Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The present disclosure provides a method for processing uplink control information (UCI) and a terminal. The method for processing UCI includes: determining the UCI which overlaps with a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) resource in time domain according to the PUSCH resource; determining whether to transmit the UCI, and performing corresponding processing based on a determination result. The present disclosure realizes effective transmission of UCI to be transmitted, and improves transmission efficiency.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, information on a priority for an uplink transmission;
identifying that a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission are overlapped in time; and
transmitting, to the base station, an uplink signal for one of the PUCCH transmission and the PUSCH transmission based on the information on the priority,
wherein the PUSCH transmission includes a grant free (GF) transmission without dynamic scheduling, and the PUCCH transmission includes an acknowledgement or a negative acknowledgment (ACK/NACK) transmission,
wherein the information on the priority for the GF transmission is configured based on configuration information for the GF transmission, and
wherein, in case that a type 1 GF transmission and a type 2 transmission are configured by the base station,
a priority configured for the type 1 GF transmission is higher than a priority of an acknowledgement or a negative acknowledgment (ACK/NACK) transmission, and the priority of the ACK/NACK transmission is higher than a priority configured for the type 2 GF transmission.

2. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the PUCCH transmission further includes a scheduling request (SR) transmission.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting an uplink signal for one of the PUCCH transmission and the PUSCH transmission further comprises:
performing the PUCCH transmission of a high priority, in case that the PUCCH transmission of the high priority overlaps in time with the PUSCH transmission of a low priority.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting an uplink signal for one of the PUCCH transmission and the PUSCH transmission further comprises:
performing the PUSCH transmission of a high priority, in case that the PUSCH transmission of the high priority overlaps in time with the PUCCH transmission of a low priority.

5. The method of claim 2 ,
wherein, in case that a plurality of SR resources are configured by the base station, the information on the priority for each SR transmission is determined based on information configuring each SR resource among the plurality of the SR resources.

6. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a terminal, information on a priority for an uplink transmission; and
receiving, from the terminal, an uplink signal for one of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission based on the information on the priority, in case that the PUCCH transmission and the PUSCH transmission are overlapped in time,
wherein the PUSCH transmission includes a grant free (GF) transmission without dynamic scheduling, and the PUCCH transmission includes an acknowledgement or a negative acknowledgment (ACK/NACK) transmission,
wherein the information on the priority for the GF transmission is configured based on configuration information for the GF transmission, and
wherein, in case that the base station configures a type 1 GF transmission and a type 2 GF transmission for the terminal
a priority configured for the type 1 GF transmission is higher than a priority of an acknowledgement or a negative acknowledgment (ACK/NACK) transmission, and the priority of the ACK/NACK transmission is higher than a priority configured for the Type 2 GF transmission.

7. The method of claim 6 ,
wherein the PUCCH transmission further includes a scheduling request (SR) transmission.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein receiving an uplink signal for one of the PUCCH transmission and the PUSCH transmission further comprises:
receiving, from the terminal, the PUCCH transmission of a high priority, in case that the PUCCH transmission of the high priority overlaps in time with the PUSCH transmission of a low priority.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein receiving an uplink signal for one of the PUCCH transmission and the PUSCH transmission further comprises:
receiving, from the terminal, the PUSCH transmission of a high priority, in case that the PUSCH transmission of the high priority overlaps in time with the PUCCH transmission of a low priority.

10. The method of claim 7 ,
wherein, in case that a plurality of SR resources are configured by the base station, the information on the priority for each SR transmission is determined based on information configuring each SR resource among the plurality of the SR resources.

11. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller configured to:
control the transceiver to receive, from a base station, priority information on a priority for an uplink transmission;
identify that a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission are overlapped in time; and
