And 102, transmitting the first uplink information and/or the second uplink information according to the target transmission scheme.

The first time domain resource and the second time domain resource partially overlapping in time domain means that there is at least one symbol belonging to both the first time domain resource and the second time domain resource.

The first time domain resource and the second time domain resource are all overlapped in time domain, which means that the first time domain resource is the same as the second time domain resource.

The unit of the first time domain resource is a symbol. The first time domain resource may include a plurality of symbols that are consecutive. The information carried by the uplink control channel may be jointly transmitted in multiple timeslots/mini-timeslots. In this case, the uplink information transmitted on the uplink control channel in each slot/mini-slot can be regarded as a single first uplink information.

When the first time domain resource and the second time domain resource are not overlapped, how to transmit the first uplink information and the second uplink information is not within the scope discussed in the embodiment shown in fig. 1.

The communication device performing the method shown in fig. 1 may be a terminal device, a chip that can be provided in a terminal device, a network device, or a chip that can be provided in a network device.

In case the method shown in fig. 1 is performed by a terminal device or a chip that can be provided within a terminal device, the term "transmitting" refers to the communication device sending to the network device.

In case the method shown in fig. 1 is performed by a network device or a chip that can be provided within a network device, the term "transmitting" refers to the communication device receiving the terminal device transmission.

For example, if the method shown in fig. 1 is executed by a network device, the step 101 of "determining a target transmission scheme for transmitting first uplink information and second uplink information" refers to determining a target transmission scheme for a terminal device to send the first uplink information and the second uplink information. Similarly, the step 102 of transmitting the first uplink information and/or the second uplink information refers to receiving the first uplink information and/or the second uplink information sent by the terminal device.

For convenience of description, the first uplink information in the following embodiments may refer to information carried by an uplink control channel, and the second uplink information may refer to information carried by an uplink shared channel.

If the communication device is a terminal device or a chip that can be set in the terminal device, the terminal device or the chip that can be set in the terminal device may determine the first time domain resource and the second time domain resource according to the indication of the network device. For example, time domain resource indication information of the network device is received in the time slot n-5, where the time domain resource indication information is used to indicate that the first time domain resource is the 5 th time slot after the time slot n-5, and the starting symbol is 1. In this case, it may be determined that the starting position of the first time domain resource is the second symbol of the time slot n, where n is an integer. For another example, time domain resource indication information of the network device is received in the time slot n-5, where the time domain resource indication information is used to indicate that the second time domain resource is the 5 th time slot after the time slot n-5, and the starting symbol is 2. In this case, it may be determined that the starting position of the second time domain resource is the third symbol of the slot n.

The network device may also indicate a number of time slots for which the time domain resource lasts. For example, the time domain resource indication information may indicate that the second time domain resource lasts for 2 slots, in addition to indicating that the second time domain resource is the 5 th slot after the slot n-5 and the start symbol is 2. Thus, the second time domain resource may include two sub-time domain resources, where the starting position of the first sub-time domain resource is the third symbol of the time slot n, and the starting position of the second sub-time domain resource is the second symbol of the time slot n + 1.

The network device can also indicate a number of mini-slots for which the time domain resources last. For example, the time domain resource indication information may indicate that the second time domain resource lasts for 2 mini-slots, in addition to indicating that the second time domain resource is the 5 th mini-slot after the mini-slot n-5 and the start symbol is 2. Thus, the second time domain resource may include two sub-time domain resources, the starting position of the first sub-time domain resource is the third symbol of the mini-slot n, and the starting position of the second sub-time domain resource is the third symbol of the mini-slot n + 1.

The network device may also indicate a number of symbols for which the time domain resource persists. For example, the network device may further indicate that the first time domain resource has a duration of 5 symbols; the second time domain resource is 2 symbols in duration.

It is to be understood that, if the communication device is a network device or a chip that can be disposed in the network device, the network device or the chip that can be disposed in the network device may determine the first time domain resource and the second time domain resource by itself.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the determining a target transmission scheme for transmitting the first uplink information and the second uplink information according to the second time domain resource includes: determining an available sub-time domain resource set, wherein the available sub-time domain resource set comprises M available sub-time domain resources, wherein the available sub-time domain resources belong to the N sub-time domain resources, a starting time of the available sub-time domain resources is not earlier than a difference between a starting time of the first time domain resource and a first time length, and a starting time of the available sub-time domain resources is not later than a sum of an ending time of the first time domain resource and a second time length, and M is an integer greater than or equal to 0; and determining the target transmission scheme to be at least one of a first transmission scheme, a second transmission scheme, a third transmission scheme, a fourth transmission scheme, a fifth transmission scheme, a sixth transmission scheme and a seventh transmission scheme according to the value of the M.

The value of the first time length may be 0, or may be calculated according to the minimum processing time required by the terminal device from receiving the downlink shared channel to generating the HARQ feedback information and the time slot data from receiving the downlink shared channel to feeding back the HARQ feedback information.

In the case that the downlink data is Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), the maximum allowed delay of the corresponding HARQ feedback information may be 1 slot or 14 symbols. In case that the downlink data is Massive Machine-Type Communication (mtc), the maximum allowable delay of the corresponding HARQ feedback information may be 2 slots or 28 symbols. In case that the downlink data is Ultra-high-reliability Low Latency Communication (URLLC), the maximum allowable delay of the corresponding HARQ feedback information may be 0 slot or 0 symbol.

The second time duration may be a maximum allowed delay transmission delay threshold of the first uplink information. The second time period may be indicated by the network device, or determined according to the traffic type, etc.

Optionally, in some embodiments, M is equal to 1. In this case, the target transmission scheme may be determined to be the first transmission scheme.

Optionally, in other embodiments, M is equal to 0. In this case, the target transmission scheme may be determined to be at least one of the second transmission scheme, the third transmission scheme, the fourth transmission scheme, and the fifth transmission scheme.

Optionally, in some embodiments, M is a positive integer greater than 1. In this case, the target transmission scheme may be determined to be one of the sixth transmission scheme and the seventh transmission scheme.

That is, the determining, by the communication device, that the target transmission scheme is at least one of the first transmission scheme, the second transmission scheme, the third transmission scheme, the fourth transmission scheme, the fifth transmission scheme, the sixth transmission scheme, and the seventh transmission scheme according to the value of M includes: the communication device may determine that the target transmission scheme is the first transmission scheme, if it is determined that M is equal to 1; in a case where it is determined that M is equal to 0, it may be determined that the target transmission scheme is at least one of the second transmission scheme, the third transmission scheme, the fourth transmission scheme, and the fifth transmission scheme; in a case where it is determined that M is a positive integer greater than 1, the target transmission scheme may be determined to be at least one of the sixth transmission scheme and the seventh transmission scheme.

Optionally, in other embodiments, the priority information may be information capable of indicating the first priority and the second priority. For example, the priority information may be a Block Error Rate (BLER) of the first uplink information and a Block Error Rate of the second uplink information. Thus, the first priority and the second priority may be compared by comparing the block error rate of the first uplink information (hereinafter, referred to as BLER1) with the block error rate of the second uplink information (hereinafter, referred to as BLER 2).

For example, if BLER1 is equal to BLER2, then the first priority is equal to the second priority; the second priority is greater than the first priority if BLER1 is less than BLER 2; if BLER1 is greater than BLER2, the first priority is greater than the second priority.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the priority information may further include a first preset value and a second preset value. Thus, the first priority and the second priority may be compared by comparing BLER1, BLER2, the first preset value, and the second and setting.

For example, if BLER1/BLER2 is less than the first preset value, the first priority is greater than the second priority; if BLER2/BLER1 is less than the second preset value, the first priority is less than the second priority; otherwise, the first priority is equal to the second priority.

Optionally, in some embodiments, all or part of the priority information may be indicated by the network device. Accordingly, all or part of the priority information may be preset. For example, BLER1 and BLER2 may be indicated by the network equipment, and the first preset value and the second preset value may be preset. As another example, BLER1, BLER2, the first preset value, and the second preset value may all be indicated by the network device.

Optionally, in other embodiments, the terminal device and the network device may further negotiate with each other to determine that the target transmission scheme is one of the second transmission scheme, the third transmission scheme, the fourth transmission scheme, and the fifth transmission scheme.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the terminal device supports sending uplink information on multiple channels simultaneously. In this case, the target transmission scheme may be determined to be the second transmission scheme.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the priority of the first uplink information is lower than the priority of the second uplink information. In this case, the target transmission scheme may be determined to be the fifth transmission scheme.

In other words, the communication device may determine that the target transmission scheme is the second transmission scheme in a case where it is determined that the terminal device supports simultaneous transmission of uplink information on multiple channels and/or that the network device supports simultaneous reception of uplink information transmitted by the same terminal device on multiple channels; in a case where it is determined that the priority of the first uplink information is equal to the priority of the second uplink information, it may be determined that the target transmission scheme is the third transmission scheme; in this case where it is determined that the priority of the first uplink information is greater than the priority of the second uplink information, it may be determined that the target transmission scheme is the fourth transmission scheme; in this case where it is determined that the priority of the first uplink information is less than the priority of the second uplink information, it may be determined that the target transmission scheme is the fifth transmission scheme.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the first transmission scheme is: and transmitting the first uplink information on part or all of the available sub-time domain resources.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the fourth transmission scheme is: and transmitting first uplink information on the first time domain resource, and punching information of the second uplink information on an overlapped time domain resource or an overlapped time frequency resource, wherein the overlapped time domain resource is an overlapped time domain resource in the first time domain resource and the second time domain resource, the overlapped time frequency resource is an overlapped time frequency domain resource in the first time frequency resource and the second time frequency resource, the first time frequency resource is a time frequency resource used for transmitting the first uplink information, and the second time frequency resource is a time frequency resource used for transmitting the second uplink information.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the sixth transmission scheme is: and transmitting the first uplink information on a specific available sub-time domain resource in the available sub-time domain resource set.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the seventh transmission scheme is: and transmitting the first uplink information on at least one available sub-time domain resource in the set of available sub-time domain resources.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the specific available sub-time domain resource is a first available sub-time domain resource in the set of available sub-time domain resources.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the particular available sub-time domain resource is an available sub-time domain resource carrying a non-self-decoding redundancy version for a first one of the set of available sub-time domain resources.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the at least one available sub-time domain resource is all available sub-time domain resources in the set of available sub-time domain resources.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the at least one available sub-time domain resource is all available sub-time domain resources carrying non-self-decoding redundancy versions in the set of available sub-time domain resources.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the first transmission scheme, the second transmission scheme, the third transmission scheme, the fifth transmission scheme, the sixth transmission scheme, and the seventh transmission scheme further include transmitting second uplink information on the second time domain resource.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the fourth transmission scheme further includes transmitting the first uplink information on the time domain resource of the second time domain resource except the overlapping time frequency resource or the time domain resource in the overlapping time domain resource, or transmitting the first uplink information on the time frequency resource of the second time frequency resource except the overlapping time frequency resource.

