Method for transmitting uplink control information, user equipment and base station

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, coupled to a processor, and storing programming instructions for execution by the processor, the programming instructions, when executed, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• determining, according to uplink control information, a resource group from semi-statically configured resource groups including a first resource group and a second resource group, wherein a maximum number of information bits supported by physical uplink control channels corresponding to resources comprised in the first resource group is greater than a maximum number of information bits supported by physical uplink control channels corresponding to resources comprised in the second resource group;
• determining a physical uplink control channel resource in the resource group determined from the semi-statically configured resource groups;
• sending a physical downlink control channel to a user equipment, wherein the physical downlink control channel includes indication information indicating the physical uplink control channel resource in the resource group determined from the semi-statically configured resource groups;
• and
• receiving, over a physical uplink control channel corresponding to the physical uplink control channel resource in the resource group determined from the semi-statically configured resource groups, the uplink control information from the user equipment.

A wireless communication system, comprising:

• a base station;
• and
• a user equipment,
• wherein the user equipment is configured to:
• receive a physical downlink control channel from the base station, wherein the physical downlink control channel includes indication information indicating a physical uplink control channel resource used to transmit uplink control information in a first resource group or a second resource group;
• determine, according to the uplink control information, a resource group from semi-statically configured resource groups including the first resource group and the second resource group, wherein a maximum number of information bits supported by physical uplink control channels corresponding to resources comprised in the first resource group is greater than a maximum number of information bits supported by physical uplink control channels corresponding to resources comprised in the second resource group;
• determine, according to the indication information, the physical uplink control channel resource in the resource group determined from the semi-statically configured resource groups;
• and
• send the uplink control information to the base station over a physical uplink control channel corresponding to the physical uplink control channel resource;
• and
• wherein the base station is configured to:
• determine, according to the uplink control information, the resource group from the semi-statically configured resource groups including the first resource group and the second resource group;
• determine the physical uplink control channel resource in the resource group determined from the semi-statically configured resource groups;
• send the physical downlink control channel to the user equipment;
• and
• receive, over the physical uplink control channel corresponding to the physical uplink control channel resource in the resource group determined from the semi-statically configured resource groups, the uplink control information from the user equipment.
