  • Publication number: 20220150939
    Abstract: Disclosed are a transmission method and device, for use in solving the problem in the prior art that no specific solution is available for dealing with how to transmit an SR and a PUSCH when the SR overlaps with the PUSCH in a time domain. According to embodiments of the present invention, if it is determined that a PUCCH bearing first type of DCI overlaps with the PUSCH in the time domain after a target node of the PUSCH, it is possible to select to discard the first type of DCI or delay the first type of DCI to the next transmission opportunity for transmitting. The first type of DCI borne by the PUCCH overlapping with the PUSCH is discarded or delayed to the next transmission opportunity for transmitting, thus ensuring that one PUSCH ready to be transmitted or being transmitted can be normally transmitted and reducing a waste of system resources.
