## Abstract

Disclosed is a resource determination method, including: a terminal apparatus receiving first signaling, the first signaling instructing the terminal apparatus to send feedback acknowledgement information corresponding to at least one downlink channel; and the terminal apparatus determining, on the basis of the first signaling, a resource for transmitting the feedback acknowledgement information. Also disclosed are another resource determination method, a terminal apparatus, a network apparatus, and a storage medium.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for resource determination, comprising:
receiving, by a terminal device, first signaling used for indicating the terminal device to transmit acknowledgement information for at least one downlink channel;
if the first signaling is used for scheduling a first downlink channel, determining, by the terminal device, a time domain resource for transmitting the acknowledgement information according to a transmission location of the first downlink channel; and
if the first signaling is not used for scheduling a downlink channel, determining, by the terminal device, a time domain resource for transmitting the acknowledgement information according to a transmission location of the downlink channel carrying the first signaling;
wherein when first indication information of 1 bit in the first signaling is a first value of 1, the first indication information indicates the terminal device to transmit acknowledgement information for all hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes; and
when the first signaling is used for scheduling the first downlink channel and the first indication information in the first signaling is a second value of 0, the first indication information indicates the terminal device to perform one of:
a transmission of acknowledgement information for the first downlink channel scheduled by the first signaling; or
a transmission of acknowledgement information for a first downlink channel group to which the first downlink channel scheduled by the first signaling belongs.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one downlink channel comprises at least one of:
the first downlink channel scheduled by the first signaling, or a downlink channel before the first downlink channel scheduled by the first signaling.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the time domain resource for transmitting the acknowledgement information is further determined according to a feedback timing.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein
the feedback timing is indicated by the first signaling.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein an interval between the downlink channel carrying the first signaling and an uplink channel carrying the acknowledgement information is not less than a first threshold.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
determining, by the terminal device, a codebook of the acknowledgement information;
wherein the codebook of the acknowledgement information comprises:
acknowledgement information corresponding to all of the at least one downlink channel.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the first signaling is:
downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling a transmission of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

### Claim 8

A terminal device comprising:
a network interface, configured to receive first signaling used for indicating the terminal device to transmit acknowledgement information for at least one downlink channel; and
a processor, configured to:
if the first signaling is used for scheduling a first downlink channel, determine a time domain resource for transmitting the acknowledgement information according to a transmission location of the first downlink channel; and
if the first signaling is not used for scheduling a downlink channel, determine a time domain resource for transmitting the acknowledgement information according to a transmission location of the downlink channel carrying the first signaling;
wherein when first indication information of 1 bit in the first signaling is a first value of 1, the first indication information indicates the terminal device to transmit acknowledgement information for all hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes; and
when the first signaling is used for scheduling the first downlink channel and the first indication information in the first signaling is a second value of 0, the first indication information indicates the terminal device to perform one of:
a transmission of acknowledgement information for the first downlink channel scheduled by the first signaling; or
a transmission of acknowledgement information for a first downlink channel group to which the first downlink channel scheduled by the first signaling belongs.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The terminal device of claim 8, wherein the at least one downlink channel comprises at least one of:
the first downlink channel scheduled by the first signaling, or a downlink channel before the first downlink channel scheduled by the first signaling.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The terminal device of claim 8, wherein the time domain resource for transmitting the acknowledgement information is further determined according to a feedback timing.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The terminal device of claim 10, wherein
the feedback timing is indicated by the first signaling.

### Claim 12 (depends on 10)

The terminal device of claim 10, wherein an interval between the downlink channel carrying the first signaling and an uplink channel carrying the acknowledgement information is not less than a first threshold.

### Claim 13 (depends on 8)

The terminal device of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to determine a codebook of the acknowledgement information;
wherein the codebook of the acknowledgement information comprises:
acknowledgement information corresponding to all of the at least one downlink channel.

### Claim 14 (depends on 8)

The terminal device of claim 8, wherein the first signaling is:
downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling a transmission of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

### Claim 15

A network device, comprising:
a network interface, configured to transmit first signaling used for indicating a terminal device to transmit acknowledgement information for at least one downlink channel;
wherein if the first signaling is used for scheduling a first downlink channel, the first signaling is used for the terminal device to determine a time domain resource for transmitting the acknowledgement information according to a transmission location of the first downlink channel;
if the first signaling is not used for scheduling a downlink channel, the first signaling is used for the terminal device to determine a time domain resource for transmitting the acknowledgement information according to a transmission location of the downlink channel carrying the first signaling;
wherein when first indication information of 1 bit in the first signaling is a first value of 1, the first indication information indicates the terminal device to transmit acknowledgement information for all hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes; and
when the first signaling is used for scheduling the first downlink channel and the first indication information in the first signaling is a second value of 0, the first indication information indicates the terminal device to perform one of:
a transmission of acknowledgement information for the first downlink channel scheduled by the first signaling; or
