Claim 3:
4. A method for transmitting uplink control information, comprising:
determining, by a network-side device, an encoded Uplink Control Information, UCI, bit sequence in a first transmission of UCI repetition transmission, wherein the UCI is configured with repetition transmission using a Physical Uplink Control Channel, PUCCH occupying multiple slots, and the UCI is repeated in each of the multiple slots; wherein the encoded UCI bit sequence is determined based on a transmission resource for transmitting the UCI on an uplink channel used in the first transmission;
receiving, by the network-side device, the encoded UCI bit sequence on a determined uplink channel in each of subsequent repetition transmissions of the UCI;
wherein the receiving the encoded UCI bit sequence on a determined uplink channel in each of subsequent repetition transmissions of the UCI, comprises:
if a transmission resource required by the encoded UCI bit sequence is larger than a transmission resource for transmitting the UCI on the determined uplink channel in each of subsequent repetition transmissions of the UCI, performing, by the network-side device, merge processing on the encoded UCI bit sequence; or
if a transmission resource required by the encoded UCI bit sequence is smaller than a transmission resource for transmitting the UCI on the determined uplink channel in each of subsequent repetition transmissions of the UCI, performing, by the network-side device, deduplication processing on the encoded UCI bit sequence.
