The PUCCH is a physical channel of an UpLink in a New Radio (NR) system, and carries UCI. The intention of setting the PUCCH is that when a User Equipment (UE) is not scheduled, i.e., is not allocated UL-SCH (Uplink Shared Channel) resources, the UE transmits layer 1/layer 2, i.e., L1/L2, control Information including Channel State Information (CSI) (e.g., precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI) and Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), etc.), hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) acknowledgement (ACK/NACK), and scheduling Request using the PUCCH.

At present, when the PUSCH and the PUCCH are overlapped, mapping is carried out by taking a time slot as a unit, but when the PUSCH adopts TBoMS transmission, UCI on the PUCCH cannot be supported to be multiplexed to the TBoMS PUSCH.

In view of the foregoing problems, embodiments of the present application provide an uplink control information multiplexing method and a related apparatus, which are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 2a, fig. 2a is a flowchart illustrating an uplink control information multiplexing method according to an embodiment of the present application, which is applied to the terminal 100 in the wireless communication system 10 shown in fig. 1a, and includes the following steps:

step 201, a terminal determines a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) or a TBoMS Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) for transmitting a transmission block across multiple slots to transmit a first UCI in Uplink Control Information (UCI), wherein the transmission slot of the PUCCH is overlapped with the transmission slot of the TBoMS PUSCH.

Wherein, the TBoMS PUSCH refers to a PUSCH occupying at least 2 continuous time slots.

Wherein a transmission slot of the PUCCH carrying the UCI overlaps with a part or all of a transmission slot of the TBoMS PUSCH.

The UCI may be, for example, HARQ ACK, CSI, or the like, which is not limited herein.

In one possible example, the terminal determines that the TBoMS PUSCH transmits the first UCI.

In this example, the terminal determines that the first UCI is multiplexed on the TBoMS PUSCH for transmission, so that the terminal transmits the first UCI and UL-SCH data on the TBoMS PUSCH, thereby implementing transmission of the UCI carried on the overlapping time slot through the TBoMS PUSCH, and improving system performance.

In this possible example, the PUCCH contains at least two different hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement messages HARQ-ACKs.

Wherein, the at least two may be 2, 3, etc., and are not limited herein.

As can be seen, in this example, the PUCCH having the overlapping slot with TboMS PUSCH may flexibly carry multiple different HARQ-ACKs.

In this possible example, the first UCI contains only a first HARQ-ACK of the at least two different HARQ-ACKs.

For example, as shown in the example diagram of UCI multiplexing transmission in fig. 2b, assuming that PUCCH carries HARQ-ACK1 (slot n is shown) and HARQ-ACK2 (slot n +1 is shown), and TBoMS PUSCH occupies slot n and slot n +1, the terminal determines to multiplex HARQ-ACK1 on slot n, which is the first HARQ-ACK, on TBoMS PUSCH for transmission, and discards HARQ-ACK2 of slot n + 1.

As can be seen, in this example, for the case where transmission slots of a PUCCH and a TBoMS PUSCH carrying multiple different HARQ-ACKs are overlapped, the terminal can multiplex the first HARQ-ACK of the multiple different HARQ-ACKs to the TBoMS PUSCH for transmission, and discard the multiplexed transmission of other HARQ-ACKs, so that the network side receives at least one HARQ-ACK, and does not occupy the TBoMS PUSCH resource excessively, thereby improving system performance.

In one possible example, the PUCCH includes at least two PUCCHs repeatedly transmitting the same UCI and/or at least one PUCCH transmitting non-repeated UCI.

The UCI sent by the at least two repetitions may be one or more groups, and the UCI of any two groups is different, and the number of repetitions of transmission of the UCI in each group is 2 or more than 2, for example, the first group is HARQ-ACK1+ HARQ-ACK1, and the second group is HARQ-ACK2+ HARQ-ACK2.

Wherein the at least one transmission non-duplicate UCI refers to a single transmission of a different UCI, such as HARQ-ACK 3.

As can be seen, in this example, the PUCCH overlapping with the TboMS PUSCH transmission slot may flexibly carry the retransmission and/or non-retransmission UCI, thereby improving system flexibility.

In this possible example, the first UCI includes a single UCI in each group of the at least two repeatedly transmitted identical UCIs and/or the at least one non-repeated UCI.

