Description

Channel processing method and device

Technical Field

Further, a network device and a terminal device in the system may perform information interaction as in fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an information interaction process in a communication system provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the network device sends, to the terminal device, physical Downlink Control Information (DCI) or other configuration information through a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) for scheduling the terminal device to send uplink control information and/or uplink data, and the terminal device sends the uplink control information and/or uplink data according to information transmission in the PDCCH, where the uplink control information is sent through an uplink control channel (PUCCH), and the uplink data is usually sent through a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), that is, as shown in fig. 2, the terminal device may send PUCCH 1, PUCCH 2 to the network device, and may also send PUSCH1, PUSCH 2 to the network device, PUSCH1, PUSCH 2, and PUSCH, PUSCH overlap may be processed on multiple frequency domains, and PUSCH/PUSCH h may be sent on a frequency domain or PUSCH h, and PUSCH overlap occurs. In the embodiments of the present application, the overlapping may include partial overlapping and complete overlapping, and the partial overlapping may also be understood as incomplete overlapping. The overlapping in the embodiments of the present application means overlapping in the time domain, if not specifically stated.

The prior art includes a processing method for multiple overlapped puxchs, for example, in release 15 (release 15, r15) of 3GPP, 2 application scenarios (1) are included, PUCCH #1 and PUCCH #2 are overlapped in a time domain, uplink Control Information (UCI) carried by the two PUCCHs may be multiplexed onto PUCCH #3 for transmission, where PUCCH #3 may be PUCCH #1 or PUCCH #2, or may be another PUCCH different from PUCCH #1 and PUCCH # 2; (2) PUCCH #1 and PUSCH #1 overlap in the time domain, and UCI carried on PUCCH #1 may be multiplexed for transmission on PUSCH #1 together with data carried on PUSCH # 1. When two channels overlap, the requirement must be satisfied with multiplexing timing Timeline #1, and multiplexing transmission must be performed. In release 16 (release 16, r16) of 3GPP, a concept of physical layer priority is proposed, which can be used for indicating the priority of information transmitted on the physical channel, and can also be understood as indicating whether the information is for URLLC service or eMBB service. In an embodiment of the present application, the physical layer priority may include two priorities, a Low Priority (LP) PUCCH and a High Priority (HP). On one hand, for the overlapping of 2 uplink channels with the same priority, multiplexing is supported according to the R15 principle, and on the other hand, for the overlapping of 2 uplink channels with different priorities, only high-order low-order is supported, namely, a high-priority uplink channel is sent, and the sending of a low-priority uplink channel is cancelled. The cancellation of the sending of the low priority uplink channel includes two meanings: canceling the sending of the low-priority uplink channel, and then not sending the information carried on the uplink channel; and canceling the sending of the low-priority uplink channel, reserving the information on the uplink channel, and sending the information on the uplink channel by adopting other channels next time. The multiplexing rules of R15 and R16 are described in detail below.

The R15 multiplexing timing #1 is divided into 2 types, multiplexing of PUCCH and PUSCH (PUCCH vs PUSCH), and multiplexing of PUCCH and PUCCH (PUCCH vs PUCCH).

Wherein, for PUCCH vs PUCCH: (1) Specifically referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a multiplexing timing sequence provided in the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in (a) of fig. 3, if a certain PUCCH 1 carries HARQ-ACK, multiplexing time #1 is: the distance between the first symbol of the overlapped PUCCH (the initial symbol of PUCCH 1 or PUCCH 2 overlapped with PUCCH 1) and the end symbol of Downlink shared Channel (PDSCH) is larger than or equal to T ₁ ＝N ₁ +d _1，1 +1 symbols, where N ₁ Is a predetermined value, related to subcarrier spacing and UE capability, d _1，1 Is a preset offset value, related to the time domain length and type of PDSCH, N ₁ +d _1，1 The extra 1 symbol is a processing delay specially introduced to multiple PUCCH multiplexing, which is used to ensure that the UE has enough time to generate HARQ-ACK and complete transmission preparation after receiving the PDSCH. (2) If none of the overlapped PUCCHs includes HARQ-ACK, e.g., SR and CSI, then timeline #1 is not present, or by default timeline #1 is satisfied.

For PUCCH vs PUSCH: as shown in fig. 3 (b), if a certain PUCCH carries HARQ-ACK, the distance between the first symbol (the earlier symbol of the 2 starting symbols) overlapping the PUCCH and PUSCH and the PDSCH end symbol is equal to or greater than T ₁ ＝N ₁ +d _1，1 +1 symbols, as explained above; if the PUSCH is a dynamically scheduled PUSCH or a first transmission activated by DCI in a Type-2 configuration Grant (GB) PUSCH, the first symbol of the overlapped PUCCH and PUSCH is spaced from the ending symbol of the PDCCH where the DCI performing uplink scheduling is located by a distance T ₂ ＝N ₂ +d _2，1 +1, wherein N ₂ Is a predetermined value, related to subcarrier spacing and UE capability, d _2，1 Is a preset offset value, related to the type of PUSCH, N ₂ +d _2，1 The method is used for ensuring that the UE has enough time to complete the PUSCH transmission preparation after receiving the UL DCI, and the extra 1 symbol is the processing delay specially introduced to the multiplexing of the PUCCH and the PUSCH.

There are also special cases, for example, HARQ-ACK is an acknowledgement message for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) PDSCH release, or PUSCH only carries aperiodic channel state information (a-CSI), and the multiplexing timing is different, and the multiplexing timing of these special cases is not described here.

The multiplexing order of R15 also includes 2, multiplexing between a plurality of overlapping PUCCHs, and multiplexing of the overlapping PUCCHs and PUSCHs.

Wherein multiplexing between multiple overlapping PUCCHs basically comprises 2 steps:

(1) Multiplexing of multiple CSIs is processed, and only sending CSI carried by 1 PUCCH or CSI carried by 2 PUCCH (one long CSI or one short CSI) is supported in one slot (slot), which is not detailed in detail.

(2) Time domain sequential multiplexing: referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of multiplexing multiple PUCCHs according to the embodiment of the present application, as shown in the figure, a UE sequences all PUCCHs (denoted as Set # 0) that need to be processed (in principle, the sequence with the early start symbol is performed, and the sequence with the same start symbol and the longer length is performed first), then finds out all PUCCH sets (denoted as Set 1) overlapping with the PUCCH #1 for a first PUCCH (denoted as PUCCH # 1), and multiplexes all PUCCHs in the PUCCH #1 and Set #1 onto one PUCCH #1' for transmission. The PUCCH in PUCCH #1 and Set #1 is then removed from Set #0, PUCCH #1' is added, and the above process is repeated.

Multiplexing of overlapping PUCCH and PUSCH:

(1) Overlapping multiplexing between 1 PUCCH and multiple PUSCHs: 1 PUSCH is found according to a certain principle to carry Uplink Control Information (UCI) on an overlapped PUCCH, and the priority of this PUSCH selection principle is ordered as follows: 1) PUSCH carrying A-CSI. 2) The PUSCH slot with the earliest time domain. There may be multiple time slots under multi-Carrier (CC) PUSCH transmission, corresponding to different carriers, and even if there are only 1 time slot for 1 Carrier, there may be multiple PUSCHs in this time slot, and the earliest one of the time domains is selected. 3) The priority of the dynamically scheduled (Grant-based, GB) -PUSCH is greater than the Configured Granted (CG) -PUSCH. 4) The PUSCH with smaller CC index (index) has higher priority than the CC index. 5) The PUSCH with early start symbol has higher priority than the PUSCH with late start symbol.

(2) Overlapping multiplexing between 1 PUSCH and multiple PUCCHs: after the above steps are determined, if UCI of a plurality of PUCCHs are multiplexed to 1 PUSCH, the UCI may be directly multiplexed to the PUSCH.

The multiplexing rule of R16 includes multiplexing of overlapping channels with the same priority and "high and low" of overlapping channels with different priorities, but a specific processing order needs to be specified.

The uplink transmission classification and priority indication in R16 will be described first. The uplink transmission is divided into two types of downlink control information DCI dynamic scheduling or triggering and high-layer signaling static configuration.

(1) HARQ-ACK on PUCCH: hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) -acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK), abbreviated HARQ-ACK, for PDSCH. The priority is indicated by adding a priority indicator (priority indicator) field of 1bit (bit) in the DCI; HARQ-ACK of SPS-PDSCH is indicated by adding 1-bit priority indicator parameter to SPS configuration information (abbreviated as SPS Config).

It should be noted that, the SPS PDSCH requires DCI activation, and this activation DCI also has a 1-bit priority indicator field, but this field is automatically disabled, i.e., does not overwrite the priority indicated in the SPS configuration information.

(2) SR or BFR on PUCCH: scheduling Request (SR) is used to request uplink resources from the base station for uplink transmission, and Beam Failure Recovery (BFR) is used to inform the base station that the current Beam quality is poor and trigger a Beam Recovery (or update maintenance) process. The priority is indicated by adding a 1bit priority Indicator parameter to a Radio Resource Control (RRC) parameter of a PUCCH resource corresponding to the SR/BFR.

(3) CSI on PUCCH: currently, CSI carried on PUCCH includes Periodic (P) -CSI and Semi-Persistent (SP) -CSI, both of which are low priority by default. An Aperiodic (a) -CSI on PUCCH whose priority, assuming triggered by the DCI, follows a 1-bit priority indicator in the triggered DCI to indicate the priority.

(4) Data on PUSCH (data): including the case where data is transmitted on the PUSCH along with a-CSI. 1) For the PUSCH dynamically scheduled by DCI, referred to as GB (Grant-based) -PUSCH for short, a priority indicator field of 1bit is added in the scheduling DCI to indicate the priority. 2) For the CG-PUSCH, a 1bit priority Indicator parameter is added to the CG configuration information to indicate the priority. It should be noted that CG PUSCH is classified into Type 2, type-1 CG PUSCH and Type-2 CG PUSCH, the former is completely transmitted by RRC parameter configuration, and the latter (i.e. Type-2) requires DCI activation, and there is also 1-bit Priority indicator field in this activated DCI, but this field is automatically disabled, i.e. Priority indicated in CG configuration information is not overwritten.

(5) Only SP-CSI or A-CSI is carried on the PUSCH: PUSCH may only carry SP-CSI, where once DCI is activated, it is sent periodically; or may carry a-CSI without carrying data, in which case the DCI is only transmitted 1 time once scheduled. Both of these, priority is indicated by a 1bit priority indicator in the following DCI.

In the embodiment of the present application, when only information of one priority is carried in a physical channel, the priority of the information may also be understood as the priority of the physical channel, and the priority of the information and the priority of the physical channel carrying the information may be used interchangeably.

R16 uplink multiplexing order:

the big principle is as follows: and the overlapping of the PUCCH/PUSCH in the same priority is processed firstly, and then the high and low values in different priority levels are processed. For example, assume that there are 3 PUCCHs of low priority, PUCCH1, PUCCH2, and PUCCH3, respectively. The high priority has two PUCCHs, PUCCH4 and PUCCH5.

(1) Handling the same priority intra-PUCCH overlap first refers to handling the overlap between PUCCH1, PUCCH2, PUCCH3 and handling the overlap between PUCCH4, PUCCH5. PUCCH1, PUCCH2, PUCCH3 are processed to obtain PUCCH6. Meanwhile, PUCCH4 and PUCCH5 are processed to obtain PUCCH7.

(2) The reprocessing of the high priority and the low priority means that it is determined whether PUCCH6 overlaps PUCCH4, PUCCH5, and PUCCH7. If PUCCH6 overlaps with any of PUCCH4, PUCCH5, and PUCCH7, transmission of PUCCH6 is cancelled.

Special cases are as follows: considering that UE side is generally sequential processing, and there may be two special cases as shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of an overlapping processing of multiple pxchs provided in the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in (a) in fig. 5, LP PUCCH may be initially dropped by HP PUCCH/PUSCH scheduled by DCI 1, so even if LP PUxCH scheduled by DCI 2 appears later, LP PUCCH may be multiplexed onto LP PUxCH in principle, thereby avoiding being dropped by the previous HP PUxCH, and the multiplexing processing may not be performed. Or as shown in (b) of fig. 5, LP PUxCH may be initially dropped by the HP PUCCH scheduled by DCI 1, and even if the HP PUxCH scheduled by DCI 2 appears later, the HP PUCCH may be multiplexed onto the HP PUxCH in principle, thereby avoiding dropping the previous LP PUxCH, and the multiplexing process will not be performed.

Multiplexing timing #2 of R16: similar to the timing rule in R15, the high priority supported in R16 is set to low priority, and a certain timing condition needs to be satisfied. But with the difference that the timing described in R15 is such that a certain relationship is satisfied between the two uplink channels that need to be multiplexed. However, for the R16 timing, only the high priority uplink channel is required to satisfy the requirement. The reason is that in the timing described in R16, the problem of low priority does not need to be considered, and it is only necessary to cancel transmission of low priority and transmit high priority. Thus, only the high priority upstream channel needs to be specified to be in time to process.

Referring to fig. 6 for the timing relationship of R16, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a multiplexing timing relationship of R16 according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 6, HP indicates highA priority level. It is required for a high priority PUCCH/PUSCH to be satisfied after T symbols after the last symbol of its corresponding PDCCH. That is, the starting symbol of the high priority PUCCH or PUSCH must be after the position shown by point a in fig. 6. T may be an explicit value, e.g. as specified in existing protocols, T = T _proc，2 +d ₁ . Wherein T is _proc，2 Indicating the preparation time of the PUSCH. The details are related to subcarrier spacing, processing capability, etc., and are not described herein. The specific value of d1 depends on the report of the terminal device.

According to the above description, the existing R15 and R16 have defects in multiplexing the uplink channel, and for the multiplexing rule of R15, the multi-priority and cross-priority multiplexing introduced by R16 is not considered. For the multiplexing rule of R16, only "high and low" are considered, and multiplexing transmission between high and low priorities is not considered. This will cause the low-priority uplink channel to be directly cancelled, which cannot be sufficiently multiplexed, and reduces the efficiency of transmitting the uplink control information and/or the uplink data.

Based on this, first, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for reporting capability by a terminal, please refer to fig. 7A, fig. 7A is a flowchart of the method for reporting capability by a terminal according to the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 7A, the method includes the following steps:

R16 uplink multiplexing order:

the overlapped uplink channels in the same priority level are processed first, and then the overlapped uplink channels in different priority levels are processed. When processing the uplink channels overlapped among different priority levels, the principle of changing the priority level into the lower priority level with the high priority level may be followed, or the principle of changing the priority level into the higher priority level may be abbreviated, that is, the uplink channel with the high priority level is preferentially sent. The R16 uplink multiplexing order is explained in detail below. For convenience of description, 3 PUCCHs at low priority, PUCCH1, PUCCH2, and PUCCH3, and two PUCCHs at high priority, PUCCH4 and PUCCH5, are taken as examples for illustration.

(1) The processing of the uplink channels overlapping within the same priority may specifically be to process overlapping between PUCCH1, PUCCH2, and PUCCH3, and processing overlapping between PUCCH4 and PUCCH5, respectively. PUCCH1, PUCCH2, PUCCH3 are processed to obtain PUCCH6. Meanwhile, PUCCH4 and PUCCH5 are processed to obtain PUCCH7, that is, PUCCH6 and PUCCH7 are obtained first.

(2) And then, processing the uplink channels overlapped between different priority levels, specifically, judging whether the PUCCH6 overlaps with the PUCCH4, PUCCH5, or PUCCH 7.

(3) Specifically, if PUCCH6 overlaps with any one of PUCCH4, PUCCH5, and PUCCH7, the transmission of PUCCH6 may be cancelled.

Since the uplink channel may be PUCCH or PUSCH, two uplink channels, PUCCH and PUSCH, are referred to by PUxCH hereinafter. The low priority is abbreviated as LP and the high priority is abbreviated as HP.

