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.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- using a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format having a first duration in an uplink transmission for a service from a user equipment (UE) to a network device in a wireless communication network;
- and
- switching from the first PUCCH format to a second PUCCH format that has a second and different duration for the service in response to one or more events, the one or more events comprising that one or more radio channel quality measurements crossing one or more corresponding threshold values, wherein the UE is to indicate to the network device the second PUCCH format responsive to the switching from the first PUCCH format to the second PUCCH format.
A user equipment (UE), 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 processor to perform:
- using a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format having a first duration in an uplink transmission for a service from the UE to a network device in a wireless communication network;
- and
- switching from the first PUCCH format to a second PUCCH format that has a second and different duration for the service in response to one or more events, the one or more events comprising that one or more radio channel quality measurements crossing one or more corresponding threshold values, wherein the UE is to indicate to the network device the second PUCCH format responsive to the switching from the first PUCCH format to the second PUCCH format.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium to store instructions that when executed by a processor, causing the processor to perform:
- using a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format having a first duration in an uplink transmission for a service from a user equipment (UE) to a network device in a wireless communication network;
- and
- switching from the first PUCCH format to a second PUCCH format that has a second and different duration for the service in response to one or more events, the one or more events comprising that one or more radio channel quality measurements crossing one or more corresponding threshold values, wherein the UE is to indicate to the network device the second PUCCH format responsive to the switching from the first PUCCH format to the second PUCCH format.
