When the PUCCH is transmitted only in some symbols, code block(s) of the UCI may be mapped regardless of the slot format. Alternatively, the code block(s) of the UCI may be mapped according to the slot format. The difference between Method 3.1-2 and Method 3.1-3 below may be in whether the slot format is applied in the mapping procedure of the code block(s) of the UCI.
Method 3.1-2: When Method 3.1-1 is applied, code block(s) of UCI may be mapped regardless of a slot format, and a PUCCH may be transmitted only in valid symbols.
The terminal may perform a symbol-based puncturing operation in order to transmit a PUCCH (e.g., DM-RS-less PUCCH) only in valid symbol(s) (e.g., UL symbol(s)). Since the PUCCH transmission is performed regardless of the slot format, implementation of the terminal may be simplified.
Method 3.1-3: Code block(s) of UCI, to which Method 3.1-1 is applied, may be mapped only to valid symbols according to a slot format. A PUCCH may be transmitted only in valid symbols.