For example, as shown in the example diagram of UCI multiplexing transmission shown in fig. 2c, assuming that PUCCH carries HARQ-ACK1 (slot n is shown in the figure), HARQ-ACK1 (slot n +1 is shown in the figure), HARQ-ACK2 (slot n +2 is shown in the figure), HARQ-ACK1 (slot n +3 is shown in the figure), and TBoMS PUSCH occupies slot n to slot n +2, the terminal determines to multiplex HARQ-ACK1 in slot n and HARQ-ACK2 in slot n +2 to be transmitted on TBoMS PUSCH, and HARQ-ACK1 in slot n +1 is not multiplexed to be transmitted on TBoMS PUSCH, but is transmitted by its corresponding PUCCH.

For another example, as shown in the example diagram of UCI multiplexing transmission shown in fig. 2d, assuming that a PUCCH carries HARQ-ACK1 (slot n is shown in the figure), HARQ-ACK1 (slot n +1 is shown in the figure), CSI1 (slot n +2 is shown in the figure), and a TBoMS PUSCH occupies slot n to slot n +3, the terminal determines to multiplex HARQ-ACK1 at slot n and CSI1 at slot n +2 on the TBoMS PUSCH, and determines to transmit the HARQ-ACK1 at slot n +1 and CSI1 at slot n +3 on the TBoMS PUSCH without multiplexing on the TBoMS PUSCH, but transmit through the corresponding PUCCH.

In this example, the terminal can multiplex a single UCI in the same UCI in each group of retransmission to the TBoMS PUSCH for transmission for the retransmission UCI carried by the PUCCH, and multiplex the non-retransmission UCI to the TBoMS PUSCH for transmission for the non-retransmission UCI, so that repeated UCI multiplexing transmission is avoided, and system performance is improved.

In one possible example, the first UCI includes only UCI on a first slot of slots on the PUCCH that overlap with a transmission slot of the TBoMS PUSCH.

For example, as shown in the example diagram of UCI multiplexing transmission shown in fig. 2e, assuming that a PUCCH carries HARQ-ACK1 (slot n is shown in the figure), HARQ-ACK1 (slot n +1 is shown in the figure), HARQ-ACK2 (slot n +2 is shown in the figure), and a TBoMS PUSCH occupies slot n to slot n +3, the terminal determines to multiplex HARQ-ACK on the first overlapping slot, that is, HARQ-ACK1 on slot n, on the TBoMS PUSCH for transmission, and the remaining UCI is transmitted by its corresponding PUCCH.

In this example, the terminal only selects to multiplex the UCI in the first overlapping slot on the TBoMS PUSCH for transmission, so as to ensure that the network side can receive the HARQ-ACK and reduce the amount of information, thereby improving the system performance.

In one possible example, the first UCI contains all UCI carried on PUCCH whose transmission slot overlaps with the TBoMS PUSCH transmission slot.

For example, as shown in the example diagram of UCI multiplexing transmission in fig. 2f, assuming that a PUCCH carries HARQ-ACK1 (slot n is shown in the figure), HARQ-ACK1 (slot n +1 is shown in the figure), CSI1 (slot n +2 is shown in the figure), CSI1 (slot n +3 is shown in the figure), and a TBoMS PUSCH occupies slot n to slot n +3, the terminal determines to multiplex UCI on each overlapping slot on the TBoMS PUSCH for transmission.

As can be seen, in this example, for the case where transmission slots of the PUCCH and the TBoMS PUSCH are overlapped, the terminal can multiplex UCI on each overlapped slot for TBoMS PUSCH transmission, so that UCI is not missed, and is comprehensive and accurate.

In one possible example, the PUCCH includes at least one PUCCH to transmit a HARQ-ACK or a Scheduling Request (SR), and the at least one PUCCH includes a first PUCCH of a high priority.

The first PUCCH may be a part or all of the PUCCHs, and is not limited herein.

As can be seen, in this example, the PUCCH overlapping with the TBoMS PUSCH transmission slot includes the first PUCCH with high priority, and thus priority-based PUCCH resource configuration is implemented.

In this possible example, the TBoMS PUSCH transmits the first UCI on a first slot, where the first slot is a slot on the TBoMS PUSCH except a slot overlapping with the first PUCCH transmission slot, and the first UCI is a UCI carried on the PUCCH that can be multiplexed onto the TBoMS PUSCH and needs to be multiplexed onto the TBoMS PUSCH.

