Abstract

Provided is a method and an apparatus for transmitting uplink control information by a terminal in wireless communication system. When a PUCCH resource used for transmitting only periodic CSI from a subframe, the resource is a first resource, and a resource indicated by ARI is a second resource, when a setting allows transmitting together ACK/NACK and the periodic CSI through a PUCCH from the same subframe, the first resource and the second resource are mutually exclusive, and the second resource that is used for transmitting together the ACK/NACK and the periodic CSI uses the resource indicated by the ARI from resources determined by an RRC.

Claims (20)

1. A method of transmitting uplink control information (UCI), performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a data unit requesting an acknowledgement/not-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) response in a downlink subframe; and

transmitting ACK/NACK for the data unit in an uplink subframe,

wherein if the terminal is configured to simultaneously transmit periodic channel state information (CSI) and the ACK/NACK, and if one resource for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is determined by an ACK/NACK resource indicator (ARI) among a plurality of resources pre-assigned by a higher layer signal, the periodic CSI and the ACK/NACK are transmitted using the one resource for the PUCCH.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein uplink subframes in which the periodic CSI can be transmitted are predetermined by a higher layer signal.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a PUCCH format in which the ACK/NACK is transmitted is predetermined to one of a plurality of PUCCH formats by a higher layer signal.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein up to 22 information bits are transmitted through the predetermined one of the plurality of PUCCH formats.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ARI is included in downlink control information (DCI) transmitted through a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the downlink subframe.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ACK/NACK and the periodic CSI are joint-coded.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a data unit requesting the ACK/NACK response is a codeword transmitted through a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) of the downlink subframe or a PDCCH transmitted in the downlink subframe, and the PDCCH is a PDCCH indicating a release of semi-persistent scheduling (SPS).

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the ARI is included in the downlink subframe.

9. An apparatus for transmitting uplink control information, the apparatus comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit for transmitting or receiving a radio signal; and

a processor operatively coupled to the RF unit,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a data unit requesting an acknowledgement/not-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) response in a downlink subframe; and

transmit ACK/NACK for the data unit in an uplink subframe,

wherein if the processor is configured to simultaneously transmit periodic channel state information (CSI) and the ACK/NACK, and if one resource for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is determined by an ACK/NACK resource indicator (ARI), among a plurality of resources pre-assigned by a higher layer signal, the periodic CSI and the ACK/NACK are transmitted using the one resource for the PUCCH.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein uplink subframes in which the periodic CSI can be transmitted are predetermined by a higher layer signal.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein the ARI is included in the downlink subframe.
