Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a block diagram of a wireless communication system to which an embodiment of the present invention is applicable. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network-side device 12. The terminal 11 may also be referred to as a terminal Device or a User Equipment (UE), where the terminal 11 may be a Mobile phone, a Tablet Personal Computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a Laptop Computer (Laptop Computer), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a Mobile Internet Device (MID), a Wearable Device (Wearable Device), or a vehicle-mounted Device, and the specific type of the terminal 11 is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. The network-side device 12 may be a Base Station or a core network, wherein the Base Station may be a 5G or later-version Base Station (e.g., a gNB, a 5G NR NB, etc.), or a Base Station in other communication systems (e.g., an eNB, a WLAN access point, or other access points, etc.), or a location server (e.g., an E-SMLC or an lmf (location Manager function)), wherein the Base Station may be referred to as a node B, an evolved node B, an access point, a Base Transceiver Station (BTS), a radio Base Station, a radio Transceiver, a Basic Service Set (BSS), an Extended Service Set (ESS), a node B, an evolved node B (eNB), a home node B, a home evolved node B, a WLAN access point, a WiFi node, or some other suitable terminology in the field, as long as the same technical effect is achieved, the base station is not limited to a specific technical vocabulary, and it should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, only the base station in the NR system is taken as an example, but the specific type of the base station is not limited.

The base stations may communicate with the terminals 11 under the control of a base station controller, which may be part of the core network or some of the base stations in various examples. Some base stations may communicate control information or user data with the core network through a backhaul. In some examples, some of the base stations may communicate with each other, directly or indirectly, over backhaul links, which may be wired or wireless communication links. A wireless communication system may support operation on multiple carriers (waveform signals of different frequencies). A multi-carrier transmitter can transmit modulated signals on the multiple carriers simultaneously. For example, each communication link may be a multi-carrier signal modulated according to various radio technologies. Each modulated signal may be transmitted on a different carrier and may carry control information (e.g., reference signals, control channels, etc.), overhead information, data, and so on.

The base station may communicate wirelessly with the terminal 11 via one or more access point antennas. Each base station may provide communication coverage for a respective coverage area. The coverage area of an access point may be divided into sectors that form only a portion of the coverage area. A wireless communication system may include different types of base stations (e.g., macro, micro, or pico base stations). The base stations may also utilize different radio technologies, such as cellular or WLAN radio access technologies. The base stations may be associated with the same or different access networks or operator deployments. The coverage areas of different base stations (including coverage areas of base stations of the same or different types, coverage areas utilizing the same or different radio technologies, or coverage areas belonging to the same or different access networks) may overlap.

The communication link in the wireless communication system may include an Uplink for carrying Uplink (UL) transmission (e.g., from the terminal 11 to the network side device 12) or a Downlink for carrying Downlink (DL) transmission (e.g., from the network side device 12 to the terminal 11). The UL transmission may also be referred to as reverse link transmission, while the DL transmission may also be referred to as forward link transmission. Downlink transmissions may be made using licensed frequency bands, unlicensed frequency bands, or both. Similarly, uplink transmissions may be made using licensed frequency bands, unlicensed frequency bands, or both.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating transmission of a Wake-up Signal (Wake-up Signal) using an energy-saving PDCCH before a discontinuous reception (CDRX) duration (on-duration) in a Connected state, where 1 is a Wake-up Signal (WUS) transmitted using the energy-saving PDCCH, 2 is a sleep (sleep) period, 3 is a Ramp-up (Ramp-up), 4 is a Data & control channel process (Data & control channel processing), 5 is a Ramp-down (Ramp-down), and 6 is a reception PDCCH (PDCCH-only Rx).

The network side device may explicitly notify the UE through the energy-saving PDCCH whether a next Discontinuous Reception (DRX) Cycle starts a DRX duration timer (onduration timer) or skips the DRX. The UE indicates whether the UE needs to start a DRX (discontinuous reception) Onductivity timer or not according to a received awakening instruction of the energy-saving PDCCH (physical downlink control channel), if the DRX Onductivity timer is started, the UE needs to monitor the PDCCH controlled by the DRX, report a periodic and semi-continuous CSI report, and send periodic and semi-continuous Sounding Reference Signals (SRS); if the UE does not start the DRXOndurationTimer, the UE does not need to monitor the PDCCH controlled by the DRX function, report periodic and semi-continuous CSI or carry out periodic and semi-continuous SRS transmission.

In the embodiment of the invention, the following high-level signaling is introduced to configure whether the UE starts a DRXOndurationTimer, whether the UE reports periodic CSI and whether the UE reports periodic layer 1 Reference Signal received Power (L1-Reference Signal Receiving Power, L1-RSRP).

Signaling 1: the network side equipment indicates whether the DRXOndurationTimer needs to be started or not under the condition that the UE does not detect the energy-saving PDCCH through high-level signaling.

Signaling 2: the network side equipment indicates whether the UE needs to report periodic CSI (periodic CSI, P-CSI) or not under the condition that the energy-saving PDCCH is not detected through a high-level signaling.

And 3, signaling: the network side equipment indicates whether the UE needs to report the periodic layer 1-RSRP (periodic layer 1RSRP, p-L1-RSRP) or not under the condition that the UE does not detect the energy-saving PDCCH through a high-level signaling.

The signaling 2 and the signaling 3 are suitable for signaling 1 to configure that the UE needs to report the p-CSI and the p-L1-RSRP which are configured by the UE through the network under the condition that the DRXonduration timer is not required to be started under the condition that the energy-saving PDCCH is not detected; if the signaling 1 indicates that the UE needs to start the drxonductivitimer when the UE does not detect the energy-saving PDCCH, the UE needs to perform periodic and semi-continuous CSI reporting, L1-RSRP reporting, and SRS transmission, except for monitoring the PDCCH controlled by the DRX function.

The PDCCH controlled by the DRX function is a PDCCH scrambled by a Cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI), a control configuration scheduling identifier (CS-RNTI), an identifier (INT-RNTI) for downlink preemption, an identifier (SFI-RNTI) for a time slot format, an identifier (SP-CSI-RNTI) for a semi-persistent CSI report on a PUSCH, an identifier (TPC-PUCCH-RNTI) for controlling PUCCH power, an identifier (TPC-PUSCH-RNTI) for controlling PUSCH power and an identifier (TPC-SRS-RNTI) for controlling SRS power, and the PDCCH needs to be monitored in a DRX active period (active time) and does not need to be monitored outside the active period.

The energy-saving PDCCH is a PDCCH for transmitting an awake indication, and is also called an awake signal, and is generally scrambled using a PS-RNTI.

Uplink Control Information (UCI) includes the following categories: hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) -Acknowledgement (ACK), CSI, Scheduling ReQuest (SR).

The UCI may be transmitted on a Periodic Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource, and the CSI may be transmitted on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) in a manner triggered by Downlink Control Information (DCI). If there is an overlap in time of resources of PUCCH and/or PUSCH for transmitting different UCI. The UE needs to multiplex UCI transmitted on multiple channels on the same PUCCH or PUSCH resource.

If there is overlap in the time domain between the PUCCH for UCI transmission and the PUSCH for UE transmission data, the UE multiplexes UCI for transmission on the PUSCH, which may be a scheduled PUSCH or a configuration grant (configurable grant) PUSCH.

Based on the above technology, if the network side device configures the UE through a high-level signaling without detecting the energy-saving PDCCH, the DRX on duration timer does not need to be started, if the network side device sends the energy-saving PDCCH, but the UE does not detect the energy-saving PDCCH, the UE may not report the SP-CSI, and based on the configuration of the network side device and whether the UE detects the energy-saving PDCCH, the UE may not report the periodic CSI. In this case, the network side device may not normally receive the uplink control information of the UE due to the fact that whether the UE reports the P-CSI and the SP-CSI is inconsistent with the actual transmission of the UE.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for reporting uplink control information, which is applied to a terminal, and as shown in fig. 3, the method includes:

step 101: monitoring an energy-saving Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), and transmitting uplink control information to network side equipment according to Discontinuous Reception (DRX) behavior configuration information and/or reporting configuration information of the uplink control information of the network side equipment when the energy-saving PDCCH is not detected, wherein the mode for transmitting the uplink control information comprises at least one of the following modes:

Optionally, the method for transmitting uplink control information further includes:

and if the HARQ-ACK and the CSI of the SPS PDSCH are reported, determining PUCCH resources used for reporting according to the bit number of the CSI and the bit number of the HARQ-ACK.

And receiving a second signaling of the network side equipment, wherein the second signaling indicates that the CSI is reported when the energy-saving PDCCH is not detected.

if the PUCCH for transmitting the HARQ-ACK and the PUCCH for reporting the CSI are in the same time slot and the existing resources are overlapped,

if the HARQ-ACK and the CSI are not multiplexed to be transmitted on the same PUCCH resource, the HARQ-ACK is not reported;

In the above embodiment, two resources used for reporting the uplink control information are overlapped, or overlapped with one or more other PUSCH resources, where the two resources are selected from PUCCH and PUSCH, and both the two resources may be PUCCH or PUSCH, or one may be PUCCH and one may be PUSCH. When resources for transmitting the uplink control information are overlapped, the uplink control information needs to be multiplexed to one of a plurality of uplink transmission resources for transmission, where the plurality of uplink transmission resources include a plurality of PUCCHs and/or PUSCHs.

An embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for reporting uplink control information, which is applied to a network side device, and as shown in fig. 4, the method includes:

step 201: sending discontinuous reception DRX behavior configuration information and/or reporting configuration information of uplink control information to a terminal;

In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the DRX behavior configuration information includes at least one of:

a first signaling indicating whether to start a discontinuous reception duration timer DRXOnDurationTimer when the energy-saving PDCCH is not detected;

and second signaling indicating whether to report the P-CSI or the CSI when the energy-saving PDCCH is not detected.

The technical scheme of the invention is further described by combining the specific embodiments as follows:

example 1

In the related art, if a network side device configures a plurality of PUCCH resources configured for CSI reporting in one slot (slot), and there is overlap between the PUCCH resources.

If the network side device does not configure multiple PUCCH resource lists (multi-CSI-PUCCH-resource lists) for transmitting CSI, first determining a first PUCCH resource, where the first PUCCH resource corresponds to a resource of a CSI report with a high priority in PUCCH where PUCCH resources overlap, and if the first PUCCH resource is in PUCCH format (format)2 and there is a PUCCH resource that does not overlap with the first PUCCH resource in the remaining resources in the slot, the UE determines a resource with a highest priority reported by CSI in the remaining resources that satisfy the condition, and reports the CSI on the resource.

If the first PUCCH resource is

PUCCH format

3 or 4, PUCCH format 2 exists in the residual resources in the slot, and the resource is not overlapped with the first PUCCH resource, the UE determines the resource with the highest CSI reporting priority in the residual resources meeting the condition, and reports the CSI on the resource.

If the network side equipment configures multi-CSI-PUCCH-resource List and any PUCCH resource in the slot has resource overlapping, the UE multiplexes all CSI reports into one resource in the multi-CSI-PUCCH-resource List.

If the network side equipment configures the UE through high-layer signaling without starting the DRX onduration timer under the condition of not detecting the energy-saving PDCCH, and

the network side equipment configures that the UE needs to report the p-CSI under the condition that the energy-saving PDCCH is not detected, and

the network side equipment simultaneously configures the UE for SP-CSI reporting, and the reporting time is in the time period corresponding to the DRXOndurationTimer or the time period corresponding to the activation period.

In this case, if the UE detects the energy-saving PDCCH, the UE turns on a DRX onduration timer, and both periodic and semi-continuous CSI need to be reported, and in this case, if PUCCH resources for p-CSI and sp-CSI transmission overlap, CSI multiplexing needs to be performed according to the above procedure rule, or a first and/or second PUCCH resource is selected to report multiple CSIs.

However, if the network side device sends the energy-saving PDCCH and the UE does not detect it, the UE does not report the sp-CSI and still reports the p-CSI, however, since the network side device sends the energy-saving PDCCH to instruct the UE to turn on the drx duration timer, the network side device considers that the UE reports the p-CSI and the sp-CSI in the same slot, determines whether the slot has overlapping PUCCH resources according to the above rule, and determines the first PUCCH resource, the second PUCCH resource, or selects one resource from multi-CSI-PUCCH-resource list resources. Therefore, the terminal does not detect the energy-saving PDCCH, and the PUCCH resources, multiplexing modes, information bit numbers and the like transmitted on the slot by the network side device and the UE are not consistent, so that the network side device cannot correctly receive the PUCCH.

Therefore, in this embodiment, when the network side device configuration is as shown in (1) to (3):

(1) configuring the UE through high-layer signaling without starting a DRX ondurationTimer under the condition that the energy-saving PDCCH is not detected;

(2) the network side equipment configures the p-CSI to be reported when the UE does not detect the energy-saving PDCCH;

(3) the network side equipment simultaneously configures the UE for SP-CSI reporting, and the reporting time is in the time period corresponding to the DRXOndurationtimer or the time period corresponding to the activation period;

the UE still reports the SP-CSI, but the UE does not update the SP-CSI, the reported SP-CSI can be the SP-CSI of the previous reporting period, and the UE determines PUCCH resources including multiplexing or not, the bit number of UCI and the like on the basis of the assumption that the SP-CSI is reported.

And if the PUCCH resources reporting the SP-CSI and the P-CSI are overlapped, the UE does not report the SP-CSI or the P-CSI.

