Description

Communication method and uplink resource determination method Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a communication method and an uplink resource determining method.

Background technique

With the development of wireless communication technologies and the increase of traffic volume, the spectrum resources of wireless communication systems are increasingly scarce, which requires wireless communication systems to improve spectrum utilization, thereby time division duplexing (TDD) technology and carrier aggregation ( Carrier aggregation, CA) technology came into being.

In the TDD technology and the CA technology, there are multiple ACK/NACK responses corresponding to multiple downlink data that the terminal device needs to feed back to the network device in the same uplink control information (UCI), as shown in FIG. For an example of ACK/NACK acknowledgment of multiple downlink data in the same UCI in the TDD technology, in FIG. 1, the network device passes through three physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) resources. The three DCIs that are sent are indicated to the terminal device by three physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) resources. After receiving the three DCIs, the terminal device selects a target DCI that is better than the network device. The PDCCH resource occupied by the target DCI, for example, the last DCI sent by the base station and the PDCCH resource occupied by the last DCI, determine a physical uplink control channel configured by the network device for transmitting the UCI configured by the terminal device (physical uplink control channel) , PUCCH) resources. In this way, after the terminal device receives the downlink data through the three PDSCH resources, the downlink data is received on the PUCCH resource.

However, during the communication process, the DCI sent by the network device to the terminal device may be lost or the terminal device does not receive the situation. For example, the network device sends 3 DCIs to the terminal device, but during the transmission, the third DCI If it is lost, the terminal device only receives the first DCI and the second DCI. The terminal device does not know that the third DCI is lost. Therefore, the terminal device determines the PUCCH resource for transmitting the UCI according to the last received DCI, that is, the second DCI sent by the network device and the PDCCH resource occupied by the DCI. .

The last DCI received by the terminal device is not the last DCI sent by the network device, and the PDCCH resource occupied by the last DCI received by the terminal device is not the last PDCCH resource scheduled by the network device, and the terminal device determines The PUCCH resource used for transmitting the UCI is not the PUCCH resource that the network device actually indicates to the terminal device for transmitting the UCI, thereby causing the PUCCH resource to be determined incorrectly, causing conflicts with the PUCCH resources used by other terminal devices, and the network device may not receive the PUCCH resource. The ACK/NACK response fed back by the terminal device.

In the following, please refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic diagram of a possible network architecture according to an embodiment of the present application. The wireless communication system of Figure 2 can include a terminal device and a base station. The base station is configured to provide communication services for the terminal device and access the core network. The terminal accesses the network by searching for synchronization signals, broadcast signals, and the like sent by the base station, and performs downlink data and/or uplink data transmission between the base station and the terminal device.

It should be noted that, in the scenario shown in FIG. 2, only the interaction between one base station and one terminal device is taken as an example, and the application scenario of the present application should not be limited. In an actual network architecture, multiple base stations and multiple terminals may be included. For example, a terminal device may perform data transmission only with one base station, or may perform data transmission with multiple base stations. A base station can perform data transmission with one terminal device or data transmission with multiple terminal devices. This application does not specifically limit this.

In the prior art, referring to FIG. 3, the step of determining, by the terminal device, the PUCCH resource for transmitting the UCI according to the DCI sent by the network device and the PDCCH resource occupied by the DCI is as follows. The present invention mainly considers a case where a terminal device receives a plurality of DCIs and feeds back reception status of downlink data indicated by the plurality of DCIs on the same uplink PUCCH resource.

S301: The network device configures multiple PUCCH resource sets to the terminal device.

The network device allocates multiple PUCCH resources to the terminal device by using high-layer signaling, for example, RRC signaling, which is usually 4-8. For example, the PUCCH resource 1 indicates that the physical resource block 1 (Physical Resource Block, PRB) and the symbol 1 are used and used. PUCCH format0 transmits UCI, and PUCCH resource 2 indicates that PRB2 and symbol 2, symbol 3, symbol 4 and symbol 5 are occupied, and UCI or the like is transmitted using PUCCH format1. The multiple PUCCH resources are divided into four PUCCH resource sets according to the number of bits (2 bits) included in the PUCCH resource indicator field in the DCI, and the network device configures eight PUCCH resources for the terminal device as an example. Each PUCCH resource set contains two PUCCH resources, as shown in FIG.