It is assumed that the priority of the first uplink information is higher than the priority of the second uplink information. The target transmission scheme is the fourth transmission scheme, that is, the first uplink information is transmitted on the first time domain resource, and the information of the second uplink information on the overlapped time domain resource or the overlapped time frequency resource is punctured, the second uplink information is transmitted on the time domain resource of the second time domain resource except the time domain resource in the overlapped time domain resource or the overlapped time frequency resource, the overlapped time domain resource is the time domain resource overlapped in the first time domain resource and the second time domain resource, the overlapped time frequency resource is the time frequency domain resource overlapped in the first time frequency resource and the second time frequency resource, wherein the first time frequency resource is the time frequency resource used for transmitting the first uplink information, and the second time frequency resource is the time frequency resource used for transmitting the second uplink information.

For example, it is assumed that the second uplink information and the first uplink information overlap only in the time domain resource, and therefore, information of the second uplink information on the overlapped time domain resource may be punctured. In the embodiment of the present application, the puncturing of the information on the overlapping time domain resource by the second uplink information refers to transmitting only the first uplink information in the overlapping symbol. It is assumed that the first uplink information and the second uplink information are both transmitted in one timeslot, and the starting symbol of the second uplink information is symbol 2, lasting 8 symbols. That is, in the absence of the first uplink information, symbols 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are all used for transmitting the second uplink information. Assume that the initial symbol of the first uplink information is symbol 7, lasting 2 symbols. That is, in the absence of the second uplink information, both symbol 7 and symbol 8 are used for transmitting the first uplink information. Since the first uplink information and the second uplink information coexist, the symbol 7 and the symbol 8 are overlapped symbols. In this case, the information of the second uplink information is not transmitted in symbol 7 and symbol 8, symbol 7 and symbol 8 are used for transmitting the first uplink information, and the information originally carried by symbol 7 and symbol 8 is no longer transmitted. The second uplink information may be transmitted at symbols 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9.

Assuming that the priority of the second uplink information is higher than the priority of the first uplink information, the target transmission scheme is the fifth transmission scheme, that is, the first uplink information is transmitted in a fourth time domain, the information of the first uplink information on the overlapped time domain resources or the overlapped time domain resources is punctured, and the second uplink information is transmitted in the second time domain resources, where the fourth time domain resources are time domain resources excluding the time domain resources in the overlapped time domain resources in the first time domain resources.

For example, it is assumed that the second uplink information and the first uplink information are only overlapped in the time domain resource, and therefore, the information of the first uplink information on the overlapped time domain resource may be punctured. In the embodiment of the present application, the puncturing information of the first uplink information on the overlapping time domain resource refers to transmitting only the second uplink information in the overlapping symbol. It is assumed that the first uplink information and the second uplink information are both transmitted in one slot, and the starting symbol of the second uplink information is symbol 2, lasting 8 symbols. That is, in the absence of the first uplink information, symbols 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are all used for transmitting the second uplink information. Assume that the initial symbol of the first uplink information is symbol 7, lasting 2 symbols. That is, in the absence of the second uplink information, both symbol 7 and symbol 8 are used for transmitting the first uplink information. Since the uplink information 2 and the uplink information 3 exist at the same time, the symbol 7 and the symbol 8 are overlapped symbols. In this case, the information of the first uplink information is not transmitted in the symbol 7 and the symbol 8, the first uplink information originally carried by the symbol 7 and the symbol 8 is not transmitted any more, and the symbol 7 and the symbol 8 are still used for transmitting the second uplink information. In other words, the first uplink information is not transmitted in this case.

Similarly, if the first frequency domain resource overlaps the second frequency domain resource and the first time domain resource overlaps the second time domain resource, information on the overlapping time frequency resources may be punctured. Information puncturing on time-frequency domain resources may be performed in units of Resource Blocks (RBs).

Optionally, in other embodiments, the determining a target transmission scheme for transmitting the first uplink information and the second uplink information according to the second time domain resource includes: determining the number Q of time slots to which at least one symbol included in the second time domain resource belongs; the target transmission scheme is determined based on the value of Q.

Optionally, in some embodiments, Q may be 1. In this case, it may be determined that the first target transmission scheme is one of the first transmission scheme, the second transmission scheme, the third transmission scheme, and the fourth transmission scheme.

Optionally, in other embodiments, Q may be a positive integer greater than 1. In this case, it may be determined that the first target transmission scheme is one of the first transmission scheme, the second transmission scheme, the third transmission scheme, the fourth transmission scheme, the fifth transmission scheme, the sixth transmission scheme, the seventh transmission scheme, and the eighth transmission scheme according to a slot position to which at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs.

The communication device may first take a value of Q, and determine that the first target transmission scheme is one of the first transmission scheme to the fourth transmission scheme when Q is 1; in case Q is a positive integer greater than 1, the first target transmission scheme may be determined to be one of the first to eighth transmission schemes according to a time domain position of at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource.

It can be seen that, under the condition that the values of Q are different, the selection range of the first target transmission scheme is also different. In addition, if Q is a positive integer greater than 1, when determining the first target transmission scheme, a time domain position to which at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs also needs to be considered.

In the above embodiment, the range of the first target transmission scheme is determined according to whether the value of Q is 1. It is to be understood that the range of the first target transmission scheme may also be determined according to whether the value of Q is other values. For example, if the value of Q is a positive integer less than or equal to 2, determining the first target transmission scheme as one of the first transmission scheme to the fourth transmission scheme; if Q is a positive integer greater than or equal to 3, the first target transmission scheme may be determined to be one of the first transmission scheme to the eighth transmission scheme according to a time domain position to which at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs.

In addition, in the above embodiments, the selection range of the first target transmission scheme may also be varied correspondingly. For example, if the value of Q is a positive integer less than or equal to 2, determining that the first target transmission scheme is the first transmission scheme or the second transmission scheme; if Q is a positive integer greater than or equal to 3, the first target transmission scheme may be determined to be one of the first transmission scheme to the fourth transmission scheme according to a time domain position to which at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the slot to which at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs is the last slot in the Q slots. In this case, the first target transmission scheme may be determined to be one of the first transmission scheme, the second transmission scheme, the third transmission scheme, and the fourth transmission scheme.

Optionally, in other embodiments, the time slot to which at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs is any time slot except for the last time slot in the Q time slots. In this case, an available set of timeslots may be determined and the first target transmission scheme may be determined to be one of the first transmission scheme, the second transmission scheme, the third transmission scheme, the fourth transmission scheme, the fifth transmission scheme, the sixth transmission scheme, the seventh transmission scheme, and the eighth transmission scheme based on the available set of timeslots.

The communication device may first determine a position of a slot to which at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs in the Q slots, and in a case that it is determined that the slot to which the at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs is a last slot of the Q slots, may determine that the first target transmission scheme is one of the first transmission scheme to the fourth transmission scheme; in a case where it is determined that the slot to which the at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs is any one slot except for the last slot of the Q slots, an available slot set may be determined and the first target transmission scheme may be determined to be one of the first transmission scheme to the eighth transmission scheme according to the available slot set.

It can be seen that, in the case that the slot positions to which at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs are different, the selection range of the first target transmission scheme is also different. In addition, if the slot to which at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs is any one of slots except for the last slot in the Q slots, the available slot needs to be considered when determining the first target transmission scheme.

In the above embodiment, it is determined whether the slot to which the at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs is the last slot of the Q slots to determine the range of the first target transmission scheme. It is to be understood that the range of the first target transmission scheme may also be determined according to whether the slot to which the at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs is another one of the Q slots. For example, if the slot to which at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs is one of the last two slots of the Q slots, determining that the first target transmission scheme is one of the first transmission scheme to the fourth transmission scheme; if the timeslot to which at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs is one of the first two timeslots in the Q timeslots, determining an available timeslot set and determining the first target transmission scheme as one of the first transmission scheme to the eighth transmission scheme according to the available timeslot set.

In addition, in the above embodiments, the selection range of the first target transmission scheme may also be varied correspondingly. For example, if the slot to which at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs is the last slot of the Q slots, it may be determined that the first target transmission scheme is the first transmission scheme or the second transmission scheme; if the timeslot to which at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs is any timeslot except the last timeslot in the Q timeslots, determining an available timeslot set and determining the first target transmission scheme as one of the first transmission scheme to the fourth transmission scheme according to the available timeslot set.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the set of available timeslots may be empty. In this case, the first target transmission scheme may be determined to be one of the first transmission scheme, the second transmission scheme, the third transmission scheme, and the fourth transmission scheme.

Optionally, in other embodiments, the set of available timeslots may be non-empty. In this case, it may be determined that the first target transmission scheme may be one of the fifth transmission scheme, the sixth transmission scheme, the seventh transmission scheme, and the eighth transmission scheme.

The communication device may determine whether the set of available time slots is empty, and in a case where the set of available time slots is determined to be an empty set, determine that the first target transmission scheme is one of the first to fourth transmission schemes; determining the first target transmission scheme to be one of the fifth transmission scheme to the eighth transmission scheme in case that the set of available timeslots is determined to be a non-empty set.

It can be seen that the selection range of the first target transmission scheme is also different according to whether the available time slot set is an empty set or not.

Optionally, in some embodiments, determining the first target transmission scheme may be one of the fifth transmission scheme, the sixth transmission scheme, the seventh transmission scheme, and the eighth transmission scheme may be determined according to an indication of a network device. In other words, the communication device may receive indication information sent by the network device, where the indication information indicates that the first target transmission scheme is the fifth transmission scheme, the sixth transmission scheme, the seventh transmission scheme, or the eighth transmission scheme if the set of available timeslots may be non-empty.

Optionally, in other embodiments, determining that the first target transmission scheme may be one of the fifth transmission scheme, the sixth transmission scheme, the seventh transmission scheme, and the eighth transmission scheme may be determined according to a preset rule. In other words, the communication device may determine the first target transmission scheme to be one of the fifth transmission scheme, the sixth transmission scheme, the seventh transmission scheme, and the eighth transmission scheme according to a preset rule. For example, if the second uplink information includes a decodable redundancy version and/or a non-self-decodable redundancy version, it may be determined that the first target transmission scheme is the seventh transmission scheme or the eighth transmission scheme. If the second uplink information does not include a decodable redundancy version or a non-self-decodable redundancy version, it may be determined that the first target transmission scheme is the fifth transmission scheme or the sixth transmission scheme.

Optionally, in some embodiments, determining that the first target transmission scheme is one of the first transmission scheme, the second transmission scheme, the third transmission scheme, and the fourth transmission scheme includes: determining the first target transmission scheme to be one of the first transmission scheme, the second transmission scheme, the third transmission scheme and the fourth transmission scheme according to service information and time information, wherein the service information includes at least one of service requirement information priority information of an uplink control channel, the time information includes a first time and a second time, the service requirement information of the uplink control channel is used for indicating whether the first uplink information is allowed to be sent in a delayed manner, the priority information is used for indicating a first priority and a second priority, the first priority is the priority of the first uplink information, the second priority is the priority of the second uplink information, the first time is the time for generating the first uplink information, and the second time is the starting time of the second time domain resource.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the first time is not later than the second time. In this case, the first target transmission scheme may be determined to be the first transmission scheme.

For example, it is assumed that the first uplink information and the second uplink information are both transmitted in slot n, and the start symbol of the first uplink information is S1, and the start symbol of the second uplink information is S2. And after the terminal equipment generates the first uplink information, the remaining time from the starting symbol of the first uplink information is t symbols. If S₁-t≤S₂The first time is not later than the second time. In other words, if S₁-t≤S₂There is enough time to generate the first uplink information before transmitting the second uplink information. If S₁-t>S₂The first time is later than the second time. In other words, if S₁-t>S₂There is not enough time to generate the first uplink information before transmitting the second uplink information.

In the above technical solution, a processing time required for generating the first uplink information is considered.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the first uplink message is allowed to be sent with a delay, and the first time is later than the second time and the first priority is equal to the second priority. In this case, the first target transmission scheme may be determined to be the second transmission scheme.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the first uplink information is allowed to be sent with a delay, and the first time is later than the second time and the first priority is greater than the second priority. In this case, the first target transmission scheme may be determined to be the third transmission scheme.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the first uplink information is allowed to be sent with a delay, and the first time is later than the second time and the first priority is lower than the second priority. In this case, the first target transmission scheme may be determined to be the fourth transmission scheme.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the first uplink information is not allowed to be transmitted with a delay and the first priority is greater than or equal to the second priority. In this case, the first target transmission scheme may be determined to be the third transmission scheme.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the first uplink information is not allowed to be transmitted with a delay and the first priority is smaller than the second priority. In this case, the first target transmission scheme may be determined to be the fourth transmission scheme.

The communication device may first determine whether the first uplink information is allowed to be transmitted with a delay, whether the first time is later than the second time, whether the first priority is greater than two or all of the second priorities, and determine the first target transmission scheme. Specifically, the communication device may determine that the first target transmission scheme is the first transmission scheme, if it is determined that the first time is not later than the second time; determining that the first target transmission scheme is the second transmission scheme when it is determined that the first uplink information is allowed to be transmitted in a delayed manner, the first time is later than the second time, and the first priority is equal to the second priority; determining that the first target transmission scheme is the third transmission scheme when it is determined that the first uplink information is allowed to be transmitted in a delayed manner, the first time is later than the second time, and the first priority is higher than the second priority; determining that the first target transmission scheme is the fourth transmission scheme when it is determined that the first uplink information is allowed to be transmitted in a delayed manner, the first time is later than the second time, and the first priority is lower than the second priority; in a case where it is determined that the first uplink information is not allowed to be transmitted with a delay and the first priority is greater than or equal to the second priority, it may be determined that the first target transmission scheme is the third transmission scheme; in a case where it is determined that the first uplink information is not allowed to be transmitted with a delay and the first priority is less than the second priority, it may be determined that the first target transmission scheme is the fourth transmission scheme.

The above embodiments list various rules for determining that the first target transmission scheme is the first to fourth transmission schemes. It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, all of the above rules may be applied simultaneously, or only some of the above rules may be applied. Furthermore, based on the above rules, one skilled in the art can also determine to use other rules for determining the first target transmission scheme.

Optionally, any or all of the traffic demand information and the priority information of the uplink control channel may be indicated to the communication device by the network device. The information not indicated to the communication device by the network device may be pre-set. Alternatively, the traffic demand information and the priority information of the uplink control channel may both be preset.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the network device may indicate the service requirement information of the uplink control channel and the priority information in a display manner. In other embodiments, the network device may indicate the traffic demand information of the uplink control channel and the priority information in an implicit manner. For example, if the network device sends a compressed downlink grant (compact downlink grant) to the communication device, the information carried by the uplink control channel is not allowed to be delayed; if the network device sends a normal downlink grant (normal downlink grant) to the communication device, the information carried by the uplink control channel is allowed to be transmitted with a delay of 1 timeslot.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the traffic demand information of the uplink control channel may be a traffic type. The service types include Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra-high-reliability Low Latency Communication (URLLC), and massive machine-Type Communication (mMTC). Optionally, in some embodiments, if the service type is URLLC, the information carried by the uplink control channel is not allowed to be sent with a delay. If the service type is eMBB or mMTC, the information carried by the uplink control channel is allowed to be sent. Thus, it is possible to determine whether the information carried by the uplink control channel allows delayed transmission by determining the traffic type.

Further, the communication device may also determine the number of time slots for which to allow for delayed transmission based on the traffic type. For example, if the service type is eMBB, the number of timeslots allowed to be transmitted with delay is 1; if the traffic type is mtc, the number of slots allowed to delay transmission is 2. The number of time slots for which the transmission is allowed to be delayed may be predetermined or may be indicated to the communication device by the network device.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the traffic requirement information of the uplink control channel may be the number of time slots allowed to delay transmission. For example, if the information carried by the uplink control channel does not allow the delayed transmission, the value of the number of slots for which the delayed transmission is allowed is 0; if the information carried by the uplink control channel allows the delayed transmission for T times, the value of the number of time slots allowing the delayed transmission is T, where T is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. In this way, it can be determined whether the information carried by the uplink control channel allows delayed transmission and the number of slots for which delayed transmission is allowed, directly according to the traffic demand information of the uplink control channel.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the priority information may be a specific level including the first priority and a specific level including the second priority. In this way, the first priority and the second priority may be compared directly according to the priority information.

Optionally, in other embodiments, the priority information may be information capable of indicating the first priority and the second priority. For example, the priority information may be a Block Error Rate (BLER) of the first uplink information and a Block Error Rate of the second uplink information. Thus, the first priority and the second priority may be compared by comparing the block error rate of the first uplink information (hereinafter, referred to as BLER1) with the block error rate of the second uplink information (hereinafter, referred to as BLER 2).

For example, if BLER1 is equal to BLER2, then the first priority is equal to the second priority; the second priority is greater than the first priority if BLER1 is less than BLER 2; if BLER1 is greater than BLER2, the first priority is greater than the second priority.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the priority information may further include a first preset value and a second preset value. Thus, the first priority and the second priority may be compared by comparing BLER1, BLER2, the first preset value, and the second and setting.

For example, if BLER1/BLER2 is less than the first preset value, the first priority is greater than the second priority; if BLER2/BLER1 is less than the second preset value, the first priority is less than the second priority; otherwise, the first priority is equal to the second priority.

Optionally, in some embodiments, all or part of the priority information may be indicated by the network device. Accordingly, all or part of the priority information may be preset. For example, BLER1 and BLER2 may be indicated by the network equipment, and the first preset value and the second preset value may be preset. As another example, BLER1, BLER2, the first preset value, and the second preset value may all be indicated by the network device.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the first uplink Channel Information is a Periodic Channel state Information (P-CSI) report or a Semi-persistent Channel state Information (S-CSI) report. In this case, it may be determined that a first slot in the set of available slots is the first time domain resource (i.e., a slot to which at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs), and a last slot in the set of available slots is a last slot in the second time domain resource.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the first uplink Channel information is hybrid automatic repeat Request (HARQ) feedback information or an Aperiodic Channel state (a-CSI) report, and a time of generating the first uplink information is not later than a starting time of the second time domain resource. In this case, it may be determined that a first timeslot in the available timeslot set is the first time domain resource (i.e., a timeslot to which at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs), and a last timeslot in the available timeslot set is an mth timeslot after the first time domain resource, where M is a maximum number of timeslots for which the first uplink information is allowed to be delayed, and M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the first uplink information is the HARQ feedback information or an a-CSI report, and a time of generating the first uplink information is later than a starting time of the second time domain resource. In this case, it may be determined that a first slot in the available slot set is the first time domain resource (i.e., the slot described by the at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource), and a last slot in the available slot set is an mth slot after the first time domain resource.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the communication device may determine the set of available timeslots according to a type of the uplink information and a time when the first uplink information is generated. Specifically, when it is determined that the first uplink channel information is a P-CSI report or an S-CSI report, it may be determined that a first timeslot in the available timeslot set is the first time domain resource (i.e., a timeslot to which at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs), and a last timeslot of the available timeslot is a last timeslot in the second time domain resource; in a case that it is determined that the first uplink channel information is HARQ feedback information or an a-CSI report and a time at which the first uplink information is generated is not later than a starting time of the second time domain resource, it may be determined that a first timeslot in the available timeslot set is the first time domain resource (i.e., a timeslot to which at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs), and a last timeslot in the available timeslot set is an mth timeslot after the first time domain resource, where M is a maximum number of timeslots during which the first uplink information is allowed to be delayed, and M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1; in a case that it is determined that the first uplink information is the HARQ feedback information or an a-CSI report and a time at which the first uplink information is generated is later than a starting time of the second time domain resource, it may be determined that a first slot in the available slot set is the first time domain resource (i.e., a slot described by at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource), and a last slot in the available slot set is an mth slot after the first time domain resource.