Special cases are as follows: considering that the UE side generally performs sequential processing, when the processing principles in (1) to (3) conflict, the processing method with higher priority is performed. Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of an overlapping process of multiple puxchs according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 5 (a), an LP PUCCH is initially dropped by an HP PUxCH scheduled by DCI 1, and even if an LP PUxCH scheduled by DCI2 appears later, although there is a principle of processing an uplink channel overlapped inside the same priority, since the timing of HL PUxCH is earlier, the LP PUCCH is dropped first according to a principle of high dropping, and thus, multiplexing of the LP PUCCH and the LP PUxCH scheduled by DCI2 is not performed. Or as shown in (b) of fig. 5, LP PUxCH may be initially knocked out by HP PUCCH scheduled by DCI 1, and even if HP PUxCH scheduled by DCI2 appears later, although there is a principle of processing uplink channels internally overlapped in the same priority, that is, HP PUCCH may be multiplexed onto HP PUxCH to avoid knocking out the preceding LP PUxCH, since the principle of high hit ground is followed, multiplexing of HP PUCCH and HP PUxCH is not performed.

Multiplexing timing of R16, timer #2: similar to the timing rule in R15, the high priority supported in R16 is prioritized down, and certain timing conditions need to be satisfied. But with the difference that the timing described in R15 is such that a certain relationship is satisfied between the two uplink channels that need to be multiplexed. However, for the R16 timing, only the high priority uplink channel is required to satisfy the requirement. The reason is that in the timing described in R16, the problem of low priority does not need to be considered, and it is only necessary to cancel transmission of low priority and transmit high priority. Thus, only the high priority upstream channel needs to be specified to be in time to process.

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a multiplexing timing relationship of R16 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in fig. 6, HP indicates high priority. It is required for the high priority PUCCH/PUSCH to be satisfied T symbols after the last symbol of its corresponding PDCCH. That is, the start symbol of the high priority PUCCH or PUSCH must be after the position shown in point a in fig. 6. T may be an explicit value, e.g. as specified in existing protocols, T = T _proc，2 +d ₁ . Wherein T is _proc，2 Indicating the preparation time of the PUSCH. The details are related to subcarrier spacing, processing capability, etc., and are not described herein. The specific value of d1 depends on the report of the terminal device.

Based on this, first, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for a terminal to report a supported processing capability when uplink channels overlap, please refer to fig. 7A, where fig. 7A is a flowchart of a method for a terminal to report a capability provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the method includes the following steps:

201. the terminal equipment determines target capability information, wherein the target capability information comprises at least one type of capability information in a first capability information set, and the first capability information set comprises at least one type of the following capability information: first capability information; second capability information; third capability information.

In this embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may determine target capability information that can be supported by the terminal device, where the target capability information may be at least one of the first capability set information:

(1) The first capability information is used for representing that the terminal equipment can multiplex the overlapped uplink channels with the same priority. Regarding multiplexing between overlapping uplink channels of the same priority, in an alternative manner, the multiplexing process corresponding to the first capability information is the multiplexing process of R15 described above. In another optional manner, the first capability information is used to characterize that the terminal device can perform multiplexing between overlapping uplink channels of the same priority, and does not support cancellation of sending one of the uplink channels, reservation of another uplink channel, and non-support of multiplexing between overlapping uplink channels of different priorities. In another optional manner, the first capability information indicates that the terminal device can perform multiplexing between overlapping uplink channels of the same priority, and does not support transmission of uplink channels of different priorities. When the first capability information is used for representing that the terminal device can multiplex overlapping uplink channels with the same priority, the same priority has different interpretation modes, one optional interpretation mode is that the uplink channels are all uplink channels with low priority or all uplink channels with high priority, and the other optional interpretation mode is that the uplink channels do not have the concept of priority, and the terminal device does not prioritize the uplink channels, or the network device does not indicate the priority of the uplink channels or does not prioritize the uplink channels when scheduling uplink transmission. Regarding that the uplink channels with different priorities are not supported for transmission, an optional interpretation manner is that the terminal device does not support the uplink channels with different priorities configured by the network device for transmission, and at this time, when the network device schedules uplink transmission, all uplink transmissions are not prioritized.

(2) And the second capability information is used for representing that the terminal equipment can perform overlapping uplink channels with different priorities, canceling to send one of the uplink channels and reserving the other uplink channel. When the uplink channels with different priorities overlap, the transmission of one of the uplink channels can be cancelled, and the other uplink channel is reserved. In an alternative manner, the processing procedure corresponding to the second capability information is high-priority-first transmission, and for the high-priority-first transmission, reference may be made to the "high-order-low" procedure of R16 as described above, which is not described herein again. In another optional manner, the second capability information is used to characterize that the terminal device can perform multiplexing between overlapping uplink channels of different priorities, cancel sending one of the uplink channels, reserve another uplink channel, and do not support multiplexing of uplink channels of different priorities when overlapping.

(3) And third capability information, where the third capability information is used to characterize that the terminal device can perform multiplexing between overlapping uplink channels of different priorities. In an optional manner, the third capability information is used to characterize that the terminal device can multiplex the overlapping uplink channels with different priorities, and the terminal device does not support the overlapping uplink channels with different priorities, cancel sending one of the uplink channels, and reserve the other uplink channel. Optionally, when uplink channels of different priorities overlap, the processing process corresponding to the third capability information may include the following steps:

The first method is as follows: when the uplink channels with different priorities are overlapped, the terminal device can multiplex the uplink channels if the multiplexing condition is met. Optionally, the condition for satisfying multiplexing may be the condition described in the foregoing R15, and satisfy multiplexing timing sequence timeline #1, or may also be the condition for satisfying other multiplexing timing sequences. The multiplexing conditions are not specifically limited in the present application. Alternatively, the multiplexing condition may be understood as a condition for multiplexing different priorities; alternatively, the multiplexing condition may be a condition when multiplexing of the same priority.

And the second mode is that when the uplink channels with different priorities are overlapped, if the multiplexing condition is not met but the conditions of canceling one uplink channel and reserving the other uplink channel are met, the terminal equipment can also cancel the transmission of one uplink channel and reserve the other uplink channel.

In the case that the terminal device supports both the first mode and the second mode, it is assumed that the overlapping uplink channels with different priorities are multiplexed first, and then the overlapping uplink channels and the other overlapping uplink channels satisfy the condition of canceling one of the uplink channels and reserving the other uplink channel, at this time, the corresponding rule may be used for overlapping, but since the multiplexed uplink channel generated after multiplexing the overlapping uplink channels with different priorities may be "mixed priority" (i.e. including both the uplink channel with high priority and the uplink channel with low priority), the overlapping processing mode of the overlapping uplink channel (which may be the overlapping uplink channel with low priority or high priority) cannot fully refer to the "high and low" rule in R16 described above. Based on this, the present application provides alternative solutions, with particular reference to what is described below. Or, in an optional manner, when uplink channels of different priorities overlap, neither the multiplexing condition nor the condition for transmitting one of the uplink channels and reserving the other uplink channel is satisfied, and the terminal device does not expect this situation, that is, the network device does not invoke the uplink channels in this way.

202. And the terminal equipment reports the target capability information to the network equipment.

After determining the target capability information, the terminal device may report the target capability information to the network device. The target capability information reported by the terminal device may only include the first capability information, which indicates that the terminal device only supports multiplexing of overlapping uplink channels with the same priority. The target capability information reported by the terminal device is { first capability information, third capability information }, which indicates that the terminal device supports both multiplexing of overlapping uplink channels of the same priority and multiplexing of overlapping uplink channels of different priorities.

Optionally, the first capability information may be supported by the terminal device by default, and in an optional manner, it may be understood that the target capability information necessarily includes the first capability information, and based on this, other capability information in the first capability information set may also be included. In another optional manner, the target capability information does not need to include the first capability information, and the processing capability corresponding to the first capability information that the terminal device and the network device need to support is predefined through the protocol, at this time, the first capability information set does not need to include the first capability information, and the target capability information is one or more types of capability information in the first capability information set except for the first capability information set. For example, the target capability information reported by the terminal device is the second capability information, and at this time, the terminal device simultaneously supports the processing capability corresponding to the first capability information and the processing capability corresponding to the second capability information.

Optionally, the terminal device reports one of the plurality of pieces of capability information, and the terminal device does not support reporting the plurality of pieces of capability information at the same time. Further optionally, the terminal device reports one of the second capability information and the third capability information, and the terminal device does not support reporting the second capability information and the third capability information at the same time.

Optionally, the network device may perform communication transmission with the terminal device according to the target capability information reported by the terminal device.

Optionally, when the capability information supported by the terminal device is multiple, there is a difference in priority between the capability information in the first capability information set. The terminal device and the network device preferentially use the capability information with high priority as the processing capability when the uplink channels overlap. For example, the terminal device supports the second capability information and the third capability information, the priority of the third capability information is higher than that of the second capability information, and the terminal device preferentially executes a processing mode when uplink channels corresponding to the third capability information overlap, that is, the terminal device preferentially executes multiplexing between high and low priorities, and when the high and low priorities cannot be multiplexed, the terminal device executes a function of "canceling transmission of one of the uplink channels and reserving the other uplink channel".

Optionally, when the target capability information includes at least two kinds of capability information in the first capability information set, the method further includes: the embodiment of the application can also comprise the following steps:

203. receiving first indication information sent by a network device, wherein the first indication information is used for indicating first target capability information in target capability information, and the first target capability information is one of at least two types of capability information included in the target capability information.

When the target capability information reported to the network device by the terminal device is at least two types of capability information in the first capability information set, the network device may instruct the terminal device to perform communication transmission only according to one type of capability information, or when the terminal device supports multiple types of capabilities for processing uplink channel overlap and reports at least two types of supported capability information in the multiple types of capability information as the target capability information to the network device, the network device may instruct the terminal device of the capability information that the terminal device can specifically use through the first instruction information. Therefore, the network equipment and the terminal equipment can align the processing modes when the uplink channels are overlapped, and abnormal communication is avoided.

For example, the target capability information reported by the terminal device is the second capability information and the third capability information, that is, the target capability information is the second capability information and the third capability information, after the network device receives the target capability information, the network device selects a processing mode of overlapping uplink channels corresponding to the third capability information according to a communication condition to communicate with the terminal device, and the network device sends the first indication information to the terminal device, where the first indication information indicates the third capability information. And the terminal equipment receives the first indication information to know that the network equipment expects to adopt a processing mode of uplink channel overlapping corresponding to the third capability information for communication transmission.

According to the method and the device, the terminal device reports the target capability information to the network device, so that the network device communicates with the terminal device according to the capability information of the terminal device. The problem of abnormal communication caused by the fact that the communication mode actually scheduled by the network equipment is not consistent with the terminal equipment capacity is solved. The flexibility and diversity of the overlapped uplink channel processing are improved, and the efficiency of uplink channel transmission is further improved.

Based on the multiplexing between the overlapping uplink channels with different priorities in the above embodiments, the present application provides the following several selectable multiplexing modes between the overlapping uplink channels.

(1) Multiplexing between low priority and high priority uplink channels

The uplink channels are divided into PUCCH and PUSCH, and the low-priority uplink channels and the high-priority uplink channels are overlapped, including the following situations: the low-priority PUCCH is overlapped with the high-priority PUCCH, the low-priority PUSCH is overlapped with the high-priority PUSCH, and the low-priority PUCCH is overlapped with the high-priority PUSCH. When the multiplexing condition is satisfied, the corresponding processing rule is as follows for different cases of overlapping uplink channels:

case a: multiplexing of low priority PUCCH and high priority PUCCH

As shown in fig. 7B, after the low-priority PUCCH and the high-priority PUCCH are multiplexed, the generated multiplexed PUCCH includes the high-priority UCI and the low-priority UCI. The time-frequency resources occupied by the multiplexed PUCCH may be time-frequency resources occupied by the original low-priority PUCCH or high-priority PUCCH, or other time-frequency resources different from the time-frequency resources occupied by the low-priority PUCCH or the high-priority PUCCH. Optionally, whether the low-priority PUCCH and the high-priority PUCCH can be multiplexed or not is further determined by combining multiplexing conditions, and when the multiplexing conditions are met, multiplexing between the low-priority PUCCH and the high-priority PUCCH is performed.

Case B: multiplexing of low priority PUSCH and high priority PUCCH

And after multiplexing the low-priority PUSCH and the high-priority PUCCH, the generated multiplexed uplink channel comprises the low-priority data and the high-priority UCI. And, the multiplexed uplink channel is a PUSCH. It can be understood that the uplink channel PUSCH after multiplexing may be a PUSCH channel before multiplexing, or may also be a new PUSCH channel, which is not limited in this application.

Optionally, before multiplexing the priority uplink channel with the overlapped high-priority PUCCH, it may be determined whether the low-priority uplink channel is also overlapped with other low-priority uplink channels, and if so, multiplexing of the low-priority uplink channel with other low-priority uplink channels may be processed first.

Case C multiplexing of Low and high priority PUSCHs

The low-priority PUSCH bears low-priority data, the high-priority PUSCH bears high-priority data, and after the low-priority PUSCH and the high-priority PUSCH are multiplexed, the generated multiplexed PUSCH comprises the low-priority data and the high-priority data. It can be understood that the uplink channel PUSCH after multiplexing may be a PUSCH channel before multiplexing, for example, a PUSCH channel with a high priority, or may also be a new PUSCH channel, and the present application is not limited.

Case D multiplexing of Low priority PUCCH and high priority PUSCH

The low-priority PUCCH bears the low-priority UCI, the high-priority PUSCH bears the high-priority data, and after the low-priority PUCCH and the high-priority PUSCH are multiplexed, the generated multiplexing uplink channel comprises the low-priority UCI and the high-priority data. And the multiplexed uplink channel is a PUSCH. It can be understood that the uplink channel PUSCH after multiplexing may be a PUSCH channel before multiplexing, or may also be a new PUSCH channel, and the present application is not limited.

Optionally, before multiplexing the low-priority uplink channel and the high-priority PUSCH, it may be determined whether the low-priority uplink channel is also overlapped with other low-priority uplink channels, and if so, multiplexing of the low-priority uplink channel and other low-priority uplink channels may be processed first.

Optionally, before multiplexing the low-priority uplink channel and the high-priority PUSCH, it may be determined whether the low-priority uplink channel is still overlapped with another PUCCH, and if so, overlap processing of the low-priority uplink channel and the PUCCH is performed first.

Optionally, before multiplexing the low-priority uplink channel and the high-priority PUSCH, it may be determined whether the low-priority uplink channel is still overlapped with another high-priority PUCCH, and if so, overlap processing of the low-priority uplink channel and the high-priority PUCCH is performed first.

The above listed multiplexing methods may exist simultaneously or independently, that is, the terminal device may only execute one of the multiplexing methods, may also support multiple multiplexing methods, and may also support a combination scheme of multiple methods. The embodiments of the present application are not limited.

The multiplexed uplink channel generated after multiplexing the low-priority uplink channel and the high-priority uplink channel may be referred to as a high-priority uplink channel because the high-priority uplink channel includes the UCI and/or data, but may also be referred to as a "mixed-priority" uplink channel because the low-priority uplink channel also includes the UCI and/or data. In the embodiments of the present application, such an uplink channel is described by "mixed priority", but it should be understood that it may alternatively be referred to as a high priority uplink channel.

(2) The uplink channel with "mixed priority" may overlap with other uplink channels, and when the uplink channel with "mixed priority" overlaps with other uplink channels, the multiplexing of the uplink channel with "mixed priority" and other uplink channels is processed as follows:

when the "mixed priority" uplink channel overlaps with another low priority uplink channel, the uplink channel may be directly multiplexed, and in this case, the mixed priority uplink channel and the low priority uplink channel may be considered. Alternatively, when the "mixed priority" uplink channel overlaps with the low priority uplink channel, the "mixed priority" uplink channel may be multiplexed with the low priority uplink channel as the high priority uplink channel by using one or more of the aforementioned "multiplexing between the low priority and high priority uplink channels".