S302: The network device determines a PUCCH resource used by the terminal device to send the UCI.

The network device determines one PUCCH resource from the plurality of PUCCH resources, and is used by the terminal device to send the PUCCH resource of the UCI. For example, the network device determines that the first PUCCH resource in the PUCCH resource set 01 sends the PUCCH resource of the UCI to the terminal device.

S303: The network device sends multiple DCIs to the terminal device on multiple PDCCH resources.

The network device sends the DCI to the terminal device on the multiple PDCCH resources to send the downlink data to the terminal device by using the PDSCH resource indicated by the DCI, and indicates to the terminal device that the UCI is used to send the UCI through the DCI and the PDCCH resource occupied by the last DCI. PUCCH resources. Each of the plurality of PDCCH resources is composed of a control channel element CCE. As shown in FIG. 5, it is assumed that the bandwidth of the control channel of the entire wireless communication system can be divided into 16 CCEs, which are respectively CCE0-CCE15. If the network device schedules 3 PDCCH resources, the first PDCCH resource can be composed of CCE0 and CCE1. The second PDCCH resource may be composed of CCE2, and the third PDCCH resource may be composed of CCE3 and CCE4, and the network device sends three DCIs on the three PDCCH resources. Each of the three DCIs includes, in addition to the information of the indicated PDSCH resources, an uplink control channel resource indicator (PUCCH resource indicator), where the indication information includes 2 bits, and the indication information is used to indicate to the terminal device. Which one of the four PUCCH resource sets configured by the network device is used, and the value of the indication information corresponds to the sequence number of the PUCCH resource set. For example, if the indication information is 01, the PUCCH resource set 01 is used. The formula for determining, by the terminal device, the PUCCH resource for transmitting the UCI according to the PDCCH resource occupied by the last DCI is as follows:

Where r is the sequence number of the PUCCH resource used for transmitting the UCI in the PUCCH resource set 01. Since each PUCCH resource set includes one or two PUCCH resources, for example, the network device configures eight PUCCH resources for the terminal device. Then, there are 2 PUCCH resources in each PUCCH resource set; if the network device configures less than 8 PUCCH resources for the terminal device, some PUCCH resource sets include only one PUCCH resource, and therefore, the value of the serial number is 0. , or 1; M is the number of PUCCH resources included in the PUCCH resource set, which is 1 or 2, where L is the aggregation level of the PDCCH occupied by the last DCI, which may be 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and C is the last The starting CCE sequence number of the PDCCH resource occupied by one DCI. If the network device schedules 3 PDCCH resources, the PDCCH resource occupied by the last DCI is the third PDCCH resource. To enable the terminal device to determine the first PUCCH resource in the PUCCH resource set 01, the network device needs to be controlled. The ratio of the initial CCE of the third PDCCH resource to the aggregation level of the PDCCH and the modulo-calculated value of M is 0. Therefore, if the network device controls the aggregation level of the third PDCCH resource to be 2, the third The sequence number of the start CCE of the PDCCH resource may be any one of 0, 4, 8, or 12. When the network device schedules the third PDCCH resource, the third PDCCH resource must be CCE0-CCE1, CCE4-CCE5. For one of CCE8-CCE9 and CCE12-CCE13, the network device may select one of the CRRC8-CCE1 according to the actual situation, for example, determining that the third PDCCH resource is CCE0-CCE1. The initial CCE sequence number and the aggregation level of the first PDCCH resource and the second PDCCH resource are not limited, and the network device can be arbitrarily configured, and then the network device sends three DCIs on the three PDCCH resources.

S304: The terminal device receives multiple DCIs on multiple PDCCH resources.

After receiving the DCI information, the terminal device determines the PUCCH resource used for transmitting the UCI according to the received DCI and the starting CCE sequence number of the PDCCH resource occupied by the last DCI and the aggregation level of the PDCCH resource. The specific determination method is as shown in the formula (1), and details are not described herein again.