For example, it is assumed that the first uplink information and the second uplink information are both transmitted in slot n, and the start symbol of the first uplink information is S1, and the start symbol of the second uplink information is S2. And after the terminal equipment generates the first uplink information, the remaining time from the starting symbol of the first uplink information is t symbols. If S₁-t≤S₂And if so, the time for generating the first uplink information is not later than the starting time of the second time domain resource. In other words, if S₁-t≤S₂There is enough time to generate the first uplink information before transmitting the second uplink information. If S₁-t>S₂And if so, generating the first uplink information at a time later than the starting time of the second time domain resource. In other words, if S₁-t>S₂There is not enough time to generate the first uplink information before transmitting the second uplink information.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the first transmission scheme is: and transmitting the first uplink information and the second uplink information through the uplink shared channel.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the second transmission scheme is: determining whether to transmit the first uplink information using a first time slot, wherein the first time slot is a time slot next to a time slot to which at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs. Thus, if the first uplink information is not ready to be transmitted in conjunction with the second uplink information, the first uplink information may be delayed by one slot. In this way, the first uplink information can be successfully transmitted with a certain probability and the first uplink information or the second uplink information does not need to be punctured.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the third transmission scheme is: and puncturing information of the second uplink information which is overlapped with at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource in a time slot to which the at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs. Although part of the information of the second uplink information is punctured, part of the information is successfully transmitted. This may reduce the information that needs to be retransmitted.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the fourth transmission scheme is: and puncturing information of the first uplink information which is overlapped with at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource in a time slot to which the at least one symbol included in the first time domain resource belongs. Although part of the information of the first uplink information is punctured, part of the information is successfully transmitted. This may reduce the information that needs to be retransmitted.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the fifth transmission scheme is: and receiving information carried by the first available time slot in the first uplink information and the second uplink information which are sent by the terminal equipment through the uplink shared channel in the first available time slot.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the sixth transmission scheme is: and receiving information carried by all available time slots in the first uplink information and the second uplink information which are sent by the terminal equipment through the uplink shared channel in all available time slots.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the seventh transmission scheme is: and under the condition that the second uplink information includes at least one piece of non-self-decoding redundancy version information, receiving the first uplink information and the first piece of non-self-decoding redundancy version information sent by the terminal equipment through the uplink shared channel at a time slot carrying the first piece of non-self-decoding redundancy version information in the at least one piece of non-self-decoding redundancy version information, and under the condition that the second uplink information only includes at least one piece of self-decoding redundancy version information, receiving the first uplink information and the first piece of self-decoding redundancy version information sent by the terminal equipment through the uplink shared channel at a time slot carrying the first piece of self-decoding redundancy version information in the at least one piece of self-decoding redundancy version information. Thus, the information carried by the uplink shared channel of the self-decoding redundancy version can be avoided. And reducing the influence of the joint transmission of the first uplink information and the second uplink information on the transmission of the second uplink information.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the eighth transmission scheme is: and in the case that the second uplink information includes at least one piece of non-self-decoded redundancy version information, receiving the first uplink information and the each piece of non-self-decoded redundancy version information sent by the terminal device through the uplink shared channel at each time slot of each piece of non-self-decoded redundancy version information in the at least one piece of non-self-decoded redundancy version information, and in the case that only at least one piece of self-decoded redundancy version information is included in the second uplink information, receiving the first uplink information and the each piece of redundancy version information sent by the terminal device through the uplink shared channel at each time slot of each piece of self-decoded redundancy version information in the at least one piece of self-decoded redundancy version information. Thus, the information carried by the uplink shared channel of the self-decoding redundancy version can be avoided. And reducing the influence of the joint transmission of the first uplink information and the second uplink information on the transmission of the second uplink information.

According to actual requirements, the specific contents of the first transmission scheme to the eighth transmission scheme may also be adjusted. This is not to be taken as an example. Further, it is understood that the selection range of the first target transmission scheme may be all of the above-described first to eighth transmission schemes. The selection range of the first target transmission scheme may also be a part of the transmission schemes in the first to eighth transmission schemes. The first target transmission scheme may also be selected from a part of the first to eighth transmission schemes and other transmission schemes not listed above.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the determining whether to use the first timeslot to transmit the first uplink information includes: determining whether third uplink information exists in the first time slot, wherein the third uplink information is carried by the uplink shared channel; if so (i.e., the first uplink information is transmitted using the first time slot), determining a starting symbol of the first time domain resource to be 0 and determining a second target transmission scheme to be one of the first transmission scheme, the second transmission scheme, the third transmission scheme, and the fourth transmission scheme; determining whether the first uplink information is allowed to be transmitted in a delayed manner (i.e., not using the first time slot) and whether the first uplink information is allowed to be transmitted in a delayed manner; if the determination result is negative (i.e. the first uplink information is not sent using the first timeslot) and the first uplink information is still allowed to be sent in a delayed manner, determining whether fourth uplink information exists in a second timeslot, where the fourth uplink information is carried by the uplink shared channel, and the second timeslot is a next timeslot of the first timeslot.

The specific determination process for determining that the second target transmission scheme is one of the first transmission scheme, the second transmission scheme, the third transmission scheme and the fourth transmission scheme is the same as the specific process for determining that the first target transmission scheme is one of the first transmission scheme, the second transmission scheme, the third transmission scheme and the fourth transmission scheme, and thus, detailed description is not required here.

If the first uplink information still allows delayed transmission and there is information carried by the uplink shared channel in the next slot, it may be continued to determine one of the first to fourth transmission schemes as a target transmission scheme in the next slot. The specific determination process is the same as the specific process of determining that the first target transmission scheme is one of the first transmission scheme, the second transmission scheme, the third transmission scheme, and the fourth transmission scheme. And need not be described in detail herein.

In addition, each time a decision is made, the number of time slots in which the first uplink information is allowed to be transmitted with a delay is reduced by 1.

Optionally, in some embodiments, in a case that the first uplink information is sent to the network device through a plurality of common timeslots, each common timeslot in the plurality of common timeslots carries the first uplink information, where the common timeslot is a timeslot that carries both the first uplink information and the second uplink information.

The number of bits of the first uplink information carried by each common timeslot is the same. Optionally, in some embodiments, the number of bits of the first uplink carried by each of the K common time slots is 1/K of the number of bits of the first uplink information carried by one common time slot, where K is a positive integer greater than 1. For example, it is assumed that the first uplink information includes 2 bits. The first uplink information may be copied into 8 bits. That is, a total of 4 pieces of first uplink information are included. If the number of the common timeslots is 1, the common timeslot may carry the 8-bit first uplink information. If the number of the common timeslots is 2, each common timeslot may include 4 bits of the first uplink information. In other words, each common timeslot may carry two of the first uplink information. Optionally, in some embodiments, the number of bits of the first uplink carried by each of the K common time slots is the same as the number of bits of the first uplink information carried by one common time slot. For example, it is assumed that the first uplink information includes 2 bits. The first uplink information may be copied into 8 bits. That is, a total of 4 pieces of first uplink information are included. If the number of the common timeslots is 1, the common timeslot may carry the 8-bit first uplink information. If the number of the common time slots is 2, each common time slot may include 8 bits of first uplink information. In other words, each common timeslot may carry two of the first uplink information.

The technical solution of the present application will be described with reference to specific embodiments.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a method for transmitting information according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 2, the communication apparatus determines to start transmitting uplink information 1 at symbol 1 of the nth slot. The uplink information 1 is carried by an uplink control channel. The uplink information 1 is HARQ feedback information. The uplink information 1 lasts for 5 symbols. The first time length of the uplink information 1 is 0, and the second time length of the uplink information 1 is 1 timeslot.

The communication apparatus determines to start transmitting uplink information 2 at symbol 2 of the nth slot. The uplink information 2 is carried by an uplink shared channel. The communication device determines that the uplink information 2 is transmitted only in the nth slot. The uplink information 2 lasts for 8 symbols.

The communication device determines to start transmitting uplink information 3 at symbol 7 of the nth slot. The uplink information 3 is carried by an uplink control channel. The uplink information 3 is a-CSI feedback information. The first time duration of the uplink information 3 is 2 symbols, and the second time duration of the uplink information 3 is 0. The uplink information 3 lasts for 2 symbols.

As shown in fig. 2, the time domain resource of the uplink information 1 partially overlaps the time domain resource of the uplink information 2, and the time domain resource of the uplink information 2 completely overlaps the time domain resource of the uplink information 3.

The second time domain resource may be composed of N sub-time domain resources, where the N sub-time domain resources belong to N time slots, respectively, each of the N sub-time domain resources belongs to all time domain resources of the second time domain resource in 1 time slot, and N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. It can be seen that in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the second time domain resource includes 1 sub-time domain resource, which is symbol 2 to symbol 9 in the nth slot.

