Abstract

A wireless communication system is disclosed. Disclosed herein are methods for transmitting a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) signal in a wireless communication system, which includes setting transmit power for the PUCCH signal, and an apparatus thereof. If the PUCCH signal is transmitted on a subframe configured for a scheduling request (SR), the PUCCH signal includes one or more hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) bits and an SR bit. When determining the transmit power for the PUCCH, the SR bit is selectively considered depending on whether or not a transport block for an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) is present in the subframe.

Claims (180)

1. A method for transmitting a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) signal by a communication apparatus in a wireless communication system, comprising:

setting transmit power for the PUCCH signal,

wherein, if the PUCCH signal is transmitted on a subframe configured for a scheduling request (SR), the PUCCH signal includes one or more hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) bits and an SR bit, and

wherein the transmit power for the PUCCH is determined by using the following equation:

N

where, n HARQ is associated with the number of information bits of HARQ-ACK, N denotes a positive integer, and n SR is 1 when a transport block for an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) is not present at the subframe and is 0 when the transport block for the UL-SCH is present at the subframe.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the transmit power for the PUCCH signal at a subframe i is determined by using the following equation:

where, P PUCCH (i) denotes transmit power for the PUCCH, P CMAX,c (i) denotes maximum transmit power configured for a serving cell c, P 0 — PUCCH denotes a parameter configured by a higher layer, PL c denotes a downlink path loss estimation value of the serving cell c, Δ F — PUCCH (F) denotes a value corresponding to a PUCCH format, Δ T×D (F′) denotes a value configured by the higher layer or 0, and g(i) denotes a current PUCCH power control adjustment state.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the SR bit is attached to the end of the one or more HARQ-ACK bits.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the SR bit is set to 1 in case of a positive SR and is set to 0 in case of a negative SR.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the communication apparatus is configured with a simultaneous PUCCH-and-physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission mode.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein N is 2 or 3.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more HARQ-ACK bits and the SR bit are joint-coded.

8. A communication apparatus configured to transmit a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) signal in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor configured to set transmit power for the PUCCH signal,

wherein, if the PUCCH signal is transmitted on a subframe configured for a scheduling request (SR), the PUCCH signal includes one or more hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) bits and an SR bit, and

wherein the transmit power for the PUCCH is determined by using the following equation:
