  • Patent number: 11510230
    Abstract: A method of indicating uplink feedback information includes: dividing time/frequency resources into at least one time/frequency resource set for uplink control information; notifying user equipment (UE) a division rule and/or result with respect to the time/frequency resource set with respect to the time/frequency resource; counting, based on the set to which time/frequency resources for transmitting uplink feedback information corresponding to downlink data for the UE belong, pieces of the uplink feedback information in a preset manner; and transmitting current count values to the UE. As such, it can be ensured that the number of pieces of uplink feedback information to be transmitted from the UE by multiplexing time/frequency resources for transmitting uplink data is the same as the number of pieces of downlink data transmitted from a base station and corresponds to the uplink feedback information, thereby ensuring good communication between the UE and the base station.