However, due to the loss in the transmission process, the last DCI received by the terminal device is not the last DCI sent by the network device, and the PDCCH resource occupied by the last DCI received by the terminal device is not the network device. If the last PDCCH resource is scheduled, the PUCCH resource used by the terminal device to send the UCI is not the PUCCH resource that the network device actually indicates to the terminal device to send the UCI, thereby causing the PUCCH resource to be determined incorrectly, and sent by other terminal devices. The uplink resources of the UCI conflict, and the network device may not receive the ACK/NACK response fed back by the terminal device or receive an erroneous ACK/NACK response.

In this regard, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for determining an uplink resource, where the method includes: the network device sends downlink information to the terminal device on the N downlink resources, where the N downlink resources include at least two terminal devices that can determine the terminal device. a first downlink resource for transmitting an uplink resource of the uplink control information UCI, where the at least two first downlink resources are used to determine the uplink resource, or one of the at least two first downlink resources is used for Determining the uplink resource, where the downlink resource is a downlink control channel resource and/or a downlink shared channel resource; if at least two first downlink resources are downlink resources occupied by the first downlink information sent by the network device, and the network device sends The downlink resource occupied by the last downlink information, when the terminal device receives the K downlink information sent by the network device, if the K downlink information includes the first downlink information sent by the network device, the terminal device And determining, according to the downlink resource occupied by the first downlink information, an uplink resource used for sending the uplink control information UCI, otherwise The terminal device determines, according to the downlink resource occupied by the last downlink information received in the K downlink information, the uplink resource used for sending the UCI; if the at least two first downlink resources are the first one sent by the network device The downlink resource occupied by the downlink information and the downlink resource occupied by the second downlink information sent by the network device, when the terminal device receives the K downlink information sent by the network device, if the K downlink information includes the The first downlink information sent by the network device, the terminal device determines an uplink resource used for sending the uplink control information UCI according to the downlink resource occupied by the first downlink information, otherwise, the terminal device is configured according to the K downlink information. The received downlink resource occupied by the second downlink information sent by the network device determines an uplink resource used for sending the UCI, and after determining the uplink resource used for sending the UCI, the terminal device sends the UCI on the uplink resource. Therefore, the network device receives the UCI sent by the terminal device on the uplink resource.

In the foregoing technical solution, the network device first uses at least two first downlink resources to indicate an uplink resource that is used by the terminal device to send the UCI, so that when the terminal device receives the at least two first downlink resources, If any one of the downlink information is used, the uplink resource used for transmitting the UCI is determined according to the downlink resource that is received by the received downlink information, and the probability that at least two first downlink resources are simultaneously lost is low, so The terminal device determines the correct rate of the uplink resource used for transmitting the UCI, and does not conflict with the uplink resource that the other terminal device sends the UCI, and further improves the transmission reliability of the ACK/NACK response.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. In the following description, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application is applied to the application scenario shown in FIG. 2, where the terminal device is the UE, and the network device is the base station.

Referring to FIG. 6, the embodiment of the present application provides a communication method and a method for determining an uplink resource, and the process of the method is described as follows:

S601: The base station sends downlink information to the terminal device on the N downlink resources.

In this embodiment, the downlink resource may be a PDCCH resource and/or a PDSCH resource. Correspondingly, the downlink information may be DCI and/or downlink data, that is, the base station may send the DCI to the UE on the PDCCH resource, or may be in the PDSCH resource. The uplink data is sent to the UE. The base station may first send the DCI to the UE through the PDCCH resource, and send the downlink data to the UE through the PDSCH resource, or the base station simultaneously schedules the PDCCH resource to send the DCI and the PDSCH to the UE in different frequency domain locations. The resource sends downlink data to the UE. Certainly, the downlink resource may be an MPDCCH resource or the like. In the embodiment of the present application, the following resources are PDCCH resources and PDSCH resources as an example.