Example 2

In the related art, if the UE needs to report the HARQ-ACK, report the SR, and/or report the CSI in the PUCCH in the same slot, and the PUCCHs are in the same slot and overlap in time, the UE multiplexes the UCI in the same PUCCH resource.

The UE needs to determine whether to perform UCI multiplexing and the UCI bit number on the resource for UCI multiplexing transmission according to whether there is an overlapping condition.

the network side equipment is simultaneously configured with UE for CSI reporting, and

the network side equipment configures that the UE does not need to report the CSI under the condition that the energy-saving PDCCH is not detected, and if the energy-saving PDCCH is detected, the reporting time of the CSI is in a time period corresponding to the DRXOndurationtimer or a time period corresponding to an activation period.

In this case, if the UE detects the energy-saving PDCCH, the UE starts the DRX onduration timer and needs to report the CSI, and if the PUCCH resource for transmitting the CSI overlaps with the PUCCH resource for HARQ-ACK, the UCI multiplexing transmission needs to be performed according to the above flow rules.

If the network side equipment sends the energy-saving PDCCH and the UE does not detect the energy-saving PDCCH, the CSI cannot be reported, but the network side equipment indicates the UE to start a DRXonduration timer by sending the energy-saving PDCCH, and the network side equipment considers that the UE reports the CSI in the same slot. If the UE receives a Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) PDSCH activated at this time, the UE needs to feed back HARQ-ACK corresponding to the SPSPDSCH, and there is resource overlap between a PUCCH for transmitting the HARQ-ACK and a PUCCH reported by CSI in one slot, and the UE needs to multiplex the HARQ-ACK and the CSI on the same PUCCH resource. And because the UE does not detect the energy-saving PDCCH, the UE only feeds back the HARQ-ACK and does not report the CSI. Therefore, the terminal and the network side device have inconsistent understanding on whether the UE performs multiplexing transmission, so that the network side device cannot correctly receive the PUCCH transmitted by the UE.

(2) configuring UE to report CSI;

(3) configuring that the UE does not need to report the CSI under the condition that the energy-saving PDCCH is not detected, and if the energy-saving PDCCH is detected, the reporting time of the CSI is in a time period corresponding to the DRXOndurationtimer or a time period corresponding to an activation period;

the UE still reports the CSI, but the UE does not update the CSI reporting, the reported CSI is the CSI of the previous reporting period, and the UE determines PUCCH resources including multiplexing or not, the bit number of UCI and the like based on the assumption of CSI reporting.

And if the HARQ-ACK of the SPS PDSCH and the PUCCH resource of the CSI are overlapped, the CSI is abandoned to be transmitted, and only the HARQ-ACK of the SPS PDSCH is transmitted.

Example 3

In the related technology, the UE is supported to perform HARQ-ACK feedback in a semi-static codebook manner, the UE determines an HARQ codebook according to Time Domain Resource Allocation (TDRA) configuration configured by the network side device, configured PDCCH monitoring opportunity, and a supported k1 set, and the number of HARQ-ACK bits fed back by using the semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook is determined.

If the UE monitors the energy-saving PDCCH and indicates that the UE needs to start a DRXonduration timer, the UE needs to perform PDCCH monitoring controlled by DRX, including PDCCH (PDCCH scrambled by C-RNTI, CS-RNTI and MCS-RNTI) monitoring for indicating data scheduling, and the UE needs to feed back HARQ-ACK aiming at the scheduled PDCCHs.

In the related art, if the UE needs to report the HARQ-ACK, report the SR, and/or report the CSI in the PUCCH in the same slot, and the PUCCHs are in the same slot and overlap in time, the UE multiplexes the UCI in the same PUCCH resource. The UE needs to determine whether to perform UCI multiplexing and the UCI bit number on the resource for UCI multiplexing transmission according to whether there is an overlapping condition.

the network side device configures that the UE needs to report the CSI under the condition that the energy-saving PDCCH is not detected, and the reporting time is in a time period corresponding to the DRXOndurationTimer or a time period corresponding to the activation period.

In this case, if the UE detects the energy-saving PDCCH, the UE starts the DRX OnDurationTimer and needs to report CSI. Because the UE still needs to monitor the scheduling PDCCH and perform the corresponding HARQ-ACK feedback when the drxonductivitimer is turned on, if the PUCCH resource for transmitting the CSI overlaps with the PUCCH resource for transmitting the HARQ-ACK, the UCI multiplexing transmission needs to be performed according to the above flow rules.