The available sub-time domain resource belongs to the N sub-time domain resources (hereinafter referred to as rule 1), and the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource is not earlier than the difference between the starting time of the first time domain resource and the first time length (hereinafter referred to as rule 2), and the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource is not later than the sum of the ending time of the first time domain resource and the second time length (hereinafter referred to as rule 3)

For uplink information 1 and uplink information 2, according to rule 1, symbol 2 of the nth slot at the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource can be determined. According to rule 2, it can be determined that the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource is not earlier than symbol 1 of the nth slot. According to rule 3, it can be determined that the starting time of the available time domain resource is not later than the symbol 6 of the (n + 1) th slot. According to the results determined by the above three rules, it can be determined that the available sub-time domain resources included in the available sub-time domain resource set are 1 sub-time domain resource included in the second time domain resource. Thus, the value of M is equal to 1. In this case, the target transmission scheme may be that the target transmission scheme is the first transmission scheme, that is, the first uplink information is transmitted on part or all of the available sub-time domain resources. Since only one available sub-time domain is included in the set of available sub-time domains, the uplink information 1 may be transmitted on the available sub-time domain resource and the uplink information 2 may be transmitted on the second time domain resource (i.e., symbol 2 to symbol 9 of the nth slot).

For uplink information 2 and uplink information 3, according to rule 1, symbol 2 of the nth slot at the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource can be determined. According to rule 2, it can be determined that the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource is not earlier than symbol 5, which is the nth slot. According to rule 3, it can be determined that the starting time of the available time domain resource is not later than the symbol 8 of the nth slot. According to the results of the three rules, it can be determined that the number of available sub-time domains included in the set of available sub-time domain resources is 0. That is, the value of M is equal to 0. In this case, the target transmission scheme may be at least one of the second transmission scheme, the third transmission scheme, the fourth transmission scheme, and the fifth transmission scheme.

Therefore, it may be determined that the target transmission scheme is at least one of the second transmission scheme, the third transmission scheme, the fourth transmission scheme and the fifth transmission scheme according to at least one of capability information of a terminal device, capability information of a network device and priority information, where the capability information of the terminal device is whether the terminal device supports simultaneous transmission of uplink information on multiple channels, the capability information of the network device is whether the network device supports simultaneous reception of uplink information transmitted by the same terminal device on multiple channels, and the priority information is used for indicating a priority of the first uplink information and a priority of the second uplink information.

If the terminal device supports sending uplink information on multiple channels simultaneously, and/or the network device supports receiving uplink information sent by the same terminal device on multiple channels simultaneously, the target transmission scheme is the second transmission scheme, that is, the first uplink information is transmitted on the first time domain resource, and the second uplink information is transmitted on the second time domain resource. In other words, the uplink information 3 may be transmitted at the symbol 7 and the symbol 8 of the nth slot, and the uplink information 2 may be transmitted at the symbol 2 to the symbol 9 of the nth slot.

Assuming that the priority of the first uplink information is equal to the priority of the second uplink information, the target transmission scheme is the third transmission scheme, that is, the first uplink information is transmitted on the third time domain resource, the third time domain resource is the first time domain resource which can be used for transmitting the first uplink information from the end time of the second time domain resource to the target time, where the target time is the sum of the end time of the first time domain resource and the second time length. Since the second time length of the uplink information 3 is 0. Therefore, the target time is the ending time of the first time domain resource. In this case, there is no time domain resource that can be used for transmitting the uplink information 3 between the second time domain resource ending time and the target time. In this case, the uplink information 2 may be transmitted in the symbols 2 to 9 of the nth slot without transmitting the uplink information 3.

Assuming that the priority of the first uplink information is higher than the priority of the second uplink information, the target transmission scheme is the fourth transmission scheme, namely, the first uplink information is transmitted on the first time domain resource, and the information of the second uplink information on the overlapped time domain resource or the overlapped time frequency resource is punched, transmitting the first uplink information on the time domain resources of the second time domain resource except the overlapped time domain resource, or, transmitting the first uplink information on the time frequency resources of the second time frequency resource except the overlapped time frequency resource, the overlapping time domain resource is an overlapping time domain resource of the first time domain resource and the second time domain resource, the overlapping time frequency resource is an overlapping time frequency domain resource in the first time frequency resource and the second time frequency resource, the first time-frequency resource is a time-frequency resource used for transmitting the first uplink information, and the second time-frequency resource is a time-frequency resource used for transmitting the second uplink information.

As shown in fig. 2, since the uplink information 2 and the uplink information 3 are overlapped only in the time domain resource, information of the uplink information 2 in the overlapped time domain resource may be punctured. As shown in fig. 2, when there is no uplink information 3, all of the symbols 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are used for transmitting the uplink information 2. In the absence of the uplink information 2, both symbol 7 and symbol 8 are used to transmit the uplink information 3. According to the fourth transmission scheme, the information of the uplink information 2 is not transmitted in the symbol 7 and the symbol 8, the symbol 7 and the symbol 8 are used for transmitting the uplink information 3, and the uplink information 2 originally carried by the symbol 7 and the symbol 8 is not transmitted any more. Uplink information 2 may be transmitted at symbols 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9.

Assuming that the priority of the first uplink information is less than the priority of the second uplink information, the target transmission scheme is the fifth transmission scheme, that is, the first uplink information is transmitted on a fourth time domain resource or a fourth time frequency resource, and the information of the first uplink information on the overlapped time domain resource or the overlapped time frequency resource is punctured, and the second uplink information is transmitted on the second time domain resource, where the fourth time domain resource is a time domain resource excluding the overlapped time domain resource from the first time domain resource, and the fourth time frequency resource is a time frequency resource excluding the overlapped time frequency resource from the first time frequency resource.

As shown in fig. 2, since the uplink information 2 and the uplink information 3 are overlapped only in the time domain resource, information of the uplink information 2 in the overlapped time domain resource may be punctured. As shown in fig. 2, when there is no uplink information 3, all of the symbols 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are used for transmitting the uplink information 2. In the absence of the uplink information 2, both symbol 7 and symbol 8 are used to transmit the uplink information 3. According to the fifth transmission scheme, the uplink information 3 is not transmitted at the symbol 7 and the symbol 8, and the symbol 7 and the symbol 8 are used to transmit the uplink information 2. Uplink information 2 may be transmitted at symbols 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 89, while uplink information 1 is not transmitted.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of another method for transmitting information according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 3, the communication apparatus determines to start transmitting uplink information 1 at symbol 1 of the nth slot. The uplink information 1 is carried by an uplink control channel. The uplink information 1 is HARQ feedback information. The uplink information 1 lasts for 5 symbols. The first time length of the uplink information 1 is 0, and the second time length of the uplink information 1 is 1 timeslot.

The communication apparatus determines to start transmitting uplink information 2 at symbol 2 of the nth slot. The uplink information 2 is carried by an uplink shared channel. The communication device determines that the uplink information 2 is transmitted only in the nth slot. The uplink information 2 lasts for 8 symbols.

The communication device determines to start transmitting uplink information 3 at symbol 7 of the nth slot. The uplink information 3 is carried by an uplink control channel. The uplink information 3 is HARQ feedback information. The first time length of the uplink information 3 is 0, and the second time length of the uplink information 3 is 1 timeslot. The uplink information 3 lasts for 2 symbols.

The specific process of the communication device determining the transmission schemes for transmitting the uplink information 1 and the uplink information 2 is similar to the embodiment shown in fig. 2, and thus, it is not necessary to describe here again.

For uplink information 2 and uplink information 3, according to rule 1, symbol 2 of the nth slot at the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource can be determined. According to rule 2, it can be determined that the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource is not earlier than symbol 5, which is the nth slot. According to rule 3, it can be determined that the starting time of the available time domain resource is not later than the symbol 8 of the nth slot. According to the results of the three rules, it can be determined that the number of available sub-time domains included in the set of available sub-time domain resources is 0. That is, the value of M is equal to 0. In this case, the target transmission scheme may be at least one of the second transmission scheme, the third transmission scheme, the fourth transmission scheme, and the fifth transmission scheme.

The specific implementation manner of using the second transmission scheme, the fourth transmission scheme, and the fifth transmission scheme is the same as the embodiment shown in fig. 2, and thus, no further description is needed here.

As shown in fig. 3, symbol 3 to symbol 10 in slot n +1 are uplink resource 1, and uplink resource 1 can be used for transmitting uplink information 3. Assuming that the priority of the first uplink information is equal to the priority of the second uplink information, the target transmission scheme is the third transmission scheme, that is, the first uplink information is transmitted on the third time domain resource, the third time domain resource is the first time domain resource which can be used for transmitting the first uplink information from the end time of the second time domain resource to the target time, where the target time is the sum of the end time of the first time domain resource and the second time length. Since the second time length of the uplink information 3 is 1 slot. Therefore, symbol 8 of slot n +1 at the target time. In this case, there is a time domain resource that can be used for transmitting the uplink information 3 between the end time of the second time domain resource and the target time. In this case, the uplink information 3 may be transmitted in the time domain resources between the symbol 3 to the symbol 8 of the (n + 1) th slot, and the uplink information 2 may be transmitted in the symbol 2 to the symbol 9 of the nth slot.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of another method for transmitting information according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 4, the communication apparatus determines to transmit uplink information 1 in the n-th to n + 3-th slots. The initial symbol position in each slot is symbol 3 and the duration is 8 symbols. The first time length of the uplink information 1 is 0, and the second time length of the uplink information 1 is 0 time slots. The uplink information 1 is carried by an uplink control channel. The uplink information 1 is HARQ feedback information.

The communication apparatus determines to start transmitting uplink information 2 at symbol 2 of the nth slot. The uplink information 2 lasts for 8 symbols. The uplink information 2 is carried by an uplink shared channel.

The communication apparatus determines to start transmitting uplink information 3 at symbol 3 of the (n + 2) th slot. The uplink information 3 lasts for 10 symbols. The uplink information 2 is carried by an uplink shared channel.