The "mixed priority" upstream channel is "kept one" with the other upstream channels.

Mode F: the "mixed priority" upstream channel is "one-on-one" with the low priority upstream channel. The following conditions can be specifically adopted:

the uplink channel with mixed priority is overlapped with the transmission of the uplink channel with low priority, and the uplink channel with mixed priority comprises high priority UCI and/or data, so the transmission of the uplink channel with low priority can be cancelled, and the uplink channel with mixed priority is reserved.

b. The transmission of the "mixed priority" upstream channel is cancelled, while the low priority upstream channel is reserved. Since the network device itself wants to invoke the low priority uplink channel at the time-frequency position of the uplink channel transmission of "mixed priority", the priority can be considered to ensure the transmission of the low priority uplink channel.

Or, the uplink channel of "mixed priority" and the low priority uplink channel are continuously overlapped, and may not be very important, and the transmission of the low priority uplink channel normally called by the network device may be prioritized.

c. In the uplink channel with "mixed priority" and the uplink channel with low priority, the transmission of the uplink channel with later transmission time may be cancelled, and the uplink channel with earlier transmission time may be reserved. The transmission time may be later than the first symbol of the two, or later than the last symbol.

Mode G: one-for-one between uplink channel of mixed priority and uplink channel of high priority "

a. And canceling the transmission of the uplink channel with the mixed priority, and reserving the uplink channel with the high priority. The high priority uplink channel is overlapped with the transmission of the uplink channel with the mixed priority, the transmission time frequency position of the uplink channel with the mixed priority is determined after multiplexing, the time frequency position is the uplink channel with the high priority which the network equipment wants to call, and in this case, the uplink channel with the high priority can bear more important information, so the uplink channel with the high priority can be reserved, and the transmission of the uplink channel with the mixed priority can be cancelled.

b. And canceling the transmission of the uplink channel with high priority, and reserving the transmission of the uplink channel with mixed priority. Since the information on the uplink channel with "mixed priority" is an uplink channel obtained after multiplexing a plurality of uplink channels, and the information carried thereon may be more important than the information carried by a single uplink channel with high priority, the multiplexed uplink channel can also be reserved, and the transmission of the uplink channel with high priority can be cancelled.

c. In the uplink channel with mixed priority and the uplink channel with high priority, the transmission of the uplink channel with later transmission time is cancelled, and the uplink channel with earlier transmission time is reserved. The transmission time may be later than the first symbol of the two, or later than the last symbol.

The two processing manners can be used for the case that the uplink channel is any type of uplink channel.

Or different "make one and keep one" modes can be adopted when the uplink channels are of different types.

d. The high priority uplink channel is PUCCH

At this time, the uplink channel of the "mixed priority" may be PUCCH or PUSCH.

When the uplink channel of the "mixed priority" is the PUCCH, the uplink channel may include high-priority UCI and low-priority UCI thereon, and the transmission of the low-priority UCI on the uplink channel of the "mixed priority" may be cancelled, and the UCI of the high priority thereon may be multiplexed with the high-priority PUCCH to obtain a re-multiplexed uplink channel. Specifically, as shown in fig. 7C, fig. 7C is a schematic diagram of a processing process of an overlapped uplink channel provided in the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 7C, a "mixed priority" PUCCH includes a high priority UCI and a low priority UCI, and when the mixed priority "PUCCH overlaps with the high priority uplink channel, the low priority UCI may be cancelled, and then the high priority UCI and information H1 carried by the high priority uplink channel are multiplexed, where H1 may be the high priority UCI or the high priority uplink data. The multiplexed uplink channel obtained after multiplexing the uplink channel and the PUCCH only comprises high priority UCI and high priority data, and is a high priority uplink channel which carries the high priority UCI on the multiplexed PUCCH and H1 on the high priority uplink channel.

Alternatively, before "make one for one" of the "mixed priority" uplink channel and the high priority uplink channel, it may be determined whether or not the second multiplexing condition is satisfied between the two (the aforementioned determination that the multiplexing condition is satisfied between the two may be referred to as not satisfying the first multiplexing condition or not satisfying the first multiplexing timing). The second multiplexing condition may be a second multiplexing timing for characterizing that the high priority UCI in the "mixed priority" uplink channel may be multiplexed with the high priority uplink channel after canceling the transmission of the low priority UCI on the "mixed priority" uplink channel. One can appreciate that there is sufficient time between multiplexing of the high priority UCI and the high priority uplink channel, then the high priority UCI can be multiplexed with the high priority uplink channel. The second multiplexing timing may be a different value than the first multiplexing timing.

Optionally, the second multiplexing timing sequence #3 is greater than or equal to the first multiplexing timing sequence, and the first multiplexing timing sequence may be, for example, the aforementioned timing sequence #2. Further alternatively, timeline #3T3= T2+ D. Wherein T2 is a parameter of time #2 (specifically related to subcarrier spacing and capability of the terminal device, see the foregoing description). D may be predefined for different scene protocols, or reported to the network device by the terminal device, or may be related to the subcarrier interval and the capability of the terminal device. For example, D =0,1, or 2.

Or, when the uplink channel of the "mixed priority" is the PUCCH, the uplink channel of the "mixed priority" and the uplink channel of the high priority may be cancelled, where the priority of the UCI information carried in the uplink channel of the "mixed priority" is lower. The UCI carried by the uplink channel of "mixed priority" refers to high-priority UCI, that is, UCI information carried by the high-priority UCI of the uplink channel of "mixed priority" is compared with UCI information of high priority, where the UCI information includes ACK, CSI, SR, and the like, and the priority is ACK > CSI > SR. Wherein ">" indicates that the UCI information is higher in priority.

When the uplink channel of the "hybrid priority" is the PUSCH, the uplink channel includes both the UCI and the uplink data, so that transmission of the high-priority PUCCH can be cancelled, and the uplink channel of the "hybrid priority" is reserved.

e. The high priority uplink channel is PUSCH

The transmission of the uplink channel of the "mixed priority" can be cancelled, and the high priority PUSCH is reserved.

In some cases, it is assumed that the uplink channel of "mixed priority" is obtained by multiplexing PUCCH and PUSCH, and in the case where the uplink channel of high priority is PUSCH, transmission of the uplink channel of "mixed priority" is cancelled.

The above listed overlapping processing methods of the uplink channel with "mixed priority" and other channels may exist simultaneously or independently, that is, the terminal device may only execute one of the overlapping processing methods, may also support multiple overlapping processing methods simultaneously, and may also support a combination scheme of multiple methods. The embodiments of the present application are not limited.

Similarly, the overlapping processing method of the high-priority uplink channel and the low-priority uplink channel and the overlapping processing method of the "mixed-priority" uplink channel and other channels may exist at the same time or independently, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited.

In addition, when the above-described superimposition processing method is executed, a corresponding condition determination may be performed.

Optionally, before multiplexing the high-priority uplink channel and the low-priority uplink channel, it is required to determine that the multiplexing condition between the two channels is satisfied;

optionally, before multiplexing the uplink channel with the "mixed priority" with other uplink channels, it is necessary to determine that the multiplexing condition between the uplink channel and the other uplink channels is satisfied;

optionally, before "make a one-for-one" between the uplink channel with the "mixed priority" and the other uplink channel, it is necessary to determine that the condition of canceling the transmission of one uplink channel and reserving the other uplink channel is satisfied between the uplink channel with the "mixed priority" and the other uplink channel;

optionally, before "making a one-for-one" between the uplink channel with the "mixed priority" and the other uplink channels, it may be determined that the multiplexing condition between the uplink channel with the "mixed priority" and the other uplink channels is not satisfied.

As possible, the multiplexing between the high-priority uplink channel and the low-priority uplink channel, the multiplexing of the "mixed-priority" uplink channel and other uplink channels, and the "one-for-one" of the "mixed-priority" uplink channel and other uplink channels may be partially or completely used as the third capability information described in the foregoing embodiments, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited in particular.

The above process describes the multiplexing rule and the "make-and-keep" rule between uplink channels with different priorities in the embodiment of the present application, and in the actual processing process, different processing sequences may be adopted. Referring to fig. 8A, fig. 8A is a flowchart of a channel processing method according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 8A, the method includes the following steps:

301. the terminal equipment determines a first uplink channel set, the first uplink channel set comprises a first uplink channel and at least one other uplink channel overlapped with the first uplink channel, and the uplink channel in the first uplink channel set corresponds to a first priority.

In the embodiment of the present application, a first priority and a second priority are used to describe two uplink channels with different priorities, where the second priority is higher than the first priority, and therefore, in the following description, the first priority is also referred to as a low priority, and the second priority is referred to as a high priority, so that the two description manners can be commonly used.

In the embodiment of the present application, it is assumed that a plurality of overlapped uplink channels are included, and a first priority (low priority) uplink channel among the plurality of overlapped uplink channels is processed first. Specifically, the mutually overlapping low-priority uplink channels may be divided into a set, and the low-priority uplink channels in the set may be multiplexed. Optionally, the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set may all be PUCCH, or all be PUSCH, or may be a set formed by PUCCH and PUSCH.

The manner of obtaining the first uplink channel set may be to obtain the first uplink channel from a plurality of low-priority uplink channels in a time unit, where the time unit is a time domain unit used for signal transmission and may include a radio frame (radio frame), a subframe (subframe), a slot (slot), a mini-slot (mini-slot), or at least one Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) uplink symbol isochronous domain unit. OFDM may also be referred to simply as symbols. Fig. 8B is a schematic diagram of a possible time unit relationship in the present application, as shown in fig. 8B, a radio frame has a time domain length of 10ms, one radio frame may include 10 radio subframes, and a radio subframe has a time domain length of 1ms. One radio subframe may include one or more slots, and in particular, how many slots a subframe includes are related to a Subcarrier Space (SCS), and in case of 15kHz for the SCS, the time domain length of one slot is 1ms and one slot includes 14 symbols.

It should be understood that the above time unit relationship of fig. 8B is only an exemplary illustration, and should not constitute any limitation to the present application.

The plurality of low-priority uplink channels in the time unit may form a target uplink channel set, and the first uplink channel may be the earliest uplink channel in the time domain in the target uplink channel set and/or a channel occupying the most time domain resources in the target uplink channel set. The earliest in the time domain, e.g., in the earliest slot or in the earliest OFDM symbol. Similarly, the occupied time domain resource may be the longest time slot spanned by the uplink channel, or the longest occupied OFDM symbol, and the like. And then, with the first uplink channel as a reference, determining an uplink channel a, an uplink channel b \8230andan uplink channel n which are overlapped with the first uplink channel in the plurality of uplink channels to form a first uplink channel set. It is to be understood that the first set of uplink channels is a subset of the target set of uplink channels. Optionally, the target uplink channel set may be divided into a plurality of first uplink channel sets, and the first uplink channel in the second first uplink channel set may be the earliest uplink channel in the time domain among the remaining low-priority uplink channels that are not divided into the set, or a channel occupying the most time domain resources among the plurality of uplink channels. And circulating the above steps until all the low-priority uplink channels are classified into sets, or further including low-priority uplink channels which are not classified into the first uplink channel set, that is, the low-priority uplink channels are not overlapped with any low-priority uplink channel temporarily, but the uplink channels may be overlapped with multiplexed uplink channels obtained after multiplexing in other sets is completed, so that the low-priority uplink channels can be left for subsequent processing.

Optionally, after determining the first uplink channel and dividing the first uplink channel set, the first uplink channel set is processed to obtain the first multiplexed uplink channel. Then the first multiplexed uplink channel and the remaining target uplink channel set form a new target uplink channel set. Then, a new first uplink channel is selected, the selection mode may be the mode described above, or other modes, and then a new first uplink channel set is reconstructed based on the new first uplink channel, and the processing of the set is performed. In the process, the first set of uplink channels is a subset iteratively selected from the target set of uplink channels.

302. And the terminal equipment determines a second uplink channel, wherein the second uplink channel is used for bearing partial information or all information borne by the uplink channels in the first channel set.

The second uplink channel may be: (1) The system comprises a first channel set and a second channel set, wherein the first channel set is used for carrying uplink channels in the first channel set; (2) And the method is used for bearing all information borne by the uplink channels in the first channel set.

For the first case, the second uplink channel may carry information of a certain uplink channel in the first uplink channel set. Or, the second uplink channel is used to carry information of the middle uplink channel obtained after multiplexing the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set, that is, at this time, partial multiplexing is performed, and multiplexing of all channels in the set is not completed yet.

For the second case, the second uplink channel is used to carry information of the first multiplexing uplink channel, and the first multiplexing uplink channel is obtained after all uplink channels in the first uplink channel set are multiplexed.

After the low-priority uplink channel is divided into the first uplink channel set, the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set may be multiplexed to obtain a first multiplexed uplink channel, where the first multiplexed uplink channel carries information carried by all uplink channels in the first uplink channel set. Optionally, each first uplink channel set corresponds to a first multiplexed uplink channel, and the first multiplexed uplink channels may be overlapped with each other, or the first multiplexed uplink channel may be overlapped with a low-priority uplink channel that is not classified into the set, and the first multiplexed uplink channel and the low-priority uplink channel may be continuously multiplexed to obtain a multiplexed uplink channel, so that the multiplexed uplink channel is not overlapped with any low-priority uplink channel.

Optionally, the first uplink channel set may be a subset iteratively selected from the target uplink channel set, that is, the first uplink channel selected for the first time, and the first multiplexed uplink channel obtained after the first uplink channel set is obtained based on the first uplink channel set and subjected to channel multiplexing forms a channel target uplink channel with the remaining uplink channels in the target uplink channel set, and then the first uplink channel is selected from the channel target uplink channel set and the first uplink channel set is divided for multiplexing. In this case, after the iterative processing is completed for all the overlapped low-priority uplink channels, one or more first multiplexed uplink channels are finally obtained.

303. Determining a fourth uplink channel under the condition that a third uplink channel overlapped with a second uplink channel is included, wherein the fourth uplink channel is used for bearing information borne by the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel; or, the fourth uplink channel is used for carrying partial information carried by the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel; the second uplink channel is at least one of the following; the second uplink channel is at least one of: a first multiplexed uplink channel; at least one other uplink channel in the first set of uplink channels; a middle uplink channel for bearing information of part of uplink channels in the first uplink channel set; the third uplink channel corresponds to a second priority, the second priority being higher than the first priority.

The second uplink channel may be the first multiplexed uplink channel, at least one other uplink channel in the first uplink channel set, or a middle uplink channel carrying information carried by a part of uplink channels in the first uplink channel set. In the case where the second uplink channel is the first multiplexed uplink channel, that is, after multiplexing the low-priority uplink channel to obtain the first multiplexed uplink channel, there may be an uplink channel (third uplink channel) with a high priority (second priority) overlapping with the first multiplexed uplink channel, and in this case, the first multiplexed uplink channel and the third uplink channel need to be processed.

When the second uplink channel is at least one other uplink channel in the first uplink channel set, it indicates that before the at least one other uplink channel completes multiplexing with the first uplink channel, the time-frequency position of the second uplink channel may overlap with a third uplink channel with high priority, and the high priority uplink channel (third uplink channel) is about to be transmitted. Then the problem of overlap between the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel may be dealt with first.

When the second uplink channel is a middle uplink channel generated after the first uplink channel in the first uplink channel set is multiplexed with part of uplink channels in other uplink channels, it indicates that the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set have been partially multiplexed and have not been completely multiplexed, at this time, a high-priority uplink channel (third uplink channel) is about to be transmitted (or is being transmitted) and is overlapped with the transmission of the middle uplink channel, and then overlap processing between the middle uplink channel and the third uplink channel is performed first.