The base station communicates with the UE by scheduling PDCCH resources and PDSCH resources. For example, a time division duplexing (TDD) method or a carrier aggregation (CA) method may be used to communicate with the UE. The following is an example of the base station scheduling PDCCH resources and UE communication, and the two working modes are described:

1) TDD method:

The base station may schedule multiple PDCCH resources located in different or the same frequency domain location in different time domain locations, and send DCI information to the UE. As shown in FIG. 5, the base station schedules three PDCCH resources, where PDCCH resource 1 corresponds to slot 1 and frequency 1, PDCCH resource 2 corresponds to slot 2 and frequency 2, and PDCCH resource 3 corresponds to slot 3 and frequency 3.

2) CA mode:

The base station may schedule multiple PDCCH resources located on different carriers in the same time domain location, and send DCI information to the UE. As shown in FIG. 7, the eNB reserves three PDCCH resources, where PDCCH resource 1 is located on carrier 1, and PDCCH resource of carrier 1 is CCE0-CCE1, PDCCH resource 2 is located on carrier 2, and carrier 2 is occupied. The PDCCH resource is CCE4-CCE6, PDCCH resource 3 corresponds to carrier 3, and the PDCCH resource of carrier 3 occupied is CCE9. It should be noted that the numbers of the CCEs on the respective carriers may be independent of each other, that is, the carrier 1 corresponds to 9 CCEs, the CCE number of the PDCCH resource 1 is the sequence number in the 9 CCEs of the carrier 1, and the CCE of the PDCCH resource 2 The sequence number is the sequence number in multiple CCEs of carrier 2.

The base station sends the downlink data to the UE in the multiple PDCCH resources, and sends the downlink data to the UE on the PDSCH resource indicated by the DCI. The location of the PDSCH resource is similar to that in FIG. 5 and FIG. 7 , and details are not described herein again.

In this embodiment of the present application, the base station further needs to determine multiple PDCCH resources according to the resource that is used to send the UCI to the UE, and/or determine multiple PDSCH resources according to the resource that is used to send the UCI to the UE. For example, in a plurality of PDCCH resources, there are at least two first PDCCH resources, and the at least two first PDCCH resources are used to implicitly indicate, to the UE, uplink resources for transmitting UCI, by using the at least two first PDCCHs. The frequency domain resource of each PDCCH is determined to be the same as the PUCCH resource used by the UE to send the UCI, and the base station needs to determine the at least two first PDCCH resources according to the indicated UE transmitting the UCI resources, except the at least two first PDCCHs. The PDCCH resource outside the resource can be determined directly by the base station according to the actual usage of the downlink resource.

It should be noted that, the base station or the UE may determine, by using any one of the at least two first PDCCH resources, the uplink resource that the UE sends the UCI, or may determine, according to the at least two first PDCCH resources, the uplink resource that the UE sends the UCI. There are no restrictions in this application. In addition, the names of the at least two first PDCCH resources are only used to facilitate distinguishing from other PDCCHs in the N PDCCHs that are not used to determine the PUCCH resources, and the at least two first PDCCH resources may also be used. The name is not limited here.

In a possible implementation manner, when the downlink resource is a PDCCH resource, the at least two first PDCCH resources include: a first PDCCH resource of the N PDCCH resources and a last PDCCH of the N PDCCH resources a resource or a first PDCCH resource of the N PDCCH resources and a second PDCCH resource of the N PDCCH resources; or the last two PDCCH resources of the N PDCCH resources; or the N PDCCH resources Any three PDCCH resources; or any one of the N PDCCH resources, i is an integer greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to N. When the downlink resource is a PDSCH resource, the at least two first PDCCH resources are similar to the at least two first PDCCH resources, and details are not described herein again.

