The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The present disclosure provides a method for processing uplink control information (UCI) and a terminal. The method for processing UCI includes: determining the UCI which overlaps with a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) resource in time domain according to the PUSCH resource; determining whether to transmit the UCI, and performing corresponding processing based on a determination result. The present disclosure realizes effective transmission of UCI to be transmitted, and improves transmission efficiency.