In the embodiment of the present application, since the timing relationship between two uplink channels that are overlapped is uncertain, before processing, the timing relationship between the two uplink channels needs to be determined. For example, whether the two satisfy the multiplexing condition may be determined, specifically, whether the two satisfy the multiplexing timing sequence may be determined. As described above, whether the multiplexing timing sequence between the third uplink channel and the first multiplexed uplink channel is satisfied may be determined according to the multiplexing timing sequence in R15, and whether the multiplexing timing sequence between the third uplink channel and the first multiplexed uplink channel is satisfied may also be determined according to other multiplexing timing sequences, for example, to allow a timing sequence for multiplexing between channels with different priorities, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

And multiplexing the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel when the multiplexing condition is met. The second uplink channel is a first multiplexing uplink channel, at least one other uplink channel in the first uplink channel set, or a middle uplink channel for carrying information carried by a part of uplink channels in the first uplink channel set, and in any one of these three cases, the second uplink channel is a low-priority uplink channel, and the third uplink channel is a high-priority uplink channel. The specific multiplexing rule can be referred to in the above description as "(1) multiplexing between low-priority and high-priority uplink channels", which is not described herein again.

Another possible implementation manner is that if the multiplexing condition is satisfied, it needs to further determine whether there is a low priority uplink channel overlapping with the second uplink channel. If so, the multiplexing of the second uplink channel and the overlapped low priority uplink channel is processed. Yet another possible implementation is to multiplex the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel if the multiplexing condition is satisfied and there is no uplink channel overlapping with each other in the target uplink channel set. Namely, the overlapping processing between the low priority uplink channels is finished first, and then the overlapping processing between the low priority uplink channels and the high priority uplink channels is carried out. In this case, the second uplink channel is the first multiplexed uplink channel, and is not at least one other uplink channel in the first uplink channel set or an intermediate uplink channel carrying information carried by a part of the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set.

If the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel do not satisfy the multiplexing condition, and satisfy the condition of canceling transmission of one uplink channel and reserving another uplink channel, then "make one for one" between the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel may be performed, and the specific rule may refer to "make one for one" between the low priority uplink channel and the high priority uplink channel, which is not described herein again.

It should be noted that, the overlapping of the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel includes two meanings:

(1) All high priority uplink channels that overlap with the second uplink channel are referred to as third uplink channels, which are one or more uplink channels.

(2) There are a plurality of high priority uplink channels overlapping the second uplink channel, and the third uplink channel is a selected one of the plurality of high priority uplink channels.

In view of the first meaning, when it is determined that the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel satisfy the multiplexing condition, the second uplink channel and all the third uplink channels may be considered to satisfy the multiplexing condition, that is, assuming that one of the second uplink channel and the third uplink channels does not satisfy the multiplexing condition, it is considered that the multiplexing condition is not satisfied between the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel. Correspondingly, when any one of the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel meets the condition of canceling the transmission of one uplink channel and reserving the other uplink channel, the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel are 'printed with one for one'.

For the second meaning, the third uplink channel may be an earliest uplink channel in a time domain and/or a channel occupying most time domain resources among a plurality of high priority uplink channels overlapping with the second uplink channel. Both of them can judge and process whether multiplexing condition is required.

After obtaining the fourth uplink channel, the terminal device may send the fourth uplink channel to the network device, and when the network device generates and sends the scheduling information of the terminal device, the terminal device may also predict the uplink channel to be sent and the time-frequency position corresponding to the uplink channel, that is, the network device receives the fourth uplink channel at the time-frequency position corresponding to the fourth uplink channel.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment of the present application, a first uplink channel set corresponding to an uplink channel overlapped with a first uplink channel with a low priority is generated, then multiplexing of uplink channels in the first uplink channel set is performed to obtain a first multiplexed uplink channel, and then an overlapping problem between a second uplink channel and another uplink channel with a high priority (a third uplink channel) is processed according to a preset condition, where the second uplink channel may be the first multiplexed uplink channel, or an uplink channel in the first uplink channel set, or an intermediate uplink channel obtained by multiplexing uplink channels in the first uplink channel set, and a fourth uplink channel is obtained, where the fourth uplink channel may be obtained by multiplexing the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel under the preset condition that the preset condition is satisfied, or may be obtained by multiplexing the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel under the preset condition that the preset condition is not satisfied, but "make a first". The process reduces the probability that the sending of the low-priority uplink channel is cancelled, and further improves the transmission efficiency of the uplink control information and/or the uplink data. In addition, the process reduces the frequency of cross-priority uplink channel processing by processing the multiplexing problem of the low-priority uplink channel first and then processing the multiplexing problem of the low-priority uplink channel and the high-priority uplink channel, and because the cross-priority overlapping processing mechanism is generally more complicated than the overlapping processing mechanism with the same priority, the process further reduces the complexity and the time-consuming length of the channel processing process and improves the uplink channel processing efficiency.

It should be noted that the first uplink channel set may be an empty set, that is, there is no overlapping low priority uplink channel, and the low priority uplink channel may be processed separately with the overlapping high priority uplink channel. The specific processing rules are as described above.

After determining the fourth uplink channel, the terminal device, assuming that there is a sixth uplink channel overlapping with the fourth uplink channel, may not directly send the fourth uplink channel, but continue to perform the overlapping processing of the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel, and determine a seventh uplink channel.

In this embodiment of the present application, the fourth uplink channel is an uplink channel obtained by multiplexing a low-priority uplink channel and a high-priority uplink channel, that is, a "mixed priority" uplink channel, and the sixth uplink channel may be a high-priority uplink channel or a low-priority uplink channel.

When the sixth uplink channel is a low-priority uplink channel, the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel may be multiplexed under the condition that the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel meet the multiplexing condition, and since the fourth uplink channel carries information on the high-priority uplink channel, when the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel with a low priority are multiplexed, the fourth uplink channel may be equal to the high-priority uplink channel, and specific multiplexing rules of the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel with a low priority may refer to the foregoing "multiplexing between the low-priority uplink channel and the high-priority uplink channel", which is not described herein again.

When the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel do not satisfy the multiplexing condition, and satisfy the condition of canceling the transmission of one of the uplink channels and reserving the other uplink channel, "make one and one" between them may be performed, and the specific rule may refer to "make one and one" of the uplink channel with the mixed priority "and the uplink channel with the low priority" described above, which is not described herein again.

After determining the seventh uplink channel (or the obtained other last uplink channel), the terminal device may send the seventh uplink channel to the network device, where the seventh uplink channel may be an uplink channel obtained after multiplexing the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel, or an uplink channel which is not cancelled but is reserved to be sent in the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel. And the network equipment receives the seventh uplink channel at the time-frequency position corresponding to the seventh uplink channel.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present application, for an uplink channel (fourth uplink channel) with a "mixed priority" obtained after multiplexing, which may exist in a sixth uplink channel that is overlapped with the uplink channel, similarly, multiplexing of the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel may be performed, or "making a first" for the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel may be performed, which provides a processing manner for the uplink channel with the "mixed priority" and the uplink channels with high priority and low priority, so as to ensure sending of more important and more uplink control information and/or uplink data as much as possible, and further improve sending efficiency of the uplink control information and/or uplink data.

As can be seen from the foregoing embodiments, in the processing of uplink channels with different priorities, a low-priority uplink channel in the first uplink channel set may include only a PUCCH, or may include both a PUCCH and a PUSCH, and after the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set are multiplexed to obtain a first multiplexed uplink channel, and in the processing of a third uplink channel with a high priority, the third uplink channel may be a single non-multiplexed PUCCH, or a single non-multiplexed PUSCH, and/or the third uplink channel may be a PUCCH or a PUSCH obtained after multiplexing, and a specific processing procedure of the uplink channels with different priorities may be changed when the first multiplexed uplink channel is generated in a different process, and the type of the third uplink channel is different, which will be described in detail in the following description.

Referring to fig. 9A, fig. 9A is a flowchart of a channel processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure,

401. the terminal equipment determines a first uplink channel set, wherein the first uplink channel set comprises a first uplink channel and at least one other uplink channel overlapped with the first uplink channel, and the uplink channel in the first uplink channel set is a PUCCH corresponding to a first priority; in this embodiment of the present application, the first uplink channel set includes a first uplink channel, which is a PUCCH corresponding to a first priority (low priority), and the first uplink channel set may further include at least one low priority PUCCH overlapping with the first uplink channel.

Specifically, the uplink channels included in the first uplink channel set are all low-priority uplink channels, and other uplink channels in the first uplink channel set except the first uplink channel are all overlapped with the first uplink channel.

In an optional manner, the specific manner in which the terminal device determines the first uplink channel set may be that the terminal device selects a PUCCH channel from the second uplink channel set to form the first uplink channel set. Optionally, the uplink channel included in the second uplink channel set is an uplink channel in a time unit, for example, if a time unit is a time slot, the uplink channel included in the second uplink channel set is an uplink channel in a time slot. In this case, the uplink channels included in the first uplink channel set are all PUCCHs in the uplink channels in one slot.

Specifically, referring to fig. 9B, fig. 9B is a schematic diagram of a first uplink channel set according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in (a) of fig. 9B, a first uplink channel set 1 includes a first uplink channel 1, which is a Low Priority (LP) PUCCH 10. LP PUCCH 11 and LP PUCCH 12 are also included, where LP PUCCH 11 and LP PUCCH 12 both overlap LP PUCCH 10.

Optionally, the first uplink channel may be a selected one of a first target uplink channel set composed of all low-priority PUCCHs corresponding to a time unit, for example, the earliest one in the time domain may be the earliest one in the time domain, or the most occupied time domain resources in the time domain may be the most occupied time domain resources, or the earliest one in the time domain and the most occupied time domain resources in the time domain may be simultaneously satisfied.

For example, LP PUCCH 10 in fig. 9B is one of SET1 occupying the most time domain resources.

Alternatively, the first set of uplink channels may be a plurality of sets divided from the first target set of uplink channels. After the first uplink channel is used for dividing the first uplink channel set, a second first uplink channel is determined from the remaining uplink channels of the first target uplink channel set, and the second first uplink channel set is divided by taking the second first uplink channel as a reference. And so on until no overlapping low priority PUCCHs are included.

For example, in fig. 9B, after the first uplink channel SET1 is determined based on the LP PUCCH 10, assuming that the first uplink channel SET is a plurality of SETs divided from the first target uplink channel SET, the first uplink channel 2, that is, the LP PUCCH20, is determined in the SET1 and is the earliest time-domain one of the remaining uplink channels of the SET 1. After the LP PUCCH20 is determined, all low priority PUCCHs overlapping with it are acquired, forming the first uplink channel set 2, and so on until no more low priority PUCCHs overlapping with each other are included.

Optionally, the first set of uplink channels is a plurality of sets obtained iteratively from a first target set of uplink channels. The method comprises the steps of dividing a first uplink channel into a first uplink channel set, multiplexing to obtain a multiplexing uplink channel, combining the multiplexing uplink channel and uplink channels except the first uplink channel set in a first target uplink channel set to form a new first target uplink channel set, selecting a second first uplink channel from the new first target uplink channel set, and dividing a second first uplink channel set by taking the second first uplink channel as a reference. And iterating until the new first target uplink channel set does not comprise the uplink channels which are overlapped with each other any more.

For example, assuming that the first uplink channel SET is a plurality of SETs obtained by iteration from the first target uplink channel SET, as shown in (c) of fig. 9B, the first multiplexed uplink channel and the remaining LP PUCCH in the first target uplink channel SET are combined together into a new first target uplink channel SET1', and then one first uplink channel 2 is selected from the new first target uplink channel SET, which corresponds to PUCCH #1 in the figure, and the first uplink channel SET 2 is divided based on the first uplink channel 2. Iterate until no more low priority PUCCHs are included that overlap each other.

And after the first uplink channel set is determined, multiplexing all uplink channels in the first uplink channel set to obtain a first multiplexing uplink channel. Since the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set are all low priority PUCCHs, the first multiplexed uplink channel may also be a low priority PUCCH, for example, corresponding to the first uplink channel set1 in fig. 9B, and obtain PUCCH #1 after multiplexing, and similarly, the first uplink channel set 2 obtains PUCCH #2 after multiplexing, and both are low priority PUCCHs.

Then, it is further found whether there are other low-priority PUCCHs overlapping with PUCCH #1 or PUCCH #2 in SET1, and the multiplexing process inside the aforementioned one low-priority PUCCH SET is repeated until it is determined that the time unit does not include any overlapping low-priority PUCCHs.

Or, after the first uplink channel SET1 is multiplexed to obtain the PUCCH #1, the PUCCH #1 and the remaining non-multiplexed PUCCH in the first target uplink channel SET are combined into a new first target uplink channel SET1', and it is determined whether there are uplink channels overlapping with each other in the SET, if so, the first uplink channel 2 is selected again, the first uplink channel SET 2 is divided, and the next round of multiplexing is performed until it is determined that the first target uplink channel SET does not include the uplink channels overlapping with each other any more.

402. And the terminal equipment determines a second uplink channel, wherein the second uplink channel is used for bearing partial information or all information borne by the uplink channels in the first channel set.

Determining a second uplink channel, where the second uplink channel may be: (1) The system comprises a first channel set and a second channel set, wherein the first channel set is used for carrying uplink channels in the first channel set; (2) For carrying all information carried by the uplink channels in the first set of channels.

For the case (1), the second uplink channel may carry information of a certain uplink channel in the first uplink channel set. Or, the second uplink channel is used to carry information of a middle uplink channel obtained after multiplexing the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set, that is, at this time, partial multiplexing is performed, and multiplexing of all channels in the set is not yet completed. Or, the second uplink channel is used to carry a channel obtained after multiplexing the uplink channel in the first uplink channel set, but information carried by a part of channels in the first uplink channel set is cancelled. It is understood that the reason for the cancelled transmission may be resource limitation, or other conditions, and the embodiment is not limited.

In view of the situation in the step (2), the second uplink channel is used to carry information of the first multiplexed uplink channel, and the first multiplexed uplink channel is obtained after all uplink channels in the first uplink channel set are multiplexed.

The first multiplexed uplink channel is obtained after all uplink channels in the first uplink channel set are multiplexed, which means that the first multiplexed uplink channel may be a final multiplexed uplink channel obtained by multiplexing through multiple rounds of first uplink channel set division to obtain a multiplexed uplink channel, and then performing first uplink channel set division with the remaining uplink channels. In the first target uplink channel set in the time unit, no other uplink channel overlapping with the first multiplexing uplink channel exists. Or, the first multiplexing uplink channel is a channel obtained after the first target uplink channel is processed through iterative processing. The finally obtained first target uplink channel does not include the overlapped uplink channel.

403. Determining a fourth uplink channel under the condition that a third uplink channel overlapped with a second uplink channel is included, wherein the fourth uplink channel is used for bearing information borne by the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel; or, the fourth uplink channel is used for carrying partial information carried by the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel.

Wherein, the second uplink channel is at least one of the following channels; a first multiplexed uplink channel; at least one other uplink channel in the first set of uplink channels; a middle uplink channel for bearing information of part of uplink channels in the first uplink channel set; the third uplink channel corresponds to a second priority, and the second priority is higher than the first priority.

The second uplink channel may overlap with the high priority uplink channel. The method specifically comprises the following steps: the obtained first multiplexed uplink channel may overlap with a high priority uplink channel, and the high priority uplink channel may be an HP PUCCH or an HP PUSCH. Or the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set are not completely multiplexed, but the intermediate uplink channel generated after the first uplink channel and one or more uplink channels are multiplexed is overlapped with the high-priority uplink channel, or one uplink channel in the first uplink channel set is not multiplexed, and is also overlapped with the high-priority uplink channel, at this time, processing can be performed according to the time sequence relationship between the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel, and then the fourth uplink channel is determined.

