Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for uplink resource allocation have been disclosed. The method comprises: determining a frequency position of physical random access channel (PRACH) in a frequency region for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH); and determining a frequency position of the PUCCH based on a logic-to-physical mapping rule. The logic-to-physical mapping rule takes the frequency position of the PRACH as a parameter. According to the proposed solution, the PUSCH resource can be kept continuous and the flexibility of PRACH configuration can be maintained.
