Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for adjusting a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format in a wireless communication network. In particular, the method is implemented for adjusting a PUCCH format in an uplink transmission from a terminal device to a network device in a wireless communication network. The method comprises: using a first PUCCH format having a first duration for a service between the terminal device and the network device; and using (804) a second PUCCH format having a second and different duration for the service of the terminal device responsive to a determination that the first PUCCH format is in need of change based on one or more events.
Claims19
A method implemented for adjusting a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format in an uplink transmission from a terminal device to a network device in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
- using a first PUCCH format having a first duration for a service between the terminal device and the network device;
- and
- switching to a second PUCCH format having a second and different duration for the service of the terminal device responsive to a determination that the first PUCCH format is in need of change based on one or more events that comprise a quality measurement of communication between the terminal device and the network device crossing over one or more thresholds, wherein allocated radio resources corresponding to the first PUCCH format are maintained until allocation of radio resources for the second PUCCH format is completed.
A terminal device, comprising:
- a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium to store instructions;
- and
- a processor coupled with the non-transitory machine-readable storage medium to process the stored instructions, causing the terminal device to perform:
- using a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format having a first duration for a service between the terminal device and a network device, wherein the first PUCCH format is used in an uplink transmission from the terminal device to the network device in a wireless communication network;
- and
- switching to a second PUCCH format having a second and different duration for the service of the terminal device responsive to a determination that the first PUCCH format is in need of change based on one or more events that comprise a quality measurement of communication between the terminal device and the network device crossing over one or more thresholds, wherein allocated radio resources corresponding to the first PUCCH format are maintained until allocation of radio resources for the second PUCCH format is completed.
A network device, comprising a radio interface and processing circuitry configured to:
- cause a terminal device to use a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format having a first duration for a service between the terminal device and the network device, wherein the first PUCCH format is used in an uplink transmission from the terminal device to the network device in a wireless communication network;
- cause the terminal device to switch to a second PUCCH format having a second and different duration for the service of the terminal device responsive to a determination that the first PUCCH format is in need of change based on one or more events that comprise a quality measurement of communication between the terminal device and the network device crossing over one or more thresholds, wherein allocated radio resources corresponding to the first PUCCH format are maintained until allocation of radio resources for the second PUCCH format is completed.