Actually, please refer to fig. 9C, fig. 9C is a flowchart of a channel processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 9C, step 403 may be divided into two cases:

4031. and a third uplink channel with a second priority level overlapped with the second uplink channel, wherein a fourth uplink channel is determined under the condition that the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel meet the first multiplexing condition, and the fourth uplink channel is used for bearing all information borne by the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel.

The second uplink channel and the third uplink channel may be multiplexed to obtain a fourth uplink channel under the condition that the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel are overlapped and meet the first multiplexing condition, where the fourth uplink channel is used to carry all information carried by the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel.

Specifically referring to fig. 9B, as shown in (B) of fig. 9B, the multiplexed uplink channel PUCCH #2 overlaps the HP PUCCH 1, and determines whether the two channels satisfy the first multiplexing condition, and if so, the multiplexing is performed, where the fourth uplink channel is an uplink channel obtained by multiplexing the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel, and the fourth uplink channel carries information of the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 9B (B), the multiplexed uplink channel PUCCH #1 may be superimposed on the HP PUSCH 1, and similarly, it may be determined whether or not both satisfy the first multiplexing condition, and if both satisfy the first multiplexing condition, the both may be multiplexed.

Since the second uplink channel is a low-priority PUCCH and the third uplink channel is a high-priority PUCCH/PUSCH, the multiplexing process may refer to the aforementioned "multiplexing of a low-priority PUCCH and a high-priority PUCCH" and "multiplexing of a low-priority PUCCH and a high-priority PUSCH" manners, which are not described herein again.

Or, when the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel overlap and satisfy the first multiplexing condition, the following condition determination may be performed first: whether there is an LP PUCCH overlapping with the second uplink channel.

If the LP PUCCH overlapped with the second uplink channel does not exist, multiplexing between the second uplink channel and a third uplink channel is carried out;

and if the LP PUCCH overlapped with the second uplink channel exists, multiplexing the second uplink channel and the LP PUCCH, and if the uplink channel obtained after multiplexing is still overlapped with the third uplink channel and meets the first multiplexing condition, multiplexing the second uplink channel and the LP PUCCH.

The condition judgment process can be understood as follows: and when the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel meet the first multiplexing condition, determining that the second uplink channel is the final multiplexed uplink channel obtained by multiplexing the LP PUCCH in the first target uplink channel set as described above, and multiplexing the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel.

Or, when the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel overlap and the first multiplexing condition is satisfied, the following condition determination may be performed first: whether there is an LP PUSCH overlapping with the second uplink channel.

If the LP PUSCH overlapped with the second uplink channel does not exist, multiplexing between the second uplink channel and a third uplink channel is carried out;

and if the LP PUSCH overlapped with the second uplink channel exists, multiplexing the second uplink channel and the LP PUSCH, and if the uplink channel obtained after multiplexing is still overlapped with the third uplink channel and meets the first multiplexing condition, multiplexing the second uplink channel and the LP PUSCH.

The above condition judgment process can also be understood as: when the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel satisfy the first multiplexing condition, it is determined that the second uplink channel is the final multiplexed uplink channel obtained by multiplexing the uplink channels in the first target uplink channel set as described above, and after the LP PUSCH overlapped with the second uplink channel is multiplexed, the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel are multiplexed.

4032. A third uplink channel with a second priority level overlapped with the second uplink channel, and when the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel do not satisfy the first multiplexing condition and satisfy condition 2, a fourth uplink channel is determined, where the fourth uplink channel is used to carry part of information carried by the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel, and condition 2 is: one uplink channel is cancelled and the other uplink channel is reserved.

The third uplink channel may be HP PUCCH and HP PUSCH.

When the first multiplexing condition is not satisfied between the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel, and the condition that transmission of one uplink channel is cancelled and another uplink channel is reserved is satisfied, because the second uplink channel is the LP PUCCH, the second uplink channel may be cancelled in this case, and the obtained fourth uplink channel is the third uplink channel, that is, the fourth uplink channel is used for carrying information carried by the third uplink channel. And the second uplink channel is cancelled under the condition that the conditions of canceling the transmission of one uplink channel and reserving the other uplink channel are met.

As described in the foregoing embodiment, the third uplink channel may be multiple high-priority uplink channels overlapping with the second uplink channel, and when it is determined that the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel satisfy the multiplexing condition, it may be considered that the second uplink channel and all the third uplink channels both satisfy the multiplexing condition, that is, assuming that one of the second uplink channel and the multiple third uplink channels does not satisfy the multiplexing condition, it is considered that the multiplexing condition between the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel is not satisfied. Correspondingly, any one of the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel meets the condition of canceling the transmission of one uplink channel, and when the other uplink channel is reserved, the transmission of the second uplink channel is canceled. Optionally, the fourth uplink channel is obtained as a third uplink channel.

Or, the third uplink channel may be an earliest uplink channel in a time domain among multiple high-priority uplink channels overlapped with the second uplink channel, and/or a channel occupying most time domain resources. The two methods can be used for judging and processing whether the multiplexing condition is met or not independently.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, the overlapping between the low-priority PUCCHs is processed to obtain the first multiplexing uplink channel, and then the overlapping with the high-priority uplink channel is performed, so that the frequency of the overlapping processing between the low-priority PUCCH and the high-priority uplink channel can be reduced, the processing complexity is further reduced, and the processing efficiency is improved.

In the foregoing process, after the processing of the overlapped low-priority PUCCH is completed by dividing the first uplink channel set, there may be a case of overlapping with the low-priority PUSCH, so as shown in fig. 9D, fig. 9D is a flowchart of another channel processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 9D, the method further includes:

404. multiplexing the first multiplexing uplink channel and the overlapped low-priority PUSCH to obtain a new multiplexing uplink channel, wherein the first multiplexing uplink channel is obtained after multiplexing the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set.

Optionally, the first multiplexed uplink channel may be a multiplexed uplink channel obtained after the first target uplink channel is processed iteratively. As described in the foregoing 402, details are omitted.

The first multiplexing uplink channel is LP PUCCH, and when the first multiplexing uplink channel overlaps LP PUSCH, the LP PUCCH and the LP PUSCH are multiplexed according to a low-priority uplink channel multiplexing rule, and the low-priority PUCCH and the low-priority PUSCH are multiplexed to obtain a low-priority PUSCH.

Then, for step 402, a second uplink channel is determined, where the second uplink channel is used to carry part or all of the information carried by the uplink channels in the first channel set, or also carries information of a low-priority PUSCH.

That is, the second uplink channel is used for carrying information carried by the uplink channel in the first channel set and also carrying information of the low-priority PUSCH, and at this time, the second uplink channel is a multiplexed uplink channel obtained after multiplexing the first multiplexed uplink channel and the LP PUSCH.

For step 4031:

4031. and determining a fourth uplink channel under the condition that the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel meet the first multiplexing condition, wherein the fourth uplink channel is used for carrying information carried by the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel.

When the second uplink channel is the LP PUSCH, similarly, under the condition that the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel are overlapped and satisfy the first multiplexing condition, the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel may be multiplexed to obtain a fourth uplink channel, and the fourth uplink channel is used for carrying information carried by the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel.

Or, when the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel overlap and satisfy the first multiplexing condition, the following condition determination may be performed first: whether there is an LP PUSCH overlapping with the second uplink channel.

if LP PUSCH overlapped with the second uplink channel exists, multiplexing of the second uplink channel and the LP PUSCH is processed first, and if the uplink channel obtained after multiplexing is still overlapped with the third uplink channel and meets the first multiplexing condition, multiplexing of the second uplink channel and the LP PUSCH is performed.

The condition judgment process can be understood as follows: and when the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel meet the first multiplexing condition, multiplexing the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel under the condition that the second uplink channel is determined to be a final multiplexing uplink channel obtained by multiplexing all LP PUCCHs and LP PUSCHs in the first target uplink channel set.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the overlapping between the PUCCH with low priority is processed first to obtain the first multiplexed uplink channel, and then the overlapping between the first multiplexed uplink channel and the PUSCH with low priority is processed to obtain the final multiplexed uplink channel, and then the overlapping between the multiplexed uplink channel and the uplink channel with high priority is processed finally.

The third uplink channel is a high-priority PUCCH or a high-priority PUSCH. And if possible, the third uplink channel is an uplink channel obtained after the uplink channel with the high priority is divided into the second uplink channel set for multiplexing.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 9E, for another channel processing method provided in this embodiment of the present application, the method may further include:

405. and determining a second uplink channel set, wherein the second uplink channel set comprises a fifth uplink channel and at least one other uplink channel overlapped with the fifth uplink channel, and the uplink channel in the second uplink channel set is a PUCCH corresponding to a second priority.

Optionally, the uplink channels included in the second uplink channel set are all high priority.

Optionally, other uplink channels in the second uplink channel set except the second uplink channel are all overlapped with the second uplink channel.

406. And determining a third uplink channel, wherein the third uplink channel is used for carrying part of or all of the information carried by the uplink channels in the second uplink channel set.

The third channel may be a second multiplexed uplink channel, an uplink channel in the second uplink channel set, or a middle uplink channel obtained by multiplexing a part of uplink channels in the second uplink channel set, where the second multiplexed uplink channel is an uplink channel obtained by multiplexing uplink channels in the second uplink channel set.

Firstly, a fifth uplink channel is determined, then a second uplink channel set is divided by taking the fifth uplink channel as a reference, and other uplink channels except the fifth uplink channel in the second uplink channel set are overlapped with the fifth uplink channel.

Specifically, referring to fig. 9F, fig. 9F is a schematic diagram of a second uplink channel set provided in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 9F, first, the second uplink channel set is determined based on a fifth uplink channel, where the fifth uplink channel is a high-priority PUCCH, and corresponds to the HP PUCCH10 in fig. 9F, the second uplink channel set may further include at least one high-priority PUCCH overlapping with the fifth uplink channel, as shown in fig. 9F, and the second uplink channel set 1 further includes an HP PUCCH 11 and an HP PUCCH 12, where both the HP PUCCH 11 and the HP PUCCH 12 overlap with the HP PUCCH10 and both correspond to a high priority.

Optionally, the fifth uplink channel may be a selected one of the second target uplink channel sets composed of all high-priority PUCCHs corresponding to a time unit, for example, the fifth uplink channel may be the earliest channel in the time domain, or the fifth uplink channel may occupy the most time domain resources, or the fifth uplink channel may simultaneously satisfy the earliest channel in the time domain and occupy the most time domain resources.

For example, the HP PUCCH 10 in fig. 9F is one of the SET2 that occupies the most time domain resources.

Alternatively, the second set of uplink channels may be a plurality of sets divided from the second target set of uplink channels. After the first uplink channel set is divided by the first fifth uplink channel set, a second fifth uplink channel is determined from the remaining uplink channels of the second target uplink channel set, and the second uplink channel set is divided by taking the second fifth uplink channel as a reference.

For example, in fig. 9F, after the second uplink channel SET 1 is determined based on the HP PUCCH 10, assuming that the second uplink channel SET is a plurality of SETs divided from the second target uplink channel SET, the first uplink channel 2, that is, the HP PUCCH20, is determined in the SET2 and is the earliest time-domain one of the remaining uplink channels of the SET 2. After determining the HP PUCCH20, all high priority PUCCHs overlapping with it are acquired to form a second uplink channel set2, and so on until no more high priority PUCCHs overlapping with each other are included.

Optionally, the second set of uplink channels is a plurality of sets obtained iteratively from a second target set of uplink channels. After dividing the first second uplink channel set by the first fifth uplink channel set, multiplexing to obtain a multiplexing uplink channel, then combining the multiplexing uplink channel and the remaining uplink channels in the second target uplink channel set into a new second target uplink channel set, selecting a second fifth uplink channel from the new second target uplink channel set, and dividing the second uplink channel set by taking the second fifth uplink channel as a reference. And iterating until the new second target uplink channel set does not comprise the uplink channels which are overlapped with each other any more.

Optionally, it is assumed that the second uplink channel SET is a plurality of SETs obtained by iteration from the second target uplink channel SET, then the second multiplexing uplink channel and the remaining HP PUCCHs in the second target uplink channel SET together form a new second target uplink channel SET2', and then one second uplink channel 2 is selected from the new second target uplink channel SET, and the second uplink channel SET2 is divided by using the second uplink channel 2 as a reference. And iterating until a set of mutually overlapping high priority PUCCHs is no longer included.

And after the second uplink channel set is determined, multiplexing all uplink channels in the second uplink channel set to obtain a second multiplexing uplink channel. Since the uplink channels in the second uplink channel set are all high priority PUCCHs, the second multiplexed uplink channel may also be a high priority PUCCH, for example, corresponding to the second uplink channel set 1 in fig. 9F, and PUCCH #3 is obtained after multiplexing, and similarly, PUCCH #4 is obtained after multiplexing by the second uplink channel set2, and both are high priority PUCCHs.

Or as shown in (c) of fig. 9F, the second uplink channel SET 1 is multiplexed to obtain a PUCCH #3, which forms a SET2 'with other uplink channels in the second target uplink channel SET2 except the second uplink channel SET 1, a fifth uplink channel 2, that is, PUCCH #3, may be determined from the SET2', and the second uplink channel SET2 is divided by PUCCH #3, which further includes HP PUCCH 20, and then the multiplexing of the two uplink channels is performed to obtain a multiplexed uplink channel, and the second target uplink channel SET is iteratively processed until no overlapping high priority PUCCH is included.

The third uplink channel obtained in step 406 may have a difference in the specific process when step 403 is performed.

In this embodiment of the present application, when the third uplink channel is an uplink channel obtained in the second uplink channel set processing process.

The second uplink channel may overlap with the high priority uplink channel. The method specifically comprises the following steps: the obtained second multiplexed uplink channel may overlap with the second uplink channel. Or the uplink channels in the second uplink channel set are not completely multiplexed, but the fifth uplink channel overlaps with the second uplink channel with a middle uplink channel generated after multiplexing of one or more uplink channels, or one uplink channel in the second uplink channel set is not multiplexed yet, and also overlaps with the second uplink channel.

The second multiplexed uplink channel is obtained after all uplink channels in the second uplink channel set are multiplexed, and means that the second multiplexed uplink channel may be a final multiplexed uplink channel obtained by multiplexing through multiple rounds of division of the second uplink channel set to obtain a multiplexed uplink channel, and then performing division of the second uplink channel set with the remaining uplink channels. In the second target uplink channel set in the time unit, no other HP PUCCH overlapping with the second multiplexed uplink channel exists.

As mentioned above, step 403 can be divided into two steps:

4031. and a third uplink channel with a second priority level overlapped with the second uplink channel, wherein a fourth uplink channel is determined under the condition that the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel meet the first multiplexing condition, and the fourth uplink channel is used for carrying information carried by the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel.

For example, as shown in fig. 9F (b), PUCCH #1 overlaps PUCCH #3, and PUCCH #2 overlaps PUCCH # 4. Similarly, it can be determined whether both satisfy the first multiplexing condition, and if so, multiplexing is performed to obtain a multiplexed uplink channel as a fourth uplink channel.

Or, when the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel overlap and satisfy the first multiplexing condition, the following condition determination may be performed first: whether there is an HP PUCCH overlapping with the third uplink channel.

If the HP PUCCH overlapped with the third uplink channel does not exist, multiplexing between the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel is carried out;

and if the HP PUCCH overlapped with the third uplink channel exists, multiplexing the third uplink channel and the HP PUCCH is firstly processed, and if the uplink channel obtained after multiplexing is still overlapped with the second uplink channel and meets the first multiplexing condition, multiplexing the first uplink channel and the second uplink channel.

The condition judgment process can be understood as follows: and when the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel meet the first multiplexing condition, determining that the third uplink channel is the final multiplexed uplink channel obtained by multiplexing the HP PUCCH in the second target uplink channel set as described above, and multiplexing the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel.

