Abstract

The present application relates to the field of communication technology and discloses an uplink control information sending method and receiving method, apparatuses, a device, and a medium. The present method is applied in a terminal device and comprises: determining a first transmission resource, the first transmission resource being used for sending first uplink control information and second uplink control information; wherein the first transmission resource comprises: a first transmission sub-resource and a second transmission sub-resource, the first transmission sub-resource being used for bearing the first uplink control information, and the second transmission sub-resource being used for bearing the second uplink control information.

Claims (60)

1 . A method for sending uplink control information, applied to a terminal device, the method comprising:

determining a first transmission resource, wherein the first transmission resource is used for sending first uplink control information and second uplink control information;

wherein the first transmission resource comprises: a first transmission sub-resource and a second transmission sub-resource, the first transmission sub-resource is used for carrying the first uplink control information, and the second transmission sub-resource is used for carrying the second uplink control information;

a priority corresponding to the first uplink control information is higher than a priority corresponding to the second uplink control information;

the first transmission sub-resource and the second transmission sub-resource are contiguous and non-overlapping in a frequency domain;

a frequency domain starting position of the first transmission sub-resource is a frequency domain starting position of the first transmission resource;

a frequency domain ending position of the first transmission sub-resource is determined by a load and a code rate of the first uplink control information.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first transmission resource is used for sending all the first uplink control information and all the second uplink control information;

or,

the first transmission resource is used for sending all the first uplink control information and part of the second uplink control information.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first transmission sub-resource and the second transmission sub-resource partially overlap in a time domain;

or,

the first transmission sub-resource and the second transmission sub-resource completely overlap in the time domain.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

a frequency domain starting position of the second transmission sub-resource is located after a frequency domain ending position of the first transmission sub-resource and is adjacent to the first transmission sub-resource;

a frequency domain ending position of the second transmission sub-resource is determined by a load and a code rate of the second uplink control information, or the frequency domain ending position of the second transmission sub-resource is a frequency domain ending position of the first transmission resource.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the code rate of the first uplink control information is independent of a code rate of the second uplink control information.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein:

the code rate of the first uplink control information is a code rate corresponding to a first temporary transmission resource, and the first temporary transmission resource is determined based on at least one of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration of the first uplink control information, a load of the first uplink control information or a resource indication of the first uplink control information.

7 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein:

the code rate of the second uplink control information is a code rate corresponding to a second temporary transmission resource, and the second temporary transmission resource is determined based on at least one of a PUCCH configuration of the second uplink control information, a load of the second uplink control information or a resource indication of the second uplink control information.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining the first transmission resource comprises:

determining a first temporary transmission resource as the first transmission resource, wherein the first temporary transmission resource is determined based on at least one of a PUCCH configuration of the first uplink control information, a load of the first uplink control information or a resource indication of the first uplink control information;

or,

determining a second temporary transmission resource as the first transmission resource, wherein the second temporary transmission resource is determined based on at least one of a PUCCH configuration of the second uplink control information, a load of the second uplink control information or a resource indication of the second uplink control information.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first transmission sub-resource comprises a resource for sending first reference information, wherein the first reference information is used for demodulation of the first uplink control information;

the second transmission sub-resource comprises a resource for sending second reference information, wherein the second reference information is used for demodulation of the second uplink control information.

10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein:

the first reference information and the second reference information are generated independently of each other,

or,

the first reference information and the second reference information are generated in association with each other.

11 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein:

the first reference information is a part of third reference information, the second reference information is a remaining part of the third reference information after removing the first reference information, the third reference information is determined according to configuration information, and the configuration information is used for generating the third reference information.

12 . An apparatus for sending uplink control information, applied to a terminal device, the apparatus comprising: a processor and a transceiver connected to the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to determine a first transmission resource, and the first transmission resource is used for sending first uplink control information and second uplink control information;

wherein the first transmission resource comprises: a first transmission sub-resource and a second transmission sub-resource, the first transmission sub-resource is used for carrying the first uplink control information, and the second transmission sub-resource is used for carrying the second uplink control information;

a priority corresponding to the first uplink control information is higher than a priority corresponding to the second uplink control information;

the first transmission sub-resource and the second transmission sub-resource are contiguous and non-overlapping in a frequency domain;

a frequency domain starting position of the first transmission sub-resource is a frequency domain starting position of the first transmission resource;

a frequency domain ending position of the first transmission sub-resource is determined by a load and a code rate of the first uplink control information.

13 . The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein:

the first transmission resource is used for sending all the first uplink control information and all the second uplink control information;

or,

the first transmission resource is used for sending all the first uplink control information and part of the second uplink control information.

14 . An apparatus for receiving uplink control information, applied to a network device, the apparatus comprising:

a processor and a transceiver connected to the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to determine a first transmission resource, and the first transmission resource is used for receiving first uplink control information and second uplink control information;

wherein the first transmission resource comprises: a first transmission sub-resource and a second transmission sub-resource, the first transmission sub-resource is used for carrying the first uplink control information, and the second transmission sub-resource is used for carrying the second uplink control information;
