Methods and devices for communication of a signal based on an allocated resource block

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and devices for uplink puncturing. In example embodiments, the terminal device obtains a first signal to be transmitted for a first service requiring a first latency. Then, the terminal device determines whether a resource block has been a shared one for the first service requiring a first latency or allocated by a network device for a second service requiring a second latency higher than the first latency. If it is determined that the resource block has been allocated for the second service, the terminal device selects a first set of resource elements based on a predefined pattern of resource elements. The first set of resource elements are discontinuously distributed in the allocated resource block. The terminal device transmits the first signal for the first service to the network device at the first set of resource elements.
