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 relates to mobile communication technology, and in particular, to a method for uplink transmission and apparatus thereof.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
multiplexing first hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information bits of priority 0 and second HARQ-ACK information bits of priority 1 in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH);
determining a power for PUCCH transmission based on a number of uplink control information (UCI) bits of priority 1 and a number of resource elements associated with the UCI bits of priority 1; and
transmitting, to a base station, the PUCCH based on the power for PUCCH transmission.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PUCCH is transmitted using a PUCCH resource that includes a PUCCH format 2, a PUCCH format 3, or a PUCCH format 4.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the number of UCI bits of priority 1 is determined based on one of a number of the second HARQ-ACK information bits or a sum of the number of the second HARQ-ACK information bits and a number of scheduling request (SR) bits of priority 1.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
in case that the number of UCI bits of priority 1 is less than or equal to a predetermined value, the power for PUCCH transmission is determined based on a number of HARQ-ACK information bits for PUCCH power control of priority 1, and
in case that the number of UCI bits of priority 1 is larger than the predetermined value, the power for PUCCH transmission is determined based on a bits per resource element (BPRE) calculated using the number of UCI bits of priority 1.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the predetermined value is 11.

6. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller configured to:
multiplex first hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information bits of priority 0 and second HARQ-ACK information bits of priority 1 in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH),
determine a power for PUCCH transmission based on a number of uplink control information (UCI) bits of priority 1 and a number of resource elements associated with the UCI bits of priority 1, and
transmit, to a base station via the transceiver, the PUCCH based on the power for PUCCH transmission.

7. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the PUCCH is transmitted using a PUCCH resource that includes a PUCCH format 2, a PUCCH format 3, or a PUCCH format 4.

8. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the number of UCI bits of priority 1 is determined based on one of a number of the second HARQ-ACK information bits or a sum of the number of the second HARQ-ACK information bits and a number of scheduling request (SR) bits of priority 1.

9. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein:
in case that the number of UCI bits of priority 1 is less than or equal to a predetermined value, the power for PUCCH transmission is determined based on a number of HARQ-ACK information bits for PUCCH power control of priority 1, and
in case that the number of UCI bits of priority 1 is larger than the predetermined value, the power for PUCCH transmission is determined based on a bits per resource element (BPRE) calculated using the number of UCI bits of priority 1.

10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the predetermined value is 11.
