUCCH carrying a second UCI in time domain;

multiplexing the target HARQ-ACK and the second UCI,

wherein the second UCI is at least one of Channel State information (CSI), HARQ-ACK, or a Scheduling Request (SR);

wherein one of the plurality of first HARQ-ACKs is selected by the processor as the target HARQ-ACK according to following:

selecting a first HARQ-ACK, with an earliest start symbol, among the plurality of first HARQ-ACKs as the target HARQ-ACK;

wherein the plurality of PUCCHs, carrying the first HARQ-ACKs, not overlapped in time domain are transmitted in different sub-slots;

wherein selecting the first HARQ-ACK, with the earliest start symbol, among the plurality of first HARQ-ACKs as the target HARQ-ACK, the method further comprises:

when a preset condition is satisfied, multiplexing the target HARQ-ACK and the second UCI in a following way: discarding the second UCI; wherein the preset condition comprises at least one of following:

the second UCI is Channel State Information (CSI), and the target HARQ-ACK does not have a corresponding Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH); or

the second UCI is the SR, and the target HARQ-ACK does not have a corresponding PDCCH; or

the second UCI is the SR, and a PUCCH format 1 is used for transmitting the target HARQ-ACK.

4 . A base station, comprising: a transceiver, a storage, a processor and a program stored on the storage and executable on the processor, wherein the processor is configured, when executing the program, for performing steps of the transmission method of UCI according to claim 2 .