It should be noted that the at least two first PDCCH resources or the at least two first PDSCH resources may be agreed by the base station in advance with the UE, or specified by a standard, or static/semi-statically configured, or may be a base station. After the at least two first PDCCH resources or the at least two first PDSCH resources are determined, the indication information is indicated to the UE, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In a possible implementation manner, the uplink resource may be a PUCCH resource. Of course, if the UCI can be carried by other uplink resources, the uplink resource may also be other resources, and is not limited herein. For convenience of description, the uplink resource is described by taking the PUCCH resource as an example. The PUCCH resource may be configured by the base station in advance for the UE, as described in S301 in FIG. 3, and details are not described herein again.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the downlink resource is a PDCCH resource, the PDCCH resource includes one or more of a frequency domain resource, a time domain resource, a code domain resource, and a port number of the PDCCH, that is, the base station can pass the PDCCH. One or more of the frequency domain resource, the time domain resource, the code domain resource, and the port number, and the sequence number indicating the PUCCH resource used for transmitting the UCI is implicitly indicated to the UE. Specifically, the sequence number of the PUCCH resource used for sending the UCI may be implicitly indicated according to the frequency domain resource of the PDCCH and/or the starting position, the ending position, or the number of the time domain resource. The manner in which the base station indicates the sequence number of the PUCCH resource for transmitting the UCI may be as shown in the formula (1) in S303 in FIG. 3, where the base station determines the PUCCH resource used for transmitting the UCI through any one of the resources of the PDCCH. In the case of the sequence number, the definition of M in the formula (1) is unchanged, and is the number of PUCCH resources included in the PUCCH resource set indicated by the DCI transmitted in the PDCCH resource, and the definitions of the formulas C and L are based on the PDCCH resource used by the base station. The difference may be changed, and the parameter L may not be used in the formula (1). For example, when the base station can implicitly indicate the sequence number of the PUCCH resource used for transmitting the UCI through the frequency domain resource of the PDCCH, C is the starting CCE sequence number of the frequency domain resource of the PDCCH, or the ending CCE sequence number, or the number of CCEs, etc., L The aggregation level of the PDCCH, or the parameter L may not be used in the formula (1); when the base station can implicitly indicate the sequence number of the PUCCH resource used for transmitting the UCI through the time domain resource of the PDCCH, C is the time domain resource of the PDCCH. The start symbol, or the end symbol, or the number of symbols, etc., in this case, the parameter L may not be used in the formula (1); when the base station can implicitly indicate the sequence number of the PUCCH resource used for transmitting the UCI through the code domain resource of the PDCCH, C For the sequence identification of the code domain resource of the PDCCH, the parameter L may not be used in the formula (1); when the base station indicates the sequence number of the PUCCH resource for transmitting the UCI through the port number of the PDCCH, the calculation formula may become: r=Mod(Q,M), where Q is the port number of the PDCCH. When the base station uses the multiple resources of the PDCCH to indicate the sequence number of the PUCCH resource for transmitting the UCI, for example, the base station uses the frequency domain resource of the PDCCH and the port number to indicate the sequence number indicating the PUCCH resource used for transmitting the UCI, and then the calculation formula is used. It can be: r=Mod((C/L)+Q, M). Of course, other calculation formulas can also be used, and no limitation is imposed here.

When the downlink resource is a PDSCH resource, the PDSCH resource includes one or more of a frequency domain resource, a time domain resource, a code domain resource, and a port number of the PDSCH. The method for explicitly indicating the indication is the same as the PDCCH resource, and details are not described herein again.

It should be noted that the resource used by the base station to indicate the sequence number of the PUCCH resource and the calculation formula of the sequence number of each resource to determine the PUCCH resource may be pre-determined by the base station and the UE, or specified by the standard, or static/half The static configuration may also be indicated by the base station to the UE, and is not limited herein.

The manner in which the base station determines the at least two PDCCH resources is as follows: The base station may adopt any one of the following:

The first way:

The base station determines one PUCCH resource from the plurality of PUCCH resources, and transmits the PUCCH resource of the UCI to the UE. For example, determining that the first PUCCH resource in the PUCCH resource set 01 is a PUCCH resource for the UE to transmit UCI. If the base station indicates the sequence number of the PUCCH resource in the PUCCH resource set 01 by using the frequency domain resource of the PDCCH, the base station may determine, by using the method in S303, the frequency domain resource start of each PDCCH in the at least two PDCCHs. The CCE sequence number and the aggregation level of each PDCCH are such that the PUCCH resources used by the UE for determining the frequency domain resource of each of the at least two PDCCHs for transmitting the UCI are the same. Specific to the calculation formula, there are:

For example, the at least two PDCCH resources are the first PDCCH resource and the last PDCCH resource of the N PDCCH resources, so that the frequency domain resources of the first PDCCH and the last PDCCH are implicitly indicated in the PUCCH resource set 01. The first PUCCH resource can adjust the frequency domain resource of the first PDCCH to CCE0-CCE1 (L=2), and the frequency domain resource that modulates the last PDCCH is CCE2 (L=1).