As mentioned above, the information carried by the uplink control channel can be jointly transmitted in multiple timeslots/mini-timeslots. In this case, the uplink information transmitted on the uplink control channel in each slot/mini-slot can be regarded as a single first uplink information. Uplink information transmitted on uplink control channels of different timeslots/mini-slots may be processed in the same manner. Therefore, the uplink information 1 can be considered as four uplink information. Therefore, it can be considered that the uplink information 1 transmitted in the nth slot is uplink information 1a, the uplink information 1 transmitted in the (n + 1) th slot is uplink information 1b, the uplink information 1 transmitted in the (n + 2) th slot is uplink information 1c, and the uplink information 1 transmitted in the (n + 3) th slot is uplink information 1 d. As shown in fig. 4, the time domain resource of the uplink information 1a overlaps with the time domain resource of the uplink information 2, and the time domain resource of the uplink information 1c overlaps with the time domain resource of the uplink information 3. Therefore, it is only necessary to consider how to determine the transmission schemes for transmitting the uplink information 1a and the uplink information 2, and the transmission schemes for transmitting the uplink information 1c and the uplink information 3. The uplink information 1b and the uplink information 1d can be directly transmitted.

For the uplink information 1a and the uplink information 2, according to rule 1, the symbol 2 with the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource being the nth time slot may be determined. According to rule 2, it can be determined that the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource is not earlier than symbol 4 of the nth slot. According to rule 3, it can be determined that the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource is not later than the symbol 11 of the nth slot. According to the results of the three rules, it can be determined that the number of available sub-time domains included in the set of available sub-time domain resources is 0. That is, the value of M is equal to 0. In this case, the target transmission scheme may be at least one of the second transmission scheme, the third transmission scheme, the fourth transmission scheme, and the fifth transmission scheme.

The manner of transmitting the uplink information 1a and the uplink information 2 is similar to the manner of transmitting the uplink information 2 and the uplink information 3 in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, and thus, the details are not repeated here.

For the uplink information 1c and the uplink information 3, according to rule 1, a symbol 3 with the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource being the (n + 2) th time slot may be determined. According to rule 2, it can be determined that the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource is not earlier than symbol 3 of the (n + 2) th slot. According to rule 3, it can be determined that the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource is not later than the symbol 10 of the (n + 2) th slot. In the embodiment shown in fig. 4, the time domain resource for transmitting uplink information 3 includes 1 sub-time domain resource, which is from symbol 3 to symbol 12 in the (n + 2) th sub-time domain resource. According to the results determined by the three rules, it can be determined that the available sub-time domain resources included in the available sub-time domain resource set include 1 sub-time domain resource as the time domain resource for transmitting the uplink information 3. Thus, the value of M is equal to 1. In this case, the target transmission scheme may be that the target transmission scheme is the first transmission scheme, that is, the first uplink information is transmitted on part or all of the available sub-time domain resources. Since only one available sub-time domain is included in the set of available sub-time domains, the uplink information 1c may be transmitted on the available sub-time domain resource and the uplink information 2 may be transmitted on the time domain resource for transmitting the uplink information 3 (i.e., the symbol 3 to the symbol 12 in the n +2 th time domain).

Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of another method for transmitting information according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 5, the communication apparatus determines to transmit uplink information 1 at symbol 6 of the (n + 1) th slot. The uplink information 1 is carried by an uplink control channel. The uplink information 1 is a P-CSI report. The uplink information 1 lasts for 3 symbols. The first and second lengths of time for P-CSI and S-CSI reports may be large, e.g., may be multiple time slots. Therefore, in the following embodiment, the first time length of the uplink information 1 is 2 slots, and the second time length of the uplink information 2 is 3 slots.

The communication device determines to start transmitting uplink information 2 at symbol 7 of the nth slot. The uplink information 2 is carried by an uplink control channel. The uplink information 2 is HARQ feedback information. The first time length of the uplink information 2 is 0, and the second time length of the uplink information 2 is 1 timeslot. The uplink information 2 lasts for 2 symbols.

The communication apparatus determines to transmit uplink information 3 in the n-th to n + 3-th slots. The initial symbol position in each time slot is symbol 1, the duration length is 10 symbols, and the uplink information 3 is carried by the uplink shared channel.

The communication device determines to transmit uplink information 4 at symbol 1 of the (n + 1) th slot. The uplink information 4 is carried by an uplink control channel. The uplink information 4 is HARQ feedback information. The first time length of the uplink information 4 is 0, and the second time length of the uplink information 4 is 2 timeslots. The uplink information 4 lasts for 4 symbols.

The time domain resource for transmitting the uplink information 3 may be composed of 4 sub-time domain resources, where the N sub-time domain resources respectively belong to 4 time slots, that is, an nth time slot, an N +1 th time slot, an N +2 th time slot, and an N +3 th time slot. Each of the 4 sub-time domain resources includes 10 symbols. Specifically, the 1 st sub time domain resource of the 4 sub time domain resources includes symbols 1 to 10 of the nth slot, the 2 nd sub time domain resource of the 4 sub time domain resources includes symbols 1 to 10 of the n +1 th slot, the 3 rd sub time domain resource of the 4 sub time domain resources includes symbols 1 to 10 of the n +2 th slot, and the 4 th sub time domain resource of the 4 sub time domain resources includes symbols 1 to 10 of the n +3 th slot.

For the uplink information 1 and the uplink information 3, according to rule 1, it may be determined that the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource is symbol 1 of the nth slot, symbol 1 of the (n + 1) th slot, symbol 1 of the (n + 2) th slot, or symbol 1 of the (n + 3) th slot. According to rule 2, it can be determined that the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource is not earlier than the symbol 6 of the (n-1) th slot. According to rule 3, it can be determined that the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource is not later than the symbol 8 of the (n + 4) th slot. According to the results determined by the above three rules, it can be determined that the available set of sub-time domain resources includes 4 available sub-time domain resources, i.e. the 1 st sub-time domain resource to the 4 th sub-time domain resource. That is, M has a value of 4. In this case, the target transmission scheme may be at least one of the sixth transmission scheme and the seventh transmission scheme.

Assuming that the terminal device determines that the target transmission scheme is the sixth transmission scheme, that is, the first uplink information is transmitted on a specific available sub-time domain resource in the set of available sub-time domain resources and the second uplink information is transmitted on the second time domain resource, the terminal device may transmit the uplink information 1 on the specific available sub-time domain resource and transmit the uplink information 3 on the second time domain resource (i.e., symbol 1 to symbol 10 of the nth slot, symbol 1 to symbol 10 of the n +1 slot, symbol 1 to symbol 10 of the n +2 slot, and symbol 1 to symbol 10 of the n +3 slot). As mentioned above, the specific available sub-time domain resource may be the first available sub-time domain resource in the set of available sub-time domain resources, or the first available sub-time domain resource carrying the non-self-decodable redundancy version.

Assuming that the terminal device determines that the target transmission scheme is the seventh transmission scheme, i.e., transmits the first uplink information on at least one of the available sub-time domain resources in the set of available sub-time domain resources and transmits the second uplink information on the second time domain resource, the terminal device may transmit the uplink information 1 on the at least one of the available sub-time domain resources and transmit the uplink information 3 on the second time domain resources (i.e., symbol 1 to symbol 10 of the nth slot, symbol 1 to symbol 10 of the n +1 slot, symbol 1 to symbol 10 of the n +2 slot, and symbol 1 to symbol 10 of the n +3 slot). As mentioned above, the at least one available sub-time domain resource is all available sub-time domain resources in the set of available sub-time domain resources, or all available sub-time domain resources in the set of available sub-time domain resources carrying non-self-decoding redundancy versions.

For example, it is assumed that Redundancy Version (RV) versions at nth, n +1, n +2, and n +3 slots are RV0, RV2, RV3, and RV1, respectively, where RV0 and RV3 are self-decodable RV versions, and RV2 and RV1 are non-self-decodable RV versions. And in the case that the target transmission scheme is the seventh transmission scheme and all the available sub-time domain resources carrying non-self-decoding redundancy versions in the available sub-time domain resource set are available, sending the uplink information 1 to the network device in the (n + 1) th time slot and the (n + 3) th time slot.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the number of bits used for carrying uplink information 1 in the (n + 1) th time slot is the same as the number of bits used for carrying uplink information 1 in the (n + 3) th time slot. In addition, the number of bits for carrying uplink information 1 in the (n + 1) th slot is 1/2, which is the number of bits for mapping the uplink information 1 to a slot for transmitting uplink information 3. For example, the number of bits used for carrying the uplink information 1 in the (n + 1) th timeslot is 10, and the number of bits used for carrying the uplink information 1 in the (n + 3) th timeslot is also 10. Assume that RV1 is also a version of the RV that is capable of self-decoding. In this case, only the (n + 1) th slot can carry the uplink information 1. In this case, the number of bits used to carry the uplink information 1 in the (n + 1) th timeslot is 20. It can be understood that, due to the increase of the number of timeslots for carrying uplink information 1, the number of bits for carrying uplink information 3 in the (n + 1) th timeslot and the (n + 3) th timeslot is correspondingly decreased.

For the uplink information 2 and the uplink information 3, according to rule 1, it may be determined that the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource is symbol 1 of the nth slot, symbol 1 of the (n + 1) th slot, symbol 1 of the (n + 2) th slot, or symbol 1 of the (n + 3) th slot. According to rule 2, it can be determined that the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource is not earlier than the symbol 7 of the nth slot. According to rule 3, it can be determined that the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource is not later than the symbol 8 of the (n + 1) th slot. According to the results determined by the above three rules, it can be determined that the available set of sub-time domain resources includes 1 available sub-time domain resource, i.e. the 2 nd sub-time domain resource. That is, M has a value of 1. In this case, the target transmission scheme may be that the target transmission scheme is the first transmission scheme, that is, the first uplink information is transmitted on part or all of the available sub-time domain resources. Since only one available sub-time domain is included in the available sub-time domain set, the uplink information 2 may be transmitted on the available sub-time domain resource and the uplink information 2 may be transmitted on the 2 nd sub-time domain resource (i.e., the symbol 1 to the symbol 10 of the (n + 1) th slot).