4032. A third uplink channel with a second priority level overlapped with the second uplink channel, and when the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel do not satisfy the first multiplexing condition and satisfy condition 2, a fourth uplink channel is determined, where the fourth uplink channel is used to carry part of information carried by the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel, and condition 2 is: and canceling the transmission of one uplink channel and reserving the other uplink channel.

In this embodiment, the third uplink channel is an HP PUCCH. When the first multiplexing condition is not satisfied between the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel, and the condition that the transmission of one uplink channel is canceled and the other uplink channel is reserved is satisfied, the second uplink channel is canceled in the case that the second uplink channel is the low-priority uplink channel. The obtained fourth uplink channel is the third uplink channel, that is, the fourth uplink channel is used for carrying information carried by the third uplink channel.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, after the second uplink channel is obtained by dividing the first uplink channel set for overlapping, the third uplink channel is obtained by dividing the set for overlapping the high-priority PUCCH, so that the frequency of cross-priority uplink channel processing is further reduced, the complexity and the time consumption of uplink channel processing are reduced, and the processing efficiency is improved.

In the foregoing process, after the processing of the overlapped high-priority PUCCH is completed by dividing the second uplink channel set, there may be a case of overlapping with the high-priority PUSCH, so as shown in fig. 9G, where fig. 9G is a flowchart of another channel processing method provided in this embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 9G, the method further includes:

407. And multiplexing the second multiplexing uplink channel and the overlapped high-priority PUSCH to obtain a new multiplexing uplink channel, wherein the second multiplexing uplink channel is an uplink channel obtained after the uplink channels in the second uplink channel set are multiplexed.

And the second multiplexing uplink channel is an HP PUCCH, and under the condition of overlapping with the HP PUSCH, the HP PUCCH and the HP PUSCH are multiplexed according to the high-priority uplink channel multiplexing rule, and the high-priority PUSCH is obtained after the high-priority PUCCH and the high-priority PUSCH are multiplexed.

Then, in step 406, a third uplink channel is determined, where the third uplink channel is used to carry part or all of the information carried by the uplink channels in the first channel set, or also carries information of a low-priority PUSCH.

That is, the third uplink channel is used for carrying information carried by the uplink channel in the second channel set and also carrying information of the high-priority PUSCH, and at this time, the third uplink channel is a multiplexed uplink channel obtained after multiplexing the second multiplexed uplink channel and the HP PUSCH.

For step 4031:

Optionally, when the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel are overlapped and meet the first multiplexing condition, the following condition may be determined first: whether there is an HP PUSCH overlapping with the third uplink channel.

If the HP PUSCH overlapped with the third uplink channel does not exist, multiplexing between the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel is carried out;

and if the HP PUSCH overlapped with the third uplink channel exists, multiplexing the third uplink channel and the HP PUSCH is processed firstly, and if the uplink channel obtained after multiplexing is still overlapped with the second uplink channel and meets the first multiplexing condition, multiplexing the third uplink channel and the HP PUSCH.

The above condition judgment process can also be understood as: and when the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel meet the first multiplexing condition, multiplexing the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel under the condition that the third uplink channel is determined to be a final multiplexing uplink channel obtained by multiplexing all HP PUCCHs and HP PUSCHs in the second target uplink channel set.

It is understood that, in the step of the embodiment in fig. 9E, step 404 may be included, or may not be included, that is, the manner of determining the second uplink channel should not limit the manner of determining the third uplink channel.

For step 4032:

4032. a third uplink channel with a second priority overlapped with the second uplink channel, and when the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel do not satisfy the first multiplexing condition and satisfy condition 2, a fourth uplink channel is determined, where the fourth uplink channel is used to carry part of information carried by the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel, and condition 2 is: one uplink channel is cancelled and the other uplink channel is reserved.

In this embodiment, the third uplink channel is an HP PUCCH or a PUSCH. When the first multiplexing condition is not satisfied between the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel, and the condition that the transmission of one uplink channel is canceled and the other uplink channel is reserved is satisfied, the second uplink channel is canceled in the case that the second uplink channel is the low-priority uplink channel. The obtained fourth uplink channel is the third uplink channel, that is, the fourth uplink channel is used for carrying information carried by the third uplink channel.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, after the second uplink channel is obtained by dividing the first uplink channel set for overlapping, the third uplink channel is obtained by dividing the set for overlapping the high-priority uplink channels, and the process further reduces the frequency of cross-priority uplink channel processing, reduces the complexity and time consumption of uplink channel processing, and improves the processing efficiency.

After determining the fourth uplink channel, the method may further include: 408. and determining a seventh uplink channel, wherein the seventh uplink channel is used for carrying information of the fourth uplink channel and information carried by the sixth uplink channel, or the information of the fourth uplink channel and partial information carried by the sixth uplink channel.

In the embodiment of the present application, the fourth uplink channel is an uplink channel obtained by multiplexing a low-priority uplink channel and a high-priority uplink channel, that is, a "mixed priority" uplink channel, and the sixth uplink channel may be a high-priority uplink channel or a low-priority uplink channel. When the sixth uplink channel is a low-priority uplink channel, the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel may be multiplexed under the condition that the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel meet the multiplexing condition, and since the fourth uplink channel carries information on the high-priority uplink channel, when the sixth uplink channel with the low priority is multiplexed, the fourth uplink channel may be equal to the high-priority uplink channel, and specific multiplexing rules of the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel may refer to the foregoing "multiplexing between the low-priority uplink channel and the high-priority uplink channel", which is not described herein again.

When the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel do not satisfy the multiplexing condition, and satisfy the condition of canceling the transmission of one of the uplink channels and reserving the other uplink channel, "make one on one", may be performed between the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel, and the specific rule may refer to the "make one on one" of the "hybrid priority" uplink channel and the "make one on one" of the low priority uplink channel described above, which is not described herein again.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present application, for an uplink channel (fourth uplink channel) with a "mixed priority" obtained after multiplexing, a sixth uplink channel that may exist in the uplink channel and may be overlapped with the uplink channel, similarly, multiplexing of the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel may be performed, or "making a first for a first" for the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel may be performed, which provides a processing manner for the uplink channel with the "mixed priority" and the uplink channels with the high priority and the low priority, so as to ensure sending of more important and more uplink control information and/or uplink data as much as possible, and further improve sending efficiency of the uplink control information and/or uplink data.

It should be noted that the first uplink channel set may be an empty set, that is, there is no LP PUCCH overlapping with each other, and then the LP PUCCH may be processed separately with the overlapping HP PUCCH or HP PUSCH, and the specific processing rule is described above.

Referring to fig. 10A, fig. 10A is a flowchart of another channel processing method according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 10A, the method includes the following steps:

501. the method comprises the steps that terminal equipment determines a first uplink channel set, wherein the first uplink channel set comprises a first uplink channel and at least one other uplink channel overlapped with the first uplink channel, and the uplink channel in the first uplink channel set corresponds to a PUCCH and/or PUSCH with a first priority;

502. the terminal equipment determines a second uplink channel, wherein the second uplink channel is used for bearing partial information or all information borne by the uplink channels in the first channel set;

503. determining a fourth uplink channel under the condition that a third uplink channel overlapped with a second uplink channel is included, wherein the fourth uplink channel is used for bearing information borne by the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel; or, the fourth uplink channel is used for carrying partial information carried by the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel; the second uplink channel is at least one of the following; a first multiplexed uplink channel; at least one other uplink channel in the first set of uplink channels; a middle uplink channel for bearing information of part of uplink channels in the first uplink channel set; the third uplink channel corresponds to a second priority, and the second priority is higher than the first priority.

In this embodiment of the present application, a first uplink channel set may be determined first, where an uplink channel in the first uplink channel set corresponds to a first priority (low priority), and a PUCCH and a PUSCH are not distinguished, that is, the low priority uplink channel in the first uplink channel may only include an LP PUCCH, may only include an LP PUSCH, and may also include both the LP PUCCH and the LP PUSCH. Similarly, the uplink channels in the first uplink channel SET are divided based on the first uplink channel, and the first uplink channel may be the earliest uplink channel in the time domain in the first target uplink channel SET 3; or the channel occupying the most time domain resources in the first target uplink channel SET, or simultaneously satisfying the earliest time domain and the most time domain resources occupied, or the first channel may be a PUCCH occupying the earliest time domain and/or the most time domain resources in the SET3, and the first target uplink channel SET is a SET composed of all low-priority uplink channels in unit time.

Specifically, referring to fig. 10B, fig. 10B is a schematic diagram of a first uplink channel set according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in (a) of fig. 10B, a first uplink channel set 1 includes a first uplink channel 1, which is an LP PUCCH 1. LP PUCCH 2 and LP PUSCH 1 are also included, where PUCCH 2 and PUSCH 1 both overlap with PUCCH 1. The first uplink channel set may be more than one, and optionally, the first uplink channel set may be multiple sets divided from the first target uplink channel set, that is, as shown in fig. 10B, the first uplink channel set 2 may also be included. Alternatively, the first uplink channel set may be a plurality of sets obtained iteratively from the first target uplink channel set.

And multiplexing all uplink channels in the first uplink channel set to obtain a first multiplexed uplink channel. In the multiplexing process, the LP PUCCH may be multiplexed first, and then multiplexed with the LP PUSCH. Since the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set are all low-priority uplink channels, the first multiplexed uplink channel is also a low-priority uplink channel, and may be a low-priority PUCCH or a low-priority PUSCH. For example, corresponding to the first uplink channel set 1 in fig. 10B, PUCCH #5 is obtained after multiplexing, and LP PUSCH #1 is obtained after multiplexing of the first uplink channel set 2.

The first multiplexed uplink channel obtained after multiplexing the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set may be overlapped with other uplink channels that are not previously divided into the first uplink channel set, or there may be overlap between the multiplexed uplink channels. The multiplexing process between the first multiplexed uplink channel and the other low priority uplink channel may be performed, for example, the multiplexing process between LP PUCCH #1 and LP PUSCH #1 may be performed, and the multiplexing rule between the two may refer to the multiplexing rule between the low priority PUCCH and the low priority PUSCH described above.

Or, after the first uplink channel SET 1 is multiplexed to obtain the PUCCH #5, the PUCCH #5 and the remaining non-multiplexed PUCCH in the first target uplink channel SET are combined into a new first target uplink channel SET3', and it is determined whether there are uplink channels overlapping with each other in the SET, if so, the first uplink channel 2 is selected again, the first uplink channel SET 2 is divided, and the next round of multiplexing is performed until it is determined that the first target uplink channel SET does not include the uplink channels overlapping with each other any more.

For the first case, the second uplink channel may carry information of a certain uplink channel in the first uplink channel set. Or, the second uplink channel is used to carry information of a middle uplink channel obtained after multiplexing the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set, that is, at this time, partial multiplexing is performed, and multiplexing of all channels in the set is not yet completed.

For the second situation, the second uplink channel is used to carry information of the first multiplexed uplink channel, and the first multiplexed uplink channel is obtained after all uplink channels in the first uplink channel set are multiplexed.

The second uplink channel may overlap with the high-priority uplink channel, and specifically includes: in the multiplexing process of the low-priority uplink channel, or after all the first-priority uplink channels are multiplexed, a situation that the high-priority uplink channel overlaps with the low-priority uplink channel may occur, that is, the second uplink channel overlaps with a third uplink channel, where the third uplink channel is the high-priority uplink channel.

The second uplink channel and the third uplink channel are overlapped, and in fact, when the third uplink channel is the PUCCH, step 503 may be divided into two steps:

5031. and when the third uplink channel is a PUCCH with a second priority, determining a fourth uplink channel under the condition that the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel meet the first multiplexing condition, wherein the fourth uplink channel is used for bearing information borne by the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel, the second uplink channel is a first multiplexing uplink channel, and the second priority is higher than the first priority.

5032. When the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel do not meet the first multiplexing condition and meet the condition of canceling the transmission of one uplink channel and reserving the other uplink channel, determining a fourth uplink channel, wherein the fourth uplink channel is used for bearing partial information borne by the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel, and the second uplink channel is a first multiplexing uplink channel and at least one other uplink channel in a first uplink channel set; a middle uplink channel for bearing information of part of uplink channels in the first uplink channel set; the second priority is higher than the first priority.

The timing relationship between the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel may be such that the first multiplexing condition is satisfied, in which case multiplexing between the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel may be performed. Multiplexing when the third uplink channel is PUCCH may be handled first. As described above, when the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel satisfy the first multiplexing condition, it may also be determined whether the second uplink channel is a channel obtained after all the low-priority uplink channels are multiplexed, and if not, the low-priority uplink channel is multiplexed first to obtain the first multiplexed uplink channel as the second uplink channel, and then multiplexed with the third uplink channel.

In some cases, as shown in (B) of fig. 10B, the multiplexed uplink channel PUSCH #1 overlaps with the HP PUCCH 1, and it is possible to determine whether both satisfy the first multiplexing condition, and if so, to multiplex both. And if the first multiplexing condition is not met, and the conditions of canceling the transmission of one uplink channel and reserving the other uplink channel are met, canceling the transmission of the HP PUCCH 1 and reserving the transmission of the LP PUSCH #1, or canceling the transmission of the LP PUSCH #1 and reserving the transmission of the HP PUCCH 1.

Alternatively, the LP PUCCH and the HP PUCCH may be overlapped after multiplexing, and both may be multiplexed similarly when the first multiplexing condition is satisfied. If the first multiplexing condition is not met and the conditions that the transmission of one uplink channel is canceled and the other uplink channel is reserved are met, performing 'one-and-one' operation, for example, canceling the transmission of the LP PUCCH and reserving the transmission of the HP PUCCH; or canceling the transmission of the HP PUCCH and reserving the LP PUCCH. Or cancel the LP PUCCH and the HP PUCCH, whichever is transmitted later.

As described in the foregoing embodiment, the third uplink channel may be a plurality of HP PUCCHs overlapped with the second uplink channel, and when it is determined that the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel satisfy the multiplexing condition, it may be considered that the second uplink channel and all the third uplink channels satisfy the multiplexing condition, that is, assuming that one of the second uplink channel and the plurality of third uplink channels does not satisfy the multiplexing condition, it is considered that the multiplexing condition between the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel is not satisfied. Correspondingly, when any one of the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel meets the condition of canceling one uplink channel and reserving the other uplink channel, the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel are 'printed with one and the same value'.

Or, the third uplink channel may be an earliest uplink channel in a time domain among multiple high-priority uplink channels overlapped with the second uplink channel, and/or a channel occupying most time domain resources. The two methods can be used for judging and processing whether multiplexing conditions are adopted independently.

In addition, the problem of overlapping between the high priority PUSCH and the second uplink channel also needs to be handled, so step 503 may further include: 5033. when the third uplink channel is a PUSCH corresponding to the second priority, determining whether other PUCCHs of the second priority overlapped with the second uplink channel exist;

5034. If yes, determining a fourth uplink channel, wherein the fourth uplink channel is used for carrying all or part of information of the second uplink channel and other PUCCHs with the second priority;

5035. and if not, determining a fourth uplink channel, wherein the fourth uplink channel is used for bearing all or part of information of the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel.

In some cases, as shown in fig. 10B (B), the multiplexed uplink channel LP PUCCH #5 and HP PUSCH1 are overlapped, and it is determined whether or not both satisfy the first multiplexing condition, and if both satisfy the first multiplexing condition, multiplexing of both is performed. And if the multiplexing condition is not met, and the conditions that one uplink channel is canceled and the other uplink channel is reserved are met, canceling the transmission of the LP PUCCH #5 and reserving the transmission of the HP PUSCH 1.