The second way:

The base station does not need to determine, in advance, the PUCCH resource of the UCI sent by the UE from the multiple PUCCH resources, but determines the resources of the other PDCCHs of the at least two PDCCHs by using the first PDCCH resource of the at least two PDCCHs, so that the The frequency domain resource determined by each of the at least two PDCCHs is the same as the PUCCH resource used by the UE to transmit the UCI. For example, the at least two PDCCH resources are the first PDCCH resource and the last PDCCH resource of the N PDCCH resources, and the base station implicitly indicates the sequence number of the PUCCH resource in the PUCCH resource set 01 by using the frequency domain resource of the PDCCH. The base station may determine the frequency domain resource of the first PDCCH according to a normal scheduling algorithm. For example, the frequency domain resource of the first PDCCH is CCE2-CCE3 (L=2), and then the base station determines according to the frequency domain resource of the first PDCCH. The sequence number of the PUCCH resource whose implicit indication is 1. The base station determines that the sequence number of the PUCCH resource indicated by the frequency domain resource of the last PDCCH is 1, and the base station can determine that the frequency domain resource of the last PDCCH is CCE4-CCE7 (L). =4).

The manner in which the base station determines the at least two PDSCH resources is the same as the manner in which the at least two PDCCH resources are determined, and details are not described herein again.

After the base station determines N PDCCH resources or N PDSCH resources, the corresponding information is sent to the UE on the corresponding resource. Specifically, the manner in which the base station sends the corresponding information to the UE may be one of the following two situations. For example, the base station may send the DCI to the UE through the N PDCCH resources, and the base station may send the DCI on the PDCCH resource after determining one PDCCH resource, and then determine the next PDCCH resource; or the base station may determine N first. After each PDCCH resource in the PDCCH resource, DCI is then sent on the N PDCCH resources in sequence, which is not limited herein.

It should be noted that, when the downlink resource is a PDSCH resource, the principle of the processing mode of the base station is the same as that when the downlink resource is the PDCCH resource. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the case where the downlink resource is the PDSCH resource is not separately described.

S602: The UE receives K downlink information sent by the base station.

For convenience of description, the following line resources are used as PDCCH resources and downlink information is DCI as an example.

The UE performs a search in a Common Search Space (CSS) and a Specific Search Space (SSS) by means of blind detection, thereby acquiring DCI sent by the base station.

It should be noted that although the base station sends N DCIs to the UE, the UE may not receive all of them. For example, the UE only receives N-1 DCIs. Therefore, K is less than or equal to N, and K is greater than or equal to zero.

After receiving the DCI sent by the base station, the UE determines a PUCCH resource for transmitting the UCI by using one of the at least two PDCCH resources that carry the DCI. The manner in which the UE determines the PUCCH resource for transmitting the UCI is different according to the fact that the at least two PDCCH resources are the specific ones of the N PDCCH resources, and is mainly divided into the following four manners.

In a first determining manner, the at least two first downlink resources are the first PDCCH resource of the N PDCCH resources and the last PDCCH resource of the N PDCCH resources; or the at least two first downlink resources are The first PDCCH resource, the second last PDCCH resource, and the last PDCCH resource of the N PDCCH resources:

S603: If the K downlink information includes the first downlink information sent by the base station, the UE determines the PUCCH resource used for sending the UCI according to the downlink resource occupied by the first downlink information.

After receiving the K DCIs, the UE determines whether to receive the first DCI sent by the base station according to the downlink downlink assignment index (DAI) and/or the total DAI carried in the DCI. The following is an example of counter DAI. Specifically, when the UE receives the first DCI, the value of the counter DAI in the DCI is obtained. When the value is 1, the DCI is the first DCI sent by the base station, and then the UE is The value of the PUCCH resource indicator included in the received first DCI determines a PUCCH resource set in which the PUCCH resource of the UCI is transmitted, and then determines, according to the received PDCCH resource occupied by the first DCI, the UCI for transmitting the UCI. The sequence number of the PUCCH resource in the PUCCH resource set. The PDCCH resource includes any one or more of a frequency domain resource, a time domain resource, a code domain resource, and a port number of the PDCCH, and the base station performs an implicit indication according to the pre-agreed resource or the base station indicates the use to the UE. For example, after the UE obtains the corresponding PDCCH resource, the UE determines the sequence number of the PUCCH resource according to the method described in S601, and details are not described herein again.