For the uplink information 3 and the uplink information 4, according to rule 1, it may be determined that the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource is symbol 1 of the nth slot, symbol 1 of the (n + 1) th slot, symbol 1 of the (n + 2) th slot, or symbol 1 of the (n + 3) th slot. According to rule 2, it can be determined that the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource is not earlier than symbol 1 of the (n + 1) th slot. According to rule 3, it can be determined that the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource is not later than symbol 4 of the (n + 3) th slot. According to the results determined by the above three rules, it may be determined that the available set of sub-time domain resources includes three available sub-time domain resources, which are respectively the 2 nd sub-time domain resource, the 3 rd sub-time domain resource, and the 4 th sub-time domain resource. That is, the value of M is a positive integer greater than 1. In this case, the target transmission scheme may be at least one of the sixth transmission scheme and the seventh transmission scheme.

Assuming that the terminal device determines that the target transmission scheme is the sixth transmission scheme, that is, the first uplink information is transmitted on a specific available sub-time domain resource in the set of available sub-time domain resources and the second uplink information is transmitted on the second time domain resource, the terminal device may transmit the uplink information 4 on the specific available sub-time domain resource and transmit the uplink information 3 on the second time domain resource (i.e., symbol 1 to symbol 10 of the n +1 th slot, symbol 1 to symbol 10 of the n +2 th slot and symbol 1 to symbol 10 of the n +3 th slot). As mentioned above, the specific available sub-time domain resource may be the first available sub-time domain resource in the set of available sub-time domain resources, or the first available sub-time domain resource carrying the non-self-decodable redundancy version.

Assuming that the terminal device determines that the target transmission scheme is the seventh transmission scheme, i.e., transmits the first uplink information on at least one of the available sub-time domain resources in the set of available sub-time domain resources and transmits the second uplink information on the second time domain resource, the terminal device may transmit the uplink information 4 on the at least one of the available sub-time domain resources and transmit the uplink information 3 on the second time domain resources (i.e., symbol 1 to symbol 10 of the n +1 th slot, symbol 1 to symbol 10 of the n +2 th slot and symbol 1 to symbol 10 of the n +3 th slot). As mentioned above, the at least one available sub-time domain resource is all available sub-time domain resources in the set of available sub-time domain resources, or all available sub-time domain resources in the set of available sub-time domain resources carrying non-self-decoding redundancy versions.

For example, it is assumed that RV versions at the n +1 th, n +2 th and n +3 th slots are RV2, RV3 and RV1, respectively, where RV3 is a self-decodable RV version and RV2 and RV1 are non-self-decodable RV versions. If the target transmission scheme is the seventh transmission scheme and all the available sub-time domain resources carrying non-self-decoding redundancy versions in the set of available sub-time domain resources are available, the uplink information 4 may be sent to the network device in the (n + 1) th time slot and the (n + 3) th time slot.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the number of bits used for carrying the uplink information 4 in the (n + 1) th time slot is the same as the number of bits used for carrying the uplink information 4 in the (n + 3) th time slot. In addition, the number of bits used for carrying uplink information 4 in the (n + 1) th slot is 1/2, which is the number of bits used for mapping the uplink information 4 to a slot for transmitting uplink information 3. For example, the number of bits used for carrying the uplink information 4 in the (n + 1) th timeslot is 10, and the number of bits used for carrying the uplink information 4 in the (n + 3) th timeslot is also 10. Assume that RV1 is also a version of the RV that is capable of self-decoding. In this case, only the (n + 1) th slot can carry the uplink information 4. In this case, the number of bits used to carry the uplink information 4 in the (n + 1) th timeslot is 20. It can be understood that, due to the addition of the bits for carrying the uplink information 4, the number of bits for carrying the uplink information 3 in the (n + 1) th time slot and the (n + 3) th time slot is correspondingly reduced.

Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of another method for transmitting information according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 6, the communication device determines to start transmitting uplink information 1 at symbol 2 of the nth slot, where the uplink information 1 is carried by the uplink control channel. The uplink information 1 is HARQ feedback information. The first time length of the uplink information 1 is 0, and the second time length of the uplink information 1 is 1 timeslot. The uplink information 1 lasts for 4 symbols.

The communication apparatus determines to start transmitting uplink information 2 at symbol 1 of the nth slot. The uplink information 2 occupies four mini-slots. The uplink information 2 is carried by an uplink shared channel. Each mini-slot includes 3 symbols.

The time domain resource for transmitting the uplink information 2 may be composed of 4 sub-time domain resources, where the 4 sub-time domain resources respectively belong to 4 mini-slots, and each sub-time domain resource in the 4 sub-time domain resources is all time domain resources belonging to the second time domain resource in 1 mini-slot. It can be seen that in the embodiment shown in fig. 6, the second time domain resource includes 4 sub-time domain resources, and each of the 4 sub-time domain resources includes 3 symbols. Specifically, the 1 st sub time domain resource of the 4 sub time domain resources includes symbols 1 to 3 of the nth slot, the 2 nd sub time domain resource of the 4 sub time domain resources includes symbols 4 to 6 of the nth slot, the 3 rd sub time domain resource of the 4 sub time domain resources includes symbols 7 to 9 of the nth slot, and the 4 sub time domain resources of the 4 sub time domain resources includes symbols 10 to 12 of the nth slot.

For the uplink information 1 and the uplink information 2, according to rule 1, the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource can be determined to be symbol 1 of the nth slot, symbol 4 of the nth slot, symbol 7 of the nth slot, and symbol 10 of the nth slot. According to rule 2, it can be determined that the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource is not earlier than symbol 2 of the nth slot. According to rule 3, it can be determined that the starting time of the available sub-time domain resource is not later than the symbol 5 of the (n + 1) th slot. According to the results determined by the above three rules, it may be determined that the available set of sub-time domain resources includes three available sub-time domain resources, which are respectively the 2 nd sub-time domain resource, the 3 rd sub-time domain resource, and the 4 th sub-time domain resource. That is, the value of M is a positive integer greater than 1. In this case, the target transmission scheme may be at least one of the sixth transmission scheme and the seventh transmission scheme.

Assuming that the terminal device determines that the target transmission scheme is the sixth transmission scheme, that is, the first uplink information is transmitted on a specific available sub-time domain resource in the set of available sub-time domain resources and the second uplink information is transmitted on the second time domain resource, the terminal device may transmit the uplink information 1 on the specific available sub-time domain resource and transmit the uplink information 2 on the second time domain resource (i.e., symbol 1 to symbol 3 of the nth slot, symbol 4 to symbol 6 of the nth slot, symbol 7 to symbol 9 of the nth slot, and symbol 10 to symbol 12 of the nth slot). As mentioned above, the specific available sub-time domain resource may be the first available sub-time domain resource in the set of available sub-time domain resources, or the first available sub-time domain resource carrying the non-self-decodable redundancy version.

Assuming that the terminal device determines that the target transmission scheme is the seventh transmission scheme, i.e., transmits the first uplink information on at least one of the available sub-time domain resources in the set of available sub-time domain resources and transmits the second uplink information on the second time domain resource, the terminal device may transmit the uplink information 1 on the at least one of the available sub-time domain resources and transmit the uplink information 2 on the second time domain resources (i.e., symbol 1 to symbol 3 of the nth slot, symbol 4 to symbol 6 of the nth slot, symbol 7 to symbol 9 of the nth slot, and symbol 10 to symbol 12 of the nth slot). As mentioned above, the at least one available sub-time domain resource is all available sub-time domain resources in the set of available sub-time domain resources, or all available sub-time domain resources in the set of available sub-time domain resources carrying non-self-decoding redundancy versions.

For example, assume that the symbol 1 to the symbol 3 of the nth slot, the symbol 4 to the symbol 6 of the nth slot, the symbol 7 to the symbol 9 of the nth slot, and the Redundancy Version (RV) versions on the symbol 10 to the symbol 23 of the nth slot are RV0, RV2, RV3, and RV1, respectively, where RV0 and RV3 are self-decodable RV versions, and RV2 and RV1 are non-self-decodable RV versions. And when the target transmission scheme is the seventh transmission scheme and all the available sub-time domain resources carrying non-self-decoding redundancy versions in the available sub-time domain resource set are available, sending the uplink information 1 to the network device in the 2 nd sub-time domain resource and the 3 rd sub-time domain resource.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the number of bits used for carrying uplink information 1 in the 2 nd sub time domain resource is the same as the number of bits used for carrying uplink information 1 in the 3 rd sub time domain resource. In addition, the number of bits used for carrying uplink information 1 in the 2 nd sub-time domain resource is 1/2, which is the number of bits used for mapping the uplink information 1 to an uplink resource for transmitting uplink information 2. For example, the number of bits used for carrying the uplink information 1 in the 2 nd sub-time domain resource is 10, and the number of bits used for carrying the uplink information 1 in the 3 rd sub-time domain resource is also 10. Assume that RV1 is also a version of the RV that is capable of self-decoding. In this case, only the 2 nd sub-time domain resource can carry the uplink information 4. In this case, the number of bits used to carry the uplink information 1 in the 2 nd sub-time domain resource is 20. It can be understood that, due to the increase of the bits for carrying the uplink information 1, the number of bits for carrying the uplink information 2 in the 2 nd sub-time domain resource and the 3 rd sub-time domain resource is correspondingly reduced.

Fig. 12 is a schematic flow chart of another method for transmitting information provided according to an embodiment of the present application. The method illustrated in fig. 12 may be performed by a communication device.

1201, determining a first time-frequency resource, where the first time-frequency resource is a time-frequency resource of an uplink control channel, the uplink control channel is used to carry uplink control information to be transmitted, and the first time-frequency resource is in a first time unit.

And 1202, determining a second time-frequency resource, wherein the second time-frequency resource is a time-frequency resource occupied by an uplink data channel, the uplink data channel is used for bearing uplink data to be transmitted, the second time-frequency resource is composed of N sub time-frequency resources, the N sub time-frequency resources are respectively located in N time units, the first time-frequency resource and the second time-frequency resource are overlapped in a time domain, and N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.

1203, transmitting uplink control information and uplink data according to the first time unit.

The embodiment shown in fig. 12 provides a method how to transmit uplink control information and uplink data in the case that time domain resources occupied by an uplink control channel overlap with time domain resources occupied by an uplink data channel.