Alternatively, when determining that the PUCCH #5 overlaps the HP PUSCH1, it may be determined whether another HP PUCCH overlaps the PUCCH #5, and if no other PUCCH overlaps the PUCCH #5, it is determined that the two conditions satisfy the first multiplexing condition, the PUCCH #5 and the HP PUSCH1 may be multiplexed, and if it is determined that the two conditions do not satisfy the multiplexing condition, and it is determined that the condition of canceling transmission of one uplink channel and reserving another uplink channel is satisfied, the "make-and-keep-one" process may be performed between the two, which is specifically referred to the foregoing description of "make-and-keep-one" between the low priority uplink channel and the high priority uplink channel. If other PUCCHs are overlapped with the PUCCH #5, the problem of overlapping of other HP PUCCHs and the PUCCH #5 is firstly processed, and a fourth uplink channel is determined. And if the fourth uplink channel and the HP PUSCH1 are still overlapped, performing overlapping processing between the fourth uplink channel and the HP PUSCH 1.

Note that, in a normal case, the LP PUSCH #1 and the HP PUSCH do not overlap, and the network device avoids using such a calling method.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, all the low-priority uplink channels are divided into the first uplink channel set to be processed, so as to obtain the first multiplexing uplink channel, and then the first multiplexing uplink channel and the overlapped high-priority uplink channel are processed, so that the problem of overlapping with the high-priority uplink channel after multiplexing of all the low-priority uplink channels is completed can be solved, the probability of processing the overlapping problem of the uplink channels across priorities is reduced as much as possible, the complexity and the time consumption of processing the uplink channels are reduced, and the processing efficiency is improved.

In accordance with the processing of dividing the overlapped uplink channels with low priority into sets, the uplink channels with high priority can also be divided into sets to be overlapped first, and then the overlapping problem between the uplink channels with different priorities is processed. That is, the high-priority third uplink channel overlapping with the second uplink channel may be an uplink channel generated by multiplexing a plurality of mutually overlapping high-priority uplink channels.

Optionally, before step 503 of the method, step 504 may further be included to determine a third uplink channel, where the third uplink channel is a second multiplexing uplink channel, and the second multiplexing uplink channel is used to carry information of uplink channels in the second uplink channel set, and/or is a middle uplink channel carrying information carried by a part of uplink channels in the second uplink channel set, and the uplink channel in the second uplink channel set is an uplink channel corresponding to the second priority.

Wherein, the second uplink channel set includes a fifth uplink channel and at least one other uplink channel overlapped with the fifth uplink channel, and the uplink channel in the second uplink channel set corresponds to a second priority, the method further includes: and determining a second multiplexing uplink channel, wherein the second multiplexing uplink channel is used for bearing the information of the uplink channels in the second uplink channel set.

In line with the division of the overlapping uplink channels with low priority into sets for processing, the overlapping uplink channels with high priority may also be divided into sets for processing first, and then the overlapping problem between different priorities is processed. That is, the third uplink channel with high priority overlapped with the second uplink channel may be an uplink channel generated by multiplexing a plurality of mutually overlapped uplink channels with high priority. Specifically, referring to fig. 10C, fig. 10C is a schematic diagram of a second uplink channel SET according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 10C, a second uplink channel SET is determined based on a fifth uplink channel, where the fifth uplink channel is a high-priority PUCCH or PUSCH, and the fifth uplink channel may be an earliest uplink channel in a time domain in a second target uplink channel SET 4; or the channel occupying the most time domain resources in the second target uplink channel SET, or the channel occupying the most time domain resources and the earliest time domain resources in the time domain are simultaneously satisfied, or the first channel may be a PUCCH occupying the earliest time domain and/or the most time domain resources in the SET3, and the second target uplink channel SET is a SET composed of all high-priority uplink channels in unit time.

Corresponding to the HP PUCCH 1 in fig. 10C, the second uplink channel set may further include at least one high priority uplink channel overlapping with the fifth uplink channel, as shown in fig. 10C, the second uplink channel set 1 further includes an HP PUCCH 2 and an HP PUSCH 1, where the HP PUCCH 2 and the HP PUSCH 1 are both overlapped with the HP PUCCH 1. The second set of uplink channels may be more than one, and optionally, the second set of uplink channels may be a plurality of sets divided from a second target set of uplink channels, for example, the second set of uplink channels 2 in fig. 10C. Alternatively, the second uplink channel set may be a plurality of sets obtained iteratively from a second target uplink channel set.

And multiplexing the uplink channels in the second uplink channel set to obtain a second multiplexing uplink channel. The overlap between the HP PUCCH and the HP PUSCH in the second uplink channel set may be processed first, and then the overlap between the HP PUCCH and the HP PUSCH may be processed. The second multiplexed uplink channel may be one HP PUCCH or one HP PUSCH. For example, in fig. 10C, the second multiplexed uplink channel obtained by multiplexing the uplink channels in the second uplink channel set 1 is HP PUSCH #1, and the second multiplexed uplink channel obtained by multiplexing the uplink channels in the second uplink channel set 2 is HP PUCCH #1.

The third uplink channel overlaps with the second uplink channel, where the third uplink channel may be a second multiplexing uplink channel, or may be a middle uplink channel obtained by multiplexing a fifth uplink channel with a part of uplink channels in the second uplink channel set, that is, the uplink channels in the second uplink channel set are not completely multiplexed, and the network device calls the time-frequency position of the second uplink channel to overlap with the time-frequency position of the middle uplink channel. It should be noted that, at this time, the second uplink channel may be determined as the first multiplexed uplink channel, that is, assuming that the uplink channel in the first uplink channel set overlaps with the third uplink channel and meets the first multiplexing condition, the overlapping problem between the uplink channel and the third uplink channel may not be handled first, but the multiplexing in the first uplink channel set is ensured to be completed first, and if the multiplexing is not completed, the multiplexing is continued until the first multiplexed uplink channel is obtained. The uplink channels not multiplexed in the first uplink channel set and the intermediate uplink channels obtained by multiplexing part of the uplink channels may overlap with the third uplink channel, but after all the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set are multiplexed, the uplink channels may not overlap with the third uplink channel, so that the problem of overlapping between the uplink channels and the third uplink channel may not be solved.

Similarly, at this time, it may also be determined that the third uplink channel is the second multiplexed uplink channel, that is, assuming that the uplink channel in the first uplink channel set overlaps with the third uplink channel and meets the first multiplexing condition, it may be ensured that multiplexing in the second uplink channel set is completed first without dealing with the overlapping problem of the uplink channel and the third uplink channel, and if multiplexing is not completed, multiplexing is continued until the second multiplexed uplink channel is obtained. And then overlapping with a second uplink channel.

The overlapping processing of the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel, that is, the overlapping processing between the low priority uplink channel and the high priority uplink channel, may specifically refer to the foregoing related description, and is not described herein again.

After determining the fourth uplink channel, the method may further include: 507. and determining a seventh uplink channel, wherein the seventh uplink channel is used for carrying information of the fourth uplink channel and information carried by the sixth uplink channel, or the information of the fourth uplink channel and partial information carried by the sixth uplink channel.

In this embodiment of the present application, the fourth uplink channel is an uplink channel obtained by multiplexing a low-priority uplink channel and a high-priority uplink channel, that is, a "mixed priority" uplink channel, and the sixth uplink channel may be a high-priority uplink channel or a low-priority uplink channel. When the sixth uplink channel is a low-priority uplink channel, the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel may be multiplexed under the condition that the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel meet the multiplexing condition, and since the fourth uplink channel carries information on the high-priority uplink channel, when the sixth uplink channel with the low priority is multiplexed, the fourth uplink channel may be equal to the high-priority uplink channel, and specific multiplexing rules of the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel may refer to the aforementioned "multiplexing between the low-priority uplink channel and the high-priority uplink channel", which is not described herein again.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the overlapped low-priority uplink channel is divided into the first uplink channel set to be multiplexed to obtain the first multiplexed uplink channel, the overlapped high-priority uplink channel is divided into the second uplink channel set to be multiplexed to obtain the second multiplexed uplink channel, and then the overlapping processing of the first multiplexed uplink channel and the second multiplexed uplink channel is performed, so that the frequency of cross-priority uplink channel processing is further reduced, the complexity and the time consumption of uplink channel processing are reduced, and the processing efficiency is improved.

After determining the fourth uplink channel, the method may further include: 506. and determining a seventh uplink channel if a sixth uplink channel overlapped with the fourth uplink channel exists, wherein the seventh uplink channel is used for carrying the information of the fourth uplink channel and the information carried by the sixth uplink channel or the information of the fourth uplink channel and part of the information carried by the sixth uplink channel.

In the embodiment of the present application, the fourth uplink channel is an uplink channel obtained by multiplexing a low-priority uplink channel and a high-priority uplink channel, that is, a "mixed priority" uplink channel, and the sixth uplink channel may be a high-priority uplink channel or a low-priority uplink channel. When the sixth uplink channel is a low-priority uplink channel, the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel may be multiplexed under the condition that the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel meet the multiplexing condition, and since the fourth uplink channel carries information on the high-priority uplink channel, when the sixth uplink channel with the low priority is multiplexed, the fourth uplink channel may be equal to the high-priority uplink channel, and specific multiplexing rules of the fourth uplink channel and the sixth uplink channel may refer to the aforementioned "multiplexing between the low-priority uplink channel and the high-priority uplink channel", which is not described herein again.

If possible, the first uplink channel set may be an empty set, and the second uplink channel may also be an empty set, that is, there is no overlapping low-priority uplink channel and/or no overlapping high-priority uplink channel, and then the overlapping low-priority uplink channel and the overlapping high-priority uplink channel may be subjected to their own overlapping processing separately.

In the above embodiments, the description methods are all to perform overlapping processing of the same priority by dividing the set, and then perform overlapping processing of cross-priorities. In practice, the aggregation process may be divided according to the types of uplink channels, and then the overlapping process of different types of uplink channels may be performed. Specifically, referring to fig. 11A, fig. 11A is a flowchart of a channel processing method according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 11A, the method includes the following steps:

601. the terminal equipment determines a first uplink channel set, wherein the first uplink channel set comprises a first uplink channel and at least one other uplink channel overlapped with the first uplink channel, the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set are all PUCCHs, the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set correspond to a first priority and/or a second priority, and the second priority is higher than the first priority;

optionally, the uplink channels included in the first uplink channel set are all high priority; optionally, the uplink channels included in the first uplink channel set are all low priority; optionally, the uplink channels included in the first uplink channel set have both high priority and low priority.

602. The terminal equipment determines a second uplink channel, wherein the second uplink channel is used for bearing information borne by part of uplink channels in the first uplink channel set; or the second uplink channel is used for carrying information carried by all uplink channels in the first uplink channel set.

In this embodiment, a first uplink channel set may be determined first, where the first uplink channel set includes a first uplink channel and a PUCCH overlapping with the first uplink channel, regardless of whether the PUCCH is of a second priority (high priority) or a first priority (low priority).

Optionally, all uplink channels included in the first uplink channel set except the first uplink channel are overlapped with the first uplink channel.

Specifically, referring to fig. 11B, fig. 11B is a schematic diagram of a first uplink channel set provided in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 11B, the first uplink channel set 1 includes a first uplink channel 1, which is correspondingly an LP PUCCH1, and the first uplink channel set further includes an HP PUCCH1 and an HP PUCCH2, which are uplink channels overlapped with the LP PUCCH 1.

Optionally, the method further comprises: determining a first uplink channel, wherein the first uplink channel meets at least one of the following conditions: the first uplink channel is the earliest uplink channel in the time domain in the target uplink channel set, the first uplink channel is the channel occupying the most time domain resources in the target uplink channel set, and the channel with the second priority; the target uplink channel set is a set of all PUCCHs in one time unit.

That is, all PUCCHs in a time unit may form a target uplink channel set, and a first uplink channel is determined from the target uplink channel set, where the first uplink channel may be the earliest uplink channel in the time domain, the channel occupying the most time domain resources in the target uplink channel set, or simultaneously satisfy the earliest channel in the time domain and occupying the most time domain resources. Or the first uplink channel may be the earliest channel in the time domain in the PUCCH of the second priority, the channel occupying the most time domain resources, or simultaneously satisfy the earliest channel in the time domain and the channel occupying the most time domain resources.

As the HP PUCCH4 in fig. 11B, the earliest uplink channel in the time domain, or the channel occupying the most time domain resources, as the LP PUCCH1 in fig. 11B, may all be the first uplink channel.

And after the first uplink channel set is determined, processing the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set. And if the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set meet the first multiplexing condition, multiplexing the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set.

It should be noted that, when determining whether the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set satisfy the multiplexing condition, there are two meanings: (1) And judging whether the first uplink channel and all other uplink channels in the first uplink channel set meet the multiplexing condition.

When it is determined that the first uplink channel and the other uplink channels in the first uplink channel set satisfy the multiplexing condition, the first uplink channel and all the other uplink channels may be considered to satisfy the multiplexing condition, that is, assuming that the first uplink channel and one of the other uplink channels do not satisfy the multiplexing condition, the first uplink channel and the other uplink channels are considered to not satisfy the multiplexing condition.

And when the first uplink channel and other uplink channels in the first uplink channel set meet the multiplexing condition, multiplexing all uplink channels in the first uplink channel set. The PUCCHs with the same priority may be directly multiplexed, and the PUCCHs with different priorities may be multiplexed, specifically, refer to the aforementioned multiplexing of the low-priority PUCCH and the high-priority PUCCH, or other multiplexing methods, which is not limited in this application.

In this case, the second uplink channel obtained after multiplexing carries information carried by the uplink channel in the first uplink channel set.

(2) And judging whether the first uplink channel and the ith uplink channel in the first uplink channel set meet the multiplexing condition. The ith uplink channel may be an uplink channel in the first uplink channel set except for the first uplink channel, and specifically may be: except for the first uplink channel, the earliest uplink channel in the time domain occupies the channel with the most time domain resources, or simultaneously satisfies the channel which occupies the most time domain resources and is the earliest in the time domain. Or the first uplink channel may be the earliest channel in the time domain in the PUCCH of the second priority, the channel occupying the most time domain resources, or simultaneously satisfy the earliest channel in the time domain and the channel occupying the most time domain resources.

In this case, the processing may be performed independently according to whether or not the first multiplexing condition is satisfied between the two.

Similarly, PUCCHs of the same priority may be directly multiplexed, PUCCHs of different priorities may be multiplexed, which may be referred to as "multiplexing low-priority PUCCH and high-priority PUCCH" or other multiplexing manners.

In this case, after being multiplexed, the two overlapped uplink channels may no longer overlap with some uplink channels in the first uplink channel set, and then the second uplink channel obtained after multiplexing carries information carried by a part of uplink channels in the first uplink channel set.

Possibly, the uplink channels in the first set of uplink channels do not satisfy the first multiplexing condition, and satisfy the condition of canceling transmission of one uplink channel and reserving another uplink channel, the uplink channels in the set may be operated in a "high-order and low-order" manner.

Possibly, when the operation of "high, low and high" is performed, the processing between two overlapped uplink channels is performed, for example, if the first uplink channel and the ith uplink channel and the (i + 1) th uplink channel in the first uplink channel set do not satisfy the first multiplexing condition at the same time, and the transmission of one uplink channel is cancelled, and the other uplink channel is reserved, the operation of "high, low and high" of the first uplink channel and one of the uplink channels may be processed first, and then the overlapping processing may be performed according to the subsequent situation.

In a possible case, after the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set are turned "high and turned" low ", a part of uplink channels are reserved in the first uplink channel set, and then the second uplink channels are the reserved part of uplink channels. In a possible case, the reserved part of the uplink channels is an uplink channel, and the information carried by the part of the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set carried by the second uplink channel is the information carried by the uplink channel.

For example, in fig. 11B, it is assumed that LP PUCCH1 and HP PUCCH1 do not satisfy the multiplexing sequence, transmission of LP PUCCH1 is cancelled, HP PUCCH1 is reserved, and the second uplink channel is determined to be the HP PUCCH 1.