S604: If the K downlink information does not include the first downlink information sent by the base station, the UE determines the PUCCH resource used for sending the UCI according to the downlink resource occupied by the last received downlink information in the K downlink information.

When the UE receives the first DCI, the value of the counter DAI in the DCI is obtained. When the value is not 1, for example, 2, the first DCI received by the UE is the second one sent by the base station. DCI. Then, the UE determines the PUCCH resource for transmitting the UCI according to any one of the received multiple DCIs and the PDCCH resources occupied by the last DCI. The specific determination method is the same as that in S603, and details are not described herein again.

It should be noted that the UE performs S603 or S604 according to whether the first DCI sent by the base station is received, that is, S603 and S604 select one for execution. In FIG. 6, S604 is an optional step as an example.

If the base station determines a plurality of PDCCH resources according to the PUCCH resource used by the UE to send the UCI, the PUCCH resource implicitly indicated in the second to last PDCCH is controlled, and the first PDCCH resource and the last PDCCH resource are implicitly indicated. The method in the embodiment of the present application further includes:

S605: The UE determines the last downlink information sent by the lost base station.

The first PDCCH resource of the N PDCCH resources and the last PDCCH resource of the N PDCCH resources are included in the at least two first downlink resources, and the UE determines, by using S603, that the first DCI sent by the base station is received, If the UE determines that the PUCCH resource used for transmitting the UCI according to the first DCI is different from the PUCCH resource used by the UE to send the UCI according to the received last DCI, the UE determines the last DCI sent by the lost base station, because the UE The last DCI is lost, and the last downlink data sent by the base station is naturally not received from the last PDSCH resource indicated by the base station. Therefore, when the UE transmits the UCI, the NACK response to the last downlink data that is lost may be increased. In this way, when receiving the UCI, the base station can determine that the UE has lost the last downlink data without blind decoding.

It should be noted that S605 is optional, that is, it is not necessary to perform, that is, the UE may not be sure whether to lose the last DCI, that is, if the UE loses the last DCI but does not use the method of S605, the UE is transmitting. In the case of UCI, it is impossible to send a NACK response to the last downlink data that is lost, that is, the UWI lacks a response bit for the last downlink data, and the number of bits of the UCI is smaller than the number of bits of the UCI that the base station expects to receive. Therefore, the base station needs to perform a blind decoding when receiving the UCI to determine that the UE has lost the last downlink data.

S606: The UE sends the UCI on the PUCCH resource.

After receiving the K DCIs, the UE determines K PDSCH resources according to the K DCIs, and then receives the downlink data sent by the base station on the K PDSCH resources, and generates corresponding to each PDSCH resource according to the received downlink data. ACK/NACK response. For example, the UE may use K bits in the UCI to carry ACK/NACK responses with downlink data in the K PDSCH resources, where each bit characterizes an ACK/NACK response to the corresponding downlink data, eg, 1st The bit is an ACK/NACK response to the downlink data in the received PDSCH resource indicated by the first DCI, and the second bit is an ACK/NACK of the downlink data in the PDSCH resource indicated by the received second DCI. Answer, and so on. Of course, this is only one example of the UE feeding back an ACK/NACK response. In this application, there is no restriction on how the UE feeds back the ACK/NACK response.

For the second determination mode, refer to FIG. 8. The at least two first downlink resources are the first PDCCH resource of the N PDCCH resources and the second PDCCH resource of the N PDCCH resources:

S607: If the K downlink information includes the first downlink information sent by the base station, the UE determines the PUCCH resource used for sending the uplink control information UCI according to the downlink resource occupied by the first downlink information.