For example, as shown in the example diagram of UCI multiplexing transmission shown in fig. 2g, assuming that a PUCCH carries HARQ-ACK1 (slot n is shown in the figure), HARQ-ACK2 (slot n +1 is shown in the figure), HARQ-ACK2 (slot n +2 is shown in the figure), and HARQ-ACK2 (slot n +3 is shown in the figure), a first PUCCH carrying HARQ-ACK1 is of high priority, and a TBoMS PUSCH occupies slot n to slot n +1, the terminal determines that HARQ-ACK1 multiplexing on slot n is transmitted on its corresponding first PUCCH, and HARQ-ACK2 multiplexing on overlapping slot n +1 is transmitted on a second overlapping slot, i.e., slot n +1, of the TBoMS PUSCH.

As can be seen, in this example, for the first PUCCH with high priority, the system supports a multiplexing transmission mechanism at the slot unit level, that is, UCI corresponding to slot multiplexing transmission on TBoMS PUSCH overlapping with a transmission slot of the PUCCH with non-high priority is transmitted.

In this possible example, the TBoMS PUSCH transmits the first UCI on a first sub-slot, where the first sub-slot is a sub-slot on the TBoMS PUSCH except for a sub-slot overlapping with the first PUCCH transmission sub-slot, and the first UCI is a UCI carried on the PUCCH, which can be multiplexed onto the TBoMS PUSCH and needs to be multiplexed onto the TBoMS PUSCH.

For example, as shown in the example diagram of UCI multiplexing transmission in fig. 2h, it is assumed that a PUCCH carries HARQ-ACK1 (slot n is implemented in the diagram), HARQ-ACK2 (slot n +1 is implemented in the diagram), HARQ-ACK2 (slot n +2 is implemented in the diagram), HARQ-ACK2 (slot n +3 is implemented in the diagram), a first PUCCH carrying HARQ-ACK1 is of high priority, and a TBoMS PUSCH occupies slot n to slot n +1, the terminal determines that HARQ-ACK1 on slot n is multiplexed to be transmitted on its corresponding first PUCCH, and HARQ-ACK2 on overlapping slot n +1 is multiplexed to be transmitted on a second sub-slot of a first overlapping slot of the TBoMS PUSCH (one sub-slot occupies 7 symbols in the diagram).

It can be seen that in this example, for the first PUCCH of high priority, the system supports a multiplexing transmission mechanism at the sub-slot unit level, i.e., multiplexing transmission of the corresponding UCI on the sub-slot following the sub-slot where the TBoMS PUSCH overlaps with the sub-slot of the high priority PUCCH transmission.

In this possible example, the TBoMS PUSCH transmits the first UCI and UL-SCH data on symbols other than the symbol that overlaps the first PUCCH. And the TBoMS PUSCH transmits the first UCI on a first symbol, wherein the first symbol is a symbol except a symbol overlapped with the first PUCCH transmission symbol on the TBoMS PUSCH, and the first UCI is a UCI which is carried on the PUCCH, can be multiplexed on the TBoMS PUSCH and needs to be multiplexed on the TBoMS PUSCH.

For example, as shown in the example diagram of UCI multiplexing transmission shown in fig. 2i, assuming that a PUCCH carries HARQ-ACK1 (slot n is shown in the figure), HARQ-ACK2 (slot n +1 is shown in the figure), HARQ-ACK2 (slot n +2 is shown in the figure), and HARQ-ACK2 (slot n +3 is shown in the figure), a first PUCCH carrying HARQ-ACK1 is of high priority, and a TBoMS PUSCH occupies slot n to slot n +1, the terminal determines that HARQ-ACK1 multiplexing on slot n is transmitted on its corresponding first PUCCH, and HARQ-ACK2 multiplexing on overlapping slot n +1 is transmitted on a symbol starting from the 6 th symbol of the first overlapping slot of the TBoMS PUSCH.

It can be seen that in this example, for the first PUCCH of high priority, the system supports a multiplexing transmission scheme at the symbol unit level, i.e. multiplexing transmission of the corresponding UCI on the symbol following the symbol where TBoMS PUSCH overlaps with the high priority PUCCH transmission symbol.

