Abstract
The present invention provides a communication method, network device and terminal, to improve the flexible in transmitting the PUCCH. A communication method is provided, which comprises: determining, by a network device, one or more first slots to be configured for a terminal to carry a first Physical Uplink Control Channel, PUCCH; and, sending, by the network device, a first piece of information to the terminal, to configure the terminal to carry the first PUCCH in the one or more first slots.
Claims16
A communication method, comprising:
- determining, by a network device, one or more first slots to be configured for a terminal to carry a first Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH);
- and
- sending, by the network device, a first piece of information to the terminal, to configure the terminal to carry the first PUCCH in the one or more first slots,
- wherein the first piece of information carries an indication of a starting first slot of the one or more first slots, and a number of the one or more first slots, and
- wherein when not all the first slots after the starting first slot are used to carry the first PUCCH, the first slots configured for carrying the first PUCCH include multiple nonconsecutive slots.
2 more elements
A communication method, comprising:
- receiving, by a terminal, a first piece of information from a network device, wherein the first piece of information is used to configure the terminal to carry a first Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) in one or more first slots;
- carrying, by the terminal, the first PUCCH in the one or more first slots according to the first piece of information, wherein the first piece of information carries an indication of a starting first slot of the one or more first slots, and a number of the one or more first slots;
- and
- determining, by the terminal, the one or more first slots according to the indication of the starting first slot and the number of the one or more first slots,
- wherein when not all the first slots after the starting first slot are used to carry the first PUCCH, the first slots configured for carrying the first PUCCH include multiple nonconsecutive slots.
2 more elements
A network device, comprising:
- a processor, configured to determine one or more first slots to be configured for a terminal to carry a first Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH);
- and
- a communications interface, configured to send a first piece of information to the terminal, to configure the terminal to carry the first PUCCH in the one or more first slots,
- wherein the first piece of information carries an indication of a starting first slot of the one or more first slots, and a number of the one or more first slots, and
- when not all the first slots after the starting first slot are used to carry the first PUCCH, the first slots configured for carrying the first PUCCH include multiple nonconsecutive slots.
2 more elements
A terminal, comprising:
- a communications interface, configured to receive a first piece of information from a network device, the first piece of information is used to configure the terminal to carry a first Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) in one or more first slots;
- and
- a processor, configured to:
- carry the first PUCCH in the one or more first slots according to the first piece of information, wherein the first piece of information carries an indication of a starting first slot of the one or more first slots, and a number of the one or more first slots, and
- determine the one or more first slots according to the indication of the starting first slot and the number of the one or more first slots,
- wherein when not all the first slots after the starting first slot are used to carry the first PUCCH, the first slots configured for carrying the first PUCCH include multiple nonconsecutive slots.