If the network side equipment sends the energy-saving PDCCH and the UE does not detect the energy-saving PDCCH, the scheduling DCIs are not monitored, HARQ-ACK feedback is not carried out, however, the network side equipment indicates the UE to start a DRXondurationtimer by sending the energy-saving PDCCH, and the network side equipment considers that the UE can report the HARQ-ACK. If the PUCCH for transmitting the HARQ-ACK and the PUCCH for reporting the CSI are in one slot and the resources are overlapped, the UE needs to multiplex the HARQ-ACK and the CSI on the same PUCCH resource. And because the UE does not detect the energy-saving PDCCH, the UE only reports the CSI and does not feed back the HARQ-ACK. Therefore, the terminal and the network side device have inconsistent understanding on whether the UE performs multiplexing transmission, so that the network side device cannot correctly receive the PUCCH transmitted by the UE.

(2) configuring UE to report CSI;

(3) configuring that UE needs to report CSI under the condition that an energy-saving PDCCH is not detected, wherein the reporting time is in a time period corresponding to a DRXOndurationtimer or a time period corresponding to an activation period;

and if the PUCCH feeding back the HARQ-ACK and the PUCCH feeding back the CSI are not multiplexed, the UE does not feed back the HARQ-ACK.

If the HARQ-ACK and the CSI need to be multiplexed on the same PUCCH for transmission, the UE sets all HARQ-ACK bits as NACK. Preferably, in the feedback HARQ bits, only setting HARQ-Ack reported for detection of a PDCCH therein as NACK, where the PDCCH includes a downlink scheduling PDCCH, a PDCCH for indicating SPS PDSCH release, and a PDCCH for indicating a Scell dormant state; if the HARQ feedback contains HARQ-Ack received aiming at the SPS PDSCH, the HARQ-Ack bit reporting is still determined according to whether the UE detects the SPS PDSCH, if the HARQ-Ack bit is correctly received, the ACK is reported, and if the HARQ feedback does not contain the HARQ-Ack received aiming at the SPS PDSCH, NACK is fed back;

example 4

In the related art, if resources of the PUSCH for feeding back the HARQ-ACK and/or the CSI overlap, the UE needs to multiplex HARQ-ACK information onto the PUSCH resources.

the network side equipment configures that the UE does not need to report the CSI under the condition that the energy-saving PDCCH is not detected, and if the UE detects the energy-saving PDCCH, the time for reporting the CSI is in a time period corresponding to the DRXOndurationTimer or a time period corresponding to an activation period.

In this case, if the UE detects the energy-saving PDCCH, the UE starts the DRX OnDurationTimer, and needs to report CSI and perform HARQ-ACK feedback. If the UE needs to transmit the configuredgrantPUSCH in the slot reported by the CSI and the HARQ, and if the PUCCH resource for transmitting the CSI and the HARQ-ACK is overlapped with the configuredgrant PUSCH resource, multiplexing of UCI is needed according to the flow rule, and the HARQ-ACK and the CSI are multiplexed to the PUSCH for transmission.

If the network side equipment sends the energy-saving PDCCH and the UE does not detect the energy-saving PDCCH, the UE does not perform HARQ-ACK feedback on the scheduling DCI and does not report CSI, but the network side equipment indicates the UE to start a DRXondurationtimer by sending the energy-saving PDCCH, and the network side equipment considers that the UE can report the HARQ-ACK and the CSI. If the PUCCH and configuredgrantPUSCH for transmitting HARQ-ACK and CSI are in one slot and there is an overlap of resources, the UE needs to multiplex the HARQ-ACK and CSI onto the same PUSCH resource. And the UE does not report the HARQ-ACK and the CSI because the UE does not detect the energy-saving PDCCH, namely, the HARQ-ACK and the CSI are not multiplexed on the configuredgrantPUSCH resource. Therefore, the terminal and the network side device have inconsistent understanding on whether the UE performs multiplexing transmission, so that the network side device cannot correctly receive the PUCCH transmitted by the UE.

(2) configuring UE to report CSI;

(3) configuring that the UE does not need to report the CSI under the condition that the energy-saving PDCCH is not detected, and if the UE detects the energy-saving PDCCH, the time for reporting the CSI is in a time period corresponding to the DRXOndurationtimer or a time period corresponding to an activation period;

in this case, the UE multiplexes HARQ-ACK and CSI in the PUSCH, sets all HARQ-ACK bits as NACK, and at the same time, the UE does not update CSI and still reports CSI of the previous reporting period.

The UE does not perform the transmission of configuredgrantPUSCH, and only transmits HARQ-ACK and CSI on PUCCH resources.