In one possible example, the first slot of the TBoMS PUSCH overlaps with the PUCCH.

As can be seen, in this example, only when the first slot of the TBoMS PUSCH overlaps with the PUCCH, the UCI carried on the PUCCH is multiplexed onto the TBoMS PUSCH.

In one possible example, the terminal determines a first UCI of the PUCCH transmission uplink control information UCI.

Wherein a transmission slot of a PUCCH carrying the first UCI overlaps with a part or all of a transmission slot of the TBoMS PUSCH.

For example, as shown in the example diagram of UCI multiplexing transmission in fig. 2j, assuming that a PUCCH carries HARQ-ACK1 (slot n is implemented in the illustration), HARQ-ACK2 (slot n +1 is implemented in the illustration), and a TBoMS PUSCH occupies slot n to slot n +1, the terminal determines that HARQ-ACK1 multiplexing on an overlapping slot n is transmitted on its corresponding PUCCH, HARQ-ACK2 multiplexing on an overlapping slot n +1 is transmitted on its corresponding PUCCH, and UL-SCH data of the TBoMS PUSCH is discarded.

It can be seen that in this example, the system supports dropping UL-SCH data on TBoMS PUSCH and multiplexing UCI on PUCCH for transmission.

In addition, in the above example, for the case that the first UCI of the multiplexed transmission includes multiple UCIs, the terminal may specifically adopt two manners of combining mapping or independently mapping for the multiple UCIs.

In the combining and mapping manner, the terminal may jointly encode the multiple UCIs and then multiplex the coded UCIs on the TBoMS PUSCH for transmission, and the specific coding manner is not limited uniquely, or may be multiplexing after combining pure bits.

In the independent mapping manner, the terminal may map each UCI in the multiple UCIs in the corresponding slot according to the existing mapping manner of the PUCCH and the PUSCH, and the specific implementation manner is not described herein again.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present application, for the case that there are overlapping slots between the TBoMS PUSCH and the PUCCH, the terminal provides a method for multiplexing UCI to the TBoMS PUSCH or PUCCH, thereby implementing transmission of UCI carried on the overlapping slots and improving system performance.

An embodiment of the present application provides an uplink control information multiplexing apparatus, which may be a terminal. Specifically, the uplink control information multiplexing apparatus is configured to perform the steps performed by the terminal in the uplink control information multiplexing method.

In the embodiment of the present application, the functional modules of the uplink control information multiplexing apparatus may be divided according to the above method example, for example, each functional module may be divided corresponding to each function, or two or more functions may be integrated into one processing module. The integrated module can be realized in a hardware mode, and can also be realized in a software functional module mode. The division of the modules in the embodiment of the present application is schematic, and is only a logic function division, and there may be another division manner in actual implementation.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a possible structure of the uplink control information multiplexing apparatus according to the above embodiment, in a case where each functional module is divided according to each function.

In one possible example, the PUCCH contains at least two different hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement messages, HARQ-ACKs.

In one possible example, the first UCI contains only a first HARQ-ACK of the at least two different HARQ-ACKs.

In one possible example, the first UCI includes a single UCI in each group of the at least two repeatedly transmitted same UCI and/or the at least one non-repeated UCI.

In one possible example, the TBoMS PUSCH transmits the first UCI on a first sub-slot, where the first sub-slot is a sub-slot on the TBoMS PUSCH except for a sub-slot overlapping with the first PUCCH transmission sub-slot, and the first UCI is a UCI carried on the PUCCH that can be multiplexed onto the TBoMS PUSCH and needs to be multiplexed onto the TBoMS PUSCH.

In one possible example, the TBoMS PUSCH transmits the first UCI and UL-SCH data on symbols other than the symbol that overlaps the first PUCCH. And the TBoMS PUSCH transmits the first UCI on a first symbol, wherein the first symbol is a symbol except a symbol overlapped with the first PUCCH transmission symbol on the TBoMS PUSCH, and the first UCI is a UCI which is carried on the PUCCH, can be multiplexed on the TBoMS PUSCH and needs to be multiplexed on the TBoMS PUSCH.

In one possible example, a transmission slot of a PUCCH carrying the first UCI overlaps with a partial or full transmission slot of the TBoMS PUSCH.