In a possible case, after the first uplink channel in the first uplink channel set is cancelled, the remaining uplink channels in the first uplink channel set are not overlapped with each other, or there is no uplink channel overlapped with all other uplink channels, and it may be considered that the processing of the first uplink channel set is completed. And subsequently, re-determining the first uplink channel set and performing overlapping processing on the PUCCH in the set.

After all mutually overlapped PUCCHs with different priorities are processed, the obtained second uplink channel may be a low-priority PUCCH, may be a high-priority PUCCH, or may be a "mixed priority" PUCCH including both the high-priority UCI on the high-priority PUCCH and the low-priority UCI on the low-priority PUCCH.

Optionally, the second uplink channel and the fifth uplink channel overlap, and the method further includes: and when the second uplink channel and the fifth uplink channel meet the first multiplexing condition, determining that the sixth uplink channel is used for bearing the information of the second uplink channel and the information of the fifth uplink channel.

Optionally, the second uplink channel and the fifth uplink channel overlap, and the method further includes: and when the second uplink channel and the fifth uplink channel do not meet the first multiplexing condition, the transmission of one uplink channel is canceled, and the other uplink channel is reserved, determining that the sixth uplink channel is used for bearing the information of the second uplink channel and part of the information of the fifth uplink channel.

After the processing of the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set is completed and the second uplink channel is obtained, there may be a fifth uplink channel overlapping with the second uplink channel, where the fifth uplink channel may be a low-priority uplink channel or a high-priority uplink channel. In the case that the second uplink channel is not the "hybrid priority" PUCCH, the following cases are included:

and the second uplink channel and the fifth uplink channel are uplink channels with the same priority, and can be directly multiplexed. The sixth uplink channel is used for carrying information of the second uplink channel and information of the fifth uplink channel.

When the second uplink channel and the fifth uplink channel are uplink channels with different priorities and meet the first multiplexing condition, multiplexing the second uplink channel and the fifth uplink channel may be performed, and the specific multiplexing manner may refer to the description of "multiplexing the low-priority uplink channel and the high-priority uplink channel", which is not described herein again. The sixth uplink channel is used for carrying information of the second uplink channel and information of the fifth uplink channel.

And when the second uplink channel and the fifth uplink channel are uplink channels with different priorities, the first multiplexing condition is not met, the transmission of one uplink channel is cancelled, and the other uplink channel is reserved, the high-order and the low-order are performed between the second uplink channel and the fifth uplink channel. The sixth uplink channel is used for carrying information of the second uplink channel and partial information of the fifth uplink channel.

When the second uplink channel is the "hybrid priority" PUCCH, the following cases are included:

assuming that the second uplink channel and the fifth uplink channel do not satisfy the first multiplexing condition, the processing may be performed according to any one or more of the following methods:

(1) Assuming that the fifth uplink channel is a high priority PUSCH

The second uplink channel is a PUCCH with "mixed priority", that is, the second uplink channel includes both the first UCI with low priority and the second UCI with high priority, and the processing manner includes:

a. And canceling the transmission of the second uplink channel and reserving the fifth uplink channel. The sixth uplink channel is a fifth uplink channel.

b. And canceling the sending of the first UCI on the second uplink channel, multiplexing the second UCI and the fifth uplink channel, and obtaining a sixth uplink channel which carries the information on the second UCI and the fifth uplink channel.

c. And judging whether the second uplink channel and the fifth uplink channel meet a second multiplexing condition, wherein the second multiplexing condition can correspond to a second multiplexing time sequence and is used for representing that high-priority UCI in the uplink channel with the mixed priority can be multiplexed with the high-priority uplink channel after the transmission of the low-priority UCI on the uplink channel with the mixed priority is cancelled. One can appreciate that there is sufficient time between multiplexing of the high priority UCI and the high priority uplink channel, then the high priority UCI can be multiplexed with the high priority uplink channel. The second multiplexing timing may be a different value than the first multiplexing timing, and the first multiplexing timing corresponds to satisfying the first multiplexing condition.

If the second uplink channel and the fifth uplink channel meet the second multiplexing condition, canceling the sending of the first UCI on the second uplink channel, multiplexing the second UCI and the fifth uplink channel, and obtaining a sixth uplink channel, wherein the sixth uplink channel carries the information on the second UCI and the fifth uplink channel;

And if the second uplink channel and the fifth uplink channel do not meet the second multiplexing condition, canceling the transmission of the second uplink channel and reserving the fifth uplink channel. The sixth uplink channel is a fifth uplink channel.

(2) Suppose that the fifth uplink channel is a high priority PUCCH

Assuming that the second uplink channel is a "mixed priority" PUCCH, that is, the second uplink channel includes both the first UCI with low priority and the second UCI with high priority, the processing manner includes one or more of the following:

a. canceling the sending of one channel with lower information priority in the UCI carried by the second UCI and the fifth uplink channel, wherein the information priority is as follows: ACK > CSI > SR, where > indicates a higher priority than; for example, if the second UCI is SR and the UCI carried by the fifth uplink channel is ACK, cancel the transmission of the second uplink channel and reserve the fifth uplink channel; the sixth uplink channel is a fifth uplink channel.

b. Canceling the transmission of one channel with later transmission time in the second uplink channel and the fifth uplink channel, for example, canceling the transmission of the second uplink channel and reserving the fifth uplink channel when the transmission time of the second uplink channel is later than that of the fifth uplink channel;

c. and canceling the transmission of the fifth uplink channel and reserving the second uplink channel. The second uplink channel carrying more uplink channel information may be considered higher in priority. The sixth uplink channel is the second uplink channel.

d. And canceling the sending of the first UCI, multiplexing the second UCI and the fifth uplink channel, and generating a sixth uplink channel, wherein the second UCI and the fifth uplink channel are carried on the sixth uplink channel.

e. Judging whether the second uplink channel and the fifth uplink channel meet a second multiplexing condition, if so, canceling the sending of the first UCI on the second uplink channel, multiplexing the second UCI and the fifth uplink channel to obtain a sixth uplink channel, and the sixth uplink channel carries the information on the second UCI and the fifth uplink channel;

(3) Suppose the fifth uplink channel is a low priority uplink channel

And canceling the transmission of the fifth uplink channel.

It is to be understood that the first uplink channel set may be an empty set, that is, there is no PUCCH overlapping with each other, and then the processing between the overlapping PUCCH and PUSCH may be performed directly.

After obtaining the sixth uplink channel, the terminal device may send the sixth uplink channel to the network device, and the network device determines, according to the generated scheduling information and the scheduling information sent to the terminal device, a time-frequency position of uplink information to be sent by the terminal device, and receives the uplink channel at the corresponding time-frequency position.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present application, by processing overlapping between PUCCHs first, including processing of PUCCHs with the same priority or processing of PUCCH with cross priority, since information carried on the PUCCH is uplink control information, multiplexing of two channels can be better performed, or priority of two channels can be better determined, pertinence and validity of uplink channel overlapping processing are improved, and in addition, after all PUCCH overlapping processing is completed, overlapping processing with the PUSCH is performed, so that unnecessary PUSCH channel processing can be reduced as much as possible, and transmission efficiency of uplink data is improved.

701. And the terminal equipment determines a target uplink channel set A and a target uplink channel set B. Wherein the uplink channels in the target uplink channel set a correspond to a first priority. And the uplink channels in the target uplink channel set B correspond to the second priority.

The determination method of the target uplink channel set a and the target uplink channel set B may also be understood as an acquisition method of the target uplink channel set a and the target uplink channel set B, and for the acquisition method, the determination method of the first uplink channel set described in step 301 may be referred to, or the determination method of the target uplink channel set described in step 301 may be referred to, and details are not repeated here.

For example, if there is one uplink channel with first priority in one time unit, the one uplink channel with first priority is the target uplink channel set a, and if there are multiple uplink channels with first priority in one time unit, the multiple uplink channels with first priority form the target uplink channel set a. If one time unit has one second priority uplink channel, the second priority uplink channel is a target uplink channel set A, and if one time unit has a plurality of second priority uplink channels, the plurality of second priority uplink channels form the target uplink channel set A. That is, all the uplink channels of the first priority in one time unit constitute the target uplink channel set a. And all the uplink channels with the second priority in one time unit form a target uplink channel set B.

In an alternative, the uplink channels of the first priority in one time unit form the target uplink channel set a. And the uplink channels with the second priority in one time unit form a target uplink channel set B.

In an optional manner, the uplink channel is a PUCCH, that is, a PUCCH with a first priority in a time unit forms the target uplink channel set a. The PUCCHs of the second priority within one time unit constitute a target uplink channel set B.

In one implementation, the uplink channel included in the target uplink channel set a is a PUCCH. Optionally, the uplink channel included in the target uplink channel set B is a PUCCH.

702. The terminal equipment determines at least one uplink channel C and at least one uplink channel D.

For at least one uplink channel C, the at least one uplink channel C is obtained from the target set a of uplink channels. Or, at least one uplink channel C is an uplink channel obtained by multiplexing the processing target uplink channel set a. At least one uplink channel C is used for carrying part or all of the information carried by the uplink channel in the target uplink channel set a. The process of determining at least one uplink channel C and at least one uplink channel D by the terminal device may also be understood as a multiplexing process of uplink channels with the same priority.

In one implementation, the uplink channel in the at least one uplink channel C may be an uplink channel included in the target uplink set a.

Optionally, the uplink channel C in the at least one uplink channel C may also be an uplink channel other than the uplink channel included in the target uplink channel set a, and in this case, it may also be understood that the at least one uplink channel C is an uplink channel after multiplexing of two or more uplink channels in the uplink channel set.

In an implementation manner, at least one uplink channel C is an uplink channel, and the terminal device processes the target uplink channel set a to obtain the uplink channel C. At this time, the uplink channel C is the processed uplink channel.

In another implementation manner, there are a plurality of at least one uplink channels C, and any two uplink channels C in the plurality of uplink channels C are not overlapped. At this time, it can also be understood that the terminal device processes the target uplink channel set a, and finally obtains a plurality of uplink channels that do not overlap with each other, that is, at least one uplink channel C.

Further, if the uplink channels included in the target uplink channel set a do not overlap. At least one uplink channel C is an uplink channel in the target uplink channel set a. Specifically, the uplink channels are not overlapped, which means that any two uplink channels are not overlapped.

For at least one uplink channel D, the at least one uplink channel D is obtained from the target uplink channel set B. Or, at least one uplink channel D is an uplink channel obtained by multiplexing the processing target uplink channel set B. The uplink channel D is used for carrying part or all of the information carried by the uplink channel in the target uplink channel set B. As for the relationship between the at least one uplink channel D and the target uplink channel set B, reference may be made to the relationship between the at least one uplink channel C and the target uplink channel set a, which is not described herein again.

At least one uplink channel C and at least one uplink channel D satisfy a multiplexing condition. Wherein the at least one uplink channel C and the at least one uplink channel D overlap.

In one implementation, when at least one uplink channel C and at least one uplink channel D overlap, the terminal device determines whether the at least one uplink channel C and the at least one uplink channel D satisfy the multiplexing condition.

In one implementation, the terminal device does not expect that at least one uplink channel C and at least one uplink channel D overlap, and the at least one uplink channel C and the at least one uplink channel D do not satisfy the multiplexing condition.

Correspondingly, for the network device, it may also be understood that the network device cannot schedule at least one uplink channel C and at least one uplink channel D to overlap, and the at least one uplink channel C and the at least one uplink channel D do not satisfy the multiplexing condition.

The multiplexing condition may be the multiplexing time sequence #1, or a time sequence relationship of multiplexing uplink channels with different priorities, or a time sequence relationship of multiplexing with the same priority, or a condition of other multiplexing time sequences, which is not limited in this patent.

It should be noted that, further, if the uplink channel in the target uplink channel set a overlaps with the uplink channel with different priority in the target uplink channel set B, the overlapping uplink channels with different priorities may meet or may not meet the multiplexing condition. Or it is understood that the multiplexing condition may only be valid for the multiplexed uplink channels of different priorities. For example, when the multiplexing condition may only be valid for the multiplexed uplink channels with different priorities, if the uplink channel A1 belongs to the target uplink channel set a and the uplink channel B1 belongs to the target uplink channel set B, before the terminal device determines at least one uplink channel C and at least one uplink channel D, if the uplink channel A1 and the uplink channel B1 overlap, the multiplexing condition may be satisfied or may not be satisfied therebetween. After the terminal device determines at least one uplink channel C and at least one uplink channel D, if the uplink channel C and the uplink channel D are overlapped, the uplink channel C and the uplink channel D need to satisfy the multiplexing condition. For another example, if the uplink channel A1 belongs to the target uplink channel set a, the uplink channel B1 belongs to the target uplink channel set B, and at least one uplink channel C does not include the uplink channel A1, and at least one uplink channel D does not include the uplink channel B1, when the uplink channel A1 and the uplink channel B1 overlap, the multiplexing condition may be satisfied, or the multiplexing condition may not be satisfied, and when the uplink channel C and the uplink channel D overlap, the multiplexing condition needs to be satisfied. Based on the above manner, only the multiplexing conditions are required to be satisfied between the obtained channels after multiplexing, and the scheduling limitation of the network equipment to the uplink channel is reduced.

As shown in fig. 15. Wherein the target uplink channel set a includes a low-priority PUCCH, i.e., LP PUCCH1 shown in the figure. The target uplink channel set B includes high priority PUCCHs, i.e., HP PUCCH1 and HP PUCCH2 shown in the figure. Only one uplink channel LP PUCCH1 is in the target uplink channel set a, so the processed uplink channel C is LP PUCCH1. And overlapping two uplink channels included in the target uplink channel set B, and multiplexing the HP PUCCH1 and the HP PUCCH2 to obtain an HP PUCCH3, wherein the HP PUCCH3 shown in the figure is an uplink channel D.

If the HP PUCCH3 and the LP PUCCH1 overlap, the HP PUCCH3 and the LP PUCCH1 are required to satisfy the timing relationship. Even if the HP PUCCH1 and/or the HP PUCCH2 and the LP PUCCH1 overlap, they may or may not satisfy the timing relationship.

703. And the terminal equipment multiplexes the uplink channel C and the uplink channel D.

Alternatively, the specific multiplexing mode may refer to "multiplexing between low priority and high priority uplink channels" described above.

Fig. 12 is a communication apparatus 700 according to an embodiment of the present application, which can be used to execute the method and the specific embodiment executed by the terminal device in fig. 8A to fig. 8B, and fig. 9A to fig. 9G. In one possible implementation, as shown in fig. 12, the apparatus 700 includes a processing module 701.

A processing module 701, configured to determine a first uplink channel set, where the first uplink channel set includes a first uplink channel and other uplink channels overlapping with the first uplink channel, and the other uplink channels except the first uplink channel in the first uplink channel set are all overlapped with the first uplink channel, and the uplink channels in the first uplink channel set all correspond to a first priority;

the processing module 701 is configured to determine a second uplink channel, where the second uplink channel is used to carry information to be carried by all uplink channels or information to be carried by a part of uplink channels in the first uplink channel set;

the processing module 701 is further configured to, when the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel overlap, and when the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel satisfy the first multiplexing condition, or when the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel do not satisfy the first multiplexing condition but a second priority corresponding to the third uplink channel is higher than the first priority, determine, according to the second uplink channel and the third uplink channel, a fourth uplink channel for carrying information carried on the second uplink channel and/or part or all of information carried on the third uplink channel.

In the embodiment of the application, the overlapping of the low-priority uplink channel is processed by dividing the first uplink channel set, and then the overlapping of the low-priority uplink channel and the high-priority uplink channel is processed, including multiplexing the low-priority uplink channel and the high-priority uplink channel, so that the sending efficiency of uplink control information and/or uplink data on the low-priority uplink channel is improved, the probability of cross-priority overlapping processing is reduced, and the processing complexity and the time consumption are reduced.