The time unit referred to in the embodiments of the present application may be a slot, a mini-slot, a subframe, etc. The first time frequency resource is in a first time unit, and the second time frequency resource occupies N time frequency resources. Therefore, if the first time-frequency resource overlaps with the second time-frequency resource in the time domain, the first time unit is one time unit of the N time units.

The first time-frequency resource is located in a time unit, and the time-domain resource of the first time-frequency resource may be one or more symbols in the time unit, or may be all symbols included in the time unit. Each of the N sub time-frequency resources may also be one or more symbols in a time unit, or may also be all symbols in the time unit.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the transmitting uplink control information and uplink data according to the first time unit includes: and transmitting the uplink control information and the uplink data in a first sub-time-frequency resource, wherein the first sub-time-frequency resource is one of the N sub-time-frequency resources, and the number of the time unit in which the first sub-time-frequency resource is located is the same as the number of the first time unit.

Further, the communication device does not transmit the uplink control information on the first time-frequency resource.

Furthermore, the method for determining the modulation code symbol of the uplink control information may be consistent with the prior art, and thus is not described herein again.

For example, assume that the time unit is a time slot, assume that the second time-frequency resource includes 4 time units, which are time slot 1, time slot 2, time slot 3, and time slot 4, respectively. The first time frequency resource and the second time frequency resource are overlapped in time domain. That is, the first time unit may be any one of slot 1 to slot 4. Assume that the first time unit is slot 2. In this case, the communication device may transmit uplink control information and uplink data in the first sub time-frequency resource. The first sub time frequency resource is one of the N sub time frequency resources included in the second time frequency resource, and the time slot in which the first sub time frequency resource is located is the time slot in which the first time frequency resource is located, i.e., time slot 2. The communication device does not transmit the uplink control information on the first time-frequency resource. In other words, in this case, the communication device may simultaneously transmit uplink data and uplink control information using the time-frequency resources occupied by the uplink data channel. In addition, the communication device may still transmit uplink data using the remaining sub time-frequency resources. That is, the communication device may transmit the uplink data originally transmitted on the time-frequency sub-resources by using the time-frequency sub-resources of the N time-frequency sub-resources as the time-frequency sub-resources corresponding to the time slot 1, the time slot 3, and the time slot 4.

The uplink control channel referred to in the embodiment of fig. 12 may be used to carry uplink control information to be transmitted. The uplink data channel referred to in the embodiment of fig. 12 may be used to carry uplink control information to be transmitted. That is, the uplink control information may be carried by the uplink control channel. The uplink data may be carried by an uplink data channel. In some embodiments, however, the uplink control information may also be carried by an uplink data channel. For example, in the above embodiment, the sub time-frequency resource corresponding to the timeslot 2 is used to carry both uplink control information and uplink data.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the transmitting uplink control information and uplink data according to the first time unit includes: and transmitting the uplink control information on a first time-frequency resource, not transmitting the uplink data on a second sub time-frequency resource, and transmitting the uplink data on a sub time-frequency resource except the second sub time-frequency resource in the second time-frequency resource, wherein the second sub time-frequency resource is one of the N sub time-frequency resources, and the number of a time unit where the second sub time-frequency resource is located is the same as the number of the first time unit.

For example, assume that the time unit is a time slot, assume that the second time-frequency resource includes 4 time units, which are time slot 1, time slot 2, time slot 3, and time slot 4, respectively. The first time frequency resource and the second time frequency resource are overlapped in time domain. That is, the first time unit may be any one of slot 1 to slot 4. Assume that the first time unit is slot 2. In this case, the communication device may transmit uplink control information in the first time-frequency resource. The communication device does not transmit the uplink data in the second sub time-frequency resource. The second sub time frequency resource is one of the N sub time frequency resources included in the second time frequency resource, and the time slot in which the second sub time frequency resource is located is the time slot in which the first time frequency resource is located, i.e. time slot 2. In other words, in this case, the communication device only transmits the uplink control information in the time unit where the first time-frequency resource and the second time-frequency resource collide. In addition, the communication device may still transmit uplink data using the remaining sub time-frequency resources. That is, the communication device may transmit the uplink data by using the sub time-frequency resources of the time-domain resources of time slot 1, time slot 3, and time slot 4 among the N sub time-frequency resources.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the transmitting uplink control information and uplink data according to the first time unit includes: and transmitting the uplink control information and the uplink data in M sub-time-frequency resources, wherein the M sub-time-frequency resources belong to the N sub-time-frequency resources, the number of a time unit in which any one of the M sub-time-frequency resources is located is greater than or equal to the number of the first time unit, and M is a positive integer which is greater than or equal to 1 and less than N.

For example, assume that the time unit is a time slot, assume that the second time-frequency resource includes 4 time units, which are time slot 1, time slot 2, time slot 3, and time slot 4, respectively. The first time frequency resource and the second time frequency resource are overlapped in time domain. That is, the first time unit may be any one of slot 1 to slot 4. Assume that the first time unit is slot 2. In this case, the communication device may transmit the uplink control information and the uplink data in one or more of the time-domain resources of the 4 sub time-frequency resources from time slot 2 to time slot 4.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the terminal device determines M sub time-frequency resources, where the number of the time unit in which the M sub time-frequency resources are located is greater than or equal to the number of the first time unit. When the M sub time-frequency resources include that the redundancy version corresponding to one sub time-frequency resource is the non-self-decoding redundancy version, it may be determined that the third sub time-frequency resource is the sub time-frequency resource corresponding to the first non-self-decoding redundancy version of the M sub time-frequency resources; when the redundancy version corresponding to one sub time-frequency resource is not included in the M sub time-frequency resources, it may be determined that the third sub time-frequency resource is the first sub time-frequency resource in the M sub time-frequency resources. The communication device may transmit the uplink control information and the uplink data on the third sub time-frequency resource. The communication device may not transmit the uplink control information on the first time frequency. The communication device may further transmit the uplink data on other sub time-frequency resources of the N sub time-frequency resources except the second sub time-frequency resource.

For example, assume that the time unit is a time slot, assume that the second time-frequency resource includes 4 time units, where the 4 time units are time slot 1, time slot 2, time slot 3, and time slot 4, respectively, and the sub-time-frequency resources in the four time slots correspond to a self-decoding redundancy version, a non-self-decoding redundancy version, a self-decoding redundancy version, and a non-self-decoding redundancy version, respectively. The first time frequency resource and the second time frequency resource are overlapped in time domain. That is, the first time unit may be any one of slot 1 to slot 4. Assume that the first time unit is slot 2. In this case, the M sub time-frequency resources are three sub time-frequency resources of the 4 sub time-frequency resources, in which the time-domain resource is located from time slot 2 to time slot 4. In this case, the communication device may transmit the uplink control information and the uplink data on the 1 st sub time-frequency resource of the three sub time-frequency resources, i.e. the sub time-frequency resource in which slot 2 is located. Assume that the first time unit is slot 3. In this case, the M sub time-frequency resources are 2 sub time-frequency resources of the 4 sub time-frequency resources, in which the time-domain resource is located from time slot 3 to time slot 4. In this case, the communication device may transmit the uplink control information and the uplink data on the 2 nd sub time-frequency resource of the 2 sub time-frequency resources, i.e. the sub time-frequency resource where slot 4 is located.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the transmitting the uplink control information and the uplink data in M sub time-frequency resources includes: determining the number of each layer of modulation coding symbols corresponding to the transmission of the uplink control information on the uplink data channel; determining the total modulation code symbol number of the uplink control information according to the number of each layer of modulation code symbols corresponding to the transmission of the uplink control information on the uplink data channel, dividing the total modulation code symbol of the uplink control information into M parts, and respectively transmitting the M parts on the M sub-time-frequency resources, wherein the total modulation code symbol number of the M parts is equal to the total modulation code symbol number of the uplink control information.

Optionally, in some embodiments, dividing the total modulation code symbols of the uplink control information into M parts may be dividing the total modulation code symbols of the uplink control information into non-overlapping M parts.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the determining the number of modulation coding symbols of each layer corresponding to the uplink control information transmitted on the uplink data channel includes: and determining the number of modulation coding symbols of each layer corresponding to the transmission of the uplink control information on the uplink data channel according to the total number of available resource particles in the M sub time-frequency resources. The available resource element is a time-Frequency resource unit, the Frequency domain span corresponds to 1 subcarrier, and the time domain span corresponds to 1 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol. Of course, the time-frequency span of the resource element may also be defined by other definitions, for example, the frequency domain span is 12 subcarriers, or 1 RB, and the time domain span is 1 slot, mini-slot, subframe, etc. In other words, the number of REs occupied by the uplink energy control information transmitted on the uplink data channel may be determined according to the total number of available resource elements in the M sub time-frequency resources.

Optionally, in other embodiments, the determining the number of modulation coding symbols of each layer corresponding to the uplink control information transmitted on the uplink data channel includes: and determining the number of modulation coding symbols of each layer corresponding to the transmission of the uplink control information on the uplink data channel according to the number of available resource particles of one of the M sub time frequency resources.

The total number of available resource elements in the M sub time-frequency resources refers to the number of resource elements included in all available sub time-domain resources included in the M sub time-domain resources. For example, assuming that M equals 2, each sub-time domain resource includes 168 available resource elements. In this case, the total number of available resource elements in the M sub-time-frequency resources is 336.

The number of available resource elements of one of the M sub time-frequency resources is the number of available resource elements included in one sub time-domain resource. For example, assuming that M equals 2, each sub-time domain resource includes 168 available resource elements. In this case, the number of available resource elements of one of the M sub time-frequency resources is 168.

It can be understood that, if M is equal to 1, the number of available resource elements of one of the M sub time-frequency resources is equal to the total number of available resource elements in the M sub time-frequency resources.

Optionally, in other embodiments, the target scheme indication information is used to indicate that the target transmission scheme is the first transmission scheme or the third transmission scheme. For example, when the target scheme indication information is 1, the target transmission scheme is the first transmission scheme; when the target scheme indication information is 0, the target transmission scheme is the third transmission scheme.
