Transmitting method and receiving method for control information, user equipment and base station

A user equipment (UE) for transmitting Uplink Control Information (UCI), the UE comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• at least one processor, the at least one processor configured to:
• receive, from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) or a higher layer signaling,
• when first priority UCI and second priority UCI are to be transmitted in a same physical uplink channel, separately encode the first priority UCI and the second priority UCI, based on a first number of bits of the first priority UCI and a second number of bits of the second priority UCI, and
• transmit, based on the DCI or the higher layer signaling, the encoded first priority UCI and the encoded second priority UCI, to the base station, on the same physical uplink channel.

A method for receiving Uplink Control Information (UCI) performed by a base station, the method comprising:

• transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), downlink control information (DCI) or a higher layer signaling;
• and
• receiving encoded first priority UCI and encoded second priority UCI, from the UE, on a same physical uplink channel,
• wherein, when the first priority UCI and the second priority UCI are transmitted in the same physical uplink channel, the first priority UCI and the second priority UCI are separately encoded based on a first number of bits of the first priority UCI and a second number of bits of the second priority UCI.

A base station for receiving Uplink Control Information (UCI), the base station comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• at least one processor, the at least one processor configured to:
• transmit to a user equipment (UE), downlink control information (DCI) or a higher layer signaling, and
• receive encoded first priority uplink control information (UCI) and encoded second priority UCI, from the UE, on a same physical uplink channel,
• wherein, when the first priority UCI and the second priority UCI are transmitted in the same physical uplink channel, the first priority UCI and the second priority UCI are separately encoded based on a first number of bits of the first priority UCI and a second number of bits of the second priority UCI.