S608: If the K downlink information does not include the first downlink information sent by the base station, the UE determines, according to the downlink resources that are received by the second downlink information sent by the base station, to send the UCI. PUCCH resources. In Figure 8, S608 is optional.

When the UE receives the value of the counter DAI in the first DCI, if the value is not 1, the UE determines that the first DCI sent by the base station is not received, the UE determines whether the value is 2, if the value is If the value is 2, the DCI is the second DCI sent by the base station, and the UE determines the PUCCH resource used for sending the UCI according to the DCI and the PDCCH resource occupied by the DCI. The specific determination method is the same as that in S603. No longer.

It should be noted that the UE performs S607 or S608 according to whether the first DCI sent by the base station is received, that is, S607 and S608 select one for execution.

S609: The UE sends the UCI on the PUCCH resource.

S609 is the same as S606, and will not be described again here. It should be noted that the UE may determine, according to the counter DAI in the DCI, that the currently received DCI is the first DCI sent by the base station, and if the counter DAI of the first DCI received by the UE is 3, the UE determines that the UE does not receive the first DCI. The first DCI and the second DCI sent by the base station, that is, the UE does not receive the DCI sent by the base station by using any one of the at least two PDCCHs, the UE may choose not to send the UCI.

In a third determining manner, when at least two first downlink resources are the last two PDCCH resources of the N PDCCH resources, the UE directly according to any one of the received DC DCIs and the last received one. The occupied PDCCH resources of the DCI determine an uplink resource for transmitting UCI.

In this case, if the base station determines a plurality of PDCCH resources according to the PUCCH resource used by the UE to transmit the UCI, the PUCCH resource implicitly indicated in the third PDCCH is controlled, and the last two PDCCH resources are implicitly used. If the indicated PUCCH resources are different, the method in the embodiment of the present application further includes:

If the PUCCH resource used by the UE to transmit the UCI according to the received penultimate DCI is different from the PUCCH resource used by the UE to transmit the UCI according to the received last DCI, the UE determines the last DCI sent by the lost base station. Therefore, when the UE is transmitting the UCI, the NACK response to the last downlink data that is lost can be increased, so that the base station can determine that the UE has lost the last downlink data without blind decoding when receiving the UCI.

In a fourth mode, referring to FIG. 9, the at least two first downlink resources are the first PDCCH resource, the second PDCCH resource, and the last PDCCH resource of the N PDCCH resources:

S610: If the K downlink information includes the first downlink information sent by the base station, the UE determines the PUCCH resource used for sending the uplink control information UCI according to the downlink resource occupied by the first downlink information.

S611: If the K downlink information does not include the first downlink information sent by the base station, the UE determines, according to the downlink resources that are received by the second downlink information sent by the base station, to send the UCI. PUCCH resources;

S610-S611 is the same as S607-S608, and details are not described herein again.

S612: If the UE determines that the first DCI and the second DCI sent by the base station are not received, determining, according to the downlink resource occupied by the last DCI received, the PUCCH resource used for sending the UCI.

When the UE determines that the first DCI and the second DCI sent by the base station are not received by using the value of the counter DAI in the DCI, the UE is configured according to any DCI of the received multiple DCIs and the PDCCH resources occupied by the last DCI. The method for determining the PUCCH resource for sending the UCI is the same as that in S603, and details are not described herein again.

It should be noted that, if the base station determines the multiple PDCCH resources according to the indication to the PUCCH resource used by the UE to send the UCI, and controls the PUCCH resources implicitly indicated by each of the N PDCCHs to be the same, the UE may receive the The PDCCH resources occupied by any one of the received DCIs determine the PUCCH resources used to transmit the UCI.

In the foregoing technical solution, the network device first uses at least two downlink resources to indicate an uplink resource that is used by the terminal device to send the UCI, so that when the terminal device receives any downlink information on the at least two downlink resources, The uplink resource used for transmitting the UCI is determined according to the received downlink resource, and the probability that the at least two downlink resources are simultaneously lost is low. Therefore, the terminal device can determine the uplink for sending the UCI. The correct rate of resources does not conflict with the uplink resources of other terminal devices transmitting UCI, and the transmission reliability of the ACK/NACK response can be further improved.
