Efficient control information transmission method and apparatus for supporting multiple antenna transmission technique
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and provides an efficient control information transmission method and apparatus for supporting a multiple antenna transmission technique. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for transmitting downlink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) information on a uplink multiple codeword transmission comprises the steps of: receiving the uplink multiple codeword transmission; generating HARQ information on each of multiple codewords, on the basis of the result of decoding each of the multiple codewords; modulating the HARQ information; and transmitting the modulated HARQ information through one or more physical HARQ indicator channels (PHICHs).
1. A method of transmitting downlink control information for scheduling transmission of uplink multiple-codeword, the method comprising:
generating the downlink control information including modulation and coding scheme (MCS) information and new data indicator (NDI) information for each of the multiple-codeword as uplink scheduling information; and
transmitting the downlink control information on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH),
wherein the downlink control information further includes physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource block allocation information, a transmit power control (TPC) command for a scheduled PUSCH, cyclic shift information for a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), an uplink index or time division duplexing (TDD), a downlink allocation index for TDD, and channel quality information (CQI) request and precoding information.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the downlink control information further includes at least a frequency hopping flag, a resource allocation header, a TPC command for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), a transport block-to-codeword swap flag, a carrier indicator or a multi-cluster flag.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:
the cyclic shift information for the DMRS includes a cyclic shift value for one layer or antenna port; and
a cyclic shift value for another layer or antenna port is computed according to a predetermined rule based on the cyclic shift value of the one layer or antenna port.
4. A method of transmitting uplink multiple-codeword scheduled by downlink control information, the method comprising:
receiving the downlink control information including modulation and coding scheme (MCS) information and new data indicator (NDI) information for each of the multiple-codewords as uplink scheduling information on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);
determining whether to retransmit each of the uplink multiple-codeword based on the NDI information; and
transmitting the multiple-codeword based on scheduling information indicated by the downlink control information,
wherein the downlink control information further includes physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource block allocation information, a transmit power control (TPC) command for a scheduled PUSCH, cyclic shift information for a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), an uplink index for time division duplexing (TDD), a downlink allocation index for TDD, and channel quality information (CQI) request and precoding information.
5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the downlink control information further includes at least a frequency hopping flag, a resource allocation header, a TPC command for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), a transport block-to-codeword swap flag, a carrier indicator or a multi-cluster flag.
6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein:
the cyclic shift information for the DMRS includes a cyclic shift value for one layer or antenna port; and
a cyclic shift value for another layer or antenna port is computed according to a predetermined rule based on the cyclic shift value of the one layer or antenna port.
