Abstract

A wireless communication system is disclosed. A method and apparatus for allowing a user equipment (UE) to transmit uplink control information through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) are disclosed. A method for allowing a UE to transmit uplink control information through a PUSCH in a wireless communication system includes receiving configuration information about a plurality of PUSCH feedback modes, identifying information indicating a specific PUSCH feedback mode for the PUSCH by using uplink allocation information for the PUSCH, and transmitting the uplink control information through the PUSCH in accordance with the specific PUSCH feedback mode.

Claims (19)

1. A method of transmitting aperiodic channel status information (CSI) at a user equipment (UE) through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving radio resource control (RRC) configuration information about a plurality of component carrier sets for aperiodic CSI reporting,

wherein at least one of the plurality of the component carrier sets includes two or more component carriers;

receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) signal for scheduling the PUSCH,

wherein the PDCCH signal includes a 2-bit value indicator, and a value of the 2-bit value indicator indicates only one of the plurality of component carrier sets for which aperiodic CSI reporting is triggered only for CSI feedback through the PUSCH scheduled by the PDCCH signal; and

transmitting aperiodic CSI for the indicated one of the plurality of component carrier sets only through the PUSCH scheduled by the PDCCH signal.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the PDCCH signal includes resource block (RB) assignment information for the PUSCH, and an index of a RB for the PUSCH indicates the one of the plurality of component carrier sets.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the PDCCH signal includes a hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) process index for the PUSCH, and the HARQ process index indicates the one of the plurality of component carrier sets.

4. A user equipment (UE) for transmitting aperiodic channel status information (CSI) through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a wireless communication system, the user equipment (UE) comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to

receive radio resource control (RRC) configuration information about a plurality of component carrier sets for aperiodic CSI reporting,

wherein at least one of the plurality of the component carrier sets includes two or more component carriers,

receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) signal for scheduling the PUSCH,

wherein the PDCCH signal includes a 2-bit value indicator, and a value of the 2-bit value indicator indicates only one of the plurality of component carrier sets for which aperiodic CSI reporting is triggered only for CSI feedback through the PUSCH scheduled by the PDCCH signal, and

transmit aperiodic CSI for the indicated one of the plurality of component carrier sets only through the PUSCH scheduled by the PDCCH signal.

5. The user equipment (UE) according to claim 4 , wherein the PDCCH signal includes resource block (RB) assignment information for the PUSCH, and an index of a RB for the PUSCH indicates the one of the plurality of component carrier sets.

6. The user equipment (UE) according to claim 4 , wherein the PDCCH signal includes a hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) process index for the PUSCH, and the HARQ process index indicates the one of the plurality of component carrier sets.
