Abstract

A method and an apparatus for transmitting uplink control information (UCI), performed by a user equipment, in a wireless communication system are provided. The method comprising: generating encoded information bits by performing channel coding on information bits of the UCI; generating a modulation symbol sequence by modulating the encoded information bits; generating a spread sequence by block-wise spreading on the modulation symbol sequences with an orthogonal sequence; and transmitting the spread sequence to a base station through an uplink control channel, wherein the information bits of the UCI comprises a first UCI bit sequence and a second UCI information bit.

Claims (26)

1. A method for transmitting control information, performed

by a user equipment (UE), in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

generating, by the UE, uplink control information (UCI); and

transmitting, by the UE, the UCI to a base station through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a subframe,

wherein when the subframe is configured for transmission of a scheduling request (SR) and when transmission of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-acknowledgement (ACK) coincides with the subframe, transmission power of the PUCCH is determined based on a number of HARQ-ACK information bits and a SR bit,

wherein the UCI is generated by block-wise spreading of a symbol sequence with orthogonal sequences, and

wherein the symbol sequence is generated from encoded information bits and the encoded information bits are generated by performing channel coding on information bits.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SR bit is one bit.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UCI comprises the HARQ-ACK information bits and the SR bit.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the information bits comprise concatenation of HARQ-ACK information bits for each of serving cells and the SR bit, and

wherein the SR bit is appended to the end of the concatenated HARQ-ACK information bits.

5. An apparatus for transmitting control information, the apparatus comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit or receive a radio signal; and

a processor coupled to the RF unit,

wherein the processor is configured to:

generate uplink control information (UCI); and

transmit the UCI to a base station through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a subframe,

wherein when the subframe is configured for transmission of a scheduling request (SR) and when transmission of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-acknowledgement (ACK) coincides with the subframe, transmission power of the PUCCH is determined based on a number of HARQ-ACK information bits and a SR bit,

wherein the UCI is generated by block-wise spreading of a symbol sequence with orthogonal sequences, and

wherein the symbol sequence is generated from encoded information bits and the encoded information bits are generated by performing channel coding on information bits.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the SR bit is one bit.

7. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the UCI comprises the HARQ-ACK information bits and the SR bit.

8. The apparatus of claim 5 ,

wherein the information bits comprise concatenation of HARQ-ACK information bits for each of serving cells and the SR bit, and

wherein the SR bit is appended to the end of the concatenated HARQ-ACK information bits.
