determining, by the base station, consecutive n scheduling units starting from the start scheduling unit and including the start scheduling unit, as scheduling units used by the uplink control channel, where n is the number of scheduling units occupied by the uplink control channel.
It shall be noted that, if the base station does not configure the user equipment to receive the scheduling unit type indication signaling from the base station, the user equipment transmits, in consecutive N scheduling units starting from the start scheduling unit used by the uplink control channel indicated in the scheduling unit indication signaling, control information of the uplink control channel.
In some embodiments, the step of determining the subsequent scheduling unit used by the uplink control channel according to the agreed rule includes:
the subsequent scheduling unit has a resource capable of carrying the uplink control channel, and the number of symbols capable of carrying the uplink control channel is greater than or equal to the number of symbols used by the uplink control channel in the start scheduling unit. The symbol is used for an NR system and allowed to be used by an uplink control channel, and the symbol includes an uplink symbol.
In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the step of determining the position of the symbol used by the uplink control channel in the subsequent scheduling unit according to the agreed rule includes:
