A first uplink channel is obtained to carry joint information of second uplink control information carried on a second channel and third uplink control information carried on a third uplink channel. In response to the first and third uplink channels meeting a first condition, the joint information is sent on the first uplink channel. Otherwise, the third uplink control information is sent on the third uplink channel. The first condition includes at least one of: (i) a distance between ending symbols on the first and third uplink channels is less than or equal to a first threshold, (ii) a distance between starting symbols on the first and third uplink channels is less than or equal to a second threshold, or (iii) a difference between coding rates of the first and third uplink channels is less than or equal to a third threshold.
